Reviews

BoomerDT Don Siegel's 1971 version was a taut gothic thriller, a tale of repressed sexuality as Clint Eastwood portrays a wounded Union soldier found behind enemy lines next to the property of girls boarding school. The presence of a virile man stirs the sexual hormones of the principals at the academy which included a middle-aged headmistress...whose sexual experience consisted of an incestuous affair with her brother, a 20ish virginal teacher, a slave, a sexy teenager and a 12 year old girl just hitting puberty. Clint's character quickly realizes how his sexuality is easily able to manipulate the women into what could be a very soft life while he is waiting to finish for the war to finish. Sophia Coppola's version has none of the sexual tension of the original with no real background or development of the characters. In the interest of PC the slave character is left out, as was the incest flashback. Colin Ferrell as the soldier isn't a fascinating presence as was Eastwood was and doesn't project the potential terror that Clint did. If you find this plot premise interesting do yourself a favor and view the original.

lizzfizz Nothing happens, the film doesn't do anything daring or try to innovate, and i couldn't wait to get out of the theater. what a waste of money and of my time.

Osmosis Iron Reminds us that deep south was always messed up :D and ends just when it gets interesting.. sort of a "meh" movie!

Farshnoshket I can't waste my time on this dribble, but all I will say was the ridiculous way the film ended, instead of using a prior foreshadow in the film, which was quite sufficient, Coppola decides to hammer the point into the viewers head, which is when I threw up. Please do not waste your time.
