All due respect to Disney's Frozen but does it have Bava lighting, a set piece reminiscent of Kenneth Anger, a musical number performed by anachronistic, post-apocalyptic Mad Max bandits and a psychedelic Obayashi-esque climax? I rest my case.

Like what the fuck? No seriously how the fuck do I even begin to describe this movie? I guess I could describe this as a Lifetime movie on bath salts or a soap opera on crystal meth but that would only be scratching the surface.

When Martin Scorsese infamously said the MCU wasn't cinema I disagreed with him. I agreed with basically everything else he said in that article but on a purely semantic level I do believe that the MCU counts as cinema. This however is absolutely NOT cinema. This has more in common with those horrifying AI images designed to scam boomers on Facebook or those bizarre, misogynistic mobile game ads than it does anything in the realm of cinema.

I'm really having trouble even beginning to get into the nitty gritty of what is wrong with this movie because it's literally everything. Not a single aspect of this movie isn't horribly wrong in some way. It's shot and edited like the worst TikTok brainrot, none of the story remotely makes any sense (and no, not in a cool surreal way or even in a wild grindhouse way, more in a "this is a first draft written in an hour" sort of way) , the characters are all idiots or psychopaths or both, voice over explains every character's inner thoughts even when they're obvious, there's an aneurysm inducing plot twist every other scene, the acting is terrible, the score uses the same stock music you hear in Youtube videos, I honestly could go on but we'd be here all day!

There's bad, there's "so bad it's good" and then there's this which somehow sures both to create an entirely new category of badness previously unrecognized. If any of this sounds morbidly fascinating to you this movie can be watched on Dailymotion and you can also watch it on the sleazeball streaming service that made it but I'd advise against that just in case executives think people enjoy this unironically and Netflix and Amazon also start making terrible movies that you have to sit through an ad every minute while watching.

Daisies by way of The Doom Generation. Laugh out loud hilarious, full of visual ingenuity and oddly sweet despite how violent it often is. Just the kind of wild ride that should be a cult classic.

Watched on Friday April 25, 2025.

Opens on a bizarre nightmare orgy that feels reminiscent of Ishii's own "Horrors of Malformed Men" with a bit of the "shunting" scene from Society before spending most of it's runtime as a pink-ish sex farce until in the last act finally returning to the surrealism promised by it's intro. It's certainly unique and it has some really nice early digital cinematography that's somehow both grimy and pretty but it really needs more focus. Although conversely, it's incongruent mishmash of conflicting tones and styles does make for an interesting watch.

The Me (2010) of Japanese pink films.

Flawed and frustrating but I kind of have to respect it for how gorgeous and creative it is and also for trying to introduce themes of fascism, patriarchy, environmentalism and xenophobia to a younger audience without sugar coating them (too much.) However the story somehow feels both overstuffed and uneventful which is a real shame because I think with a better screenplay this really could've something special. As it is it's undeniably interesting but a bit too flawed to me consider it some sort of lost masterpiece. Still I certainly didn't regret watching it and with so much children's entertainment being both bland and mindless it's nice to see a movie like this be genuinely weird and challenging.

A really strange and creepy Rosemary's Baby riff with some really chilling sound design and great imagery. Sort of like Perfume of a Lady in Black but even weirder and with better pacing. Definitely in the upper tier of seventies Eurohorror.

It's a bit of a cliche to describe a movie as a "fever dream" but it's hard not to think of another way to describe this film. I'd love to see this get a proper restoration as with all of Raoul Ruiz's out of print films but the crappy quality of the version I watched on Youtube only added to the hazy nightmare vibes. I also think it might be mildly cursed because I fell asleep for like five hours after watching this.

Basically Repo Man for Millennials raised on MySpace emo and Smosh. Depending on whether you react to that sentence with joy or pure disgust determines how much this movie is or is it for you. Personally this is definitely for me. The jokes in this are delivered rapid fire in classic Zucker bros style and not all of them work but most of them do and a few are gutbustingly hilarious. Also I wanted all the main character's shirts.

Doesn't quite reach the same level of non-stop insane entertainment as The Seventh Curse and Riki-Oh but it's still a lot of fun. Really cool Harryhausen meets Giger stop motion monsters and effects and the story while simple does attempt somewhat to subvert the usual binary themes of good and evil seen in most fantasy and martial arts films and while this aspect could have been executed a bit better I still appreciated it.

A gorgeous, atmospheric and hauntingly sad meditation on grief that turns into an ultra violent, bleak and rage filled revenge saga. An ocean of tears that becomes filled with blood.

More straightforward than Parajanov's more well known The Color of Pomegranates in of storytelling but still contains some very experimental filmmaking particularly in regards to editing and cinematography and spell binding surreal imagery. A dreamlike, eerie and haunting dark fairy tale.

Suggestions are welcome! Please note that doesn't necessarily means any of these shows/movies are "bad." It's just a specific aesthetic they have in common. Campy acting, off beat storylines and cheesy humor among other qualities.
