![]() ![]() In my case, pre-video, late at night usually on some creature feature. When I was reading it, somehow I just pictured one of those low-budget movies that we grew up all watching. It's under the donuts and candy, there's actually a very nutritious meal and I love when that happens. I love when an unpretentious genre movie will actually present a significant theme like that. But turn off the lights, and no lights, no machines, no rules, you'll see how savage people get, and that really struck as true to me. The whole theme of the movie is in this scene where Tom says, "Yeah, when the machines are running and everything's fine, okay." Although even that's getting a little sketchy these days. It's such a thin barrier between cooperation and savagery and I just thought it was such a brilliant callback to things like Rod Serling's great "Twilight Zone" episode, "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," or "Lord of the Flies." ![]()
