The Attic (1980)

Heartbreaking! Carrie Snodgress is pitch PERFECT!!!!

It took her ten years to come back to the big screen after her golden globe winning and oscar nominated turn in 1970's "Diary of a Mad Housewife", but this movie is well worth it. Carrie plays Louise a tormented librarian who is haunted by the lover that got away years ago and also by her domineering father. Finally she snaps and has had enough from her father and the table gets turned, but then the unthinkable happens, just when the audience is screaming "Yeah, you go girl?", the worst thing imaginable happen's to Louise. It's heartbreaking, emotionally draining, and one hell of rollercoaster ride of a movie. Find out what's in The Attic!!! May 31, 2004

Beyond Bizarre

This was a movie i picked up in the video store and, i'm ashamed to say, I judged it by its cover. Bad move. It was in the Horror section and the front cover showed a rather menacing monkey, so i thought i'd be in for a scary little treat. however, half an hour into the film I realised i was watching a bizarre film about a woman with a pet monkey, who lived with her wheelchair-bound father who she didnt like too much. On the upside, there were a few interesting scenes where the woman imagined retaliating against her father, but thats about it really. the monkey didnt really do anything fantastic either. bizarre film.
