SAVAGE ISLAND (1985) Grade: D+

No idea how this movie ended up on my list. But at least I could cross it off. Just a old "B" movie / grind house type film. Will actually be an interesting/average #Netflix movie w higher budget.

On April 24, 2020, Chopping Mall and Bloodsucking Freaks were screened as a double-feature on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs.

Here's some new art inspired by both grindhouse classics!

💥 🚀 for the lupin iii asks !

💥 - do you prefer the serious or more light-hearted content?

the tone doesn't matter to me as long as it's camp and ambitious. i tend to most enjoy what people consider the "serious" stuff, because historically "serious" lupin iii media favors truly wacko experimentation. like i really love all the koike movies because they're so juiced up on no-limits grindhouse rizz. i'm always like, "bro what" when people say they're serious lmao. like there's a carnivorous Karl Lagerfeld clone sniper who makes S&M robots and they fight him through the power of East German Government Surveillance. that's camp bitch.

🚀 - thoughts on the lupin viii pilot episode?

*puts head in hands* lupin viii is one of the five things i haven't seen... the other four being the detective conan stuff and two of the live action films*

*i have of course seen strange psychokinetic strategy, the greatest movie ever made.

A Final Girl (and Boy), Against the World

A Final Girl (And Boy), Against the World by dfcfanfics

Marinette Dupain-Cheng hates horror movies. So what is she doing at Bobby Joe Bloom's Eternal Grindhouse tour with Alya and Nino?

The blond boy sitting next to her explains that. But he's no horror fan, either.

By the time that they're done hiding their eyes and clinging to each other... will either one escape unchanged? Who will hold the popcorn, and what will be left of it by the last jump-scare? And, just maybe, could someone help them see these movies in a different kind of light?

On June 26, 2003, Bloodsucking Freaks was screened at the Moscow Film Festival.

[bitter69uk]

Recently watched: Fleshpot on 42nd Street (1973). Tagline: “Wilder than you can imagine! Explicit beyond belief! Meet them all! Hustlers and pimps! Pushers and S&M freaks! Straight guys and girls looking for thrills and one-night stands!” Sample dialogue: “It’s getting so you can’t give a blowjob on Times Square without some cop looking over your shoulder!” 

It’s fun to imagine the dirty mac brigade settling into their seats at some fleapit grindhouse cinema in the early seventies to watch some raunchy triple-X titillation – and instead being confronted by this grimly downbeat, profoundly unerotic character study about survival prostitution by maverick outsider gutter auteur Andy Milligan (1929 - 1991). There’s even mournful flute music on the soundtrack for maximum erection repellent. You could call Fleshpot a “gritty” genital warts-and-all slice of life – but “grubby” might be more accurate. 

Pretty brunette Dusty Cole is a street-smart and calculating sex worker barely eking out a hardscrabble existence in New York’s Times Square. Her hard-bitten demeanor begins to melt after a fluke encounter with handsome, sensitive and earnest young Wall Street banker Bob Walters. Can Dusty embrace the straight life and find true love and happiness in Staten Island with Bob? Spoiler alert: anyone familiar with Miligan’s pessimistic oeuvre will already know the answer is a resounding NO! 

Like Andy Warhol, John Waters and R W Fassbinder, Milligan populates his movies with his own repertory troupe of freaks and misfits – in his case, mostly drawn from the realms of underground off-Broadway theatre and pornography. The acting here is genuinely potent (some of the verbose monologues demanded of the actors are worthy of Tennessee Williams). Porn actress Laura Cannon imbues surprising delicacy, complexity and intelligence as constantly hustling, amoral anti-heroine Dusty. We glimpse the emotional toll of constantly living by her wits and the seemingly endless procession of encounters with creepy, unappealing men, and that everything Dusty does is tinged with desperation. (I love how Cannon tangibly goes into weary dead-eyed autopilot every time she begins disrobing). Always the most chivalrous and affable of seventies porn studs, young Harry Reems of Deep Throat notoriety (sans his trademark mustache) is painfully adorable as the idealistic Bob. And as Cherry Lane, Dusty’s sassy aging drag queen roommate and fellow working girl, Neil Flanagan – and his matted bouffant wig - steals every scene. 

