Specters

Not to say that I don't appreciate what Romero has done here; the themes of honor and chivalry definitely come through strong, but seriously, it all amounts to very little at the cost of a huge two and half hour price! Romero has always had a great talent for taking obscure situations and turning them deadly serious. I was waiting for Knightrider's to kick it into high gear, but it never happened. No shocks, little emotion and dull humor. Knightriders is not just Romero "light", it's calorie-free diet film making.

Seeing as how this was the first Polanski movie I saw where he actually starred in, I was very impressed as to how natural he was. His character is in virtually every scene of the movie and it's one of the better roles I've seen in an while. The movie itself has got to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. I'm talkin' top 5 here. The wit and horror meld perfectly together. I laughed at all the right moments and I cringed at all the right moments. And a lot of cringing there was! The fellow at the video store who recommended this to me said it had him virtually gnawing his own arm off. After watching it I know exactly where he was coming from. The Tenant WILL drive you nuts - in a good way.

Easily the best out of all the Elm Street sequels, and probably the Friday sequels as well (I can't really be certain as it's been a long time since I've seen some of the Fridays). But anyway, I thought the first half of this movie was the most suspenseful, where the second half sacrificed some of it's suspense for balls-out action which was done well. Ronny Yu seems to have a talent for taking mainstream horror films and turning them into well made, scary must-see movies. This one is definitely a must see! By the way...this review sucked...I am very aware of that.
