Professor AbyssResident
on Frankenstein
“karloff reaching up at the light like he's just trying to understand and everyone around him already decided he's a problem”
“fairuza balk doing the most unhinged "we are the weirdos, mister" line reading and getting away with it completely”
Professor AbyssResident
on Black Swan
“the scratching-her-back thing genuinely ruined my whole evening and i mean that as a compliment”
Professor AbyssResident
on The Shining
“the hotel doesn't even hate them, it just doesn't care, which is so much worse”
“the moment neve campbell walks back into frame i felt my whole body sit up straighter and then spend the next two hours waiting for the rest of the movie to earn her. courteney cox shows up doing gale weathers in her sleep and she's *still* the best thing in any room, which kind of tells you where the new kids are at. the kills are nasty in the good way, real wince stuff, but i kept catching myself not caring who they happened to. honestly i had a fine enough time in a packed friday crowd that gasped at all the right spots, but walking out i couldn't tell you a single thing the movie was actually trying to say about anything. sidney deserved a better one than this and so did we, but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't grinning when she finally squared up”
