Classic. 👌🏼
Now you know what everyone else is referencing! Extra point for Colleen Dewhurst as a hot alcoholic
Struggles to maintain momentum after the cold open, but the iconic intro is still worth it…!!!
Not at all what I was expecting. . . the "have you checked the children?" bit only lasts the first 20 minutes. Then the rest of the film follows the mentally ill killer in his everyday struggles (no, really) and the detective who's hunting him after the dude escapes from a mental asylum. Had some good bits, but overall, meh. Not sure I can recommend it.
A classic!
