Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I saw it in the theater when it came out and was terribly disappointed. It seemed like an endless string of missed opportunities. I haven't gone back to it, because the director has since made nothing but disappointments, but you keep pleading the case, I'll drop it on my Netflix queue.

Voodoo

This was a decent cheesey entertainer. Corey Feldman at his best facing off against an evil caucasian voodoo priest that happens to also be the alpha male of a campus fraternity. Like I said, decent cheesy entertainment.

Not as good as the material it references, but a loving tribute to a bygone film style nonetheless. Excellent use of stock footage & rear screen projection give it a great period feel. If the storytelling had been a bit more cohesive I'd give it a higher rating, but It's another solid, entertaining outing from Soderberg and Clooney. Highly recommended to Alky, Neverending, Crabby & Newb...Zwoti might dig it too.

7.5/10
I really, really, really wanted to see this in theaters (I mean, c'mon, a nod to Bogey film?!) but never got around to it.

After seeing that you liked it, I'm sure I will, too. I'll be checking this one out pronto.
