MY DOG TULIP

The writing is good, and there's a few laughs, but so much of the narrative is spent in the pursuit of breeding that it becomes pathetic and sad.

CROPSEY

8/2/2011

 
Staten Island resident documentary filmmakers reveal the story of a serial killer and the young children he prayed upon. Horrifying footage of Willowbrook Institution which "housed" the young rejects of the surrounding boroughs. Creepy combo of fact and urban legend.

Dark, funny, weird; great cast, art direction & cinematography. Writer director Todd Solondz takes chances with taboo topics. His writing is tight. See it!
