Risselada:
I was still terrified after I figured out that he was the one they were going to sacrifice. I didn't know he would get burned alive though. And the figure they put him in was just real creepy.
It aggrivates me for the same reasons you say it "gets under your skin". What do you mean exactly when you say it get under your skin? Is that a pleasant feeling or not?
Maybe it's hard for me to believe that a group of people who had never sacrificed another human being before (even if they had sacrified animals) would be so willing to do it. And take so much pleasure in doing it! And at the same time it's not that hard for me to believe, and the fact that I can almost believe it makes me feel even more sick.
Oh, I totally misunderstood you Rizzo! I thought you were aggravated or frustrated by the movie's style or something. Instead it sounds like we had really similar reactions.
By "getting under my skin" I meant that I found it demented and creepy, but also somewhat believable. All the elements work together to make it a really memorable film for me.
I've heard Rosemary's Baby creates a similar feel in the viewer, so I have to see that. Does Wicker Man remind you guys of anything else?
Okay, possibly bad news: they're remaking Rosemary's Baby. I read so many disappointed reviews of the Nic Cage Wicker Man that I decided to skip it.
