Murder Obsession (Follia omicida, 1981)

"Why are you interested in the occult?"

"The only way to discover life's secret is through magic."

"I don't understand."

"Death. That exact moment when the body and soul separate, that which in theosophy is known as the astral body. We would have to capture that exact moment to analyse it, but to do this we would have to kill with our own hands, so that not even a wisp of life escapes us. Don't you agree?"

"And would you kill someone for this?"

"I think so."

Lorenza e Maurizio - “L’urtimo romano”

L’unico brano originale dedicato all’indimenticato Gigi Proietti

 Una canzone scritta nel 2020 e ripresa oggi, con una nuova veste, cantata e accompagnata da un video con amici e colleghi del grande attore romano. Il brano nasce il giorno stesso della scomparsa di Gigi Proietti, il 2 novembre 2020.

 «Appresa la notizia, ancora frastornati e commossi, ci mettiamo poco tempo a capire che dobbiamo fare un omaggio al più grande. È un moto spontaneo di gratitudine che ci porta a decidere di dedicargli una canzone, che riassuma i momenti più importanti della sua carriera e i personaggi più conosciuti dal pubblico. Lavoriamo poche ore e il brano è pronto. Con la stessa emozione con la quale scriviamo cominciamo a prendere contatti con alcuni allievi, attori, musicisti che hanno lavorato con lui» Lorenza e Maurizio

 La canzone viene accolta da tutti con commovente slancio e incoraggiante entusiasmo. Ogni artista manda un video-selfie con una parte del brano e il ritornello cantato, costretti dalle regole del lockdown. Nasce così un primo video de “L’urtimo romano” che viene diffuso dal Comune di Roma, dal Messaggero, da Leggo, dal Mattino e da varie radio locali.

 Dopo tre anni, grazie all’incontro con alcuni dei musicisti storici di Gigi Proietti - Mario Vicari, Giorgio Rosciglione, Gegè Munari, Mariano Perrella dei Pandemonium - il brano può essere registrato dal vivo. Al coro prendono parte alcuni tra gli artisti che hanno già partecipato al primo video ed altri che, con lo stesso entusiasmo iniziale, rispondono al Maestro e all’omaggio a lui dedicato: Stefano Ambrogi, Francesca Antonelli, Concetta Ascrizzi, Duska Bisconti, Roberto D’Alessandro, Paolo Gasparini, Francesco Lodolo, Fulvia Lorenzetti, Alberto Patelli, Lino Patruno, Silvio Vannucci, Massimiliano Virgilii. Altri inviano un video-messaggio di saluto affettuoso: Roberto Accornero, Edy Angelillo, Vincenzo Avolio, Carlo Cartier, Paola Tiziana Cruciani, Lucianna De Falco, Luisa De Santis, Pietro De Silva, Luca Manfredi, Stefano Masciarelli, Francesca Nunzi, Claudio Pallottini, Donatella Pandimiglio, Piero Pintucci, Marco Simeoli, Angelo Sorino, Giorgio Tirabassi, Gianfranco Teodoro, Massimo Wertmüller, Marco Zadra.

 La copertina è opera del celebre disegnatore satirico e musicista Stefano Disegni, amico anch’egli di Gigi Proietti e coautore del suo programma tv “Cavalli di battaglia”.

 Nasce così “L’urtimo romano”, un video ufficiale girato da Max Minoia che accompagna il singolo nella sua versione 2023, intriso di emozione, gratitudine e amore.

 Maurizio Carlini

Maurizio Carlini è cantautore e compositore di musica leggera, canzoni popolari, musiche per la tv, canzoni per bambini e canzoni dialettali romane. È stato co-direttore artistico dello spazio giovani del folkstudio. Ha realizzato l’opera “Storia d'Italia attraverso le canzoni popolari” con l’ensemble di musica popolare Pueblo Unido, distribuita in 150.000 copie in tutta italia dal settimanale Avvenimenti. Ha collaborato con onlus e associazioni come Amnesty International, Peter Pan, Campagna Internazionale contro le mine antiuomo, Aism (lotta alla sclerosi multipla), Gianni Rodari onlus, Mais (progetti sviluppo Madagascar e Brasile); in questa direzione rivolta al sociale ha realizzato il cd e relativo videoclip “W l’amore” in difesa dei diritti degli omosessuali.

