Death Becomes Her
Episode 10, Oct 22, 2020, 04:14 PM
Attacking October slightly out of order, Richard and Kyle dive into Death Becomes Her, Zemeckis’ early 90s horror comedy romp starring Bruce Willis, Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep.
Death Becomes Her finds Zemeckis working in full Tales from the Crypt mode (that’s next episode - stay tuned!) with big performances and effects that hold up well today. The film took home an oscar for visual effects, further cementing Bob Z’s reputation as an effects director. But there’s so much more to enjoy in this film than just the effects, wonderful as they are.
The performances are impeccable across with board, with Streep and Willis playing strongly against type and Z’s use of the camera and editing are impeccable throughout.
