The Devil Inside Her (1977)

The Devil Inside Her was the first horror-porn I ever saw. Back in my teenage years when I got my first apartment, an older punk rock dude showed me this movie. I have to admit it was weird at the time watching a porno film with another guy but the movie itself blew my mind. All these years later I finally found my own copy and it is probably among my all time favorites in the satanic-porn genre.

Obviously cashing in on the success of Gerard Damiano's classic The Devil In Miss Jones. This one is far more gritty and almost a bit disturbing. Vile images of depraved sexuality and debauchery fill the running time for this one. It never gets slow or boring with almost non stop satanic sex.

This one is set back in the 1800's on a farm. Faith and Hope are two sisters who love the same man but their domineering, bible bumping father does not approve of their lustful ways. When daddy catches Faith innocently kissing the man she loves he forces her to strip naked while he whips her with a switch from the ground. "Strip naked before god and show him your shame". When Hope learns that her sister is planning on marrying lover-boy she prays to the devil and offers her soul. She gets what she bargains for when a demon appears with some of the most disturbing cock-rings attached to his genitals. The rest of the movie is demonic possession and sex orgies with plenty of shape shifting and appearance changing. The demon takes the form of just about every character in the movie and tricks them all into a life of deviation.

I love this movie. It has a cool blasphemous plot and some really sick and twisted scenes. As I mentioned the demon wears some absurd cock-rings and its almost painful to watch him violently stretch his genitals. He also comes complete with some really bad KISS makeup. Then we have an old witch who is covered in warts and she gets in on the sexy action as well. In one of the grossest scenes a woman lay naked in the mud while masturbating with vegetables. I would imagine there was a yeast infection at the very least after this scene. Another great moment shows a man swinging from a tree while a horny nymph blows his dangling body. Annie Sprinkles shows up in a satanic orgy, we have fisting, golden showers, interracial sex, incest, lesbianism and just about any other depraved sex act you can think of. There is even a vicious dog that attacks a religious man.

I highly recommend this one to anyone who digs nasty porno movies from the 70's. If you like movies like Through The Looking Glass or of course The Devil In Miss Jones then this one is perfect. I know it is available on multiple DVD labels but I have the old Something Weird Video VHS double feature with Count Erotica - Vampire which I have not gotten around to seeing yet. Not sure if the DVD's have been remastered or anything but the old VHS is as gritty and grainy as they get. Personally the grit and grain works perfectly for me. I wouldn't really want to see a polished print of this thing. The Devil Inside Her is as filthy as they get. While it might not be the best option for some sexy alone time it certainly makes for a great party flick to shock your friends with.

The Devils Daughter (1939)

The Devil's Daughter is one of the worst movies I have seen in a very long time. Not exactly sure who this movie was marketed towards. This one sports a predominantly black cast and follows some jive talkin hep-cat from Harlem who is roaming around the plantation fields of Jamaica. He comes across a snooty upper class couple who get themselves into some trouble with the voodoo tribes.

The poster brags that it has an "All-Star colored cast" but I'm not so sure if any of these actors were stars. I can't really see this thing appealing to black audiences even in the 30's because it all comes off slightly racist. We have what seems like endless chit-chat about black magic and every couple of minutes we are tortured with another shitty song & dance number. Bongo drums play thru the majority of the film and after a while you just want to plug your ears but that wouldn't work very well either because the dialogue is so low and muffled with bad Jamaican accents.

The whole thing is a giant mess and it turns out to be more of a stamina test then anything else. Stay far away from this one.

Bride Of The Gorilla (1951)

Bride Of The Gorilla is a hard movie to classify and place in a genre. I suppose you could try to lump it in with all those killer gorilla movies from the 30's but this one has very little gorilla suit action. It is almost more of a witch flick with voodoo and black magic.

Dina is a sexy dancing blond who has grown tired of her elderly husband and life in the jungle. She wastes away her days dancing in her low cut leopard print outfits or flirting with her husbands workers. Barney in particular strikes her attention. When Dina's husband learns that Barney is making a move for his hot young wife he fires him but Barney convinces Dina to run off with him. Instead of leaving Barney sucker punches his old boss in the guts and leaves him for snake food in the jungle. About this time Lon (The Wolf Man) Chaney Jr. shows up as a cop who wants to convict Barney for murder but with lack of evidence he has no case to build. However it just so happens that an old witch witnessed Barney kill his boss but instead of turning him in to the police she places a voodoo curse on the murdering scum. 

