I haven't seen your blog before; you're doing a great job. And what a monumental task you've assigned yourself in bringing Sarris' book up to date. How do you find the energy? I'm impressed!

Thinking the movie was based on a true event made it very real and scary. I was so paranoid on the way home that those crazy folks could be riding around near me and my daughters. I came on line to read about the actual true event Now the only scary part for me is that a movie can make the claim that the actual event happened in 2005 when, though horrific crimes did occur in 2005, this one did not.

Holm Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:06:30 +0000 http://blog.vanvoice.com/2008/06/07/reel-politique-dvd-review-the-furies/#comment-2575 Thank you for writing. I'll bet you are an old DVD Journal reader. Boy, do I miss that site. As far as The Furies goes, it's probably for Criterion completists, fans of psychological westerns of the fifties, fans of noir inflected non noir films, Stanwyck buffs, or collector's of Mann films, of which there is an increasing number on DVD (there is also a good book on Mann out by Basisnger). Or, finally, for students of film history who want to own a good film they may not have seen or heard of. DKH Thank you for writing. I’ll bet you are an old DVD Journal reader.

Holm... one of the few print writers worth reading on the web (and vice versa). And here I was excited I'd found a new voice at the voice. I forgot you wrote for the VV... I was just on here debating whether or not to shell out the $31.99 for the Furies down here in the staties.

I was so scared I cried and I don't think that media like this should be so widely accepted. Between the violence and emotional turmoil I found myself wishing I never had the expierience of watching this movie!! If you haven't seen it... DON'T. It is not worth losing sleep and putting yourself through something so senseless.

In any case, does any adult but a Mongoloid "to go with it and suspend disbelief"? This is a myth of movie-going that needs to be eradicated; it is not the way people watch movies. Viewers think, they compare, they critique as the film is going along, their minds wander, they get sidetracked by the sudden appearance of an attractive star. I prefer to leave my mind on while watching a movie and not hide behind the false conception of "going alone with it and suspending disbelief" as a fallback to explain away a weak, shallow, derivative film.

Why is every one who dislikes this movie whining about "TP", and lack of plot? There is a plot. The plot is lean, mean, and does not cater to those who need everything explained in a movie. It's a MOVIE, you are meant to go with it and suspend disbelief. Very good first effort by Bertino, in my opinion.
