stand-out viewing for the __________ of April
(March)
do you mind: i have a 12 year old Gareth Evans film to cross off my list.
Torture Garden gets the A24 treatment.
IRONMASTER (1983, dir. Umberto Lenzi)
Lenzi's take on the macho fantasy genre ends up being much smarter than even the material its pilfering from.
THE ILLUMINATION OF JIM WOODRING (2019, dir. Chris Brandt)
a sensational introduction to one of the unsung giants of cartooning.
THE CLEANING LADY (2018, dir. Jon Knautz)
for some reason i found this film's unceasing nastiness extremely refreshing.
BLOODY MUSCLE BODY BUILDER IN HELL (2012, dir. Shinichi Fukazawa)
if Evil Dead was shot in the basement of a tenement building for the cost of a baloney sandwich.
BLASTFIGHTER (1984, dir. Lamberto Bava)
if you need a primer of everything wonderful about 1980s Italian genre cinema, its all here. it's even got a goddamn BeeGees cover on the soundtrack.
BENEATH (2013, dir. Larry Fessenden)
takes the bitterly comedic misanthropy of "the Raft" segment from Creepshow 2 and drives it even further into the depths of pessimistic delight.
29 NEEDLES (2019, dir. Scott Philip Goergens)
somewhere between Portraits of Andrea Palmer and Marian Dora's excavations of the Id.
