first, there is almost no buzz about this movie among moviegoers, which imo, is a bomb for night, whose movies i love.
second the political slamming is pretty obvious if you have an analytical mind. particularly noticeable, it becomes, when night appears at the end and is listening to the news and reading the paper and it's about the war (ie-unreasoning violence that the "villagers" have spurned is equivalent to a war that is fought in defense of one's country-NOT)
third, the script is fairly laughable once you realize what he's doing. the character of the monster is an absurdity, a deus ex machina in reverse...there were also spots where we laughed out loud--at serious moments...
fourth--you must really be an unhappy person and/or a DEMOCRAT if you can't discuss something intelligently without getting contemptuously nasty. ...one of the anointed, i suppose. how sad.
