Consider it Netflix'd.
Saw this at BNAT. It is definitely akin to a feverish dream. This was aided by it being the 5am movie and me drifting in and out of sleep. I always thought I missed a ton in my dozing but reading your review I realized I didn't! Those scenes just FELT epic in length. Whew.
Fucked up movie that should not be viewed while attempting to eat breakfast at the Drafthouse.
I think I could kind of go my entire life without seeing this and that would be okay.
Amazing review Devin – i'm now just as schizophrenically torn to watch and destroy a copy of this.
God this sounds incredible.
Awesome review. I'll still wont watch though. I have enough reasons to hate humanity as it is.
Sounds like a laugh riot.
well shit, Devin. You start with this, what in hell can you follow it up with?
Wow. I've heard of the film and seen a few clips but haven't sat through the entire thing. I'm also impressed with how in depth this review is (three fucking pages!). Hope you can keep this up for all the movies that merit the attention.
Probably gonna be your best review in this series (hope not!) but that was a pretty incredible review Dev. You know you're at your best when you're describing the extreme stuff. This column is off to an amazing start.
This new column is in dire need of screen grabs.
When you announced that you were beginning this column with this film, I immediately added it to my Netflix queue, somewhere towards the top. Now, I'm torn as to whether I really want to see it. Of course, I'll watch it anyway.
Thank you, Devin!!!! Always at your best dropping geek knowledge. Respect. Everything great about CHUD in a nutshell.
this is only the FIRST movie? this list is going to be incredible, i mean your going to have to top this on the next one then you are going to have to top that film. geez im not sure i want to know what other movies you have in mind. as usual killer writting though, always a pleasure to read
Holy fucking shit this is incredible. Great work Devin, truly exciting goodness… One of the most well-conceived and executed online columns about movies I've seen in years. I want to see the movie and kill myself for wanting to see it because of your delightful descriptors. I absolutely cannot wait to read what other fresh horrors you've got in store for us. Please hurry with the next one.
Wow.
I'm with the other guys, I want screen grabs.
Nice work, Devin. Great review – like others said above, it made me want to vomit and simultaneously sparked my curiosity at the same time.
the pinball machine. awesome
Surprised this doesn't have a first page link. Forget my previous grievances — this makes Cannibal Holocaust look like a restrained Discovery Channel doc. Can you tackle Let me Die a Woman or Teenage Mother next?
