Slasher (2004)
Typical Used Car Salesman
I used to live 50 miles north of Memphis so I know where their dealership is. Having gone through a six-month stint as a car salesmen (while between jobs) a long time ago I know a few things about the games the sales-people AND the customers play. Yes, salesmen lie through their teeth ("I have to talk to the sales manager"; "we're not making a thing on this deal"; "we're giving you {fill in the blanks} for your car which is more than it's worth", etc.).
But customers also lie (I'll be back),and I've seen many who will come in just to jack a salesmen around. Real time-killers.
But on to the movie. The "Slasher" is the typical used car salesman with the hyped up attitude and proclaiming to cut prices to the bone. It was still interesting and worth everyone's time to watch.
I thought the gals hired to bring in the customers was a typical tactic and it probably worked, esp. with the blond.
Alien (1979)
Alien
One of the creepiest sci-fi movies of all time. It combines sci-fi with horror with director Ridley Scott building the tension slowly. In fact, some people have complained that it moves too slowly, especially in contrast to the sequel (Aliens 1982) but this critics fail to appreciate the terrifying build-up to a spectacular climax between Ripley & the Alien.
The cast works well with one another and even though it is sci-fi it becomes believable as the movie progresses. This movie should be in every sci-fi & horror fan's collection (along with the sequel). I just wish that I had seen it originally on the big screen, but in 1979 I had my head elsewhere.