The curse turns Barney into a sort of wild beast by night who roams around in the jungle and kills animals. Its only a matter of time before the beast starts hunting humans as well. This thing is full of plot holes and it really doesn't make to much sense in the end. Barney appears normal to those around him but when he looks in a mirror or a lake he is gorilla. However natives of the jungle claim they have seen him in beast form terrorizing the jungle.

Bride Of The Gorilla may not be the best movie ever made but it runs just over an hour and still manages to be cheesily entertaining. From Lon Chaney Jr. to the bad gorilla suit it serves as nothing more then a time waster. Nothing overly memorable in here but you could do worse.

Black Magic (1973)

Here's another off the wall psychotic horror gem from the Shaw Brothers. Typical of a Hong Kong horror flick Black Magic is all over the place with wall to wall mayhem and insanity. Warning! This one is perverse!

 So basically everyone in this movie is a horny bastard and this does include the women. For the sake of lust these hard-on's visit a Black Magic priest who is equally horny and perverted. For the right price this witch doctor will cast a spell and make someone fall in love with you. These love spells can last as little as a day or for a few years, this is of course up to the witch doctor. He also has the power to cast a "death spell" which happens to be his strongest spell. If the Black Magic priest chooses, he can kill you within three days.

   I love the methods and ingredients that the evil magician demands before casting a spell. It seems like he is just living out his own perverse fetishes. In one of the films most sleazy and memorable moments the witch doctor tells his client that he will need her breast milk. When she informs him that she is not pregnant and doesn't have any milk, the pervy old doctor gives her a concoction and before you know it this asian hottie is shooting tit-milk into a bowl. Now if thats not awesome, I don't know what is. Aside from all the hot milky lactation action we do have some centipede eating in this one. A Hong Kong horror flick without some centipede action is like a gay porn without mustaches. Its just wrong! So we do have that going for us. Oh and we also have a centipede puking scene as well just in case if you enjoy seeing it come up as much as it going down. Yum!

 We also have the expected hopping ghosts. I'm sorry they don't appear to be vampires in this one but did I mention this movie is perverted? This one is jam packed with bare breasted women and plenty of sex scenes. In one odd moment a woman has some paste shoved up her crotch and rice is pulled out? Not quite sure what was going on there but either way its bound to put a twinkle in your eye. We also see a human chin get set on fire and nasty moment where worms are crawling around under a woman's skin. I couldn't help but think how much cooler this is then the HELP ME scene in The Exorcist. Eventually a knife is plunged into the woman's back and the worms come falling out. Yuck!

Black Magic comes to its conclusion when we learn that there is a good witch doctor out there. Does he have his own movie, White Magic? You never know with the Shaw Brothers. The two magicians duke it out with some silly magic-fu and we all live happily after. Well that is at least until the sequel. I am aware of the fact that there is a Black Magic part 2 out there which I have not been lucky enough to see yet but it is on the list of things to do.

If you're a fan of this filthy shit, you would probably also dig Seeding Of A Ghost another horror smut-fest from the Shaw Brothers. However I have warn the Kung Fu fanatics that there is absolutely no martial arts in this movie and when I say none that means none. Sorry guys seek out another one if thats what you're looking for. Still Black Magic will kick you in the balls. This one is just great!

Halloween III : Season Of The Witch (1982)

Most people really do not like this movie. Those who out right hate will always say "Halloween 3 sucks. Michael Myers isn't even in it". Then you get the ones that kind of like it who say "It shouldn't be called Halloween but it works okay as a stand alone movie". I'm really bored with both of these statements and the truth is I think I like the movie even more because it angers Halloween fanatics.

I like the original Halloween as much as the next guy but Halloween III : Season Of The Witch is good campy fun and if it wasn't called Halloween I think it would have been a bigger hit.

