  Safety Last! 1923

  Race with the Devil 1975

  ★★★ Watched 29 Oct 2024

  I had low expectations, but this is a fun one. Fairly light on the horror, but they do a good job setting up the paranoia and later chase scenes. The chase scenes are great, lots of vehicular carnage. The acting from the male leads is great, of course, but I wish the female leads had more to do. It seemed like they were going to be interesting in the beginning, but the characters devolved into the useless and screaming trope. Love the shock ending, though.

  I get that I'm in the minority here, but I love this movie. Gabriel Byrne has to be in my top 5 cinematic Devil depictions. He's the perfect blend of campy sexy chaos (although I could do with more of the creepy intensity, but, this movie is more horror-light). And, I mean, the Governator is the Governator. Of course, Robin Tunney is almost too genuine as the not entirely helpless damsel in distress.
  I don't know, it's just the perfect…

  Me: I'll just put on something I've seen a million times while I work.

  Me, 45 min later: OMG I never noticed that seam in the carpet before!
