This was recommended, and - while it had it's moments - overall it's a "NOPE"

Too much exposition. I don't need to know why or have a complete psychological profile to understand the psycho's motives. 

I don't think movies always need motivations, back stories, especially horror films, sometimes I just want a Kook with knife...

Rosemary's Baby

How have I not seen this?

Anyways, I rather enjoyed it. The acting, a bit wooden, but the sets (rather, the period and location) I loved. The characters the actors rather woodenly (for the most part - Hutch was good) portrayed - were interesting, the apartment, furniture, people, mood, décor reflect my childhood. 

Which - all things told - was a far, far better time to be alive. A horror movie built upon the pleasant fictions or memories of my youth.

I'll take it any day to grim reality of the present.

Rejected

Pretty sure I saw this a long time ago at an animation festival. Still fucking hilarious. And try and imagine the client's faces when he delivers...

Well done, but of no interest whatsoever.