I think this was a simple case of a marketing scheme gone wrong. As if someone said, hey Halloween and its sequel were such huge hits the name alone will sell the movie. This probably worked initially but I think it really hurt the film upon its video release. Halloween series or not I like the movie and always will and for all those who say it sucks because Michael Myers is not in it they are wrong on both levels. Season Of The Witch is cool and Michael Myers is in it. There is a scene where Halloween is playing on t.v. and there you go. There is your fucking Michael Myers. Now you have to come up with a new argument!

A Pagan cult plans on killing the children of America on Halloween night as a sacrifice to the stars. Conar Cochran, the leader of the cult hides up in a factory where they mass produce Halloween masks and ship them out all over the world. These are not just any Halloween mask they are made with pieces of rock from Stone Henge and electronics and of course something evil. The masks are electronically on a frequency with a trendy television program for children that will take place Halloween night. All of the trendy American kids want a mask so they can watch their Halloween show in style. That is of course until their heads explode and worms, snakes and gross looking bugs will pour from their split open skulls.

Is it believable? Not so much but it sure is a fun watch. Season Of The Witch is pretty gruesome at times. We have multiple decapitations, a woman's face is split in half, two fingers are shoved into a mans eyeballs and his face is ripped apart, we have robots that spill greenish/yellow Phantasm style blood, a man is burned alive in a suicide scene, car explosions, bad early 80's computer graphics and a very memorable song that is played through out the film. The great Tom Atkins (Night Of The Creeps, The Fog) plays the hero and John Carpenter regular Nancy Kyes also shows up as a bitchy, nagging wife.

For me Season Of The Witch is a classic horror flick and a great choice for younger kids to pull off the shelf at Halloween time. For a kid this movie is pretty damn creepy and as an adult you have to appreciate it for its camp value. For a good time with exploding children's heads check this one out that is if you can get past the fact that it is part of the Halloween series.

Race With The Devil (1975)

Race With The Devil is a strange little {PG} horror flick from the 70's. It almost seems as if it were a made for television movie. If it weren't for the foul language at times it could totally pass as a made for t.v. flick. They even go as far as to blur out the female nudity in one scene which is very weird because I can't really see Race With The Devil really appealing to a female audience, so why not throw the men a bonus or a boner for that matter.

Peter Fonda (Easy Rider, Wild Angles) and Warren Oats (The Wild Bunch, Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia) pack their wives and hit the road in their big mobile home camper for the vacation of their lives. The plan is to go from Texas to Colorado but the trip becomes a trip from hell as they are terrorized by blood thirsty satanic killers.

Race With The Devil is a classic example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Fonda and Oats are getting good and drunk and talking about whatever when they witness a Satanic sacrificial offering. The only problem is that the Satanists know that they were witness to the murder and now it is a case of sweep and clear. All witnesses must go.

This movie is alright as a time passer. Most of the runtime is eaten up by car chases and stuff like that. We get all the cool car explosions that one would expect from a film like this and more. In one amazing scene a car flips at high speeds somewhere around 19 times. Trucks crash through barriers and fall off bridges and we basically just have a bunch of crazy stunts and vehicle destruction. Fonda fanatics will be happy to know that there is some motorcycle shenanigans and Warren Oats takes a nasty spill off a bike in one scene. Race With The Devil also offers up quite a bit of shoot-em-up mayhem with shotguns being the weapon of choice but we also have stabbings, a puppy is strangled and hung up as a warning. We have fun with fire, hillbilly bar fights and just about everyone in the world seems to belong to a Satanic cult.

In my personal favorite scene we see Peter Fonda wrestle with killer rattle snakes. Watching Fonda smash the shit out of rattlers is always high in entertainment but the film really could use some help in other areas. As I mentioned Race With The Devil is rated {PG} which is always a bit of a let down but even more importantly is how far fetched it all is. These vacationers travel from city to city and everywhere they go they are taunted by more members of the Satanic family. Everyone from librarians to police officers are all part of the cult and I really just do not buy into all of this. Then there is also the fact that the victims never decide to just go home. They are so dead set on continuing the trip that they are willing to die? To say the very least the movie is far fetched but luckily for me I can put some of these things behind me and just indulge in the car madness and Satan worshiping exploits.

