Bonjour! Nice to see another fellow Canadian Blogger, this movie looks pretty sad, haven't seen many oldies, but thanks for sharing =)
The video kind of freaked me out.
Looks like a very interesting movie.
Thanks for sharing.
You have quite an eclectic interest in movies.
I have no clue what I'm looking at. Seems...Abstract.
looks interesting.
that looks like a tripped out movie!
I came back to this since I wanted to know about this particular film and why people want it on Blu-ray so badly. Can you provide any information on this title?
Ah, another one of the lacking posts from the early days of my blog... I know I should write a proper review for this one, as it's one of my personal favorites, and I promise I will eventually.
Why do I love it? In a nutshell, because it's so beautifully photographed, and the atmosphere evokes a dreamlike, supernatural aura that just flows. It's haunting, and triggers a scary but not quite nightmarish sensation, somewhat like an innocent fear of the unknown; and it stays with you, like those urban myths you hear as a child and can't stop thinking about.
I guess you could say that. I see it like a sheltered place of childhood innocence, and you're right, that all gets shattered after the ill fated field trip.
