Review of The Drifting Classroom (1987) by Kristal C — 23 Mar 2010
The Mist meets Lord of the Flies. Some of this movie approaches the madness of Hausu, but it never really gets to that level. What makes Hausu so amazing is how completely over-the-top it is. When Obayashi holds back like this, it's closer to camp.
Japanese guys writing for and directing American children is a recipe for terrible acting and dialogue. But despite its campiness, it is pretty imaginative and bizarre, and sometimes really funny.
