Viewing Notes

RIP Joel Schumacher

I’ve never seen this so this seems appropriate given the passing of Joel Schumacher this morning. Sad he couldn’t make to Cinepocalypse last year but now it’s understandable why. Screenplay was written by Larry Cohen so it’s a double whammy of Cinepocalypse greats who have left us.

Overall I enjoyed this. There’s some goofiness to it that gives it some charm as well. You kinda have to accept certain inaccuracies and let it just ride out. A tad surprised they didn’t sequelize the story for another guy stuck in a place but maybe it would’ve been too much the same. Colin Farrell is good here and really seems to be giving a damn. Fun to see baby face Ben Foster.
