Don Coscarelli, USA, 20022.5 out of 4 stars
It’s really a bad sign when you see a 90 minute film and you feel like it should have been at least 30 minutes shorter! It makes you realize that a real disservice has been done to the medium of film with the ghettoization of shorts. I’m no better, as when I look up a festival listings, I have no interest in shorts either! While Brokeback Mountain suffered from trying to stretch out a short story with new material, I get the feeling this film tried to be too faithful to what was there, and there just wasn’t enough for a feature. Bruce Campbell’s voice-over narration is largely inane, and you only get into some good bad-assedness near the very end.
