Huh. Another film with lots of theremin: The Machinist.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It is now officially A Thing. I expect you'll be on Letterman next week.

not so much from the visuals, but from the incredibly effective sound design.
To be fair, the black-eyed ghost faces emerging from darkness in the original and the Kyoko actress' crablike crawl down the stairs in both are pretty high peaks in the movies' creepiness. But I'll agree, that wooden creaking sound resulted in chills even when it was from a living character walking up the stairs .

We rented Dracula: Pages From a Virgin's Diary this weekend. I can't see how this wouldn't be a Buffista favorite (and it probably is). It's, uh, more or less Nosferatu (but not quite) as a ballet with extremes of goofy humor and powerful emotional displays. I'm not much of a fan of ballet or dance, but, y'know, this is a ballet about Dracula. With fleshpots and manly temptation.

The article cites the MIRB as the source -- I don't know what the MIRB is.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Who here has seen Bloody Sunday? I watched it over the weekend. It was the sort of film that made me want to go out and read primary and 2ary nonfiction sources.
Also, possibly, to hit the people involved on the head with aforementioned sources, especially if they are heavy.

Bwah! My thought exactly: "Oh look, they won't need to use zombie makeup on Keith!"
