    Quote Quoting Raiders (view post)
    I'm going to avoid posting the cliche Scanners image, but my brain hurts trying to imagine this opinion existing in non-bizarro world. And I say that as a big Fessenden fan, but this film was shit. Wheatley's film is a whole different ballpark... hell it ain't even the same league, or even the same fucking sport. It's got craftsmanship to spare... Fessenden was just being lazy. And after seven years! I guess he was desperate and a random script from Chiller was the best he could get?
    Sorry, I didn't see this until now. I think this is a result of expectations. I expected little from a Chiller telefilm and was surprised by the efficient nasty Lord of the Flies vibe. There's a Roger Corman quality to how the picture matches its cheapo effects and high-concept premise with a Lifeboaty vibe. It's hardly great, but I got a small kick out of it. A Field in England came on the heels of my absolute adoration of Kill List, and while I have mucho respecto for its artistic ambitions, its surreal elements grew tedious for me instead of invigorating. I wouldn't argue that one of the films is more of an "achievement" or more daring than the other, but if you put the two movies in front of me right now, I'd watch Beneath again. I fully expect to be in the minority with this opinion.

    I put Sugar Hill on my to-watch list for 2 Netflix horror marathons and never watched it. Now I'm beginning to think I should have.

    I don't know that it's good, but I know I was never bored. Certainly it's worth watching to see Sugar's uncanny ability to switch between afro and feathered hair from scene to scene.

    It's not The NeverEnding Story though. That sucker is still going.

    And it's way better than Ghostbusters.
