   Uh. Yup. That's what it's called.

     @onelson Wait, I'm sure there's something in Nigel Wingrove's orbit that does. There must be, right?

     Or Jake West's? Eileen Daily didn't have piercing in Razor Blade Smile, did she?

     (Oh no, I have just given myself so many awesome turn-of-the-millenium B-films for my re/watch list.)

     Nobody even tried to light this shot.

     I think this guy is meant to be in 17th century garb, but I notice now he's wearing cargo pants with velcro flaps.

     Also, he's wearing sneakers and a very mass-manufactured button-down shirt.

     This is the first time I've seen a movie featuring a big titty vampire who has nipple piercings.

     I think I remember some story about how you can't copyright "Amityville" so there's just a bunch of garbage out there without any real link to that movie.

     It just occurred to me some of these interior shots are handheld, not for the effect, but rather because they're shooting in real spaces instead of on sets and probably don't have room for a dolly or tripod.

     Camera operator can't figure out how to keep the shot in focus.

     Pretty sure they left the camera's autofocus on and it's just going wild when it thinks the subject is something unexpected passing through the frame.

     It's never been easier to make a movie.

     This is very much a "some people got some digital video camcorders and that's all they spent money on" movie.
