The Keep on TV tonight - Paul R - 10-04-2009
Sorry, I know it's short notice, but I only found out minutes ago myself. Anyway, if there are any UK-dwellers out there who are interested in watching The Keep, it's on tonight (Sunday) on the Scifi/Horror movie channel (Sky 307) at 10.45.
Enjoy! (Or perhaps not...)

I've never seen it. Was it really that pitiful =as a film=, or did it just
slash and stomp and gut and murder Paul's book?

It was terrible from start to finish. No redeeming qualities whatsoever (Other than Ian McKellan as Cuza). Rasalom was represented as a big hulking guy covered in some sort of black substance and looked like something from a Bugs Bunny cartoon. To top it off, they had Scott Glenn playing Glaeken. Say no more.
Bottom line: Michael Mann f**ked it up so bad that it is pretty much unrecognizable as far as the source material is concerned.

But oddly, some see it as a moody, atmospheric, and effective flick.:confused:
I guess they're not real Paulkitties or Paulcats.

Not sure if I'm a Paul kitty or Paul cat but I know a horrible movie when I see one. For example, Commando is, by all rights a bad/horrible movie but I've seen it 30 times.
Not quite sure how anyone could see the mess that was "The Keep" and come away with anything but confusion...

But...but....:itsme:...I liked The Keep. It was cheezy....and corny....and all that. But I liked it just the same.

I liked it too. It was indeed the mood of the film that hypnotised me.

Because of the movie....I sought out FPW's books. I'd call that a win situation.

But did you think, "These are mighty good, but nothing like the movie?"
:p

I read the book first which is why I hated the movie so much. I have always considered The Keep my favorite book of the modern era (I had read a lot of Howard and Haggard before but The Keep got me into Lovecraft and I have never looked back) and the movie was so far off the mark it just never had a chance with me.
