We Are The Sprocket Holes vol. 482

 stand out viewing for the in-law CHUD show that was July.

(June


TRANSGRESSION (1994, dir. Michael P. DiPaolo)

starts by making more than the most of the format, then goes further beyond. easily makes the top 5 of SOV horror films. 


ANATOMIA EXTINCTION (1995, dir. Yoshihiro Nishimora)

Tokyo Gore Preamble. almost makes me wish the follow-up was shot on this grimy 16mm. 


TAXI HUNTER (1993, dir. Herman Yau)

the middle entry in Yau and Anthony Wong's Cat III Triad (situated between Untold Story and Ebola Syndrome) is maybe not as bleakly vicious as its bookends, but it is no slouch either. 


A CLASSIC HORROR STORY (2021, dir. Roberto De Feo / Paolo Strippoli) 

much more clever than i fear others will ever give it credit for. the twist will probably lose most people, but i don't think it really undermines the events that unfold ala April Fools Day, High Tension


SX_TAPE (2013, dir. Bernard Rose)

one of the meanest, horniest, and stress inducing found footage films i've ever seen. 


DEBRIS DOCUMENTAR (2012, dir. Marian Dora)

a thoroughly revolting companion piece to Dora incalculably upsetting Angel's Melancholy, where the development of that creation leads to the mutating ruin of its instigating curator. 


  SOUND OF VIOLENCE (2021, dir. Alex Noyer)

a noise artist reimagining of De Palma's Blow Out, playing its derangement with unwavering straight-facedness 


HONEYDEW (2020, dir. Deveraux Milburn) 

and with this inspired splicing of Midsommor and Skinned Deep (Midskinned?), i'm officially all in on the Dark Star Pictures bandwagon. take that A24 flesh and wrap it around some mid-80s splatter madness. 


SIEGE (1983. dir. Paul Donovan, Maura O'Connell)

flips the script of its times by making the right wing homophobes the bad guys.


MAIL ORDER MURDER: THE STORY OF W.A.V.E. PRODUCTIONS (2020, dir. William Hellfire, Ross Snyder)

"i want you in my life"
