Night of the Zombies (1981)

Ultra-trashy Adventure!

[14 July 2006]

Joel M. Reed has The Touch Of Trash! This zombie-obscurity (zombies are talking, eating normally in restaurants, smoking cigarettes...) is one of the best trashfilms I have ever seen.

Jamie Gillis is just the right guy for uncommunicative detective and the script is superb (in trash standards.)

If you say that you are a trashfan, don't miss it! No, I order you to watch it! It shines like a dirty diamond..

Fun to watch- I love it!

Reed himself has a significant role in this flick.

Zombies in a trashfilm= Poetry!

The Hair (1974)

Art-trashy surprise and rarity from Finland!

[10/10 · 11 July 2006]

Karvat is truly a triumph of art-trash-avantgardefilms. Not just only in Finland, but in The Whole Wide World! It has it all: unemployment, murder, robbery, rape, a gangster dwarf, false identities, helicopter rides, sleazy parties, sex, femme fatale and ordinary guy as superman. And a magic nut! And alternative ending. Etc. Etc.

It has same kind of trashy magic that Turkish oddball-movies had in the 70's.

Unfortunately Karvat is a black & white-movie. But you can't always get everything.

Braincandy for openminded filmviewers!

It is based on Lionel White's novel 'Obsession'.