A good time waster and braincell waster as well. If you are looking for a more believable tale of the same sort then you should of course stick with The Hills Have Eyes which would come out two years later and use cannibals rather then Satanists.

Demons 5 : The Devils Veil (1989)

The legendary Italian director Mario Bava is amongst the greatest film makers in horror history. His son Lamberto Bava although an acquired taste is rather hit or miss. Lamberto Bava started off strong with some very graphic and memorable splatter films from the 80's. Lamberto's earliest work (Demons, Macabre) is without a doubt his best work. As time went on the films of Lamberto Bava seemed to have gotten worse and worse. Demons 5 : The Devils Veil also known as Black Sunday (1989) is a perfect example of Bava Jr's. not so great work.

Lamberto Bava remakes his fathers classic Gothic horror film Black Sunday. He takes the film in a very different direction but somewhere along the way the remake falls very short. It starts off with a group of vacationers skiing in the mountains. They fall into a deep pit with no way out. One of them breaks their leg and the others seem to care less. They find a body buried in the snow with The Mask Of Satan nailed to the face. They remove the mask from the corpse and all hell breaks loose... Literally.

Next the group of vacationers are terrorized by an evil witch named Anibas and the film becomes very repetitive with scenes of sexual deviance and debauchery. It all comes in tact with typical possession & exorcism type stuff. Female nudity, whippings and of course some very bad dialogue. From what I have read this is a pretty rare movie and was barely seen in America. I can't exactly say that this is a bad thing considering that the movie was pretty lame and adds nothing new to Mario's classic tale.

Only worth looking at for Lamberto Bava completest and even so, I wouldn't expect much. The print I saw was almost completely drained of color. The images of gore that splatted its way across the screen were to soft to enjoy but even if someone released a pristine print I do not think it would be much better. My personal favorite moment shows the vacationers telling a girl with a broken leg to "stop crying. Were on vacation and we want to have fun". This one is just bad.

The Omega Man (1971)

My mother first showed me this movie when I was about ten years old. It scared the living shit out of me and has remained a favorite of mine for decades.

Taken from the 1954 novel I Am Legend, The Omega Man is the second film adaption of the book. The first being The Last Man On Earth with Vincent Price. There would be many more adaptions and remakes to follow of the years including Danny (Trainspotting) Boyle's 28 Days Later and of course the 2007 shit-fest I Am Legend with television loser Will Smith. Out of all of them, The Omega Man remains my favorite. It is action packed, creepy and has a social message to go with it.

Charlton Heston (Soylent Green) plays Neville, a scientist who survived a plague with the help of an experimental vaccine. Neville is the last man on earth. That is with the exception of an evil cult who walks the night in dark cloaks, trying to kill the scientist. The cult or "the family" as they like to call themselves blame science for the plague that shook man off the earth. They view Neville as the last living memory of an evil scientific world and they must kill him before he kills them. Neville is outnumbered hundreds to one but he does have a few advantages. The plague has affected the family members in such a way that they can not go out in the day time. They are overly sensitive to light in a similar way that a vampire would be.

Neville has another big advantage over the family that outnumbers him. He has the use of electronics and machines. This being everything from automobiles to guns. Since the family blames science for the end of civilization they are dead set against any modern machinery. They use primitive weapons such as make shift knives, spears and flaming torches. "Fire will cleanse the world". "We will kill that thing. That creature of the wheel".

Eventually Neville learns that there are some other survivors who have been hiding in the mountains, away from the family and Neville who they viewed as equally dangerous. When they learn that Neville has the answer to the plague they join forces with him but they consist of one man, one woman and a bunch of children. Neville sees this as a hope for the future but realistically they will probably just slow him down.

The Omega Man offers up plenty of shoot-em-up scenes, a creepy cult with rotten faces and crazy eyes, some 70's style interracial love making (complete with female nudity), explosions, corpses in the street, a typical 70's downer ending and a very good story. The acting is mediocore depending on the cast member but this doesn't slow down the entertaiment factor at all. Its a timeless cult classic and it comes highly recommended from yours truly over the many other retakes from the 50's novel.

The Omen II : Damien (1978)

The Omen 2 is one of the best horror sequels ever made. It certainly is better then any of the Exorcist sequels and it always makes for an entertaining watch.

