Review of Magic (1978) by Louis S — 28 Jul 2014

Some good scenes, performances, and characters. But it wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. The film has a hard time deciding what it wants to be. I wish they would have blurred the line between whether Fats and Corky are the same person a little more than they did.

If they could have built up the idea Fats was his own person without it being like Chucky it would have been a lot scarier. Which, coming into the movie, is what I thought they were going to do. This movie was probably a lot more scary when it came out 36 years ago.
