I need to check out Death Trap. It sounds awesome. If you want another very unique old-timey work of science fiction, check out Edison's Conquest of Mars. An unauthorized sequel to War of the Worlds from 1898 where Thomas Edison invents death rays and spaceships to fly to Mars and get revenge for their invasion of Earth.
Imagine Ed Wood being given a 1978 US$ 26,000,000 budget and a cast & crew full of Oscar winners/nominees. That's 'The Swarm'. An astonishingly inept film. I watched the 155 minute cut (probably an edit from a TV showing). I saw the 'Deathtrap' play in London in the early 1980's. I'd forgotten that there is a lot of humour in the play/film, as it operates on two levels. 'Every Which Way But Lose' was Eastwood's most successful movie at the box office by that time.
I think Signs is Shyamalan's best movie. Yeah, the twist/reveal at the end is a little hokey, but I'm okay with it. It's basically the same ending as The Day of the Triffids.
As always a great talk of you. I think I saw Food of the Gods in the (The worst movies of all time) show "schlefaz" and thought "Wow the characters are boring and very dumb." but it was still entertaining because of how bad it all is. I think there was this couple in the Camper who told the main group they can't go with them to the house because the giant animals could attack the pregnant wife. Later the rats attack the Camper and the guy goes outside to watch them and then calls his wife to watch them and then they decide to run the house anyway and they easily make it there without getting attacked. Some of these movies also sound interesting no matter if good or bad.
Is the twist with Signs the fact that he wrote a movie about aliens trying to invade a planet that is mostly water when water is what kills them? That movie sucked. The premise sucked. It was all suck. No one should watch it. I'm doing the world of favor by giving the twist away. No spoiler warnings. Just spoilers. Don't watch the movie.
Dude.... F your beeps. F your not wanting to spoil old crappy movie morals. Next time just say the crap. People that would be pissy about that are people that don't matter.
To put it another way, I don't think their target audience cares much about spoilers. Even if some of these movies are kind of obscure, lots of people have already seen them judging from the comment section.
