Jun. 15th, 2007 09:19 amA memo to horror film makers...LESS IS MORE!
I saw the black + white Japanese film 'Rubber's Lover' in the small hours...its KIND of like Tetsuo The Iron Man, but not as good.
Trouble is, the actors pitched their tone in a state of near-crazed hysteria so they have no-where left to go...if you begin by screaming at the top of your lungs, by the middle of the film you are just going to be hoarse and boring.
Which is a shame as the idea (laboratory experiment Goes Horribly Wrong) was great, and the low-budget set-up worked well in b+wh.
Panzer and Circuit demonstrate Stalk, Pounce and Retaliate
