magnificent

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2001)

I have watched this film at least 30 times. The plot isn't that unique, the dialog is passable - but, my god!, what a visual and ambient treat. I am not completely sure what it is about this film that makes it so addicting. The love and care that want into the cinematography, the sets, the lighting, the physicality of the actors, is simply astounding. Richard o'brien, Mr.Hand, turns in such a wonderfully sinister performance, that I have long ceased caring about this movies relation to anything other then a waking dream. Well done!!
