Ant-19

Tarantino should be embarrassed to be associated with this film. It is rubbish in every sense. The acting is dire, the picture quality variable. I suppose it is so "over the top bad" that it may deserve a slot on Channel 5 late at night, but don't waste your money at the cinema.

During the opening credits, I almost walked out. An "Arthurian" sword against a backdrop of stars...oh, dear. Thankfully it then started to improve somewhat, although there were several points at which the audience's credibility was stretched too far: a dead body struck by a mysterious electrical force and vanishing in front of the police - and no one made a comment! Well I guess that's normal in Chicago.

Overall, this film reminded me so much of Highlander, that I think it has been misnamed. Highlander 5.

An excellent and quite original film. Nothing too gruesome happens, but the suspense is kept up very well. Strange things start happening to a tabloid journalist, including predictions of death, and airplane parts appearing. A particular highlight was the brilliant portrayal of madness, both in the hospital and the friends.

Only one point let it down (badly), when the all-knowing, black cafe owner explains the strange happenings: "...it's like the Bermuda Triangle or Stonehenge..." !!???!!! Maybe you could get away with a line like that in the 1970's, but not now, please ...
