The revamped Review It Yourself continues. The podcast with the sigh. Film reviews for the eternally unimpressed.
Will Sean and Sarah remain unimpressed by this week's film, Dracula (1958)?
Film summary:
"There's no Whitby, there's no ship, there's no Demeter, there's no bats, there's no wolves, there's only one out of the three brides, and they whittled it down and took out a lot of the supernatural and in a way distilled it to this really, really great film and great simple story through necessity of we don't have the money for it".
Discussion Points:
-Sarah brings in her extensive knowledge of the depiction of vampires.
-Painkillers appear to make Sean even more rambly and scatter-gun in his approach, enjoy!
-Sean brings Blu-Ray documentary trivia about the film's production.
-The Hammer Horror formula and the introduction of more salacious elements.
-The performances of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Melissa Stribling, Carol Marsh, John Van Eyssen and Michael Gough.
-The difficulty in adapting Bram Stoker's novel.
-Ingenuity from necessity.
-The lack of horror clichés.
-Sean brings Natasha Kaplinsky trivia (She's the President not the Vice President*).
Raised Questions:
-Did streamlining the novel make the film better?
-Should studios today make only one film at a time?
-Are budget constraints sometimes a good thing?
-Can you fake screen presence?
-Did you spot the redressing of the same set?
-Are horror films more frightening when things are more plausible?
-Who will be his Bride to-night?
-Why are Technicolor films the most beautiful looking films ever made?
-Did Gary Oldman's Dracula (1992) accidentally leave his rollers in?
-Will anyone be watching Jordan Peele's Nope in 70 years?
