Re: Seen any crappy movies?
Deep Red, a Dario Argento movie with David Hemmings. I had a huge crush on David Hemmings (in his prime) when I was in high school, so his bum in white pants is the biggest plus for me in this film. The minuses far outweigh it. On a personal note, the fact that David Hemmings tears a picture out a library book makes him a worse criminal that the murderer he is trying to find. That's just a librarian thing, though.
The biggest problem is that I have never yelled at so many characters so often that they are stupid to:
Walk into the creepy, decrepit mansion alone at night
Lock the door when you know the weirdo is already inside! (Still can't believe that one)
Walk toward the strange noise
Let down your guard when you know darn well there's a killer after you
Etc.
Also, the revealed killer is way too small to have very physically murdered the much larger people that were killed. Way too small.
