Combat Shock...a war/splatter movie...with some Lynch twists
|
Now this is a movie that sorts out the men from the boys.
Utterly downbeat to the point of dejection, this is far more than a sum of its notoriously shocking parts (the mutant baby, the drug injecting, the final murders) - a film that strips away any remote chance of viewer comfort or redemption and makes
Taxi Driver seem like
Wayne's World by comparison.
Well acted, with an unsettling score (composed by its star) and amusingly misleading packaging - depicting a
Rambo-esque war romp which couldn't be further from the truth.
I'm so excited about this movie I've probably posted this somewhere before, but I can't be bothered to check.
