sgdfdhmf - 8 March 2024 Why no cellphones ? Maybe I missed the element of what year this was supposed to be but a cell phone would have solved all her problems but she did not have one ? Nor did he, the boyfriend, or anyone else. I missed the whole essence of the movie.
We did have a couple of favorite parts as in the dialog between her and her "MA" which I recorded on my cell phone as it was the lamest dialog I have heard in any movie . I can listen to it whenever I feel the need to be puzzled. The swinging telephone after she dropped it while attempting to call someone and while slamming it down it missed the mark and the camera focused in on it swinging back and forth WoW was that ever Hitchcokian.
In my opinion this was a real difficult movie to understand from all angles as in why, what was the point ?
lee_eisenberg - 14 December 2022 about what you'd expect Mickey Keating's "Offseason" is pretty much what I expected. It's about the daughter of a late actress summoned to her mom's hometown, only to discover that all is not what it seems in this supposedly nice locale. It's got the occasional jump scares and stuff. Jocelin Donahue, Joe Swanberg and Melora Walters do a respectable job in what's mostly a routine horror flick. No particularly intense scenes or anything, just the slow realization that something evil is afoot (a bit of an Ira Levin vibe in that sense). Maybe worth seeing once.
Another movie in which I recently saw Larry Fessenden is the Barbara Crampton flick "Jakob's Wife", about a clergyman's wife who starts becoming a vampire.
