Got so swept away with the story of Dario and his family that when Claudio Simonetti popped up I was like: "oh yeah! Goblin!".
It's a bit scary going into something like this that is about somebody who is a big part of your genre heart. I mean, personally, I've ***always loved Dario more than the American equivalents. Craven is close tbf. So I really didn't fancy an easy digestible puff piece. Stuff you've heard a million times before.
This…
Sometimes with the proper "no-holds-barred" approach to horror it can feel a little desperate on the film's part. I'm thinking of The Sadness mostly. Still fun but the overtopiness derailed it a bit.
This is more like it. No sense of safety still. Just pushes the brakes the right amount. For me anyways. Good shit.
One of the best found-footage films, maybe even THE best. Its secrets are fairly simple. Make it scary and move it along at a brisk pace. This film is never allowed to drag and we are invited to join the dots like the characters up to the genuinely chilling finale. Watching it with headphones on last night was a pant-soilingly good experience.
The greatest remake ever.
The best Rick Moranis film there has been.
All other musicals pale into insignificance.
