Review of WNUF HALLOWEEN SPECIAL (2013) on vhstracking.com.
vhstracking.com
WNUF Halloween Special (2013)
“The Demons of Demolition Derby - we’ll sell you the whole seat, but you’re only gonna need the edge.” Directed by Chris LaMartina and other collaborators, WNUF Halloween Special (2013) takes the form of a recorded piece of public access television, evidently a videotape being played as signified by the occasional bursts of fast-forwarding that interrupt the televisual flow of news reports and commercial breaks.

Review of NOTHING UNDERNEATH (1985) on vhstracking.com.
vhstracking.com
Nothing Underneath (1985)
Nothing Underneath (1985) is a 1980s-era late-period giallo thriller that fully knocks off the Brian De Palma style. Even composer Pino Donaggio reuses a variation of the ‘Telescope’ theme from Body Double a few times. An American model, Jessica Crane (Nicola Perring), in Milan is in danger (also she has the same blonde punkish cut that Melanie Griffith had in…

Review of RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS (1983) on vhstracking.com. Available to stream on SBS On Demand.

Raiders Of Atlantis (1983)
Italian exploitation cinema is supreme in knocking off successful genre films or particular scenes, and assembling the elements into a something… well, it’s not new… more like a mutant, the type of hybrid beast you might find one of these flicks. Raiders Of Atlantis (1983) - aka Atlantis Interceptors aka Atlantis Inferno on SBS - has Mad Max punker biker gang scenes, …

In Western Australia you can pay lots of money for a personalised number plate. The collective expression and sentiment is the poetry of the state (known as Western Primitive). Together with naming children and pets, it is one of only a few permissible forms of creativity.

A review of MOONLIGHTING (1982) starring Jeremy Irons and directed by Jerzy Skolimowski.
vhstracking.com
Moonlighting (1982)
I may not intimately understand an immigrant’s perspective or be tapped into the historical context of martial law being declared in Poland between 1981 and 1983, but there’s a scene in Moonlighting (1983) that is universally relatable when a skip bin is organised and our characters wake up to find it already filled by their neighbours. That, and when they attempt to do the same in kind, they are caught and chased.

Also: my favourite Possession anecdote from Sam Neill is that the vibe was so intense with Adjani and Zulawski that as soon as shooting finished each day he'd go back to his hotel room and lock himself in, get massively stoned and listen to Genesis on repeat

This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.
