^ As a spoof of 70s blaxploitation cinema, it has it all down to a T, to the point that it's hard to believe that this was actually made only a couple of years ago. One of the funniest films I've seen in years.

Watching that movie made me laugh so hard i started crying. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

the first time I watched it. I was laughing but I couldn't make it through the whole thing. I was bored to tears. I guess i'm just not a fan of the blaxploitation even in it's spoof form

The only movie where I can remember laughing harder is My Bloody Valentine 3D. Best worst movie ever.

oh yes I loved that. I didn't get a chance to see it in 3-D though but it was hilarious

Dario Argento's first outing as an auteur in this giallo (whodunnit slasher). The cinematography's excellent, the plot has more than a few nods to Hitch****, the editing top-notch, and the suspense? Hitch****ian, I would say, dear old chap. The titular character plays a very small, if decisive role, in the movie, and I thought the killer would be some sort of character in an Opera who dresses like the title. Argento would never scale these heights again, and it's great what some semblance of restraint can do for him. As with the below, no Italian dialogue. Boo hoo! 7.5/10

After all the hype, I decided to check it out myself. And yeah, it deserves the hype it got. Atmospheric and creepy, and quite possibly the most realistic interpretation of vampires as seen through a kid's eyes as it could get. And no, I'm not checking out the American remake, Let Me In. I found the mutilated organ flash scene creepily erotic. As subtle as it gets. My only problem? Its dialogue is dubbed in English and my copy doesn't have the original Swedish voices. This generation's Vampyr or Martin, easily. 8/10

I'm doing a review of the directing for one of my classes. Decent movie.

much much better than like-minded spoofs e.g. I'm Gonna Get You, Sucka

"yet another good friend lost to KUNG-FU TREACHERY. WHY? WHY?"

So I gave up on my Groundhog Day marathon. This has been cracking me up thus far.
