The narration adds a very campy (unintentional?) flavor to the movie, which I find hilarious. But when it goes dark as you point out, it takes a nasty turn from which it doesn't really come back from. Most of the previous scenes are played for laughs.Dr. Bill Harfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393888655866896065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448511519951891974.post-1677857710944649512011-04-23T22:24:20.319-07:002011-04-23T22:24:20.319-07:00Thanks guys!

The first time I saw DERANGED, when I was a horror-obsessed younger teen, I just hated it. For some reason, though, I gave it another chance a few years back and it's really grown on me. I actually like the narrator's strange intrusions, like when he pops up in mom's room as Ez chats up her corpse. Though ill-conceived, I think it adds an inadvertant quirky charm to an already bizarre mix. I've found over time this is one of those films horror fans either love or hate.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04507994122498061011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448511519951891974.post-83894104142725203182011-04-22T19:19:51.075-07:002011-04-22T19:19:51.075-07:00this is a great film. thank you for your review. i...this is a great film. thank you for your review. i know they were going some what for a documentary feel, but to me the narration greatly under mines the film. it makes everything too obvious. why explain what is going on in Cobb's head through narration, when the actor is roberts blossom who is capable enough of an actor that all he would have to do is mutter to himself to get the idea across that his fragile mind is splintering. great review. keep up the good work!johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826626604746650253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448511519951891974.post-90744725003740331432011-04-13T16:11:22.263-07:002011-04-13T16:11:22.263-07:00Dude, this is sweet!
