Quoted from wonkavite Man, I *loved* that film. Slightly upset that they felt it had to be remade... Though admittedly, the FX looks quite visceral and effective.
One of my fav horror films.... (Esp. the line: You've got to be F*uckin' kidding me...) |
Janet,
It's hilarious that you mentioned that line.
David Clennon, who played that part, was at the screening last night!
He was a hoot, looks great, stays in shape.
Clennon said there was a fair amount improv on the set, but not that line.
He went on to say that during that scene, "spiderhead" was in the room.
The actors always had the actual prop in action to react to.
Shockingly 85% of the movie was shot on a sound stage.
And the creature effects shop was a short drive away.
The effects supervisor had some great insights to share.
They created FOUR HEADS just for the head separation on the exam table.
One to separate, one to push away from the body, one to slide down the table...
and a fourth to pull itself across the floor.
No one else was going into such depth to get thirty seconds of film.
They showed a new 35mm print, gorgeous on a giant screen.
BluRay can eat it!
