I just finished watching one of the oddest horror movies I've seen in quite some time: Don't Look Up, directed by Fruit Chan and produced by Hideo Nakata, with Henry Thomas as a hard-bitten Hollywood producer whose latest flick is a remake of a legendary cursed "lost" film based on a Roumanian folk-tale. Part-way into it, I suddenly thought: Where have I heard that before? Oh shit, isn't that the plot of David Lynch's Inland Empire? And you know, it totally is, except with all the stuff Lynch would never put in a movie added in on top--aside from maybe the old dude who seems to be playing the Romany Devil Beng, and looks like the preacher from Poltergeist II with a massive goiter the size of a supernumerary head growing out of the side of his neck. Oh, and Eli Roth has a cameo as the director of the original film, which means he gets to wear 1920s clothes and freak out for five minutes before disappearing, never to be seen again (dum dum DUM). Don't look up, I tells ya!
