[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 393146, member: 8"] Tweak? [I]Tweak?[/I] The story is fine and the murders do have some shock value, but everything else is....words fail me. The sets are dull and the only reason it's happening on a farm is because of the axe. None of these characters are farm people. The cinematography and lightning are almost non-existent, resulting in one big grey blur. Were these people "acting" at gunpoint? That makes sense because nobody would want to be in this film voluntarily. The dialogue is insipid and monotonous, and everybody looks as if they can't wait for it to end. William Castle must have really hated the film industry. And then, after Diane Baker has already explained the why-and-how, Joan Crawford explains everything [B]again[/B] in detail, basically retelling the whole film. As if watching the film wasn't excruciating enough. To be perfectly honest, there was one scene that made me chuckle. [ATTACH type="full"]51947[/ATTACH] Oh, she [I]mistakenly[/I] chopped up her husband and his mistress. Well that changes everything, of course. There's not going to be any tweaking here.
