The only movie by George A. Romero that he wrote
and directed that isn't part of the Living Dead franchise. Though there's some iffy acting, the premise is good and it features an appearance and tracks by The Misfits. Cool! This is not a straight up slasher flick, it's more of psychological horror. Only released here in the States on video, it's too bad it's a little hard to come by. It deserves a better place in film history.
Actually there are quite a few movies written and directed by Romero that aren't part of his zombie franchise: "Martin", "The Crazies", "Season of the Witch", and "Knightriders" to name a few. Happy viewing!
ReplyDeleteCrap! You're right. I had a momentary lapse of memory. All of those movies were written and directed by Romero. Don't know where I came up with that factoid.
ReplyDeleteBut more importantly, have you seen Bruiser?
ReplyDeleteAha! I knew there was something unique about Bruiser...it was shot in Canada. If I recall correctly, all of his non-zombie flicks were shot in Pennsylvania.
