To be frank I am about to watch it and so I skimmed over your review since, like me,your reviews are loaded with spoilers. It has been so long since I saw it I want to see it again later then I will finish your review.<BR/><BR/>As I recall this movie was panned by the critics but I liked it. As you said Dan O'Bannon and Hooper are both Americans but the feel is very British, especially the British sci-fi, horror films of the 60's and 70's. I am certain there is a deliberate homeage going on.<BR/><BR/>He made another film about the same time that was panned called Invaders from Mars, that was a remake of an older film, that I liked as well but everyone seemed to hate. Both of these films were very stylized visually and the acting, I believe, intentionally over the top to parody the hammy, dead pan acting styles of older films.<BR/><BR/>I be back to finish your review after the film.<BR/><BR/>BillBill Dan Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841080966908732301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-84808677829352838052007-01-21T10:36:00.000-08:002007-01-21T10:36:00.000-08:00Ian, other than one inescapable shot that was a DV...Ian, other than one inescapable shot that was a DVD cover I've pretty much restrained the image content to gore but no nudity.<br /><br />Mark, let me know what you think (he says now hoping that you do enjoy it!)Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-66407326731834325702007-01-21T08:19:00.000-08:002007-01-21T08:19:00.000-08:00I imagine I'll end up buying it.

But now I think I see the connection.
