GBW #20: The Killer is Me (Magic / Monkey Shines / The Pit)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! On this week's episode, Chris and Ryan look at horror films in which our lead character channels a murderous personality through another vessel. We start with "Magic," the Richard Attenborough film from 1978, with a bravura lead performance from Sir Anthony Hopkins as a magician who rekindles a relationship with an old high school flame (Ann-Margret) but can't get past the disagreeable part of his persona which he channels through a foul-mouthed dummy. Then, we move into the great George Romero's biggest misfire, 1988's "Monkey Shines," before finishing it out with one of the weirdest films you will ever see: 1981's "The Pit."
