Made the old man too old and decrepit; the logic would have been to wait a week. Should have portrayed him as a little more robust. Excellent, though none the same.
I didn't think about it, but Robert Eggers seems to be the perfect director to make movies out of the works of Poe, Lovecraft, or maybe M. R. James. There are the marvelous films Lawrence Gordon Clark made for the BBC. And recently Mark Gatiss. But I imagine Eggers could top the historical detail and dark atmosphere especially for ghost stories, in which the ghosts are malicious and there is no happy end.
It’s funny, I just realized something. In the SpongeBob episode where Mr Krabs tries to get rid of SpongeBob’s new boots the scene where he confesses to taking the boots he exclaims, “THERE HERE, UNDER THE FLOORBOARD!” I’m pretty sure that was a reference to the Tell Tale Heart. Man it’s crazy the things you realize and learn as you get older.
The amount of improvement between this and Hansel and Gretel is fantastic. Not that his Hansel and Gretel was bad considering the budget issues the first clearly had. But the first shows more so the promise he has, and this delivers on it. Frankly I don't know why someone didn't give him a shot to make something earlier. By this point he was ready. Yet kept doing costume designs for years before the VVitch
@@FilmSureelist97 No idea. I get the impression it is a self funded student film or one made right out of film school. So you'd think a few thousands bucks max with a whole lot of free man hours to make up the difference.
Probably the worst DW Griffith film ever, & that includes the shorts. Acting is atrocious. Incredible to think he made 'Orphans of the Storm' the same year. Mind you Lillian/Dorothy Gish were in a diffirent acting orbit to the likes of Carol Dempster.
Robert Eggers has really come so far as a filmmaker after watching this. I've always been a fan of his work since "The Witch". But "The Tell-Tale Heart" freaked me out as a kid and still remains my favorite Poe story. Eggers' version is the closest you could get to the original story, especially to his attention to detail in accuracy. plus the puppet old man looked really freaky. Plus the smiling policemen at the end were creepy as hell. Eggers, you genius!
Happiness!? What ill vapor is this? Shall we not think on nothing but our own deaths? For the grave is what shall consume us all. Shall we not live our lives in mourning!? Alas how can one think of gayest feelings when our lives shall all end in woe?!
Comedians are not, in most cases, happy or cheerful people in their daily lives. Art is a way of expressing a side of us that is not necessarily visible, manifested or even conscious.
Only 34 minutes of Sleepaway Camp 4 were shot in 1992 but the company who was making it went bankrupt and then they finished it with other footage in 2002 so its an official sequel. It only had a budget of like $50,000
@@jameslatrobethanks for that info, I was also wondering what was going on here... ages ago someone uploaded just the 1992 scenes, in very poor quality
