I dont know if anybody else has seen these 2 fairly recent movies by Hooper... 1) Mortuary and 2) Tool Box Murders. I watched "Mortuary" last night, it was really terrible!! Story line was the worst part! It started out with a good idea but graduated into about 3 other story lines ,most of which were never explained and really got stupid!
Tool Box Murders, was worse (if that is possible)..again too many holes , and things just totally left unexplained!
For someone who is supposedly this great, king of horror..It is really a shame that he put out this CRAP!! I thougth directors were suppose to get better as time goes on , NOT worse!!
As said, Hoopers fame is only based on 2 or 3 good movies. Just about everything else he directed was below average or just plain crappy.
He relies greatly on his directors of photography and screenwriters to do the real thinking and crafting. He had a good crew on those 2 or 3 occasions, but he seems unable to bring enough creativity and insight himself.
I didn't think the toolbox murders was that bad certainly not great but it was better than i thought it would be but it was a let down compare to some of tobe hooper's other films.
Nah, I think he's more or less a one hit wonder. He wrote/directed my favorite film of all time, so I have to give him major credit for that, haven't really cared for anything else he's done though.
