1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious boring idiocy, June 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Carnival of Souls [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film is a remake of the 1962 classic. But whereas the 1962 version was haunting and poetic, this remake is drab and boring.

The story has been "updated" to include a child abuse theme, thus explaining why the lead character has trouble "connecting" with people. Also tossed in are special effects monsters taken from JACOB'S LADDER. None of this new stuff adds anything to the film.

This film is also poorly edited. The character keeps waking up, discovering that what happened was a dream. Then waking up again. Now she's in the water, then she isn't, then she's crawling out of the water, then it didn't happen.

If you've seen the original, you might be able to guess what's going on in this remake. If not, then you'll probably be even more confused.

When I bought this video at auction, I thought that I was getting the original. I dont know where to begin in expressing how bad this film is.

1.0 out of 5 stars Larry Miller gives an annoying performance in a god awful remake, November 20, 2005

Mike Bolts (Superior, Wi) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Carnival of Souls [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A woman who when she was little, was abused by her mother's boyfriend Larry Miller (10 Things I Hate About You, A Mighty Wind) who was put away, but then she finds out he has died. Then, she starts to see him and other things, having strange dream like sequences where shes stuck in a car while its drowning or when she goes on a boat ride with this guy named Mike she just met, she starts to have sex with him, she finds out shes having sex with Larry Miller...uh....ok I guess. Boring as hell...ridiculous as hell...this movie is the pits itself. Also starring Cleavant Derricks (Tv's Sliders). To whomever likes this movie better then the original Carnival of Souls.......I punch you with my fist...hard in the face....sorry, thats just me
