Pig



2002. Co-created by Rozz Williams, singer for the death metal band Christian Death, who said Pig was a cathartic experience. He hung himself in his Hollywood apartment in 1998 when he was 34.

Here's a clip -



Here's a really stupid fan-made video using footage from Pig. It has The Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs" playing instead of the original soundtrack. I can't think of who in their right mind would think that was a cool idea.

Thriller: A Cruel Picture



1974. Don't turn this on around your mom. Quentin Tarantino likes this movie because he's a wannabe-rapist. Thriller has hardcore pornographic footage in it. Like... why? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for nudity in genre movies, but that would be like if Uma Thurman boned someone in Kill Bill and we saw the dick going in and out.

They Live



"I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubble gum." My favorite scene is the fight in the alley. They Live is John Carpenter at his finest.

Neon Maniacs



1985. Ed Wood but not really. Neon Maniacs is blissful monster nonsense. The corny premise involves eight monsters, each with a unique look (think Village People), who walk around killing people with an assortment of deadly weapons. Their only weakness is water. This movie is watchable.

In the subway scene, there's a long shot where you can see the cameraman's reflection in the window of the subway car for like forty five minutes. Director Joseph Mangine's name reminds me of the word 'Mangina'.

Here's the trailer -
