Touché.
I don't see how Giganotosaurus has anything to do with this topic.
Hammer decided to simplify the geography in which travel time is condensed to something akin to a European theme park rather than reality. This is more glaring in their first Dracula flick which came out the year after this one: The story starts outside of Klausenburg, the capital of Transylvania in Central Romania at the time, with Drac's castle nearby, then switches to Karlstadt, in South-Central Germany, which is roughly 750 miles from Klausenburg in reality, yet a mere carriage drive away in this film, perhaps 20 miles.
Only if we can prevent the Demonic-rats' brazen voting fraud on several levels (Dominion switcheroos, dead people, illegal votes, repeats, fraudulent mail-ins, throwing away Trump votes, etc.).
While you're a faithful member of the OBiden cult, who (presumably) thinks the installed regime is doing such a great job (lol). Tell me, is it possible for Biden to attract more than 11 people to one of his rallies, I mean, people who aren't paid?
Nice try, but totally <b>false</b>. The population of American Indians (aka First Americans) in what is now US & Canada was very sparse, estimated anywhere from merely 900,000 to 12.2 million, which means that – at most – 12 million AmerIndians (that’s the population of PA in the modern day) inhabited the colossal region from the Rio Grande to Barrow, Alaska, and likely way less. The greatest AmerIndian populations, by far, where in what is now Mexico (Aztec), Central America (Maya) and the Andes (Inca).
<blockquote>The layers and moodiness of these characters</blockquote>
That's one of the key things I appreciate: The flick's thick with <i>mood</i>.
After seeing the movie and being blown away, I wanted to read the graphic novel but, alas, I gave away my gift copy. I'll get ahold of a copy sooner or later, no worries. I'll check at the library the next time I'm there.
The TOXICITY sessions set the bar too high.
The link above is not the right song. It's "Fire and Brimstone (Hold Your Breath)" by Chris Cano, sang by Jaymie Valentine, which you can hear here: <url>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76oHagN48oQ</url>
Actually it effectively reveals the heart of the film (which is what a movie poster is supposed to do) -- the soul of a psycho-killer inhabits a graveyard and preys upon passersby on a certain date every year; Jerry (Katrina Bowden) happens to be one of his victims amongst a group of seven. Obviously producers were using Katrina to 'sell' the movie so her face is prominent.
1. McBride didn't mean "demons" literally since he was talking about the disembodied souls of Van Hausen (the serial killer) and Warden Wilkes. These are human beings, not angels or evil spirits, which is proven by their appearance when they're disembodied. McBride honored Wilkes as his superior at the asylum, but Wilkes was actually the lesser of two evils and was hellbent on destroying Van Hausen for murdering him in the electric chair room (and myriad other reasons, I'm sure).
The movie used blue eyes to represent a person possessed by Wilkes simply to distinguish that individual from someone possessed by Van Hausen. It didn't automatically make Wilkes angelic.
As for why Wilkes was concerned about Kyle's fatal wound, he wasn't wholly evil, like Van Hausen, and was concerned about the slayer's continuing victims. But that didn't make him wholly good.
2. When McBride blew up after being simultaneously possessed by Van Hausen and Wilkes, that's when Van Hausen possessed Johnny in the SUV (there's a quick flashback at the end revealing this). Obviously Wilkes failed in his attempt to defeat Van Hausen and so the psycho-killer was free to continue possessing people nearby, which he did with Johnny.
Here's the full movie on Youtube for those interested: <url>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3IVKFHwR8o</url>
Yeah, I noticed that horrible average-rating before posting. I can understand it because the flick starts out so badly (I quit watching after a half hour on my first attempt). But, like I said, it becomes entertaining in a bad-on-purpose way, if you can roll with its craziness.
Except that the cook spit in the cheeseburger.
They both declared their love for each other, but she set him free to make the right decision at the train station. Shortly later, he decided to leave the Catholic priesthood. So it's assumed he'd get settled and pursue a committed relationship with her.
Whether or not she would agree to legal marriage is uncertain, but their relationship would at least be common law marriage. It's very possible that she'd agree to the former since she was in her mid-30s (and he was about 40) and they had both found their proverbial one true love. Artistic types are typically free spirits, but they're also known for their idealism.
He's not referring to the guy at the beginning, Amil, aka Stuart Chase (David Strathairn), but rather Maureen's straying husband, Dan Phelan (Peter Crombie). This is the guy the Catholic priest (Tommy Lee Jones) visited in the hospital and he, Dan, confessed his struggles & guilt to him. Yes, it appears, he was trying to commit suicide. The guy at the beginning, on the other hand, was stabbed by an unknown assailant (solved by the end).
I read a synopsis of the film after viewing so it appears she did commit suicide, but I agree that it was too ambiguous as depicted in the movie because, as you say, it wasn't established that she was desperate enough to take such an extreme course of action.
It's good for when you want something fun from the 80s and not too deep (but not shallow either).
The video was for the song "Feather" (<url>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLbn61Z4LDI</url>) and the Catholic minister of the Brooklyn facility has been removed (<url>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZeDynBtGyo</url>).
It's currently featured on streaming by yet another title: "Beyond the Living Dead."
