The Sprial Staircase
Ok so here's another one of those psychotic old mystery movies that I like to watch. This was recommended to me by a girl at work. Same one who recommended Donkey Skin. She knows lots of movies. Sometimes I like her recommendations, sometimes I don't. This one I sort of liked. It got my adrenaline going just enough. So anyway this was the story of a small town with a murderer in it who goes after people with disabilities. There's this girl who is mute and she becomes a potential victim. It's pretty intense. When the murder is around, you never see his whole self, you just see his eye and they zoom in a bunch on it. Kind of cheesy, but it's at those moments that I can jump and grab onto my dog so I like it. The main thing I liked the most about this movie though was Dorothy McGuire, the girl who played the mute girl... the lead. Almost the entire movie she doesn't talk at all, yet somehow she still keeps you fascinated with her every move. So yeah I liked this movie. Then again maybe it's just one of those weird obscure movies that I like that everyone else thinks is strange. Well g'night.