Nel 2003 inizia una collaborazione con la Rai che dura tuttora e che lo porta a comporre accompagnamenti e sottofondi per trasmissioni come Uno mattina, La vita in diretta, Mi manda Raitre, Kilimangiaro, Ballarò, Geo&Geo, Cominciamo bene, Linea verde, Linea blu, Mediterraneo e in radio Il cammello di Radio due e Piccoli comuni (Isoradio).

È con lei, infatti, che dal 2015 ad oggi Maurizio condivide la sua attività artistica, formando il duo Lorenza e Maurizio. I due mettono in scena attraverso i laboratori teatrali del comune di Roma la commedia musicale romanesca “Impunita” e si esibiscono a Roma in Piazza Navona come artisti di strada.

In questo studio i due artisti realizzano i loro cd singoli “Io e boh” (Lorenza) e “Il figlio della sarta” (Maurizio); quest’ultimo dà il nome anche al docufilm sui 40 anni di carriera artistica di Maurizio, per la regia di Giovanni Pirri.

Nel 2020 il duo realizza la canzone “L’urtimo romano” scritta il giorno stesso della scomparsa di Gigi Proietti, da cui nasce un primo video-tributo collettivo in cui a cantare la canzone appaiono amici, allievi e collaboratori dell’attore.

Da questa esperienza nasce lo spettacolo “Sonavo er contrabbasso… cioè, me ce appoggiavo” un tributo a Gigi Proietti che racconta la sua carriera attraverso le canzoni che l'hanno caratterizzata". Nel 2022 realizzano la canzone "Carrozzella romana” per Rodolfo Laganà, sul tema delle barriere architettoniche, il cui video omonimo è realizzato ancora una volta dal regista Giovanni Pirri per la giornata mondiale per la lotta alla sclerosi multipla. Per la presentazione del video, Lorenza e Maurizio partecipano all’edizione del Fiaba day 2022 in Piazza Colonna a Roma, davanti a Palazzo Chigi (presidenza del Consiglio). Nel 2023 Lorenza e Maurizio realizzano il video ufficiale della canzone “L’urtimo romano” dedicata a Gigi Proietti, con la collaborazione di 36 artisti che hanno lavorato con Gigi nel corso della sua carriera.

Don’t Mind the Glowing, Ominous Hole in the Wall. That’s Just a Gateway to Evil. “Beyond Darkness” reviewed! (Severin / Blu-ray)

A witch acolyte of Ameth, an underworld demon, is executed on multiple counts of child murder.  The priest who oversaw the witch’s last rites came in with a doubtful heart and upon researching Ameth through an unholy book, disavowed his own religion only to fall into a near drunken stupor of atheism.  Months later, a new priest and his family move into a home arranged by the archdiocese, but soon…

Deep Blood (1990) will give you cinematic thrombosis. #SharkWeak4🦈 #Review

Reaching deep into the chum bucket of bad shark movies for Shark Weak 4, I’ve managed to dredge up the cinematic equivalent of a decomposing fish head in the form of 1990’s spectacularly awful Italian sharksploitation flick DEEP BLOOD. Four friends head off on vacation but when a killer shark starts to terrorise the beach community where they’re staying and kills one of their number, the…

"Absurd" Official Motion Picture Soundtrack (1982) - Carlo Maria Cordio

[brokehorrorfan]

Album Review: Troll 2 (Original Soundtrack)

Between its terrible acting, nonsensical script, and inept direction, it's hard to argue against the widely accepted notion that Troll 2 is one of the worst movies of all time. The film's infamy has resulted in a wide array of merchandising opportunities, including midnight screenings, Blu-ray releases, a feature-length documentary, apparel, and now the soundtrack.

Aside from the undeniable entertainment value that comes from the so-bad-it's-good movie, the one area in which Troll 2 succeeds is its score. While the production was a mess, composer Carlo Maria Cordio (Pieces, Absurd) was left to his own devices to write the music. Like the film is a bizarre blend of horror and comedy, so too is the score an eclectic mix of genres.

