Toilet Radio 584 – The Keep

The October Spooktacular is upon us yet again. Each week this October we’ll watch a different horror movie and talk about everything that makes it worthwhile. This week we’re watching Michael Mann’s (yes, that Michael Mann) bizarre second major motion picture. The Keep (1982) is a World War II period piece set against the Carpathian mountains as Nazis invade Romania and discover a fortress built not to keep things out, but keep them in. Propelled by a sick ass Tangerine Dream soundtrack and visuals you will not find in any other 80s horror, this is a unique picture. Is it as good as Thief, Collateral, Heat, or Miami Vice? Absolutely not! The production of The Keep was a tragicomedy of errors but the finished product is still very much worth your time. Lets talk about what happens when a five star director makes a two star horror flick. Music featured on this episode: Drouth – False Grail  This program is available on Spotify.
