OK. Well.
Where do you start?
Let's start (and maybe finish) with - why 1981? I know, I live in the UK, maybe sorority houses are just Oh, so 80s. But my worry is someone saw so many damn plot holes in this that they shoved it into the 80s to try to cover it up.
Its sad, really. There are plenty of struggling writers and potential directors struggling to get films made, and then this happens...
What do I do, now? Go through all the plot holes and farcical inadequacies?
Just for a start - single frontal lobe trauma = death? No
Claw hammer (always clean) = threatening? Not really
Single axe blow? No....
Silly cloudy contact lenses = menacing? Errrr....
Doctors wearing black cowboy shirts and shoelace ties? I mean, what?
And everybody in the film has congenital tunnel vision. They are completely incapable of noticing anyone creeping up on them.
AND the casting director was told to go for faces and ignore bodies.
OK. Anyone would think I didn't like it.
I gave it 2 stars because - OK. I waited 'til the end.
OK, it's a family gig. Lots of Russells. But, I'm sorry. It's adequately acted, even adequately directed, but get someone else to write. Seriously, Justin, (writer, director, producer, editor, cinematographer, sound editor), get a decent script writer on board if you want to find your break-through film.