"Like an Emerald Green" opens the album with delicate, serene instrumentation before ominous synthesizer notes take over. It leads into "Goblins Are Coming," the rock jam that plays over the film's opening titles. The score that follows is largely composed of brooding synth, but the occasional rock number ("Desperate Sprint in the Forest," "Wail of Terror") sneaks its way in, often accompanied by wailing guitar.

The songs that score some of the more bizarre scenes in the movie (which is full of them) are appropriately strange themselves. "Witch of Popcorn" is a vaudevillian menagerie of horn, organ, and guitar sounds emulated by a keyboard. The aptly-title "Na-Na Song," which kicks off the B-side, is a bluegrass tune with creepy, choral singing. It's fitting in the movie, but it feels out of place among the rest of the soundtrack - and it's the longest track to boot.

The full score wouldn't fit on a single LP, but the folks at Lunaris Records did a fine job paring it down, leaving 18 tracks that clock in at nearly 42 minutes. They smartly opted not to include "A Green Pottage," "Tennessee Roads," and "Carousel of Vegetables" - three off-kilter songs that would have interrupted the flow of the music. The unabridged soundtrack can be purchased on CD, which also features four bonus tracks not in the film.

The Troll 2 score is a good listen, no doubt, but its packaging is what makes the record really stand out. It’s housed in a diecut jacket with a reversible inner sleeve, so you can choose to have either Joshua Waits (the film's young, unfortunate protagonist) or a goblin (because, of course, there are no trolls in Troll 2) peering through the green slime. It's a simple but effective design, illustrated to perfection by artist Devon Whitehead.

Whitehead's handiwork is also showcased on the insert, which offers a collage of Nilbog's kooky characters. The insert's reverse side features an exclusive interview with Cordio. The pressing is available in two color variants: transparent neon green vinyl from retailers and woodland camo vinyl exclusively from Lunaris' webstore.

While Troll 2 is enjoyable in its incompetence, the soundtrack can be appreciated on its own merits. Coupled with the creative packaging, Lunaris Records' vinyl release of Carlo Maria Cordio's Troll 2 score is a must-own not only for fans of the 1990 cult classic but also for soundtrack aficionados.

Troll 2 (Original Soundtrack) is available now on vinyl, CD, and cassette via Lunaris Records.

Howdy all you Supercultists out there on the interwebz! I’m Bad Movie Professor Cameron Coker (BS in “The Best Worst Movie” with a minor in “Vegetarian Vampires ”) and I’ll be posting my hype-tacular speeches every week along with some long lost speeches from past Supercult Shows!

This week Supercult tries desperately to woo female passerby after learning deadly seduction techniques from Troll 2!

It’s time for the Waits family vacation! Time for small town comforts, relaxation, and good eats. Unfortunately, they won’t be doing the eating. Young Joshua Waits soon discovers that the quiet vacation town isn’t all that it seems and that his family is being targeted by man-eating monsters. Can he warn his family and escape from this nightmare made real? Be afraid… be TWICE as afraid with Troll 2!

This illustration of trolls pains an unrealistically high standard for the costume work in this film.

Eat this magic ice cream filled with sap spoon fed to you by a monster and a bunch of creepy townsfolk. It’ll be FINE!

“Let me give you some helpful advice, you… dwarves. Get out of here… or you will be in a lot of trouble.”

There are some generally gruesome moments in the film that hint at a decent horror premise. Then someone speaks and the moment is ruined.

…Seriously?

Joshua: A double-decker bologna sandwich! Creedence: Aaahhh! Think about the cholesterol! Think about… THE TOXINS…!

Deborah Reed, the goblin queen of Troll 2, had to create her own costume for the film from her own wardrobe since nothing the crew could find looked appropriate for the part. She owned virtually everything she wears on camera and it suffered some pretty substantial green goop abuse on set.

I’m your dead Grandpa! Have a Molotov cocktail!

YOU CAN’T PISS ON HOSPITALITY!

Apparently, after the actor’s character is transformed into a humanoid tree, the director nailed his shoes into a potted plant and had him stand still there for 14 hours. Classic Hollywood!

