Well that was fun, wasn't it?! This week we checked out The Devil's Carnival, written by Terrance Zdunich (rocked the role of Lucifer and also wrote and starred in Repo! The Genetic Opera) and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (he also directed Saw II, III, IV, and Repo!). I have to say, for all the gore and scare factor that this horror movie really isn't (and purposefully so...it needs not a bit of it), it's replaced and undoubtedly supassed by a ton of literary fun and well executied Rock Opera.
I'll be honest: it's probably the band geek in me that makes me love this feature (as I did with Repo!). In my opinion, it just seems like a step-up in the game to do a horror/musical mixed-genre film. I mean you're essentially getting 2 layers of entertainment; 3 if you cound spotting cameos like Bill Moseley and Dayton Callie (of recent SoA fame).
