I know the shock value and absurdity of the story is part of its appeal, but I think it missed. And in a film like this, a miss is a kiss of death.<BR/><BR/>Now on the other hand, there's "Slither". That's a film that harkens back to the old grindhouse sensibilities and gets it right. Gross, funny, terrifying...it's the perfect blend. Not a great film, but then we wouldn't want it to be.<BR/><BR/>By the way, Mark, my film for tonight is "The Innocents" starring Deborah Kerr. I'm sure you've seen it before...it's a reworking of "Turn of the Screw."<BR/><BR/>Here's to the next few weeks of the best of horror films.Stewart Sternberg (half of L.P.
