And I own a copy of <i>Werewolf Shadow</i> from Anchor Bay which I plan to reacquaint myself with in the near future. (The last time was so long ago that I remember very little of it.)<br /><br />As for <i>The House of the Devil</i>, I can't say enough good things about it. It's another that I got from Netflix, but I'm seriously considering purchasing it for my personal collection.<br /><br />And it's been some time since I consulted my copy of <i>Horror 101</i> (which, incidentally, I saw for sale at the Samuel French bookstore on Sunset Blvd. this past weekend). Perhaps I'm overdue for a refresher...Craig J.

Funny thing is, I really wanted to ge...Hey Craig, <br /><br />Funny thing is, I really wanted to get to WOLFMAN, but I was working at the Chicago Auto Show from morning to night every day since the film opened, and then only had three days to get all my affairs in order before leaving town to work the Cleveland Auto Show. Bleah. The day that I was planning to see WOLFMAN (and SHUTTER ISLAND), I had to visit my accountant to get our taxes squared away before I left the premises. The good news is that I haven't heard much in the way of buzz, positive or negative and haven't read any reviews, so my palate should be fairly clean when I get back in town and get to see it. Also want to see THE CRAZIES (missed out on a sneak preview of that as well - DAMN IT).<br /><br />Have you seen either of the Wolfie flicks that I trotted out this past month? It was for Kitley's Krypt's monthly mission - March is going to be anthology films. If you're not already on the mailing list, you should - think it'd be right up your alley. <a href="http://www.kitleyskrypt.com" rel="nofollow"> http://www.kitleyskrypt.com</a><br /><br />I've seen your three genre picks, liked all of them quite a bit and have only seen each of them once. I really liked the book of HANDMAID'S, so the movie couldn't quite measure up. Still, solid enough and I love Natasha Richardson and Victoria Tennant. What did you think of HOUSE OF THE DEVIL?<br /><br />Oh, and I've definitely seen EYES WITHOUT A FACE. Check your copy of H101... ;-]Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803045395906423494.post-32120700920641043862010-03-02T18:13:16.429-08:002010-03-02T18:13:16.429-08:00I like your "Getting Hairy in February" ...I like your "Getting Hairy in February" theme, but I'm surprised that you haven't gotten out to see <i>The Wolfman</i> yet. I've seen it twice now and while I wouldn't say it got any better the second time around, I was more willing to accept its faults for what they were.<br /><br />In addition to <i>The Wolfman</i>, my other genre picks last month included Chan-wook Park's <i>Thirst</i>, <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> and <i>Nightbreed</i> (both of which turned 20 last month), a weak Canadian slasher wannabe called <i>Funeral Home</i>, and <i>The House of the Devil</i>, which I've been wanting to see since last fall.<br /><br />And I started the month of March off with Georges Franju's <i>Eyes Without a Face</i>, which is hauntingly beautiful and grotesquely horrifying in equal measure. I'm sure you've seen it before, but if you haven't it comes highly recommended.Craig J. Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764182532250596880noreply@blogger.com
