Hotel Room (1993)
If you enjoy David Lynch you must watch this.
Hotel room is not really a straight David lynch movie, it has three parts, set in different time periods, the first and last are directed by lynch. The first staring Harry Dean Stanton, this part is worth watching for the acting alone, but will be enjoyed by anyone who respects lynch's stylistic film making.
The second part is interesting and has a little creative flair, but is greatly over shadowed by the pieces lynch directs. It's good enough to not fast forword to the third part.
The last part which revolves around a couple stranded in a blackout, is based almost fully on dialogue. David lynch's genius comes out here, little light, and enough weird conversation to keep your mind working during the whole piece.
It's very easy to over look a little gem like this, do yourself a favor and check it out.
Cannibal ferox (1981)
Cannibal Ferox is beauty in a little dvd
Cannibal Ferox is not your run-of-the-mill teen slasher movie. It has a wonderful cameo by the adult film industry's own Rob Kerwin--whom does a marvelous job protraying his tragic character--even though he is a teen heartthrob.
This work of art portrays a handful of well-rounded characters who are thrown into the heart of the Amazon (Maybe this is what Joseph Conrad had in mind). Our heroes and friends in this picture are on the hunt to find reported 'Cannibalistic' villages and to disprove their existence for their college thesis. You can only guess the whacky circumstances that bubble in a bathtub of teenagers and cannibals.
Its a piece of work straight from the great gore/shock director Umberto Lenzi, a underated genius of modern times. The secret of His craft is making you vomit, whether from the wonderful death scenes of countless cute animals, to parts being ripped from the bathing suit area of our college buddys.
To conclude my ramblings this movie is an excellent popcorn movie for you and your loved one.
