Session 9 Review

Scarecrow Video Psycho Challenge #2. Somebody's Gotta Do It

This really grabs you with its atmosphere and superb sound design (except for those out of place jumpy sound effects) and then it all rips away revealing a different movie that banks on a character's mental illness as the shocking reveal. For its suspense and performances in the third act, HIGH TENSION does better than this.

But the emphasis and dependence on psychological illness as a means of horror without message behind it immediately kills the point of the movie, making nothing seen up until the end point worthwhile or meaningful.

David Caruso is pretty funny in this though.
