I watched
The first installment online at Lifetime just now. It's all I could sit through so far. Have to ask myself why this is. And the answer is that it hits close to home.
I grew up in the time period the film is set in. And while my mother wasn't the fire breathing, bible quoting monster that Weaver portrays, the fundi part is the same.
The film gives me the willies, to put it simply. If there is such a thing as time travel, this movie is it.
Love Sigourney. She eats up film with a ferocity that always is a joy to behold.
I read an interview at the Advocate online tonight where she talked about being in Bobby's bedroom and that it was important to 'get it right'. Well. I can see that she does from the get-go.
Bet I will cry that the rest of you. And get mad. All over again. For the years lost in pain and fear.
