TWIL: New version of Cape Fear


I managed to avoid watching the 1962 film version of Cape Fear by hiding in my Mom’s womb. Once I was out I continued avoiding it until a few years ago, when I saw it as a part of our Film Noir binge.

Then there was the 1991 remake by Martin Scorsese. I read it was more brutal, more violent, and I don’t know if there were any raw eggs in it, but the ads creeped me out so much that I couldn’t imagine seeing it.

So now I have learned that there’s another remake coming out in June on Apple TV. Child rape and bullying for the 21st century.

I know I’m giving off grandma vibes about You Kids Today, but every thirty years we have to put up with this? Really?
