REVIEWS:

• Abel Ferrara directed and starred in this notorious gore/art film about a painter (played by Ferrara using the name "Jimmy Laine") who snaps because a loud punk-rock group moves into his building. After killing a few bums with his drill, he starts taking revenge on people he resents. Dark and moody, this film comes across as a slightly classier version of Last House on Dead End Street, albeit with the same oppressively grim ambience. One of the primary films involved in the British "video nasties" debate, it really isn't all that bloody save for one graphic drilling, but the disturbing tone still makes it a decidedly unpleasant experience. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
• As exhausting and demanding a test of the gag reflex as any film ever committed to celluloid, Peter Jackson's low-budget, amazingly resourceful portrayal of mankind a la carte is a series of kinetically realized chunk-blowing vignettes that endlessly assault the viewer at such a hyperactive pace that it's nearly impossible to draw a breath, much less take a moment to laugh at the revoltingly hilarious exploits. Sheep are blown to oblivion with rocket launchers, steaming alien vomit is consumed as a delicacy, legions of sledgehammer-toting, human-hungry aliens taunt and torture the heroes, and an entire Victorian home launches into space -- all for a fraction of the budget of the most minimalist independent film of recent years and with ten times the energy. Though Jackson would repeatedly revisit similar nauseating territory to similar effect and success, he would captivate viewers six years later with Heavenly Creatures, his moving and hauntingly sensitive retelling of New Zealand's infamous Parker-Hulme murders. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
• Memorably advertised as the first "gore-nography" film, Scream Bloody Murder more than lives up to its garish title and tagline with wall-to-wall insanity and a great cast. While saddled with a typically repetitious "psycho on the loose" plot, the film revels in going several steps too far whenever possible, placing traditionally taboo victims like elderly women and their pet dogs in harm's way and following through with extreme prejudice. Outfitting the patricidal villain/protagonist with a prosthetic hook helps jack up the creep factor, and the frequent blurry hallucinations he suffers are effectively ghastly. As the lunatic Matthew, Fred Holbert is the weakest member of a cast that otherwise has the skill to pull off each horrific episode without succumbing to utter camp. It's not the plentiful fake gore that makes Scream Bloody Murder's darker sequences so disturbing, but rather the genuine terror expressed by each casualty as their maker is met, resulting in unpleasant sensations for the sensitive viewer. Holbert essentially does a Anthony Perkins impression for the duration of Scream Bloody Murder, but his wide-eyed mania is appropriate for this sick thriller, particularly in the film's final act, where he holds a beatnik prostitute captive in a mansion he inhabits after a nasty home invasion. Director Marc B. Ray was most often employed as a screenwriter, and enjoyed a decidedly schizophrenic career; along with horror films like Scream Bloody Murder, The Severed Arm, and Stepfather III, Ray also wrote scripts for children's television shows such as Lidsville, New Zoo Revue, and the 1977 revival of The Mickey Mouse Club. Horror icon Angus Scrimm (of the Phantasm film series), credited here as "Rory Guy," is unrecognizable in a brief role as a doctor. ~ Fred Beldin, Rovi
