You Will All Bow Before Christopher Walken!!!
Right, the Halloween movie marathon continues. I viewed "The Prophecy", "Ringu", "Candyman", and "Phantasm 2". I woulda watched "Nightbreed", but my VHS copy is officially shot in the ass.
"The Prophecy" is a fun one. Christopher Walken as the homicidal angel Gabriel is a hoot on its own, but when you throw in Viggo Mortinsen (Aragorn for alla you LotR fans) as SATAN, then you've got some good old fashioned fun. Besides the fact that evil angels is a nice twist, the movies got some of my most favorite dialouge ever. (Paraphrasing here) Walken: "You should come work for me. You'd like it in Heaven. You can stay up as late as you want, you can eat all the ice cream you want, and you can kill all day long."
"Ringu" the original Japanese movie the American "The Ring" is based on is totally worth it for the last ten minutes. Damn, that ghost chick is CREEPY.
"Candyman" is another of my Clive Barker collection. I think the Candyman is one of the best tragic villians ever invented, and the dialouge's also real kickin'. Plus, there's real thick layer of grime on the film that I like for some reason.
Why do I like "Phantasm 2"? Could it be the evil midgets, psychotic morticianer, or the flying spheres of death? Oh, it's all those things, plus it's the only movie with a Quadruple Barrel Shotgun.
