Sounds right to me. She never dreamed of what she would find and she wanted to let Mitch sleep.
It is called shock and panic. Try putting yourself in their place.
This and the novel is what the movie is based on. But there was no explanation given in the movie as to why the attacks occurred. It is left up to each viewer as to the reason.
But then you ignore what the writers were trying to do: give the viewers a reason to sympathize with Norman. Norman was not a failure. A failure is someone who doesn't try to break free from what is causing their mental illness. Norman honestly tried to do this.
I totally agree with you. To lump it into the slasher category ignores the inventive way the murders were handled. This movie had class and depended on suspense, not on blood and gore.
Yes, I enjoyed this movie very much for the human drama/stories and the action was great too. I also enjoyed the follow up to this called Final Run. I wish Urich had done more movies with this character as he was very interesting.
I do understand criticisms from people who feel the technical things should have been done right and that is true, but I'm not going to let that bother me when the human story and characters are interesting and I can feel the characters. That is why I also like the 2009 mini-series, Impact which was criticized for its scientific inaccuracies, but the human stories were good and heartwarming in some parts.
Nice trailer
I believe that there was a time jump between Susie being at the hospital, coming home and again when we see Susie outside playing with the poodle. On being brought home, the dog is noticeably bigger.
Thank you so much for the links and information. Update: Just finished watching. While I did like that he could not fly and thought it neat for him to develop rocket boosters(I think that is what they are called) and he did not shapeshift, I wish the writers had taken him farther away from the myth and folklore such as making him be alive, if only barely. But I think such portrayals were made in later films. So sad that he had mistaken her to be someone he once loved and never had forgotten.
Yes! Loved him on that show. I wish Belinda Montgomery would have stayed and really fought for better scripts, even involving the fans. But some of the episodes were very good and I enjoy watching to reruns.
I'm glad someone asked the question on here. I was luckily out of the room when things began to happen and turned away from most of it when I came into the room. If only the captain had not been such a jerk and listened to the co-captain. You are right. Poor pup, but also poor people who otherwise could have lived.
Simple answer: According to Christopher Lee himself, he never played his version of the infamous Count. No one ever really got a script that was really playing the Count accurately. According to Lee, the Jess Franco movie was accurate insofar as Lee played Dracula as an old man growing young as he feeds on blood.
Christopher Lee was so against the films where he played Dracula that I honestly think that if fans truly honor him and his acting they will no longer view any of the movies where he played the infamous Count. I know I'm never going to view them again.
The only person I'd say plays the count well was Jack Palance in 1974's Dan Curtis Dracula. As in Lee's first portrayal of the Count, this version rightly leaves out the shapeshifting that is in the novel.
Yes, but I think that was done under the mistaken notion that viewers would not view him as sympathetic if they put more of the evil things he did in the novel. If you get sympathetic story right, and balance it out with showing the evil he has done as is in the novel, the audience will feel the sympathy it needs to feel.
I don't think it was that she had to be tied down. According to Wikipedia, she hated Dracula's enemies and so committed suicide by falling off the battlements of the castle when she learned they would attack the next morning. I think in this movie they changed her death to murder, not suicide as if the enemy got there and killed her. Here is the Wikipedia link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A2ul_Doamnei
And actually, the Bram Stoker novel makes a vague reference to the fact that Dracula had someone he loved once in life. In one section, the coffins of the "brides" are arranged from highest to lowest order with Dracula's being located nearby on the floor. I feel this indicates that the highest coffin held the woman who reminded him of his lost love. Also, Stoker's wife said the short story, Dracula's Guest was actually to be the first chapter of the novel. It also hints at the vampiress killed in the story as another woman Dracula felt reminded him of his long dead love. Some say the realtor that is in the story is Harker, but others say it is Renfield who earlier visited the Count before Harker.
I agree with that. It could have been the banker.
Mine was too and I can get onto a website that is from another language and it changes it to English.
at the top right of your computer there should be a setting that, while you are on the Japanese page, allows you to change the language to your language.
There are tennis players older than she is, so your reasoning doesn't stand up. She has shown that she can successfully win against younger players. You looked up soccer players instead of what I did which is look up oldest female tennis players. I did not list references since you can look up this yourself.
I didn't know there was a novel the movie was based on. My comments have only been about the movie.
