Description:
This is a delightful little cult slasher classic from sweet as saccharine 1985. From the opening credits, the music signifies strapping yourself in for another sensuous ride of complete unpredictability, evoking a mild euphoric tranquillity through every atom of your body. It’s essentially the perfect welcoming sign for 90 minutes of something alike an out of body experience which borders on complete relaxation and anticipation playing out consecutively. You know from the first 3 minutes that you’re in the hands of a group of filmmakers that know exactly what kind of magic they’re creating and exactly how they’re creating it. The collaboration of the creative heads shines so clearly, it’s almost like an opera ensemble that’s been carefully orchestrated and composed to hit every note at every right moment. Some of the themes are so random, it almost feels like someone time-travelled 50 years into the future and brought a copy of this back with them.
I don’t want to give too much of the wacky plot away, apart from that the core of it is a spin-off of William Lustig’s directorial debut horror film, ‘Maniac’ with Joe Spinell, from 1980. Fans of Maniac will get an extra kick out of it, especially with the how the lead character even looks like Joe!
Enjoy, and remember, it’s not everyday someone gets an opportunity to see a film like bits and pieces. Don’t miss out.
