    Absolutely love u guys and your show is one of my very favorite things to watch here on TH-cam. I don't exactly know where else I should or can go to ask u guys a question, so I just decided to ask it on here for now.
    I was wondering if there was a possibility that you all might do a review of the original film version of 'Rosemary's Baby' sometime in the near future? It's one of my favorite horror films and I really would LOVE to see you guys do a review of it on here and find out what you all think and/or thought about the film, whether good, bad or indifferent.
    Anyway hope you guys are able to find my comments/questions to you on here somehow!

    Classic movie with amazing atmosphere and score. Landlords house reminds me of Hull House from "Night Of The Demons" , with all the passageways and shady history. Those are the 2 best and scariest houses In horror movie history imo. Brandon Quintin Adams was an amazing 90s actor. After this he did The Sandlot another classic (and I liked "Ghost In The Machine").

    Cool film for sure...love that Ving Rhames was in it-he always is awesome in what he does...RIP dear Wes Craven. Is a shame when a gifted light gets snuffed out...never enough time and you just know they have so much more to offer. Hope the little moppet playing the girl wasn't traumatised by the bath scene...as well just butt nasty pervy Daddy and all. Loved the dog--truly talented pup. Makes me wonder though......perhaps some of the children what got out...maybe there's the answer for the zombie apocalypse? Lol Just sayin.....brilliant as always guys--keep em comin

    I rewatched this today having seen it once in probably 1994. In 1994 aged 14 I remember thinking it was quite scary. I liked it today for very different reasons. Its an odd film, but very funny. I'd love to know what Wes Craven was thinking. I like how the dad just decides to wear a gimp suit for no explained reason. The script is funny too. Can't tell if Wes Craven knows the script is occasionally stupid or just doesn't care. There is a lot of 'tell don't show' in the dialogue. Also, was the LA ghetto ever this bad? It looks like a war zone.

    • @henrymorgan4705
      @henrymorgan4705 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's like if home alone was a horror film. Also I'd love to see a sequel which shows what the boys under the stairs got up to once the film ended 😉 I read that the low budget meant there wasn't much studio interference and I can definitely tell. The eccentric touches make the film better for sure.

    Guys, I love your channel and insightful reviews. I really hate it when you call things “retarded”. It’s a lazy move and never the right word for what you’re describing. It’s offensive and takes me out of the enjoyment of the video every time you say it. There are so many other words to use in its place. Please be responsible and stop using that word.