Thematically and stylistically, Fleshpot is analogous to Flesh (1968), Trash (1970) and Heat (1972), the trilogy of Warhol-produced underground films directed by Paul Morrissey, and the early works of John Waters. What separates Milligan from Morrissey and Waters is the ferocity of his misanthropy and nihilism. He takes a decidedly jaundiced perspective on concepts like “free love” and sexual liberation. Apart from Bob, none of the characters could be described as “sympathetic.” The film offers a vividly grungy cinema verité document of decrepit pre-gentrification seventies New York. Every character in Fleshpot lives in squalor and escapes to drown their sorrows at depressing dimly lit dive bars. Milligan was gay and the sexuality on display here is refreshingly polymorphous: the ostensibly hetero male tricks take a surprisingly pragmatic open mind when it comes to the gender of their sex workers (Dusty and Cherry share clients). The world Milligan evokes packs an undeniable lowlife allure, but you wouldn't want to live there. Warning: the ugly racial epithets casually thrown around by Cherry are authentic to the period and character but wildly offensive to modern ears (prepare to flinch!). There are two versions of Fleshpot in circulation: grainy and softcore (on Amazon Prime) and digitally remastered and hardcore (via Vinegar Syndrome’s website).

Swamp Dogs: House of Crows #1 by J M Brandt, Theo Prasidis and Kewber Baal. Cover by Robert Sammelin. Variant cover by Solo Macello. Out in October.

“Black Caravan Imprint. They came from the swamp... the scummiest squad of Confederate soldiers, brought back to life by powerful Voodoo magic. They crave power, carnage, and female flesh! They are the Swamp Dogs! Now, young lovers Ayana and Violet, and their friends from the goofy stoner metal band The Grunch, will unknowingly fall into their ghoulish nest. Bear witness to a rollicking gorefest straight out of the shocking grindhouse and revengeful blaxploitation of the 1970s, and the cult horror classics of the 1980s... with a modern twist.”

Dune Regarder Film - https://dune-vf.blogspot.com/

L'héritier de la célèbre maison des Atréides, Paul, se rend avec sa famille sur l'une des planètes les plus dangereuses de l'Univers - Arrakis. Il n'y a rien ici que du sable, un soleil brûlant, des monstres géants et la principale cause des conflits intergalactiques - une ressource incroyablement précieuse appelée mélange. À la suite de la prise du pouvoir, Paul est obligé de courir et de se cacher, et cela devient le début de son voyage épique. Le monde hostile d'Arrakis lui a préparé de nombreuses épreuves difficiles, mais seuls ceux qui sont prêts à affronter leur peur sont dignes de devenir l'élu.

Mon appréciation de Dune va à l'encontre de tous les algorithmes connus de l'homme. Sur le papier, ce n'est pas un film pour moi. Science-fiction dure avec sabotage politique interstellaire ? Passe. Des sociétés secrètes avec des super-pouvoirs et une figure christique adolescente ? Ce sera un non de ma part, mon pote. Mais je serai damné si je ne me suis pas amusé à regarder les 2 heures et 40 minutes.

En apparence, c'est un opéra spatial sur le destin, mais tissé dans ce cadre familier est une discussion philosophique sur les dangers des figures de sauveur. Ou à tout le moins, c'est ce qu'il vend dur pour sa seconde moitié. Dune a longtemps été considéré comme un roman impossible à filmer, mais nous y sommes. Et n'ayant jamais lu un mot de ce roman, je suis convaincu que ces deux films sont la seule adaptation du célèbre classique de Frank Herbert dont nous aurons jamais besoin. Dune de Denis Villeneuve a célébré sa première nord-américaine au Festival international du film de Toronto 2021. Cliquez ICI pour suivre notre couverture complète du festival et assurez-vous de nous faire savoir si vous êtes excité de voir Dune (et si vous avez envie de justifier pourquoi je devrais enfin lire ces foutus livres) sur Twitter, dans le Nightmare on Film officiel Street Subreddit, et sur Facebook dans le Horror Movie Fiend Club !

Si vous n'avez pas lu les livres Dune de Frank Herbert et que vous ne pensez pas être le public cible de Dune de Denis Villeneuve, cette critique est pour vous. Je n'aime pas les histoires épiques, je ne suis pas dingue de la science-fiction / des trucs médiévaux / fantastiques durs, et j'esquive les appels constants de mes amis à lire les livres depuis des années. Mais voici la chose… J'ai vraiment creusé ce film dang. Je ne sais pas si c'était la présentation IMAX, la simplification sournoise du monde complexe d'Herbert, ou la moitié d'un comestible que j'avais avant d'entrer, mais j'ai apprécié le diable de ce spectacle de science-fiction de 165 millions de dollars.

