I reading about this movie back in the day in some interview with David Chase and I couldn’t help but feel at home watching this so soon after a full Sopranos rewatch. I kept thinking about Christopher Moltisanti's famous line, "Where's my arc?" while watching this hangout movie for scumbags—tbh it was a dope way to spend my 420 lol.

Steve Buscemi crushes it.

The undervalued Andrew Prine plays the nutso highway psycho savior… picking up stranded women with ‘Good Samaritan’ charm while wearing the coat Kate Hudson made popular in Almost Famous and shackling them up in his barn to prepare them for his deranged weirdo circus of terror… you can imagine how that goes.

Opens strongly but starts to suffer from a case of the plods... other than that there’s some nice wide shots, I dug the soundtrack (especially the opening credit song), and it ends on a high note with a dope final act that made it all worthwhile.

A solid little slice of 70’s drive-in exploitation swill that’s also perfect late afternoon coming down from a buzz hangover hokum… a barnful of captive women being held by a maniac ‘circus’ leader, a nuclear test site mutated flesh man roaming the desert and chomping off arms, a mountain lion (or bobcat), plus some whips, chains, and severed heads for good measure.

Fits the bill as the kind of movie you’d see at some sweaty 1976 drive-in trash double feature with stacks of zigzags and shitty piss warm beer floating spring in the station wagon.

It’s one of those.

Shitty doc about the shitty haunt scene that bearded hipster online film ‘journalist’ specimens rave about ad nauseam in their ‘articles’ that are usually sandwiched between the ‘Halloween III is underrated… do you know it was hated when it came out?’ bullshit that never needs to be uttered again and entry level ‘thinkpiece’ swill connecting every horror movie in existence to some current news events to bolster whatever cause they fight for in their make believe ‘iM a wRiTeR WiTh iNfLuEnCe!’ bubble that they think makes them some sort of important voice or something like that. 

I feel like I was thrusted into that crowd and I hated every second of it. I know a lot of you folks miss me here and all that jazz but I’m just an idiot who looks like Danzig and that’s about it. I miss a lot of you as well and think about the actual friends and cool people I’ve met on this site often, but taking a step away from this whole ‘scene’ and the moron infestation currently populating it has been such a joy I can’t even begin to explain lol.

Anyways, I hearing the director of this feeble steamer overstep his welcome on a podcast (can’t believe I used to listen or even care about podcasts) as he talked about the intricate details of the haunt world, the hOrRoR cOmMuNiTy (groan), and the making this slop plopper… holy hell it was excruciating in just about every way and I felt bad and embarrassed for the hosts who clearly also wanted the podcast episode to end.

Anyways, find a better documentary to watch or watch an actual real movie—new or old it doesn’t matter.

This shit is the pits.

My two favorite genres as a very small child were universal horror and murder mystery thrillers from the 30’s and 40’s. Charlie Chan, the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes films that even have that u overall horror tinge to it that I adore so much, the Thin Man series, Mr. Moto etc. I still watch various films in each of these franchises every year—especially when it’s cold out since way back in the day winter time trips the buttery stale popcorn smell of my kids vhs slopheap had a bunch of those cool key video dossier packaging tapes. 

Many fond memories of being snowed in and voraciously glarping up any of these movies i could get our hands on. I couldn’t help but revisit a bunch of these after watching the new knives out movie—which I loved, so I figured I’d give this series a proper ranking.

1. Dead Men Tell
2. Charlie Chan at the Opera

Besides regional genre films, my favorite sub genre is the TCM ‘rip off’. Isolated backwoods rednecksploitation cannibal clan/mutant inbred family survival-based horror jams that wear their inspirations on their sleeve. Rip off is normally a derogatory phrase, but in this case it’s nothing but love—give me all the grimy hooper worship. There’s thousands of these out there varying in quality (I’m lookin at you uncorked films) but these (for the most part) are some of my favorites!

Not the biggest fan of his style, themes, aesthetic, or his execution… which to me has felt overly starched in almost every way… like a android who is incapable of feeling human emotion making movies based on what he thinks human emotions would feel like. I used to like many of these a lot more when they first came out… especially that run he had in the 2000’s, but after numerous revisits my connections to these movies deteriorates more and more… it’s just not my bag, baby.