Manos: The Hands of Fate, The Room, Plan 9 From Outer Space…these are movies that many refer to as “the worst films ever made”. Troll 2 walks up to those movies and smears green goop in their faces and pisses on their dinner. About everything you could possibly imagine could go wrong, did go wrong during this film. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. First let’s talk about Harry Potter.

In 1986 Charles Brand produced Troll, a fantasy comedy film about a family moving into a new apartment complex in San Francisco only to discover that in the transition their daughter has been possessed by a magical creature plotting to transform the entire apartment into a forested fantasy microcosm of elves, nymphs, goblins, and (you guessed it) trolls. Charles Brand produced the film while heading Empire International Pictures, his personal indie-studio which released such seminal classics as Assault of the Killer Bimbos, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, and Supercult Classic Robot Jox. Later Charles would fold up Empire and start a new studio, Full Moon Features, which would go on to produce Supercult Classic Dollman. By all accounts Troll was a mediocre piece of dark fantasy whose most interesting factoid is that, quite by coincidence, the family in the film is named the Potter family including Harry Potter Sr. and his teenage son Harry Potter Jr.

Okay, now put that aside for a sec while we pivot to Italy where Rosella Drudi, wife of director Claudio Fragasso, was frustrated at the fact that several of her friends were becoming vegetarians. Look, we’ve all been there, especially when they start handing you leaflets, recommending Netflix documentaries, and sharing articles with you on facebook. However, few of us have been so frustrated that we write a film script. The script, originally titled “Goblins” depicts the titular monsters as vegetarians only able to eat plant matter, so the monsters force people to eat special foods that convert them into vegetable paste. Rosella said, “I came up with a story about [goblins] who were vegetarians because at that point in my life, I had many friends who’d become vegetarians and it pissed me off…So I had the idea of replacing the vampires in the [traditional] vampire story with vegetarians.” Little did she know, she was writing the script to what would later become the worst film ever created.

Troll 2 was produced by Eduard Sarlui and Joe D’Amato, an Italian exploitation film director notorious for his view that film profitability is more important than their entertainment value (I mean, a lot of producers think that, but he was notorious for saying it out loud, I guess?). As a result, many components of the film were created on a shoe-string budget. The score, composed by Carlo Maria Cordio, was played entirely on a Korg M1 synthesizer and consisted of a few brief themes repeated over and over, including a sped-up M1 demo track. The costumes were designed by D’Amato’s longtime friend and frequent collaborator Laura Gemser, who made a name for herself as a 70s and 80s grindhouse and erotic film actress. The costumes consisted of burlap sacks and rubber Halloween masks (some of which were reused in later D’Amato films) and one mask that was licensed off the set of the original Troll film, only one of which was modified to have a movable mouth. The whole film’s estimated budget comes to around $200,000. For comparison that’s %0.2 of the Budget for The Rock starring Nic Cage, 1% of the budget for Vampire’s Kiss, also starring Nic Cage, %57.1 of the budget of Valley Girls also starring Nic Cage, or approx. 10 times the budget of Manos: The Hands of Fate, unfortunately not starring Nic Cage.

The entire film was shot on location in Morgan and Porterville, Utah in the summer of 1989, presumably for the sake of reducing costs. The production crew was made up almost entirely of non-English-speaking Italians including the husband and wife co-directors Claudio Fragasso and Rossella Drudi. Though the cast had a few experienced actors, most were assembled from residents of nearby towns who responded to an open casting call hoping for roles as extras. Little did they know they would wind up with starring roles in one of the best/worst things to happen in all of cinema. According to George Hardy, who played Michael Waits, was (and still is) a dentist with no acting experience who showed up for fun only to be given one of the film’s largest roles. Pon Packard, who played the store owner, was actually a patient at a nearby mental hospital. He was cast and filmed his entire role while on a day trip and later recalled that he had smoked an enormous amount of marijuana prior to filming, had no idea what was happening around him, and that his disturbed “performance” in the film was not acting.

