A great film, works as a conventional thriller, but also has a great deal to say. Wonderful performances by the leads; the big mystery is why Roeg never did anything else that works like this. Don't expect the same old thing like the dim horror fans who dissed the classic. It's a gem no quite like anything else. The DVD looks great, too bad you don't get commentaries. TEN OUT OF TEN. With the great "McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Cristie shows herself as more than just the "hip" actress of the time, but one of the great stars ever.
I like "Son Of Kong", but what's interesting about it is that it is basicly a comedy that lightly teases the first film. "King Kong" is so sinsere and heartfelt it is surprising to see the same people joking around with the concept. Still, they don't insult the audience for loving the first film and it works. See it if you get the chance. Well, that's all I had to say. But they tell me I must write ten lines. So. I'll go a little. Longer.
