Query: Update of Corman Classic Has Few Moments

This remake of "A Bucket of Blood," put in a modern 90s setting this time, is stylish and colorful but lacks the pacing and black humor that made the original such a classic. The casting is okay but the direction given to Anthony Michael Hall as Walter Paisley and Justine Bateman as love interest Carla leaves alot to be desired. What made Dick Miller's performance in the original work was the quirky charm and naivete he carried even as he descended into murder. Hall's Walter comes off as a dumb, malevolent jerk in grungewear. Turning the character of Carla into an aloof Italian Eurotrash fashion victim was also a bad move. None of the characters capture attention or sympathy except maybe in the pivotal part where a haughty loudmouth model pisses Walter off and sets the stage for his murderous art. At 85 minutes, it is almost twenty minutes longer than the original and it shows. Not bad, but not great either.
