Bill Skarsgård. Not going anywhere for a while?
Over at Alex on Film I just wrapped up my notes on a trio of movies about rich psychos who trap car thieves in specially designed automobiles: Captured (1998), 4×4 (2019), and Locked (2025). Watching them, I couldn’t help but think of what Hitchcock would have made out of such a set-up. He liked challenges like pretending a movie was shot all in one take, or setting a whole film on a lifeboat. Alas, none of the directors involved in these films made much out of the idea, either in terms of generating suspense or having a political message, even though each makes gestures in that direction.

Oh well. Maybe someone will make a good one some day.

If someone wants my cars, they are welcome to the them! The gun and ammo I carry is probably worth just a shade less than the cars 😉
Which brings up the point, why spend all that money on boobytraps when you could buy a long rifle and just shoot criminals? Or even hire a hit man to start taking them out? It’s completely Hollywood thinking, ie, out of touch with any sort of reality and not even a fun kind of out of touch.

It’s a peg to hang a movie on, that’s for sure. They just needed to make a better movie out of it.
