What would you do if that shadow from your past came back to haunt you? How would you react if that rude guy who you stiffed when you were working at McDonald's by only putting eight chicken nuggets in his order of ten suddenly reappeared, determined to exact terrible vengeance upon your entire family for the loss of his nugs? It's a frightening proposition, and one that, with a few different details, forms the basis of Cape Fear, a 1962 thriller based on The Executioners by John Macdonald, and the basis of that film's 1991 remake. The Cape Fear twins offer related but distinct visions of the eras in which they were made, which is why today's special episode of Magellans at the Movies delivers you two movies for the price of one. Join us, then, as we review, compare, and contrast the two film versions of Cape Fear, and be ever ready to repair to your houseboat in case your own Max Cady is hiding around the corner . . .
