With an emphasis on the bloody.

Buckets of the stuff. Spurting and dripping
and flowing and piling up.

Garbage movie critic has reviewed garbage movie. They gave usually
thump up mostly to the garbage movie. The bad movie get good reviews
because it's the new
way of review movie in these days.

Why isn't there any chance of it being a good movie, Cloudy?

Eh, lots of flowing blood and spurts, but AvP had it better. IMO.

True, but it has the same shade of red that the old Hammer films
utilized. Probably intended by Burton.

If you ask Red Cloud to explain himself, then his one-joke-pony act is
blown.

Burton was all set to direct the film back in the mid-90's, and claimed
it was going to be his "Loving tribute to Hammer horror films"...

But this was the mid-90's, back when every Broadway movie project
self-destructed in limbo, so he ended up taking "Sleepy Hollow" instead,
and made THAT the outlet for his personal Hammer-tribute urges, which
is how he first started using Christopher Lee in all his movies--
And now that musicals are okay again and he got to do Todd anyway, now
we have...TWO Hammer tributes. Please, Tim, don't hurt Hammer. ;)
