I dunno. It depends on how well the whole thing is done. It sounds
pretty goofy on paper, and the comic book might well be a good read, but
Criswell predicts a cluster f**k if this thing actually makes it to
film. I hope I'm wrong. However, I read "Pride and Prejudice and
Zombies" last year, the Jane Austen send-up with "ultra-violent zombie
mayhem" after reading rave reviews, and...I just didn't get it at all.
Maybe the author's new book, "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" will be
better.
Speaking of one-joke films...anybody else on this list seen "The Human
Centipede", the new Dutch horror film that just came out? I took a sick
day on Monday and discovered that the IFC channel has an HD On-Demand
service that shows independent films currently in theaters. I had heard
about this film, and decided to watch it. Suffice to say I didn't feel
any better after viewing this well-done but incredibly sick movie.
Knowing that the concept behind the film is 100% medically feasible
didn't make me feel any better either. (Cool one sheet, though. Hey,
how's THAT for sliding into home on-topic, guys!?!)