Vous avez probablement déjà entendu dire que Dune est, en fait, Dune: Part One. C'était une déception immédiate pour moi, personnellement, mais il est assez évident même dans les dix premières minutes du film qu'essayer de bourrer toute cette saga dans un seul film serait un cauchemar (voir: David Lynch's Dune). Du côté positif, Dune est également un candidat parfait pour l'approche mini-série/multi-saisons, nous devrions donc tous remercier nos chanceuses étoiles que nous ne sommes pas sur le point de nous retrouver avec une autre adaptation trop allongée. Alors, de quoi parle Dune ? Il serait peut-être plus facile de le considérer comme un croisement entre Star Wars et Game of Thrones. C'est très politique et construit comme un jeu d'échecs, mais il y a aussi des vers des sables géants qui mangent des gens, Stellan Skarsgård (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) lévitant dans un gros costume et Jason Momoa (The Bad Batch) comme un dur à cuire absolu. TLDR ; Il existe une planète inhospitalière où les futures civilisations récoltent une épice coûteuse utilisée pour les voyages spatiaux interstellaires. Tout le monde est prêt à tuer pour le contrôle de cette planète, mais elle est également habitée par un groupe de nomades du désert qui utilisent l'épice pour ses propriétés hallucinogènes (comme le peyotl ou les champignons magiques). Ces indigènes croient aussi en un « élu » qui les libérera un jour de leurs oppresseurs et (surprise, surprise) le fils de leur nouveau chef pourrait bien être le sauveur qu'ils attendaient.

Je suis sûr que beaucoup de cela semble familier. Vous pourriez même affirmer qu'il s'agit d'une histoire de «voyage de héros» copiée et passée comme n'importe quel autre blockbuster de plusieurs millions de dollars. Il est plus probable que les romans de Frank Herbert aient influencé la narration à grande échelle au cours des dernières décennies, mais peu importe ce qui est venu en premier. Il s'agit d'une structure d'histoire que vous connaissez déjà. Remplacez les mots « Conseil Jedi » par « Bene Gesserit » et « Maison Lannister » par « Maison Harkennon », et vous y êtes presque. Alors pourquoi devriez-vous voir Dune ? Plus précisément, pourquoi devriez-vous voir Dune si vous êtes le genre de personne qui ne pense pas que ce sera sa tasse de thé ? Eh bien, d'une part, c'est étonnamment facile à suivre. Entendre mes amis se perdre dans la minutie des philosophies de Dune a toujours été un défi pour moi (et s'il y a une chose que je déteste dans la science-fiction et la fantasy, c'est de devoir apprendre tout un tas de nouveaux mots) mais je vous promets que vous le ferez. Ne vous perdez pas dans de la camelote maquillée pour le plaisir de la camelote maquillée. Appelez-moi stupide autant que vous voulez, mais je ne pense pas qu'on devrait vous donner un glossaire à étudier avant de voir un film. Je pense que vous devriez pouvoir vous asseoir sans aucune connaissance préalable et en profiter autant que quelqu'un qui s'est imprégné des livres originaux.

IMAX est vraiment le format dans lequel vous voulez voir ce film si vous n'êtes pas un inconditionnel de Dune. Il y a quelques changements de rapport d'aspect qui sont un peu discordants, mais cela aide vraiment, vraiment à vendre l'attrait de ce monde. C'est vaste, c'est expansif, et il y a un sacré paysage sonore, sans parler d'une partition en plein essor de M. Boom Score lui-même, Hans Zimmer. Vous voulez vraiment le meilleur système audio devant lequel vous pouvez mettre vos oreilles pour vraiment comprendre tout cela. C'est comme écouter un orchestre symphonique. Ils sonnent bien sur les enceintes Bose, mais ils sonnent irréels en direct et en personne. La cinématographie de Greg Fraiser est magnifique mais, visuellement, sa qualité la plus impressionnante pourrait être son mélange homogène d'éléments pratiques et numériques. Vous ne pouvez vraiment pas dire où se termine le train d'atterrissage fabriqué à la main et où commence le vaisseau spatial de la taille de Manhattan. C'est le genre de film qui est susceptible de remporter les récompenses les plus techniques aux Oscars, y compris les costumes, car c'est une pièce d'époque de part en part. La période se trouve être 10, 191 après JC.

Soyez assuré que Dune (le film) n'est pas la forteresse impénétrable que vous avez toujours supposée être Dune (le livre). Des personnages complexes avec une histoire et des motivations à vie sont réduits à leurs échanges les plus essentiels d'un casting de stars comprenant Rebecca Ferguson (Doctor Sleep) Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) et Oscar Isacc (Ex Machina) arborant une barbe qui pourrait arrêter la circulation. Comme ce fut le cas avec Game of Thrones, nous ne faisons qu'effleurer la surface avec cette poignée de noms. Il y a toute une série de personnages secondaires arborant une technologie cool, des tasses méchantes et des yeux bleus géniaux, dont Javier Bardem (mère!), Josh Brolin (Grindhouse: Death Proof), Zendaya (Spider-Man: Far From Home) et Dave Bautista ( Armée des morts).

