Movie Reviews of Fortress

Movie Review: Goosebumps! Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie in 1985 or 86 when I was 7 years old. I only saw it one time on TV. I didn't even remember how I came to see it or whose home I saw this movie in. I didn't remember the title. I remembered that it scared the crap out of me and gave me recurring nightmares over the years from the first night I saw it up to this day. I just ordered this movie and plan to watch it a second time, since the first time I saw it 24 years ago, and try to understand how this movie affected me in such a deep way.
UPDATE: I finally saw the movie. It is everything I'd imagined it; very thrilling from beginning to end. Among many things three things made this movie excellent; the acting, sound effects and pacing. There is realistic acting from the entire cast, even the youngest of the children are very charismatic and believable. The sound effects is actually what makes this movie creepy. Most horror movies are loud and jarring from start to end. Fortress starts out silent then gets loud and silent and then loud again, etc... It creates a three dimensional aural suspense that makes a sunny day in the Australian outback as creepy and horrifying as a rainy night in a haunted castle in Transylvania (IE. See the similarly styled setting of the Mad Max movie). See it for the sound if anything. The pacing is spectacular. An actual story is being told and as an audience you get treated with respect by the storyteller. Nothing is wasteful or meaningless. The plot is tight and compact, the themes precise and grotesque so you get an actual movie and not some loud disposable, cheap music video/pop sensation horror flick.
