a review of 恐怖小店

This original version of the film lays it on thick with the shtick. Its pacing is kind of exhausting, not helped by the score. The relationships between the main characters are absurd, strictly for laughs. There are a few sequences that are so far-fetched they're worth seeing once, including the Jack Nicholson cameo. It's not bad enough to give less than two stars to but if it went on for another twenty minutes it might have been. Worth seeing once in your life if you're interested in where the story originated cinematically.
