Viewing Notes

First I think it’s hilarious that MUBI programmed this. It’s really an oddball choice for them but I’m happy they did as it’s been a long while since I’ve last viewed it. Second, I guess it never dawned on me that this is a comedy! Horror, yes, but totally a comedy as well with some funny bits. Still wouldn’t call this a “great” film but certainly entertaining. Amusing watching Hugh Grant take this material seriously. Love that he fully commits.
