Necromancy
Necromancy (aka The Witching) is a 1972 horror film with Orson Welles as an evil maker of occult toys. When their first child is stillborn, a young couple moves to a new town called Lilith and the husband takes a job with the toy company. What can go wrong? Alas, not enough to make an interesting movie. After it was over, I wished I'd had a hard copy of it so that I could throw it across the room, or break it in half. Most movies have some redeeming factor, some small bright spot. Not this one. Boring.

I've seen movies like that before, and I've read books like that, too. I didn't throw mine across the floor, but cut them up and used them as backgrounds in my art !
ReplyDeleteGood use of bad books. I donate them to Goodwill, but that's just spreading the bad work around. I'll have to remember this the next time I read a book that's deserving of being transformed into art ;)
DeleteDarn. It sounded like it had possibilities.

Yes, right? You'd think Orson Welles alone could've made it worth watching. Sadly, no.
DeleteImagine Orson Welles even not being able to make it worth watching. Things must have been hard for him to have to do a film like that. But then I have heard actors can´t really tell how it is going to turn out; apparently Halle Berry was convinced that "Cat Woman" was going to be a great success. John Heard, however, must have realized that a film called "Sharknado" would be silly...
ReplyDeleteHe did 4 films and a TV episode that year and 6 films the year before. I wonder how much investment he really felt towards any one film. I got the impression he was phoning it in on this one.
