Hmm...
Its a while since I saw this... anyone else like it?
Thought you might try escaping...so I just took the liberty of removing your horse's brain
I think I saw this film about, oh dear, 15 years ago. I was riveted. I sould probably look at it again, but it was a bit of a stand-out moment for me, so I'm a little reluctant. But anyway, for the sake of discusssion, it takes its place for me alongside _The Servant_ and _The Lord of the Flies_ as understated but incredibly creepy and powerful British films. Love it love it love it.
Saw this on cable a couple of years ago. It's an excellent movie, and they should bring it to DVD. It's definitely got cult potential.
shareI also watched this movie along time ago on late night tv.I'd like to see it again hopefully it will come out on dvd the wizard of oz is on dvd and that was made in the 1930's but until then i would have to wait for it to be on tv again and record it.And who was Zigo? i remeber reading the credits at the end and it had all the boys names in the class then it had (Zigo absent)
shareI love it!
First watched it about five years ago.
David Hemmings was a fine actor. You could cut his character's fear with a knife. Fab performance.
Regarding Zigo ( I would start a thread for this topic but since you mentioned it...)
He's absent from the start. I wonder if he isn't dead as well (killed by the boys).
I would appreciate your (and others) take on that.
Close your eyes,share
And think of someone you physically admire
And let me kiss you
Yes, I'd always assumed that to be the case - a delightfully enigmatic morsel to be left with as the end credits rolled.
Not nearly as showy (or intellectually rigourous) as 'If' et. al. but still pulsing with understated menace. Is there any way of lobbying some of these studios to push for a DVD release? Perhaps they equate popularity solely with theatrical success on the cinema circuits of the day, forgetting that these great films were staples of late-night television throughout the '70s. There's a whole generation for whom this stuff has resonance, and we're not necessarily going to be fobbed off with the latest big-budget pap.
Hopefully economic forces will eventually dictate that the back catalogue barrel be scraped - bringing gems such as this back into the public consciousness!
