the dark tower be an obscure movie that have a lot of potential but squander the whole interesting idea of an evil building due to some really weak acting and a listless script and totally unfocused direction and and a cast that seemingly above the age of 40. it always great to see jenny agutter in anything but she deserve a good project than this . the direction be truly bizarre . i be sure the fact that the great freddie francis be replace by another director have contribute to the weirdness of the film but i wonder what they be attempt to do . it a if they try to make the building into a character and and at a certain point and they actually succeed and not because of some great feat of direction but because the human character be so weak and mess up that the building look positively sturdy and 3 dimensional compare to them . and speaking of human and i have never see such an old look cast . yes and jenny be in her late 30 when she make the movie but because practically everyone be above a certain age and this give the movie a sorta poky feel to it and which be the last thing the dark tower need . but the thing that kill this bizarre quasi mess be the end and or the resolution of the mystery or story . it be more funny than scary . one have to see it to believe it . a real curio of a movie worth see for fan of bizarre film .
