Prediction: The Monk
Shiri’s Prediction: I’m not entirely sure what this movie is about, but some of those dudes definitely had candle hats and that alone may be worth the price of admission. A bit of a departure from our norm, I know, but I’m intrigued by the word “Gothic” popping up so prominently several times in such a short span. The theologian in me is very curious because medieval Benedictines and the fantasy writer in me is interested in just how Gothic and surreal it’s going to get. May wait for the DVD but I think this one will likely sneak into the rotation somewhere. Probably when Jon is on a business trip to Canada.
Luke’s Prediction: Creepy period piece where it looks like the devil comes to a monastery and then weird stuff hits the fan, sounds like a good time. Did a bit of digging and the book it is based on sounds interesting, though the plot summary goes on for like 10 or 12 paragraphs on wikipedia and the list of characters is intense. So, I have read a bit of some gothic novels here and there, but I don’t remember reading an entire one. This looks interesting enough to pick up both as a movie and as the book behind it.
