I Never Did Like Carrots

A whiskey stream of consciousness review.

Brutal and ugly film to start, then slowly turns campy. Let me just say that the title of this film is the worst. Total disinformation. That said, there are good things, the music and there are some nice shots, like when one of the stocking masked intruders enters the kitchen, but the thrill kill subject is tough to watch.

At times the score is similar to a Brady bunch episode, but other moments are good old school 50s style horror score.

The attempts at creativity during the dream sequences falls flat today, but must've been super self-indulgent at the time. Sean's hair is some of the worst of the time. Other than the Geico caveman commercials, I sure hope that style never repeats itself. He does find a trippy end in the desert. Death by tumbleweed or yucca. Couldn't really tell. All I know is that tho is isn't the yucca massacre. The music is outstanding at times. Wondering where it was created or lifted from. If original, my sincere kudos. Especially like the Goblinesque music during the Delicious Girls sequence. "I have to pay for my books somehow..." The make up effects are terrible, but pretty gruesome for the time. Especially the end sequences. I do kinda like the fact that the there is a "Golem" occult creature getting revenge, however, kind of annoyed that the most despicable character somehow avoids his fate, but it does stray from the predictable. Split with Knob Creek Barrel Proof Rye. Cheers!
