Here's a couple movie reviews I've been meaning to link to, from my worst movie lineup. First and most interesting is Absolutely Anything, kind of an HG Wells adaptation and also an unofficial Monty Python movie. Very disappointing, somewhat redeemed by a halfway decent final act.

Second, there's High Tension, a good movie ruined by a multiple personality "twist". The ONLY examples I can think of where this worked were a Robert F. Young story and a segment in Trilogy of Terror, which proves that the popular fixation on a flawed model of schizophrenia was around by the 1960s-'70s at least. Does anyone recall other examples from earlier than this, or for that matter the original Matheson short story?
