Presumably I saw some character development somewhere, but at nine years' remove I'm afraid I can't justify any of my critical observations!MJ Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14693505217543976719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734990207404232873.post-62462922622535417162017-07-19T03:35:17.474+01:002017-07-19T03:35:17.474+01:00Thanks for the wonderful production info here.

Maybe Lincoln the Demon; explaining his history, he seems almost human. Debbie is thrown, murderously, into the main premise of the film, with nowhere to go from there, characterwise. She gets no amazing demonstrations of unearthly power, just an unseen roll in the demonic hay plus an earful of promises that may well be lies. (Remember, Lincoln starts by saying, "You must do just ONE thing..."} Sadly, we get not even a glimpse of Satan, the true and cruel Prince of Liars, and he is sorely missed. That fits the film as well. It sorely misses the mark. At least it's a cinematically well executed miss.PieCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185380948049104634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734990207404232873.post-83352238324112081552017-04-19T17:59:28.081+01:002017-04-19T17:59:28.081+01:00Thanks for your comment.Thanks for your comment.MJ Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14693505217543976719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734990207404232873.post-76390373770172567932017-04-19T11:29:22.251+01:002017-04-19T11:29:22.251+01:00The end of the movie plot remains confusing, as it...The end of the movie plot remains confusing, as it is unknown what the director is trying to accomplish. The tarot card reading is a bit weak as it is not explained as to why a fortune teller can control another human being.The plot just disintegrates.The_Black_Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282761252039978394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734990207404232873.post-44881828286799610462016-02-27T18:36:23.653+00:002016-02-27T18:36:23.653+00:00I'm not aware of any plans for a UK release, a...I'm not aware of any plans for a UK release, and I haven't heard anything from Harold G recently.
