Twisted Fear (1994)

low budget but creepy ending

[6/10 · 16 May 2004]

I got a copy of this flick off ebay for cheap. Finally watched it tonight.

A pretty low budget flick, and I was interested to see that it was filmed here in Houston. The hospital scenes are actually filmed at Twelve Oaks Hospital here in Houston. Interesting for me to try to recognize some of the filmed locations.

The only semi-well known actor in this flick is Claude Atkins in a small role. Bad acting by some, but the lead actress was an attractive redhead. But, for some reason I liked this "thriller" film. Maybe it's the "so bad it's good" thing.

Worth watching if you're from Houston..

Outlaw Blues (1977)

as a Texan, I liked it...

This is definitely a drive-in flick, and I saw it at the drive-in here in Houston in the late 70's.

I've been listening to the soundtrack of "The Harder They Come" and it occurred to me that there are similarities in this drive-flick and the reggae cult classic. The heroes are on the run, and are recording artists (talented in Jimmy Cliff's case, supposedly "talented" in Fonda's case).

Well, I had my say.
