| As in Joe Dante's Matinee (1993), there's some attempt to investigate the difference between screen horror and the real thing, but the idea isn't thought through. Nor is there enough narrative to sustain a full-length feature. But Karloff gives one of his best performances and first-time director Bogdanovich certainly creates suspense and an exciting finale. Cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs did an excellent, atmospheric job on a low budget; he went on to shoot Easy Rider, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Ghostbusters. |