Werewolves on Wheels (1971)

“I have always loved free coffee. As kids, my friends and I would ride our skateboards around to each church in the area on Sunday morning, helping ourselves to the breakfast table before riding off to cause more minor trouble. Nobody said shit (for church reasons I assumed), and a few awkward moments was well worth some shitty coffee to me at the time. It was fun, mostly because of the free coffee, but I also derived some kind of pleasure from the holy dine and dash itself. Nowadays though, when I think back on those moments, I'm sure I must have dodged a bullet. What the fuck was I thinking? Knowing what I know now, Im lucky I made it. What if they were just letting us get away with it? They could have been making us think we were making off with some free donuts, when in reality we were opening ourselves up to their freaky drugs or potions (as opposed to just passive aggression). That could have been the plan the whole time-- entice a bunch heathens with snacks and refreshments with plans for torture, a curse of some kind, brainwashing experiments, or who knows what else. I have learned a lot from cult films (about cults in particular) and one of those lessons is, that you should never take food from religious groups. I definitely know better now. I certainly do not go seeking out pastries from zealots, and when offered, I politely decline or duck away to dispose of the likely tainted specimen. It’s a wonder I made it this far, drinking the liquids that cult members handed me like a naïf in my youth. The older wiser me knows that drinking from the wrong cup, from the right church (or maybe vice-versa) can end terribly. One swig and it's lights out, then you might wake up as a live sacrifice, possessed, or fucking knocked up by a god-monster. No coffee is worth that. I'm not going to say free refreshments don't exist, but if a bunch of similarly dressed dudes offer you some snacks, on their way to do some chanting, you should probably just pass. it could end up biting you in the ass like in Werewolves on Wheels (1971)...” - RevTerry

10/31 PART II - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Terror Films

SYNOPSIS: 10/31 Part 2 is the second installment of the popular Halloween themed anthology series that taps the  directors, actors and composers from the indie film world and brings them all together to tell their tales of terror that pays homage to the classic genre films.

REVIEW: 10/31 PART 2 is anthology series that has all the bells and whistles of the grindhouse type films we would go see as double features at second run cinemas. The anthology features a few shorts presented as trailers (The October Kids, Trucksquatch, Treaters, Apache Hatchet Massacre 2 and The Candy Taker)  and three short films (Malvolia, A Samhain Liturgy, Sister Mary, and Dead Lift). The trailer presentations reflect a variety of styles of genre films that begin this trip down memory lane. You can’t go wrong with a trailer when they are done well. They present just enough plot points so you get the story concept. The four long narratives offer a variety of different types of genre tales and are engaging. There are a few moments when the dialogue falls flat but for the most part the dialogue and plots are engaging.

For a home grown independent production each of the filmmakers show an excellent and creative working knowledge of their craft. The level of the special effects vary a bit between productions, but overall they were solid for a low budget production. There are some good locations, skilled editing, and good shot framing. Producer Rocky Gray also scored the film. He provides some excellent compositions that are reminiscent of numerous classic genre films, and clearly a nod to the scores of John Carpenter.

Overall, the talent was solid. Some of the trailer segments had performances that were a bit kitschy, and once in a while a line delivered is worthy of a groan, but even the dark stories you never lose that sense of overall fun.

10/31 PART 2 is guerilla filmmaking at its finest. I’m not typically a fan of films that try to pay homage to classic genre films, but this anthology gets it right. You feel that they are paying homage to these classic films, and not trying to remake them or reinvent the genre. The films take their craft seriously and have fun with the material. There are some excellent makeup effects and I loved the score. Yes, it’s gory but there’s nothing here that you could sit down and watch with the tween members of the family. There is some real talent in front of and behind the camera, and I’m interested to see what they do next.

CAST: Jennifer Nangle, London Grace, Anastasia Elfman, David E. McMahon, Tim Robinson, Rhema Srihartiti and Tiffany Kiely. CREW: Directors - Tory Van Buskirk ("A Samhain Liturgy, Sister Mary"), Stephen Wolfe ("Dead Lift"), Drew Marvick (Over Kill), Jennifer Nangle (“Malvolia”) and Max Groah (Apache Hatchet Massacre 2); Producer/ Composer - Rocky Gray; Cinematographers - David M. Quakenbush, Joey Spillane and Ken Whiting; Editor - John DeJesus; Visual Effects - Juan Vera Jr. and Zero Dark; Special Makeup Effects Artists - Midian Crosby and Kevon Ward. OFFICIAL: N.A.
