Old Weird and New Weird

This weeks reading and film that was recommended to watch was actually common in nowadays of weird film. The fact that it has monsters that are in a circus is actually seen a lot in monster films or anything to do with a fair coming into a small town. The thing that actually made me think this was any bit of weird, was the fact that the guy who was cheating on his girl with one of the circus performer. Unfortunately, he was getting played by her and getting his money taken without getting any sugar. Now with the novel Borne, It already shows a drastic change with the characters having weird creatures, drug dealers, and normal humans. With the drug dealer he didn't sell normal drugs like cocaine, shrooms, acid, and not even weed. Wick sold memory beetles that took away the painful memories people so desperately wanted to forget but couldn't. If we are comparing the two stories just by this little bit of information, in my opinion I'm gonna give it to the Borne novel because it has more stranger, weird, and creepy vibes to it than the old circus film. Now don't get me wrong I do love the classic weird films but this one lacked big time if you compared it to the other films that were being released in the same era. I personally think some of the older creeper weird films beat a lot of the new stuff that is coming out nowadays. It was a decent watch and a nice read for this week's blog.
