The midnight canon. Enter knowing.
almost bloodless, and relentless
the 1977 original — colour, score, and no logic whatsoever
a cabin, no money, relentless camerawork
Lovecraft as splatter comedy, and Combs' career role
the remake-as-sequel that invented splatstick
the trilogy turns into a comedy
Haneke indicting you for watching
starts as a gentle romance; do not read further about it
structurally strange and genuinely frightening
launched a decade of horror economics
a box-office catastrophe; a great night out
extreme, and completely serious about it
an F CinemaScore; a fully intentional film
absurd on paper, hypnotic in practice
walkouts and ambulance calls; a real phenomenon
