I've seen so many "horror" films these last few years...it's all just so underwhelming. I adore the concept of this project, enlisting so many minds and visions, and so here are my favorites and a few descriptive words. Overall, this film is a 10 merely because of the artistic freedom/reign given the directors - and especially what they did with what they were challenged with. THIS...is art at its height. BRING IT...PLEASE???
1. "A for Apocalypse" = Interesting, leaves you wanting so much more
2. "D for Dogfight" = Without a doubt, the best piece. Gorgeous, intelligent perfection
3. "E for Exterminate" = I love you, Angela Bettis. You GO, girl! (And I do that every time I see an arachnid of any kind, as you so obviously present)
4. "I for Ingrown" - Poetic. Tragic. Too realistic...which is why it rocks
5. "K for Klutz" - Animation at its finest; brilliant sound effects, clicking heels on the tile...and so funny
6. "O is for Orgasm" - Belongs in the Guggenheim for visuals
7. "Q is for Quack" = Wins for comedy, hands down
8. "T is for Toilet" = Cheesy outdated clay artistry, but what a BRILLIANT storyline
9. "X is for XXL" = Tragic, poignant, too real - gorgeous in its horror
Those are my top 9 of the films. The rest I am reviewing are as follows:
Just "OK" = "U for Unearthed"
Most Nonsensical = "W for WTF" - no kidding
Most WTF = "Z is for...whatever the frig that was..."
And lastly, MOST DISTURBING:
D1: "L is for Libido" = it's all good until it's not
D2: "P is for Pressure" = only reason in my mind that could/would/should ever happen
D3: "Y is for Young Buck" = completely wrong on so many levels...and never really gets right
Makes no sense at all - "Z". But, honestly? I enjoyed the entire experience of this film, and I will continue to pay over and over again to see more like this, and less like remakes of ANYTHING but most notably, "Red Dawn", "Dirty Dancing", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Let the Right One In", "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy", and whatever else is coming out "mainstream" these days. I don't DO remakes. EVER. And I thank every single one of you for your efforts in this film, and for your artistic vision - no matter how sick and wrong. And the more sick and wrong it is? BRING IT!!! I loved this film and thank Magnet and all the writers and directors and producers and your partners for this awesome collection of art. How refreshing...FINALLY!!!
