Also, for Madchen Amick. Not disappointed.
It's mild for Hooper, but something he was invested in.
Minor but not bad. Has elements of Cinderella early on.
Amy making the dress for her drunken Aunt and
reminded repeatedly of her place in the household.
And her penniless state. Natilie Schafer, as grandma,
with her ancient, masklike, features is pure Hooper.
An extratextual element in Lovey Howell
being reduced to an estate of $400 and a wedding ring.
Hooper's work was never about gore anyway.
Few of his usual flourishes, but visually
accomplished as always. Well-cast as well.
One wonders what Professor Anthony Perkins
has planned for the remnants he digs up at story's end.
Imagine a sequel where he remakes it as red loincloth.
Luring virile young Mexican men to his sacrificial altar.
