FINAL FOUR STUDIO ALBUMS AT BANDCAMP

GREAT WHITE DEATH (SPECIAL EDITION) (1985)

HALOGEN (1994)

QUALITY TIME. (1995)

THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS (1990)

FILLMORE DISCOS 76

Quite a variety of genres this time around, most from great and much appreciated recommendations!

M3GAN, 2022 (****)
whoever designed and wrote for the doll is an absolute genius, all her scenes taken in isolation are absolutely spectacular, sadly the rest of the film is dumbed-down PG-13 trash with Hallmark Channel-quality acting - had to give extra star for inspired inclusion of Skatt Bros' classic 'Walk The Night'

Hospitals: The White Mafia, 1973 (****)
Luigi Zampa's remarkably disturbing drama and chief surgeon character study set in a big city hospital resonates more than ever despite its fifty years of age

Speak No Evil, 2022 (*****)
one of the most unsettling films I've ever seen, a living nightmare of helplessness to be involuntarily felt throughout the entire film

Triangle Of Sadness, 2022 (****)
despite occasional heavy-handed messaging, if taken as pure black comedy, you find a highly enjoyable film with some extremely memorable interactions and plot twists

The Menu, 2022 (**)
black comedy starts out so promisingly yet quickly (and unexpectedly) degenerates into a thriller-by-numbers with absolutely zero character development, so jarring that it recalls Robert Altman's Hollywood satire The Player

On Your Wedding Day, 2018 (*****)
I do love a good romantic comedy and Korean ones are the best: this is a particularly good one, very real and raw and relatable

20th Century Girl, 2021 (****)
cute and fun Korean romantic comedy with quite the sting in its tail

Piggy, 2022 (*)
opening credits' list of sponsors and backers was already a massive red flag but this is little more than an incoherent revenge horror with a porn-quality cast, also a huge no to thirtysomethings playing teenagers

FILLMORE DISCOS 75

Hallowe'en horror film special. It's been several years since the last movie review post, good new movies seem to be becoming rarer and rarer so catching up with various recommendations and suggestions I've gratefully received. Happy Hallowe'en!

X, 2022 (*)
porn acting without the porn, 70s/80s retro horror without the horror or even the soundtrack

The Sadness, 2021 (****)
highly enjoyable sexually depraved horror from Taiwan, loved its energy, youthful verve, and Sadean monologues in final act

American Mary, 2012 (***)
Katharine Isabelle's talents are rather wasted on what is a fantastic body horror premise because, sadly, movie suffers from a catastrophic lack of attention to fetishistic detail

Hatchet, 2006 (*)
risibly poor low budget retro horror attempt, hard to believe there were 3 sequels (does that qualify it as a franchise?)

Ginger Snaps, 2000 (****)
Isabelle as the older sister absolutely steals the show in this highly original female puberty-centred horror from Canada only marred by the younger sister's pointless and distracting syrup - looking forward to visiting the sequels
