Yeah Corman’s The Masque of the Red Death is also worth a gander.
The ending in Calvary is disturbing, the motivations of the antagonist (IT Crowd’s O’ Dowd) just don’t add up, setting the movie off on a rather lop-sided course. The recipe of character types doesn’t really mix in well with the screenplay, yet it’s watchable given a bent towards the genre.
The twists and convolutions at the end of The Prestige didn’t agree with what had transpired, or no doubt something was missed from this viewpoint. A little heavy on story line elaborations, and something about the rhythm and delivery was off. And not enough Michael Caine!
Offered through the state channel’s website Long Weekend is an odd affair. It’s possible I’m the only one who has seen it within the last ten years. 😛
The channel also provides the screening of Irresistible, the bum RT ratings possibly due to a rather undigestible mix of morality and horror. A bit churned out, but the jumpy music and one or two good startles made it watchable. 🙂
