However, I am curious why you keep referring to a certain male character as Morgana's <i>husband</i> when she distinctly refers to him as Daddy several times throughout the movie.Tonio Krugerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010189957651586318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-14109689666542154662012-02-24T21:23:54.954-08:002012-02-24T21:23:54.954-08:00I saw this movie in my hometown theater when I was...I saw this movie in my hometown theater when I was nine with my best friend. We wanted it to be scary and we did our best to be frightened. The scene with the knitting needles through the woman's neck made us jump a little. I've watched this film for the second time recently. I can't believe it scared us at all. Tom Poston does redeem it somewhat, as Mr. McEwan commented.DZONDZONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605096994600058107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-8246751514474303072012-02-10T15:22:13.221-08:002012-02-10T15:22:13.221-08:00I saw this a couple years ago, and it really stink...I saw this a couple years ago, and it really stinks up the place. (And as your screen-caps show, that "Old Dark House" isn't very dark.) Mind you, I <i><b>LOVE</b></i> James Whale's hilarious original. (It was basically a comedy also, but a dark, subtle one, not this sledgehammer of movie.) I also love Tom Poston. In fact, when I met him (at a taping of an episode of <i>Murphy Brown</i> when he was the guest star), I gushed so much fulsome praise at him for his large body of great comedy work (Any show is improved by having him in it. This movie goes from "Utterly Unwatchable" to merely "Inhuman Torture" solely because he's in it) that he said to me: "Stop. You're going to turn my pretty head."<br /><br /><i>[My word Verification letters for this posting are "sucfast" which is what this movie did: it sucked-fast!]</i>Douglas McEwannoreply@blogger.com
