If I had any extra sense, I could rely on ESP. As it stands, it’s probably safer to post: this week, on Roy’s Tie Dye Sci-Fi Corner, we’ll vent our fury, by discussing… well, “The Fury” (1978). Brian De Palma’s Hitchcock-infused telekinesis thriller was a stranger thing, well before “Stranger Things.”
Lantern-jawed Kirk Douglas gets up to all sorts of derring-do on his quest to rescue his kidnapped son, before he can be transformed into a killing machine by a nefarious ex-colleague. But Amy Irving, in a parallel story, has the final say, as blue-eyed Gillian, who can make you shudder. Composer John Williams out-Bernard Herrmanns Bernard Herrmann, with a score that, Pauline Kael opined, “may be as apt and delicately varied… as any horror movie has ever had.”
You’ll have more fun than a room full of John Cassavetes, when you join us for our discussion of “The Fury,” on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Live-scream in the comments section, as we live-stream on Facebook, this Friday evening at 7:00 EST!
