there be not one original idea in this story . theme be pull from various source while a few be the ninth gate and in the mouth of madness ( another carpenter film ) and and the ring . it even go as far a feature the same damn glow circle from the ring and use it a the film namesake . the soundtrack by cody carpenter be all but lift from suspiria . hopefully no one will oppose this comment by spew the word homage around . yes and i saw that the theater be play argento deep red . claim an homage would be a bullshit cop out . this be bottom of the barrel . throw gore and disturb imagery into the pot do not make a good horror film . carpenter use to know that . he should fade into obscurity or acquire a time machine .
