The young Andy left for Vietnam, promising to return to his family safe and sound as soon as possible. Unfortunately, a stray bullet breaks his word, and Andy succumbs to the battlefield. However, one night, knocking the Brooks home, it is Andy.
Bob Clark, the first of the turn-adolescent Porcelain series Porkys , anonymity assigned by television and, unfortunately, the recent death in a car accident, was a champion of our favorite genre, capable of putting into Standing in '74 that Black Christmas, immortal father of all slasher, which many film classes was able to give. With the next
Death behind the door, however, Clark sprinkles the film sentimental-tragic atmosphere that you breathe slowly, in a morbid silence and smiles diverted blood that flows only in the final. Everything in Death behind the door, is devoted to a search of almost exasperated component dramatic and painful, and the same climate in which we are immersed not ever give glimmers of light or salvation film. The slow impassive which echoes the plot leaves no escape, enveloping the viewer attentive (and youngsters who want everything right away from here!) In a miasma of pain and despair.
The narrative focuses so long to share in dialogue, deep and rich in detail, exploring characters and psychologies - gradually more and more shattered - the family of Andy, before his mysterious reappearance and its troubling behavior. And Clark is suffocating in its still-image and those poignant close-ups, though often you grant Classic zoom at the speed of light, typically seventies styles that clash not just with the burial context and overwhelming - but it is not that time of defects, quietly negligible.
Here it is, the horror of the past, that has nothing to do with the hasty discharge section of the hormonal horror today. Script, dialogues, characters, social commentary on these points - now almost completely neglected - we focused so long ago, building the atmosphere after film atmosphere, and no roof after roof.
Only in the bitter ending, full of emotion and complaint, the fury of the horror film stands in all its violent and confusing charge, catching off guard by an unexpected acceleration of well-liked but who knows how to hit in the stomach and eyes.
torments and pains are well brought to light by John Marley and Lynn Carlin especially, husband and wife who see the destruction of his marriage in annihilating blows dall'angosciante the character played by Richard Backus. But perhaps the most clear proof that it is up to Jane Daly, a figure only actors, but able to illuminate his happiness with the emotional heaviness of the film.
A praise to the Gargoyle, which exits in a sea of \u200b\u200bpure garbage, can sometimes guess at some centers (including the upcoming the aforementioned Black Christmas ). And a heartfelt thanks to Bob Clark, for a piece of cinematic history that he, too, has helped to create.
