    'What I really want to do is direct'.

    The want and sentiment occupies every department and field of the motion picture industry.

    Roger Spottiswoode's tight little 80's thriller features Jamie Lee Curtis, mid-horror-marathon, and a lovely small role for Oscar winner Ben Johnson.

    Who in the world would slow roast a dogs asshole and serve it to their husband? You would.

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Dear 1968:

    We made a film that has the following:

    -Female protagonist.
    -Whoops! Now an African-American protagonist.
    -It is in black & white.
    -It's all in one night! All in one one house!
    -We wait forever to even kind of tell you what's going on
    -People eat other people! You even get to see it!
    -Women die!
    -Kids die!
    -Kids kill their folks!
    -Brothers kill sisters!
    -Wait, everyone dies!
    -Whatever was happening has no conclusion!

    Please enjoy our film,

    George A.…
