Deadgirl (2008)



It tells the disturbing story of two high-school friends, Rickie and JT, find a naked girl covered in plastic, chained to a table in the basement of an abandoned insane asylum. Soon discovering that despite seeming already dead, the girl isn't dead yet or more precisely somehow turns into undead, and the boys decides to take advantage of the situation.

I just saw it last night too. but that's a major spoiler, buddy.:D

The plot was fairly original and delivers a ride with mixed bag experience but there’s something about this twisted 'fucked up' little tale that's probably going to keep you hooked until the end with again another 'fucked up' scenario. It has few jump scares also. Overall, it's not a typical 'torture porn' movie. I haven't seen River's edge but to me it was little bit like...some fans of Jack Ketchum (The Girl Next Door) made an effort for an unusual zombie flick!;)

Motor Psycho

I had not seen this for probably 10 years. Russ Meyer is such an asshole, I love his work.

8/10

Southland Tales – My second viewing. Still kind of a mess and too long, but it’s still very funny and has some great moments. Looking forward to Kelly’s The Box later this year.

The Room

I feel a bit messed up after watching this. It was rather hilarious, but also very sad and demented. Right now I don't know if I should laughor cry.

The most brutal and heart-wrenching film I've ever seen. One of those films where you feel dirty after seeing. That being said it was made brilliantly and gratuitous to the point where you have no option but to watch.

Great closing paragraph:

"I am mischievously delighted by the thought of a post-apocalyptic science-fiction future in which all life on the planet has been eradicated by war or an error in high places, and the only record of humanity to survive is, improbably enough, a copy of Salò. I’d love to see the expression on the face of the alien archaeologist (portrayed by Bronson Pinchot) when he views the film, sizing up the human race based solely on the lonely and baffling rituals of its strange inhabitants. Even if Salò could somehow exist in a hypothetical cultural void, no one who watches it with creeping unease can help but be instinctually alarmed by the palpable absence of something crucial from within our modern trappings...humanity."

I'm glad you found the Salò experience so rich. It's an important piece of art, and an invaluable marker in the history of not only cinema, but human expression itself. If only all art were that passionate.

Death of a Ghost Hunter

I am not sure how many of you have seen this as it more of an independent low-budget movie. If not I highly recommend it!! It is some-what a breath of fresh air as it was smartly done and was actually completely narrated. it plays out sort of like blair witch in that it's supposed to be based of a true case and such...makes you really wonder if something like this actually happened...

8/10 (the audio is a little wonky in parts, i just kept that whole thing loud)


as for the next one...i may get inspired from HDC's most disturbing list :D

Umberto D. (1952)

Battisti did not play Umberto D. Battisti was Umberto D. This is one of those rare performances which have only occured several times since the dawn of the cinema- one which is so genuine, so complete, so radically human that to call it acting would seem insulting. There is a daring pathos to De Sica's character study, and his efforts pay off. The director's neo-realist style lends itself nicely to the film; we're so close that at times we feel invasive and at times we feel we might extend an arm to this lonely man. His every worry is ours, and his presence fills us with all the knowledges and experiences we've never had before. There is a tragic urgency to the pace of the picture and it kept me frantic and on edge, as if I was watching reality unfold before me and needed a happy resolution for this old friend of mine before the running time of the film expired. While De Sica certainly is not afraid to venture the depths of sorrow and loneliness, he refuses to do it without a constant eye on the strength of the human spirit.

I actually prefer this to Wild Strawberries, a film along the same vein and theory.
