ZOMBIE 108 - Absolutely f*cking ludicrous Taiwanese zombiefest which, although badly made on many, many levels, is also highly entertaining and bizarre enough to pass off some counterfeit originality as the real thing. Leaps from a standard zombie takeover storyline to one about a deformed sex pervert who molests babes in chains with a cuttlefish! Didn't think they made 'em like this anymore... potentially a future bad taste classic. Or maybe just the cinematic equivalent of drowning in a septic tank - you be the judge!

Rewatched Bad Lieutenant. N O T the Herzog film btw. Still a flawed masterpiece, was lucky enough to see this at the cinema on release. Now that's acting imo. 99 Women. Franco does it again, hmmm I'm sure I've seen that castle somewhere before you know? Only sour note was no cameo from the Jesus...c'est la vie. May watch the XXX version later today.

THE UGLIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD - Eccentric Spanish production has a lot going for it - a bit of sci-fi detective drama, a touch of Pythonesque Giallo (formerly ugly person wants to wipe out beauty pageant queens), weirdly Cronenbergian elements - but somehow for me never takes hold. Maybe the problem lies in the 'bit' of sci-fi detective drama, which should actually read 'too much' sci-fi det...etc..etc. Despite the drag factor which set my mind wandering through its less evocative passages, there are still plenty of interesting ideas and striking sequences and scenes - enough to make it a shame that it wasn't great. Still, it's definitely worth a watch. RETRIBUTION - Pure eighties textures abound in a movie which seems to encompass and concentrate the essence of VHS horror from roughly 1983-1990. I really enjoyed watching this, and frankly would take it over the likes of 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' or any of the 'dream-horror' 'originals' it seems to derive from any day. Some bits are clunky, but so 100% right - a dwarf flips a record at a party, and the whole scene changes - perfection! I'm sure that's a reference to something I'm too cine-illiterate to grasp. And who couldn't love a movie which features an Easter Island Head whose eyes gush blood? Not to mention an immaculately inconsequential appearance from 'Dr Rasta', who seemed like he might be more of a pivotal character at first. A bit of minor treasure rescued from the video graveyard - highly recommended. |
