GRADUATION DAY is also Troma distributed I think? they do have a few movies on their books that I like... their in-house productions, not so much.


not a movie namecheck, but I saw the new I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER reboot thingy, and 'bloodydisgusting.com' gets a reference... not a website I've ever looked at, but it's really weird hearing movie characters name real sites. it takes me out of the movie a bit.

I wanted to use "Fatty Drives the Bus" but thought it would be too hard.

Quote from: zombie no.one on Today at 03:16:00 AMyeah this one suuucked... contender for bottom 3 80s slasher imo. (not sure what the other 2 would be)

This was picked up and distributed by Troma, which explains a lot. Apparently the film was shot in 1981, with additional scenes added in 1982 to make it longer (original duration was 65 minutes).

I remember there being two versions released to VHS, the R-Rated and unrated cut. The unrated included minimal more blood.

I did buy the DVD because it was very cheap but yeah, Splatter University sucks, no matter what format or version you're watching.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

My three reasons for buying a ticket were a) the title, b) the poster, c) Gillian Anderson

A young queer/woke etc director is hired to revive an old horror franchise. To flesh out her story, she visits the actress who played the final girl in the first installment, and who now lives at a recluse in the vacation camp where the movie was shot.

This is so meta it hurts. Most of the time I wasn't sure what layer of reality I was watching and it loops back upon itself in a way I haven't seen since Reflet dans un diamant mort (which was more fun). Very much a movie about making movies
The themes of horror and sexuality are a bit heavy handed and on the nose for me. Also the director makes an attempt to tie things together at the end. I would have preferred a more open WTF ending. At one point Gillian Anderson's character tells the director character that she is overthinking a movie which is essentially about flesh and bodily fluids. Which is pretty much how I feel about the movie itself. Still it has its moments and critics love it. It won the Queer prize at Cannes.

The clips from the original franchise have the most over the top splattery splatter effects I have ever seen
The cinematography makes Gillian Anderson look ancient, while she is actually not even sixty.
Patrick Fischler only has two scenes, but makes them memorable as always.

100. The Wizard of the Kremlin (ends about 2019-2022, from what I read).

Thanks, this was a cool one for me! We can continue with future-set movies, if you know the dates they are set in. I have a few.
