Odd and twisted, The Dark Backward has plenty to thrill admirers of ugliness and enough food for thought to interest the rest of us too.

A seriously weird, seriously cool surreal black comedy.

Audience Reviews for The Dark Backward

Jan 21, 2010A spectacularly unfunny comedian finally find success--sort of--when an arm begins growing out of his back. Bizarre, hard-hearted black comedy in the spirit of John Waters. Form follows plot premise: if you can't be funny, you can at least be grotesque enough so people won't be able to look away.Greg S Super Reviewer

Feb 14, 2009Adam Rifkin's odd story of a garbageman/horrible stand up comedian who grows a third arm out of his back. The world created in this movie is so scummy that it'll make you feel like taking a shower.Shane D Super Reviewer

Apr 17, 2008Judd Nelson is Marty, a garbage collector (or sanitation engineer, whichever you prefer) who moonlights as a stand-up comedian. Bill Paxton is a true sleaze-ball of a friend/agent that decides exploiting a third arm that has grown out of Marty's back is a sure shot way to achieving stardom. The dude has a third arm growing out of his back and that's not even the main part of the plot. This is a truly bizarre movie with Judd Neslon in a role like most have never seen him in. I really hate comparing to other films, but the easiest way to describe it is the dark surrealism of Naked Lunch with the dark humor of The King Of Comedy. If there was ever a film developed solely for a cult audience, it's this one. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes it's a bad thing. I hated this movie the first time seeing it. The next evening, I watched it again. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/?action=view¤t=darkbackward2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/darkbackward2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>El Hombre I Super Reviewer
