stand-out viewing for the stressful few years of November
(October)
AMULET (2020, dir. Romola Garai)
oh i get it.
SPUTNIK (2020, dir. Egor Abramenko)
like a less bonheaded version of Venom.
THE BLACK CAT (1989, dir. Luigi Cozzi)
a meta-sequel to Daria Nicolodi's (RIP) Three Mothers trilogy that was also released as a Demons sequel? if this was anymore of an Italian stereptype it would be using a large turtle shell as a hoverboard.
DOGS OF WAR (1980, dir. John Irvin)
like a way more existential, way less heroic take on the whole "assemble a team of bad asses to murder a dictator so we can install our own" thing.
BLACKOUT EXPERIMENTS (2016, dir. Rich Fox)
full disclosure; the part where the low-muttering woman in her underwear close-straddled the dude tied to a chair while making him fist-fuck a raw chicken gave me some tingly wingly in my special area. it's been a rough. few. weeks.
DIAL CODE: SANTA CLAUS (1989, dir. Rene Manzor)
like a Spielberg (or Spielberg-esque) holiday epic from a child murdering hell dimension populated by violent French art-whores.
BLUE MONKEY (1987, dir. William Fruet)
"what's a blue monkey?"
"well, it's not quite blue, and it's not quite a monkey, but maaaaaaaaaaan hahahahahahahaha.... so to answer your question i don't know."
CRAZY, NOT INSANE (2020, dir. Alex Gibney)
a fascinating, frustrating, and feeling look at how we fail us.
CATEGORY III: THE UNTOLD STORY OF HONG KONG EXPLOITATION CINEMA (2018, dir. Calum Waddell)
a deep dive into cinema's guttural id
COLD LIGHT OF DAY (1989, dir. Fhiona-Louise)
dumps floodlights upon the dismal alienation of a serial killer's private universe.
