Movie Madness review: Fade To Black

Movie Madness review

Today's movie is:   FADE TO BLACK (1980)

PLOT:

A shy, lonely, film geek goes on a killing spree against those who bully and browbeat him, while at the same time, he stalks his idol; a Marilyn Monroe look-alike.

But she has an Aussie accent

BASICS:
The story of True Movie Buff, Who becomes somewhat obsessed with creating his own real life movie after the whole world shits on him.

Rating: 5/10

I would recommend this to any Tim Thomerson fan. He looks like a Porn star in this film and still has his upbeat quirky humor.- From playing a harmonica on coke to eating ritz crackers out of his bed straight after sex.

"Come on baby,. I got crackers in my bed"

This film is very intelligent as it shows different clips of films throughout the whole movie based on the situation - Like how a musical adds a song, but if they went for a second. And If you don't like it at first, watch it again to grab movie references and symbolism. Once you get down to the psychological view on it - Its actually a great film. This does however remind me a lot, A Real Lot of "Christmas evil", It has the same kind of views and plot - A guy wants something so bad he will do anything for it, and becomes the character he always dreamed of. This film is a MUST for any movie buff.
