As an avid Anthony Stewart Head fan, I found out about this movie through his website and couldn't wait to see it. I bought the soundtrack and was able to see the film Monday night... WOW!!! This movie is truely unique and one of the best rock operas I've ever seen. One of the other reviews here mistakenly calls it a "musical", it isn't, it truely is an opera where you have very little in the way of spoken dialog. The music is driving, intense, yet tender at times, and very memorable. The same can be said of this movie. Granted, this is a horror movie as well and therefore may not be for the sqeamish or faint of heart. The only thing I could wish for this movie would be to see the original 2+ hour long version, so that more of the details of the story could be seen. Can't wait for the director's cut comes to dvd. :-) |
