Quickly, they both fall in love. I guess I left out the part about her husband recently dying. Before passing on, our star crossed lovers promise to love each other forever. Well, you would think that would be the end of the film, but it is only the beginning. Nuns, boy scouts, motor riding returners, and even the mayor.
Death makes an appearance in two excellent scenes.
Soavi's vision is spectacular if not overwhelming at time. He tries to say a lot in the film and succeeds on most levels. I really dug the surrealism of the ending. One of the most original horror films of the 90's. This comic sells well over a 1 million copies a month.
