Film School Rejects: Coroner’s Report: Lake Dead

    Despite my quarrels with your views on Mulberry Street, I agree with you for the most part on this review, especially in regards to the rape scene.

    Another huge problem with this film was that it revolved around a taboo subject matter - incest - yet it's not dealt with as though it were taboo. In fact, it's not even dealt with at all. There's a slight mention of it, but it's vastly ignored. Isn't horror supposed to constantly push the bounds? It's like the director said "yeah incest will get the audiences skin crawling. But let's not show it or talk about it, that's just creepy."
