Tribeca: From fake suburbia to Vegas, with devil worship

Foulmouthed Geena Davis can't save a suburban yarn made by aliens (or Australians); a mythic fable of desert greed; a neo-retro horror delight.

The letters thread is now closed.

10 yrs of films about suburban angst, is nine yrs too many

The last thing I want to do is see yet another film about the banality and shallowness of the suburbs. Is it really that difficult for film makers to come up with something original and entertaining?

Can we move on to another topic, at least?

Andrew, you had me at "circa 1982"

I'm not one to gush that Mary Woronov = great anything, and I claim the high ground as one who considers "Cabin Fever" to be predictable trash (except for the old coot's line about "my n*****s"), but gimme that old time 1980's horror vibe any day!

I look forward to renting this on Netflix, as surely it will last 1/2 day in my local cinema before being bumped off by the next installment of "Twilight."

P.S. Word to the wise: rent "Mystery Science Theater 3000's" demolition of "Horrors of Spider Island!"
