Viewing Notes

Last movie at the Music Box of Horrors 2014 and easily the crown jewel in the line-up. So, so happy to see this on the big screen again. Been high on my list. For a 2hr film it’s crazy how well it moves. Never once did I think it was too long or slow. Which is saying a lot after viewing several movies in a row during a movie marathon in a theater. Could be that the film is so engrossing for me that nothing feels superfluous. Remains one of my favorite movies of all time.