George Hardy said the script suffered from a major language barrier and was only given to them scene-by-scene: “The way it was written was not the way Americans speak. One of us would say to Claudio … ‘This is not the way you say this in America.’ But they would say, ‘No, no, no, this is the way you do it.’ We just did what we were told. I think that was because of the language barrier. How can you argue with someone who doesn’t understand what you’re saying?” Even if they weren’t forced to read the script as written, it wouldn’t save the film from being about evil vegetarian goblins and one boy’s crusade to talk to his dead grandpa and pee on all the food to protect his family. Oh, did I not mention that? Yeah, you were probably thinking that the infamous “Oh my God!” scene was the cream of the crop. Get this: to keep his family from eating a face-full of goblin contaminated food young Joshua, played by Michael Stephenson, stands up on the table and urinates on everything. “In the original script I jump on the table and I say, ‘I’m possessed, I’m possessed,’” Stephenson told Entertainment Weekly. But as soon as this scene was actually performed, Fragasso decided to tweak it. “You!” he told Stephenson. “You walk around the table, up to the chair, and piss on this food.” The child actor was speechless: “I [thought], ‘Did I just hear this right?’” Stephenson recalled. Still, he followed Fragasso’s directions. Little did he know he would later that kid grew up, had kids, and have to tell them about his 5 minutes of fame on the set of the worst film ever created. Count your goddamn blessings, Supercultists!

By now you must be wondering what all this has to do with the original Troll film, the Potters, and the plot about a mischievous creature turning 80s malcontents into Norse mythology clichés. Well, nothing, actually. Troll 2 has absolutely no connection to the original Troll film and technically isn’t a sequel. The creatures in Troll 2 are referred to as goblins or hobgoblins and the word troll is never once uttered on camera. The distributors in the US felt that the film would not succeed on its own as a stand-alone project, so they insisted it be named Troll 2 to capitalize on the minor success of the original Troll film…which is like naming the first in a new line of luxury airplanes the Titanic 2 to capitalize on the minor success of the ocean liner.

Troll has a 2.8 on IMDB and a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, but sources say that it at one time had a 0%. It’s been featured on RiffTrax, been the subject of a high profile internet meme, and has been compared to Rocky Horror Picture Show in terms of its cult appeal. Trolls is so bad that, like the Room, it has had books, and films created about its ill-fated production process, most notably 2010’s Best Worst Movie, from which I am shamelessly stealing many quotes and factoids. Nevertheless, the film got two weird pseudo-sequels. Confusingly, both Quest for the Mighty Sword (1990) and The Crawlers (1993) are also known as Troll 3. Both have a mere tangential relationship to Troll 2 or the original Troll film. So, to keep this strained metaphor going, it’s like naming a skyscraper Titanic 3 and then a line of toaster pastries Titanic 3, because the pastries were made in the same town as the plane and the skyscraper has one of the people who worked on the plane working in it.

As with many films dubbed “the worst film ever” Troll 2 is by far not the worst thing ever. It is made by competent filmmakers with a solid understanding of lighting and cinematography. It had what some would call a budget. There are many films that are technically worse from craftsmanship perspective. Show me an iPhone, $200,000, and an average college film class and I will show you a worse film than Troll 2. No, what makes Troll 2, The Room, or Plan 9 the worst films of all time is that they were made by competent people who, little did they know, were actually working to create something laughably bad. It’s the “little did they know” affect that turns horrible tragedy into gut-busting comedy. There is something poetic, like an Aristotelian drama, about the creation of a film that is so bad that it’s good. Aristotle wrote on the principles of a tragic hero, that they must be not too good, too pitiful, nor too evil, that they must be highly renowned and prosperous, and that their misfortune must befall not from vice or depravity but by some error or frailty. This is how you create a story that creates both pity, for unmerited misfortune, and fear that the same could conceivably happen to ourselves. Troll 2 and many other Supercult Classics are perfect tragedies of well-meaning people setting off to accomplish something grand and realizing only after the fact that they’ve created a monster. So why is this tragic tale so gosh darn funny? Simple: Tragedy plus time is comedy.

Tonight we revel in that tragicomedy! Get out your green milk and your yellow shirts than inexplicably change half-way through the film! One was not enough!
