Troma, Gore, Sex, Art, Comedy, B-grade, Horror, Trash; DVD - New This is the story of a low budget film crew, led by their blind film director, Larry Benjamin (Lloyd Kaufman/co-founder of Troma Inc.), trying to make some art. In addition to the typical trials and travails of a Troma set, the crew finds themselves set upon by a sexually conflicted, bomb bearing serial killer. Production assistant Jennifer (enchanting Alyce LaTourelle) struggles to succeed on set and to decide between the two men in her life - straitlaced Casey (Will Keenan) and over the edge Jerry (Trent Haaga). This threesome heats up as the killer draws even nearer. As the insanity increases and the bodies amass, the crew bands together (both physically and sexually) against the threat in their midst.

Cult, Cronenberg, Body Horror, Classic, Bizarre, Gross, Weird; DVD - New I could tell you everything that happens in Videodrome, and it still will not even slightly prepare you for the utter bizarreness to be beheld. The imagery is both disgusting and strangely compelling, the story is beyond odd, and the references to the "new flesh" that pop up like skin cancer cells in the final reels are a mantra that will haunt the viewer long after the film is over. The constant images of videotapes and televisions flexing out to either imitate organic material or swallow the hero whole. It is the ultimate contradiction, that I can find this film so utterly compelling yet so utterly repulsive. There is an unofficial motto among defense lawyers: "if you cannot convince them, confuse them". Videodrome, thanks to its surreal imagery and story that could only be inspired by divergent thought, is both convincing and confusing. Such is the ultimate achievement in storytelling.

Adult, Violent, Claymation, Exploitation, Gore, Indie; DVD - New Shot in super eight, this movie is amateur film-making at its most primitive that includes Gore, Claymotion, it works as a whole package for lovers of the genre. A must for sick and twisted cult fanatics who worship the Kuchars and Norbert Moutier. In other words, this movie is an explosion reel in its purest form, which when it comes to this genre means lots of crazy antics. A film with one thing in common: love for good old American exploitation movies. As expected of 70's B-movies, the acting is painfully bad, nevertheless, the main stars, have sick scenes, and Jeanin Lake shines among the whole cast. The story also defies categorization. It is anything but porn, per se, to anybody who takes a glimpse of the cover art but there are sequences of adventure and gore. The special effects are laughably amateurish but, it doesn't feel that way for the entire runtime. As I said the film is so wrong in so many ways not to mention utterly offensive by today's standards. I can't add much more to what's already been said about this exploitation gem. If you have a stomach for blood and guts, over-the-top antics you should see this movie.
