Repulsion had some great cinematography
Yeah it does.
I'm going to bump it up from A- to an A I've been thinking about it all day a sure sign of greatness.
Been a long time since I've checked it out, but it is an excellent picture from what I remembered. Probably my 3rd favorite Polanski film (both that and Chinatown need refreshed watches).
I don't know if you can absorb all of that with one viewing especially when I had to deal with commercial timeouts

Checking out 1957's The Cat Girl. Plot sounds like it could've had influence on 1982's Cat People (in addition to the original movie of the same name)

Also I watched it on Frightpix and after half the commercials the film would start from the beginning and I would have to find the spot where I left off :x

I missed the end in the theater because the damn previews wouldn't stop, and the theater kept advertising itself for some reason (as though we weren't already freaking there) and my niece had to get to work.
I know you probably already watched the film, but I think you should watch the alternate ending.

Why didn't they go with this ending? It was better.

About halfway through Boo! and it's shaping up to be the most boring new watch.

Blame the producers or test screening audiences. They tend to mess with everything.

I can only imagine how frustrating that must be for writers and directors. It should be their movie.

Screaming bear was very cool. Ripping the jaw off someone was especially epic.

A few bits feel unsettling in a way, but definitely not my favorite film of this years challenge.
