peter weir’s THE PLUMBER (1979)

it’s billed as a horror movie, but while it has its creepy and scary moments, i ended up feeling it more as a dark comedy, which was fine! yes, highly entertaining.

production wise it reminds me a lot of cronenberg movies from the 70s, without the special effects. no monsters or paranormals here, just people.

the story—the story is great!

without giving away too much SPOILERS SPOILERS...

i think that movie the cable guy with jim carrey i think it was, was ripped from this.

END SPOILERS

anyway, good stuff, a lot of ambiguous conversations a great plus in a genre often characterized by obvious shit.highly watchable! do not be mislead by the schlocky poster.
