The greatest crime a horror movie can commit is to be this boring.

Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV

Okay we need to talk about how on a technical and journalistic level… this was awful. 

Quiet on Set couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a documentary about the dangers of child labor, actual rapists that ran wild at Nickelodeon, or their creepy boss. What you’re left with is a gross mess of ~3 hours of exploitative speculation and an hour of a really heartbreaking story that feels like it should have been his own thing. 

The build up…

The Devils

1971

This fucking rocked. A movie for all of us who have been so horny we destroy our towns and the integrity of the church that governs them. For all of us who do weird things when we have a crush, like turn them into a religious pariah. The dialogue, the fruity styling of the King’s Baron, and Vanessa Redgrave were all (for lack of a better word) immaculate. Kind of a shame I didn’t see this before I had already healed from all of my Catholic guilt. 

Oh and the uncredited Twiggy cameo is a fun little nugget
