They’re united by more than their love of the medium. They don’t fit neatly into the traditional slasher buckets with the jock, the stoner, the obnoxious comedian, the slut, the preppie, and on and on and on. By design, the film students desperate to rake in a little cash for their underfunded department are all so darn likable. The film as a whole is a love letter to cinema – to the shared communal experience of watching a movie you adore with a hundred other crazed lunatics. They’re doting tributes, down to the inexorably 1970s color timing and grain structure of The Stench. Popcorn‘s three movies-within-a-movie aren’t mocking or sneering at genre flicks of decades past. And hey, what better time to at long last finish The Possessor than in front of a mob of rabid horror fans who mistake all this murder and mayhem for more ballyhoo? The cultists’ bodies were burned beyond recognition, so for all we know, Gates could still be alive and kicking today. He was in the process of filming its finale live in front of the audience, on the verge of plunging a ceremonial dagger into his second victim when… Bam! Amidst the chaos, the movie theater went up in flames. You see, fifteen years ago, Lanyard Gates screened his incomplete opus The Possessor to his film cult. I don’t see The Possessor on here anywhere. And after the AromaRama of Japanese import The Stench is… well, nothing. You can! If the dazzling visual effects in The Attack of the Amazing Electrified Man don’t do it for you, the Shock-O-Scope jolts from underneath your seat sure will. The 3D is so vivid that you’ll feel as if you could reach out and touch one of those colossal bloodsuckers! Oh, wait. Leading the way is Mosquito!, presented in Project-O-Vision. Hey, I think this might be a first: a cult film about a film cult.īefore we tear into all that, let me double-check the bill for this schlocky late night fright-fest fundraiser.
