Saw it when it originally aired on The ABC Tuesday Movie of The Week and thought it was great as a pre-teen, but when I revisited it a few years ago, I was bored even by the pygmy segment.  Just didn't hold up for me....but I do like Karen Black from that era...especially in Five Easy Pieces.

The original Trilogy of Terror is one of my favorite movies, just for the Fetish Doll sequence. An ex-boss of mine gave me a bootleg DVD for Christmas and we watched it at the office. Everyone was in hysterics watching the doll grunt and stab.

When one of my co-workers was leaving for another job, we got her that very Doll (posted above) as a going-away present. We had lunch at a Japanese restaurant and got there ahead of time to ask them if they could bring the doll out on a platter for dessert. You should have seen the look on everyone's faces when three waiters came out of the kitchen holding a silver tray with the Zuni Fetish Doll and rice noodles for garnish.

Yeah Karen Black is pretty cool, as you can see I have met her by my signed figure above. The strange thing about her is that she will only allow herself to be photo from one side... I found that to be strange but my friend said that he has met other scarlets that are the same way. Shrug

Ok... I got one for you guys. Check it out, for everyone who likes the Zuni Fetish Doll.

I present, Attack of the Beast Creatures!

In a lot of ways it's like a really intelligent EC Comics-style story with what may be the most intense use of a fish-eye lens ever! Hope you like it as I'd hate to have steered you wrong.

Well, I watched Seconds this morning. I'm really surprised I haven't heard more about this film before. I loved it. Thoroughly suspenseful and quite depressing, too. Ahead of its time, in 1966. This is one that will haunt me for the next couple of days.

Trust me....I haven't seen it for a few years and I still think of it a lot.  It's a movie with many scenes that are easily triggered by common associations just wandering through life.  It's one of my favorites and really should be more well known....best use of Rock Hudson, eh?

Reverend

Best use of Rock Hudson, indeed! I was going to say that I've never been much of a fan of his. The scene in the end, where he's thrashing in his restraints . . . wow!

wpbooks

I'm with you on that. The wide angle lens really completes that scene!
