The Fan 2002 Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Lauren Bacall brings poise, dignity, and steely defiance to this entry into the 1980s slasher film genre. Her aging silver-screen and Broadway star is so stressed by her musical theater debut and jealous of her ex-husband’s (James Garner) marriage to a lovely young thing that she misses all the stalker warning signs. Before she knows it, one obsessive fan (Michael Biehn) lets his fantasies spill over into psychosis. “We will become lovers very soon, my darling. And I assure you I have all the equipment,” he writes before slicing up her friends. It calls for the elegance of Brian De Palma, which dutiful but dull first-timer Edward Bianchi can’t provide. The pleasures come from sassy gal Friday Maureen Stapleton and Ms. Bacall, whose grace under pressure and cinematic confidence lend dignity to the proceedings. Pino Donnaggio’s ominous score recalls Bernard Hermann’s work with Hitchcock. Marvin Hamlisch and Tim Rice provide the show tunes. —Sean Axmaker

Sacha Gervasi‘s Hitchcock is scheduled to hit movie theaters this upcoming November 23, 2012. Anthony Hopkins will be playing one of the greatest icons in horror. The upcoming movie is a love story about the famous film maker and his wife Alma Reville from the book by Stephen Rebello entitled Alfred Hitchcock…
Lovely Molly will be coming to the UK in a limited theatrical run starting this upcoming June 29, 2012. Lovely Molly looks demented and twisted and therefore like a great movie to watch. I need a good demon monster movie this 2012.
Travis Romero‘s latest flick Treachery is looking very interesting. The upcoming horror movie stars Michael Biehn, Sarah Butler (I Spit On Your Grave), Caitlin Keats (Kill Bill 2), Matthew Ziff (Among Friends), Chris Meyer (Kiss of The Damned), Richard Gunn and Jennifer Blanc-Biehn (Dark Angel).
