Review of The Funeral (1996) by Jayda L — 27 Dec 2005

The "Black Sunday" I saw was the Mario Bava-Barbara Steele classic. It was corny in spots especially the music, but Bava's talent showed all over the place. I alos saw Abel Ferrara's "The Funeral". It's a gloomy movie but it stays with you and good old Chris Penn gets to outact a cast full of badasses like Christopher Walken and Vincent Gallo.

I also saw a few episodes of the recent Outer Limits revival and the 80's version of the Twilight Zone. There is one Zone story so far, "Nightcrawlers", a William Friedkin piece about a Vietnam vet at a roadside diner, that is as scary as anything on the orignal show. The Outer Limits stuff was good too but the main thing I remember about that is Alyssa Milano's breasts.:D.
