Super 8 mm has become an almost extinct film format. Released in 1965 as an improvement over 8 mm film, Super 8 mm provided American (and abroad) families with a clearer format for home movies. Oddly enough (or not so when considering monetary factors), Super 8 mm would be later utilized by underground [...]

Season of the Witch

George A. Romero has made more failures than successes. Aside from the first three dead movies and Creepshow, I can’t say that I am big fan of Romero’s films. Season of the Witch is one of Romero’s early “experimental” films dealing with a woman that has decided to both [...]

Blind Beast

The world of touch… The world of insects… The lower orders such as the jellyfish… Those who venture to the edge of such worlds can expect only a dark, dank death to envelope them.
A blind man who scorns the thought of sight. He alone relishes the art of feeling. After discovering the statue of [...]

Beauty and the Beast

Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast is a brilliant exercise in the balance of realism and fantasy. Cocteau once again employed his simple yet very effective special effects to invoke a world of dreamlike detachment. The beast lives in a world of magnificent enchantment. His dark home features [...]

Destricted

Destricted is a compilation of seven short films by seven different directors expressing their views on sexuality and pornography. As can be expected, some are interesting and some are complete shit. Directors generally use short films as an opportunity to experiment with the film medium. Many of these directors are already virtual pornographers so the [...]

Harmony Korine’s directorial debut Gummo is a contemporary masterpiece. It is an art film that reflects contemporary western civilization (or the destruction of) better than any other of it’s kind (it is one of a kind). Mainstream film critics (petty propagandists) have almost unanimously attacked Gummo calling it everything from “pretentious trash” to a “sick [...]

The Phantom of Regular Size

AKA Futsu saizu no kaijin
This film, more than likely, won’t ring any bells or sound familiar at all. The Phantom of Regular Size is actually the prototype of the classic cyberpunk film Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Seeing as it’s a rough draft of sorts, there are differences aplenty.
The soundtrack is completely different. Most of it [...]

Bartleby

Bartleby is a slight re-visioning of Herman Melville’s unappreciated masterpiece Bartleby the Scrivener. When you adapt a novella about an enigmatic man who is solemnly creepy, of course you’d enlist Crispin Glover to play this role. Indeed he does, and with the fewest amount of lines, he manages to deeply haunt you long after the [...]

Romper Stomper

Romper Stomper is a great film because it lacks the in your face moral preaching often found in films of this nature. The film is like an update of Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange with a bizarre Neo-Nazi love triangle attached to it. I much rather prefer a film that shows skinheads committing [...]

Razortooth

One thing about me, I love “When Animals Attack!” films. There isn’t nothing more i like than watching a stupid teen spray No-Tear baby shampoo in a giant python’s eyes. When i saw the various posters for Razortooth, I expected this to be a shitty gem. A film that i can take to get-together’s and [...]
