Last Film You Saw

It was something about a door. Had door in the name too. I initially thought, might be good. I have decided henceforth, that my initial thought is to be entombed in a vault buried deep within my brain. It was deliriously awful. It had a plot you lost, in every sense. It never held my attention, due the vacuous dialogue and acting straight out of Segal movie. Yes, it was that bad.

Anyway, this fucking door takes you wherever you want to go. By the time they are dooring it about, I completely left it for a meander through my imagination and when I returned, it had thankfully concluded.

And that’s all I have to say about that.

The portable door. Looks Harry potteresque.
The porta loo more like.

I rewatched The Omen (1976) then watched the extras. It is a decent film, full of great moments, rather than a great film. You've got Oscar winners/nominees in Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, allied with a big cast of largely UK actors.

The three who stand out are Billie Whitelaw as the unhinged satanic nanny, David Warner as the doomed photographer and dear old Patrick Troughton as the priest with wind issues!

Whitelaw is Uber creepy just utterly malevolent and never knows when she's down! Warner's decapitation is legendary and a source of many anecdotes from the genre legend! Troughton looks wild, feral with red rimmed eyes, unshaved and compelling when trying to convince Peck his boy's satan on earth.

Well for sticking a spire and skewering the Second Doctor I say fuck you satan, down with that sort of thing!

Anyway Richard Donner the director originally wanted all events to be coincidence and open to interpretation as to whether they were the work of diabolical forces. The studio overruled him and said it should clearly be the work of Damien.

A great anecdote is when casting Damien, Donner would say to the kids to attack him, really go for it, as in the scene taking Damien to church.

Anyway young Harvey Stephens received this direction and proceeded to punch Donner in the nuts and wouldn't stop! Donner said pick the kid up, dye his hair, that is Damien!! Pmsl!!!!!!! Stephens went on to have a career in the City as a broker, whenever something inexplicable happened the other twats in the office would hum the Omen music!

The music is disturbing and shows typical Jerry Goldsmith invention, won his only Oscar for it.

Think Omens II and III had their moments and had very charasmatic Damiens but the original is a bit special.

I suspect if il diabolus infernum is walking the earth, he's probably a rag!

No idea how, but I ended up watching this film, as a kid, on my own. I remember being babysat and she fucked off out of the room while I sat and watched this terrifying film. It's the only time I have seen it.

Watch the 3 originals recently, bit dated now but still better than 99% of the so called horrors out now. Cracking stories and some of the scenes are still shocking.
The remake is quite good as well.
