Vicki sees an opening and plays on Evelyn’s insecurities with the stroppy teenager skill she has developed pushing her own mother’s buttons. Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love (CD, Album, RE, RM, Dig) Label: Fish People Cat: 0190295568948 Media Condition: Media: Mint (M) The disc is in perfect condition.
A monstrous master in his own home, John (Curry) is a little fish in a bigger crime pond, taking frustrations out on his victims and his wife alike. Neither synth-pop nor prog-rock, Hounds of Love nevertheless drew from both with double-platinum rewards on her home turf, and yielded her first U.S. Attuned to cracks in relationships from her parents’ break-up, she realises that the needy Evelyn (Booth), who has children that don’t live with her and dotes on a child-substitute dog, is exploited by her perverse, domineering, inadequate partner. Rather than the basement cage in a remote house of most abduction movies, Vicki is chained in a prosaic back bedroom on a regular street, and the racket she raises often alerts nosey neighbours. The first time I notice the name Kate Bush, is when I came across a video that discusses about artists that have yet entered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame about a year ago, and found Kate Bush having a spot in the countdown. An escape attempt is thwarted as it comes too early in the film to pay off, and agony is further prolonged by the sort of hard-to-watch ordeal (very tactfully shot) which became over-familiar (and thus devalued) in the Hostel heyday of torture porn.īut in other way this plays against expectations. Review Summary: The ingenious, sweeping bible of art-rock and alternative pop. Though expertly written and acted, the film defaults to a couple of well-worn clichés - reminiscent of Mum & Dad, Chained, Captivity and others few would want to watch more than once. It’s a shame Hounds Of Love is being released at a point where some viewers have started to baulk at more chained-up-in-the-basement movies. The result is something more than its abduction-horror plot suggests.
