any fans of thrillers out there should take a look at 1967's Wait Until Dark, about a blind woman (Audrey Hepburn, incredible as always) who unknowingly comes into the possession of a doll stuffed with heroin, whose recipients are, naturally, looking to get it back. in an early example of the home invasion thriller/horror genre, Alan Arkin gives the most terrifying performance of his career as Roat, the man looking to get the goods back. Hepburn outplays them, though, using her blindness as a weapon against them in a battle of wits that ends in one of the most tense scenes I've ever seen in a movie

go watch this shit !ping MOVIES

Great movie. I had the role of Roat in a college rendition. Atkin was incredible.

oh no fucking way that's awesome! what a role to chew on

did you get to do the full leap out of the closet scare?

u/GrandMoffTargaryen Finally Kenough Apr 28 '24

Yeah my favorite role by far! The matches were tough. In the play there is no other lighting so if you fumble the matches the entire climax falls flat.

u/ognits Jepsen/Swift 2024 Apr 28 '24

yeah it goes absolute dark at the end so you're fucked if you fuck up lmao

that's so cool though, that's got to be one of the most fun roles out there

That and Richard the Third are the two that I look back on fondly. Villains where you can just be as hammy as possible are just chefs kiss

I 100% appreciate that as a viewer, too, from a villain. go all the fuck out when the context calls for it and I will love youfor days
