Movie Reviews

Reviews of hard-to-find, obscure, creative, independent underground movies.

Vacation!

Vacation!, the 3rd film by Zach Clark, is a cool throwback to ’80s indie film cool and about four hot girls on a getaway that goes very, very wrong.

Burning Inside

Burning Inside, written and directed by Nathan Wrann, willfully and consistently undermines all the conventions of the traditional revenge thriller.

Maximum Shame

Maximum Shame by Carlos Atanes is a post-apocalyptic puzzle of a film in which the characters are completely humiliated beyond recognition.

Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then

Brent Green’s live-action, stop-motion Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then is a staggering achievement, a powerful rumination on love and art.

Ol’ Hag

Ol’ Hag is a moody B&W film by Lyndon Cassell that recreates an old fisherman’s fable about a witchy apparition.

It Came From Kuchar

Jennifer Kroot’s documentary It Came From Kuchar is a total celebration of twin underground filmmaking brothers George and Mike Kuchar.

Endings

Chris Hansen’s second feature, Endings, has a terrific performance by young Emma Hansen and enough plot twists to keep it from being predictable.

Impolex

Impolex is an awesome throwback to the classic midnight movies the ’70s, about a befuddled WWII soldier searching for unexploded ordinance.
