It's easy enough to read the film as a treatise against the maniacal way society enforces gender, though that was certainly not the intention of the filmmakers.Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399713449347559869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799692319538063538.post-56113894363132787232021-08-23T15:36:29.559-07:002021-08-23T15:36:29.559-07:00I'm only familiar with Joel Goldsmith via the ...I'm only familiar with Joel Goldsmith via the score for Kull the Conqueror and it suuuucks.<br /><br />I wish I liked Psycho II at all (Psycho III is where it's at) and The House on Sorority Row more (it does have its charms), and I should probably, at some point, get around to watching Sleepaway Camp. I really have never heard anyone actually badmouth it despite the (presumably justified) handwringing that spoiled the movie's ending for me somewhere along the lines of nine or ten years ago. I'm sure it's better in Terror Train anyway. (Maybe it's not transphobic, maybe he's just a master of disguise! Maybe not! I don't remember!)<br /><br />Anyway, glad you're back and prodigiously productive!Hunter Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925220178171355473noreply@blogger.com
