stand-out viewing for the uterine lining ping-pong trick that was April.
(March)
would make a great double bill w/ Inside.
Deodato's still got it.
another one crossed off my House of Psychotic Women bucket list.
ignore the "giallo" tag. this is much more of a bleak coming of age drama with burst of messy, brutal violence.
forced perspective pinku-violence yarn that feels more like a Nikatsu Roman Porno than any of the films released under that label for the last five years.
easily the best film Hopper ever directed. makes a great you-wouldn't-think-there-are-parallels-but-there-are double feature with the aforementioned Hotel Fear (frustrated young lady protagonists who escape into their own imagined idea of a world beyond their oppressive, predatory, and abandonment-heavy surroundings).
pretty strong first half that loses steam when it becomes a tacky revenge fable with a special FX budget that can't meet the goals of its intentions.
a little too silly in some spots, but comes together strong in the end.
wow that's a lot of dead kids for a PG film, eh?
V/H/S/94 (2021, dirs. Simon Barrett, Steven Kostanski, Chloe Okuno, Timo Tjahjanto, Jennifer Reeder)
easily the strongest, most consistent, and most imaginative entry in the entire series.
