It's horror season and the movies look average at best.

As a wrestling fan and I grew up during the Von Erichs era I am looking forward to watching this.
Yes he has definitely had some assistance there, I hardly recognized him at first.
Yeah you can really see it in that bloated six-pack. He's committed to the role at least, hopefully that translates well on screen past his physicality and stature.
The Von Erichs is about as tragic as it gets for a family so should be a compelling story on film, I have only seen Zach in the Baywatch movie though he seems to have moved on considerably since then, as Zach is playing Kevin Von Erich it will be a very challenging role.
I only have small knowledge of their history but it does sound incredibly tragic throughout. Should make for quite a gripping story if it's handled competently and emotionally enough.
For those of you in the New York City area, The Film Forum is screening a series of films that they call "50 from the '50s."
Among the titles: TOUCH OF EVIL, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, SUNSET BLVD. REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, ALL ABOUT EVE, ON THE WATERFRONT, BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK, THE ASPHALT JUNGLE, PATHS OF GLORY and KISS ME DEADLY.
From their website:
The 1950s were a time when Congress held hearings on Communists in the movie industry; when left-leaning writers, directors, and actors were blacklisted; when the major studios were divested of their lucrative theater chains; when the studio system began to crumble; and when the movie industry faced its biggest threat of all: TV. In high-defense mode, the majors ballyhoo-ed new technologies (3-D and CinemaScope chief among them), a whole new generation of actors and icons, and even a new acting style, the Method, along with new, more adult subject matter, sometimes re-inventing the melodrama, comedy, Film Noir, the movie musical, and the historical epic, and filtering political allegories through Westerns and science fiction.

I caught the 8 PM showing of SUDDEN FEAR last night. Excellent movie, very fun to watch with an audience. A lot of good face acting and some very drawn out tense moments.
That said, Crawford is amazing, and her gowns and hats even got their own title card IIRC. =))
The list of films that the Film Forum is screening is beyond impressive - and although I have many of them on DVD seeing them "large" is a great experience. I wish the final October 25th screening of HIGH NOON (I film that I absolutely love BTW) wasn't so late, as there will be a post film discussion with Maria Cooper, daughter of Gary Cooper, and Amanda Foreman, daughter of screenwriter Carl Foreman, moderated by Foster Hirsch.
Several years ago I borrowed Glenn Frankel's book: High Noon: The Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic from the library. And while I didn't a chance to really read it closely, it was fascinating.
* And don't forget that our guy Connery starred in a SCI-FI version of the story back in 1981!
