I have much love for him and his ilk. I'd love to make a movie myself about that clawed wonder. And a brutal bastard he was, too.<br /><br />The Sinful Dwarf is a great favorite. And, you're right, he's definitely sinful. <br /><br />If you're going to have dwarfs, use them right.<br /><br />Over the next few days I'll do a little blog on the dwarf from the Japanese 'The Dwarf'. He even carries a severed hand (ala Dick Laymon's 'The Woods Are Dark' and Teruo Ishii's 'Blind Beast Vs. Killer Dwarf').

Now that is a movie. It's got a dwarf and he's sinful and everything! <br /><br />Somebody needs to make a movie about the Lobster Boy. Didn't his family murder him or something? I think I have the true crime book about that whole sordid affair 'round here somewhere...Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299640716799276127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-81619634671351664872009-08-17T11:45:20.379-04:002009-08-17T11:45:20.379-04:00If you're not going to showcase real freaks, t...If you're not going to showcase real freaks, take a walk. SHE FREAK had the vibe and the good intentions, but those intentions didn't extend to liberating some freaks from a forgotten sideshow and grandfathering them into the movie business. Dwarfs are the easiest freaks to collate, but it's not like it was impossible to find thalidomide-fed malforms back in '67. That was a great decade for hideous birth defects.<br /><br />The movie is still worth catching, but Browning's FREAKS will remain one of the greatest movies ever made.<br /><br />I recently caught the Japanese THE DWARF.

I think it was something about that face and that diner dress and that dumb Southern accent that turned me off. I don't know, I needed more, um, I don't even know. She was weird to me. <br /><br />I'm glad ya got through it though, it's really not too horrible. I guess I want to like it more because of the subject matter, but it just falls a bit short for a few reasons.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299640716799276127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-47840751108356758252009-08-14T09:25:46.353-04:002009-08-14T09:25:46.353-04:00Jenn: I watched She Freaks last night. You were so...Jenn: I watched <i>She Freaks</i> last night. You were sooo right about it being slow. If I had to watch that damn carnival go up and down one more time I might have blown my brains out. Also, I do believe the courtship of Steve and Jade was the longest in screen history. The endless shots of them cavorting around got to be quite torturous. <br /><br />My favorite scene was when Blackie invites Jade into his “place,” which is the ass end of one of the carnival’s trailers. Not sure if it was the mattress flung in the corner, or the spray painted graffiti on the interior walls of the trailer, but something did the trick. Did you notice he had spray painted his name in black over the mattress? Worked like a damn charm. <br /><br />Must disagree about Jade (Claire Brennen). I didn’t think she was gross at all, quite cute, in fact. The real beauty, though, was Lynn Courtney, who played Moon the cootchie dancer – She was downright beautiful. Also, I thought Bill McKinney, who played Steve St. John, was just about the creepiest leading man in the history of film. – MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-28131953373886915932009-08-12T22:26:35.764-04:002009-08-12T22:26:35.764-04:00Hexenkult, thank you and your wish has been grante...Hexenkult, thank you and your wish has been granted.

Now someone just needs to review Something Weird's 1972 schlock-fest BLOOD FREAK, a pro-Christian/anti-drug film featuring a mutated, turkey-headed killer. Because nothing says "pro-Christian" like a heap of Herschell Gordon Lewis-style gore!Brainsmokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078325277134629176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-34433659483972512662009-08-11T19:08:34.435-04:002009-08-11T19:08:34.435-04:00Jenn: Well, actually, they have already been my un...Jenn: Well, actually, they have already been my undoing. - MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-67468242613649672682009-08-11T19:05:33.494-04:002009-08-11T19:05:33.494-04:00Jenn: I couldn't stop myself.

I'm loving the guy at the very bottom-center with the baby face, holding a switch the size of monky wrench. And who could not love, at least a little, a movie with the tag line: "In the dark corridors of every woman's soul there lurks a She Freak!"<br /><br />Entertaining as always.

Just take a deep breath, chug your cabernet - that's how I do it - and watch the carnival get set up again and again. You know you want to. <br /><br />Jake, you are quite correct, sir. That Olga chicken in Browning's original is fabulous. You know, there's an Olga in this movie too, she's a fortune teller with a fake gypsy accent. And what's wrong with a little gore and a little nipple here or there? I'll watch some filler to get to the goods :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299640716799276127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-28698101806393247202009-08-10T23:43:55.311-04:002009-08-10T23:43:55.311-04:00I saw this movie on USA network at like 1AM when I...I saw this movie on USA network at like 1AM when I was in middle school. It was hosted by Roseanne's lesbian pal Sandra Bernhard. The titular She-Freak is still not as disturbing as the original chicken woman from the 30's.<br /><br />I find most exploitation movies dull. All the money was spent on gore or convincing someone to take his or her clothes off. 98% of the movie is just filler.DrippedJakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007191841419772746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-90807093513581634202009-08-10T22:15:04.020-04:002009-08-10T22:15:04.020-04:00Personally, I'm always drunk, so you're pr...Personally, I'm always drunk, so you're preaching to the choir.
