I think this is the closest a film can get to visual perfection. I'm so late to the party on it, but I finally knocked it off my watchlist for the first time yesterday and I'm obsessed with it now. The colors are gorgeous, the old practical effects are so fun, and the whole thing is so weird and campy. MWAH. PERFECTION. I think fake blood being shot on whatever cameras they were using in the 80s is genuinely one of the coolest textures/colors in film. The opening credits are so fucking cool & the performances are stellar. It got a standing ovation in my living room. Still have to watch the sequel!
(TW for attempted assault scene, heads up!)
