This flick is buried deep in my medula as it was the first Bette movie for me. Saw it in the theater back when crappy speakers were the norm (and I DO remember thinking about those crappy speakers; I couldn't have been more then twelve or so...) At any rate, this was THE film that broke a number of taboos (hand sliced off, severed head bouncing down a stair). Of course, this film is pretty silly in retrospect (it really doesn't work; yes, I do have a copy), but at the time, it completely redefined horror for me. What was your filmic defining moment(s)?<br />beephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132456469830416424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-70114911093411724992013-06-12T14:44:43.570-04:002013-06-12T14:44:43.570-04:00I think that this is a sadly overlooked film. Bett...I think that this is a sadly overlooked film. Bette basically ran away from the mirror to the dark end of the room and redefined what it meant to be an actor. Side note: I was a child when this film came out. I was addicted to TV and so the paper was spread out for me in front of it so I could eat my dinner. And then. Then there was that ad. The broken doll's head. That's all. Just a broken doll. I was eating a rare steak. I have never (and I'm talking 50 years on) even attempted to eat a rare stake.
