The only good thing I can say about this movie is that it is only an hour long. If this is a cult classic, then I'm Pauline Kael.

It wouldn't be a bad little revenge fantasy except for one thing--we only know about the guy's predicament because we hear him tell it to the voodoo priest in the opening scene. We're not present for the setup.

Nekromantik

Mike Ward
|
NEKROMANTIK is first and foremost a blatant and childish (though successful) attempt to disgust the most jaded conceivable audience, and doesn't have many aspirations beyond this.

What distinguishes this project is its meditation on mass hysteria and popular delusion -- or at least its effort to do so.

As a collector I'm glad I bought it and that I own it, but I don't know if I could sit through it again.

If you've ever wanted to see Marylin Munster in a series of revealing outfits, including one made of soap suds, this is your movie.

This is the last, and sadly the least, of the four films in Ilsa's quartet of perversion.

The story, dialogue, and acting are even worse than you would expect and the music leaves no impression at all. But that's not the point, is it?

Although it is not without its tasty moments, this one is nowhere near as gruesome as its predecessor.

Full of beautiful and disturbing images that seem to convey the band's disgust with its limitations while at the same time representing a creative peak in their songwriting and performances.

Any fool can make a movie that's just frankly obscene, but it takes an edge of intelligence to make a film that crosses the line into the unspeakably abominable. DRILLER KILLER is such a film.

Hiding Ernest Borgnine behind gargoyle prosthetics is as redundant as painting the kettle black, but it is entirely consistent with the filmmaker's overall vision of obliterating every possibly redeeming element.

Not another poverty-row cheapie, this film has the generic slickness of any mainstream middle-budgeted film of its time. It's the script that's impoverished.

Absolutely does not give a f*** about conventional film narration... spins a yarn with the deviant coherence of a paranoid fantasy or a death-bed vision.

SPIDER BABY is a Richard Gory drawing come to life--the perfect blend of comedy and horror, like THE ADDAMS FAMILY with a body count or ARSENIC AND OLD LACE with subhuman cannibals in the basement.
