Basket Case vs. The Brood: Different Directors, Same Movie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I always imagine a smell coming off a movie shot on the cheap in New York City in the early 80s. It’s a mixture of steam-pipe condensation, cigarette smoke gone deep into the drywall, and something underneath all of it that could be fear, or simply the fact that nobody’s cleaned the hall carpet since Gerald Ford was president. You get that smell watching 1981’s Basket Case. You can almost taste the Chelsea Hotel grime through the screen, the flophouse wallpaper and the odd light that only exists
From Terror to Farce: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 at 40 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Forty years on from its release, Adam Page revisits The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2… I’m going to start this by talking about disappointment. Real disappointment, the sort that lingers around like a broken transmission or a broken promise. It’s 1986. You’ve paid your money and settled down in the dark with nothing but your expectations, because 12 years earlier a Texas nobody named Tobe Hooper had reached inside your chest cavity with a documentary-grade 16mm camera and a chainsaw and then rearran
Is Natural Born Killers Actually Funny? Oliver Stone’s Savage Comedy and Why It Unsettles Us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adam Page revisits Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers… I want to start with a theory I’ve long held about America and its relationship with its own ugliness: they love it. They love it the way a dog loves rolling in something smelly and dead; with complete and shameless abandon, every single time. Oliver Stone understood this back in 1994, and the country has never quite forgiven him for it. Natural Born Killers is one of the most misread movies in American cinema. It is labelled with words lik
Campy on Purpose: Irony, Self-Awareness, and the Knowingly Bad Horror Movie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adan Page on the knowingly bad horror movie… There are plenty of bad movies out there, and us online writers come to depend on them for an endless stream of material. But there is one particular type of bad movie, and I’m being careful here as I’m making an important distinction, that knows just what it is. It’s the one which has looked itself in the mirror, assessed the damage it sees and has decided the damage is the point. It has laughed at itself pre-emptively just so you can’t. And I’m not
The Best Worst Movie: How Showgirls Became Camp Canon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adam Page revisits Showgirls and its journey from catastrophe to camp classic…. Over the years, I’ve realised something about failure, especially with bad movies, that I think we can all agree on: it has a shelf life, and if you’re patient enough, lucky enough, and if enough strangers laugh at the wreckage in the same room at the same time for long enough, failure matures into something else entirely. I don’t mean success, nothing as clean as that. It matures into meaning. And nowhere has that f
