My Eyes Hurt When I Go Outside, It's Too Bright!!! (or, My Halloween Horrorfest 2018) Movie #17
So back in the day I was into tape trading (look it up!), mostly metal demos and the like, but every once in a while I'd get a horror VHS from one of my friends. One particular tape, I think he'd sent me Don't Look In The Basement but I can't be sure, featured a bunch of trailers for other horror movies and…
This here is like a "greatest hits" album of all the animal death scenes from earlier Italian Cannibal flix. I mean I recognized almost every single one of them from other movies. And there are a lot of animal deaths. So be warned. I think there's actually more animals being killed than people being munched by cannibals which seems very wrong. It's a cannibal movie with not enough cannibals. But it does have a Jonestown-esque (or just straight up Jonestown)…
It expands on the wonderful story of The Little Prince, without losing the magic of it. And the music and animation are gorgeous. The stop-mation parts telling the Little Prince story are the standout, but even the cg animation is charming. Especially the fox.
Next time I'm watching the French language version, though the English cast were phenomenal.
I absolutely LOVED this.
I remember seeing this in theatres when I was around 9 years old. I loved it...and was a little terrified of certain moments. It mostly holds up but the ending was a little lesser than I remembered. Sword fight and a magic stone? I don't totally feel like that stuff belongs with the rest of this movie. But jeez, they made this movie for kids??
