Clockwork

The film is overall reminiscent of the final thesis from the camera exams at film school, which Raimi spiced up with an insanely cacophonous musical accompaniment and clearly portrayed his directorial trademarks. Cheryl Guttridge has a nicely constructed mouth that stands out especially during the terrifying scream, while Scott Spiegel takes on a position not unlike Michael Myers from Halloween. Given when it was made, it’s hard to determine what the inspiration was. Other than that, it is definitely a good suspense film with the excellent purposeful dropping of the whole plot into a self-parodic conclusion. Bravo Sam! (25/04/2007)
