![]() ![]() I thought it was very original and miles better than other ‘ghost stories’ I’ve read. ![]() ![]() I loved the story-line in Heart Shaped Box. He wants to haunt Jude because his relationship with his manic-depressive daughter/victim Anna ruined her and gave her the courage not to comply with the incestuous demands of Craddock and her sister. The ghost in Heart Shaped Box is a nasty old bastard called Craddock whose talents lie in hypnotism, dowsing, sexual abuse and murder. And none of the artefacts bring a vengeful old ghost with black scribbles over his eyes out of the shadows to chase Jude out of his home, and make him run for his life… The bones don’t make the dogs bark the movie doesn’t make Jude feel as if he’s being watched. But the rest of his collection doesn’t make the house feel cold. ![]() It was perfect for his collection: the genuine skulls and the bones, the real honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books and all the rest of the paraphernalia that goes along with his kind of hard/Goth rock. He bought it, in the shape of the dead man’s suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it: because his fans ate up that kind of story. ‘Buy my stepfather’s ghost’ read the e-mail. ![]()
