Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Continuity: When The Kid carries Julia and the bag across the street near the end of the movie, he is no longer limping - he walks normally. In the previous scene, Julia was walking and he was holding her hand; he was limping along, dragging the bag along the ground one step at a time. The next time we see him walking, he is limping again. more

We stumbled into an amazing world..., 18 February 2007
10/10
Author: bugmenot697 from New York

So I was doing the Saturday crossword puzzle in the NY Times. Another boring day, then I saw this little review on the top of the page. The reviewer Neil Genslinger spoke poorly of a movie that he said was shot illegally in the subways and sewers of New York. He said the film was unnecessary -- I was sold. I went online and bought out tickets and we found ourselves at the world premiere of this fantastic little gem, at a small little Lower East Side theater rubbing elbows with a couple of reviewer, some cast and crew, and other neighborhood denizens. It was at times creepy, frightening, funny, and moving. Everyone, but an older British gentleman left with a big smile on their face.

The above reviewer did a good job of summarizing the plot. But spoke nothing of the cool and unexpected effects, art direction, stirring performances, and rich soundtrack. Not to mention a gritty back alley tour of my New York. There was also a old school cartoon credit sequence that my girlfriend didn't have to hide her eyes from, not like the scary bits.

We look forward to adding this film to our collection.
