Movie Reviews of The Stepford Wives
Movie Review: A Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was born in 78, so I missed out on some of the good 1970's horror movies. I had read the novel and loved it, and as soon as I signed up for a mail order rental service, it went to the top of the list. I was not disapointed. I thought Katherine Ross was amazing! Yes, the pacing was slow at parts, and it didn't quite portray the growing dread as scary as I had imagined it, but those were my only real issues with it. This is a really frightening movie for me, that these men would be so heartless and selfish and hate their wives so much that they would turn them into "Stepford Wives." Destroying someone you claimed to love so they can cater to you every need and never complain or take time or think for themselves. Wow! That kind of stuff beats most recent horror hands down!Movie Review: Completely Awsome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is amazing. When I went to the movie theater and saw the new version of this film I was more than disgusted to see how they were trying to pull out a story that sounds scary in a "funny way", and there it is, just a joke of a film that shows great performances wasted in a non sense-unlogical poorly directed movie. I was told about the original version of this movie (DVD we're here trying to review) so i decided to see it. I could not be more pleased by it; it is not only smart, but emotional, and even realistic... despite the fact that is about women turned into robots.. tho, maybe that is what makes it so realistic.. doesn't society try turning women into robots to serve the male element?Movie Review: This film has aged well
Summary: 5 Stars
(...) "Stepford" is still relevant because the Wives still walk among us, and the pretty-but-dumb type can still be found in every corner of our great nation, especially these days on "reality TV". The sheer number of brazen, but carefully airbrushed, hussies filling up my inbox and begging me to look at their pictures lets me know that the market for "sex robots" remains undiminished since the original Stepford days.Otherwise, get a look at the movie, or re-visit the film if you haven't seen it in a while. A fresh perspective never hurts, especially since I hear that the Stepford remake "stinks out loud".
Movie Review: Classic thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this, for the first time, within the
last 2 years, and I agree: It is a well done
shocker. Katharine Ross and Paula Prentiss
are excellent in the lead actress roles.
I thought Patrick O'Neal as the head of the
'men's association' and the actress who plays
the psychiatrist who Ross has an appointment
with are also standouts. Nanette Newman,
Peter Masterson, Franklin Cover (who also
played a character in "The Jeffersons" TV
series) and the rest of the cast all give
good performances.
Movie Review: The original version of The Stepford Wives
Summary: 5 Stars
This original version of The Stepford Wives is thrilling. I've read the book from which the movie was made and can testify, without a doubt, that the movie is far better than the book. The movie is richer in detail and the actors enrich the characters' personalities. Each scenario in the film is timely and ultimately leads to the chilling last few scenes. I've watched it at least six (6) times and am amazed at how much detail I pick up with each viewing. This version does not compare to any of those later released.