Damien is now thirteen years old and we all know that when a boy hits the age of lucky 13 he starts to act a little crazy. Well the same thing goes for the son of the devil. For those familiar with the first film, Damien killed off his parents by the end of the movie. Now adopted by William Holden (The Wild Bunch) Damien has a whole new family to kill. In some of the more memorable moments we see a man get split in half in an elevator, a woman has her eyes plucked out by a bird in what seems like an Alfred Hitchcock homage. A man meets his end under the ice while ice skating, another is crushed between two train cars, we have a stabbing and death by explosion.

The thing that makes this sequel so interesting is that Damien is now learning who he is. He has had followers and enemies since his birth but when he hits the age of thirteen he becomes aware of his awesome power. Anyone who stands in his way will meet their end by Damien's super natural force. Amongst his followers is Lance Henricksen (Terminator, Pumpkinhead). Henriksen has a way of making sequels better doesn't he? Remember him in Piranha 2 : The Spawning? Lance Henrikesn informs Damien that one day the whole world will know who he is but until then he must remain quiet. He tells Damien to read the bible, chapter 13, revelations to have a better understanding of who he really is. Once Damien figures it out he doesn't exactly remain neutral. He poisons all of his classmates, he mentally destroys his teacher and even goes as far as to kill his best friend and stepbrother. There would be three more Omen movies and even a remake in the series but none of them can touch the first two films. The Omen 2 comes complete with a driving musical score, some pretty good acting and some unique death scenes.

This one tends to play on television a lot as we near Halloween. Of course they leave some of the brutality out as far as the man being split in half in the elevator and the women being run over by an eighteen wheeler truck. Check it out for some fun with Satanic children and killer birds.

Murder Obsession (1981)

Murder Obsession also known as Murder Syndrome, also known as Delirium (not to be mistaken for Lamberto Bava's movie), also known as Fear, also known as Satan's Altar, also known as The Wailing, also known as Unconscious and many more is as confusing as sorting out these titles.

This 1981 Giallo crosses elements from erotic horror and supernatural haunted house type flicks with Satanic cults, zombies and general slasher antics. Its almost as if they just didn't know which direction to take this film in.

The story reminded me a lot of movies like Three On A Meathook with the oh so familiar tale of a boy who has been brainwashed into thinking he is responsible for a horrible murder. Of course when the murders pick up again they want the viewer to believe that the boy is up to his old tricks again but come on, we were not about to fall for that one again, were we?

The first half of the movie is slow going but very strange things happening at the same time with what seems like dream sequence after dream sequence. We have skulls in trees that cry blood, zombies and giant spiders that chase half naked women around a castle. This is not exactly my cup of tea, especially if I was told I am in for a Giallo flick. Well this stuff goes on for quite some time and Murder Obsession never seems like a typical Italian slasher/mystery until the later part of the film and when it all shifts gears into more familiar Gialo territory it is all way to elaborate and confusing for the audience to really even care.

On a more positive note we do get a fair share of bare breasted ladies. Amongst the nudie-cuties is (Black Emanuele) Laura Gemser. As expected Laura Gemser offers up her naked body and she also gets killed off by the black gloved killer. Murder Obsession also comes complete with a bit of incest between a horny mother and her son but for me the main highlight was a completely out of place murder which shows a man having an axe embedded into his achy-breaky skull. Brain matter goes a-flying and it all happens so fast it just seems like a subliminal message thrown into the film to get the monster-kids to go on a blood crazed, axe murdering rampage. Who the hell did I just see get murdered and why does it look like he is wearing a Michael Myers, Halloween mask? I'm confused again...

There isn't much here to recommend, unless of course you like Italian murder mystery's that make no sense. I know there are people out there who praise this movie but I would rather stick with a Gialo that I can follow. Oh and leave the Michael Myers masks to the Americans. Thanks.

My Sweet Satan (1994)

In 1984 a Satan worshiping high school kid by the name of Ricky Kasso killed a friend in the suburbs of Long Island. Ricky Kasso also went by the name of The Acid King, since LSD was his drug of choice and used the drug frequently while hanging with his degenerate friends, listening to his AC/DC records or praying to Satan. There were multiple books and movies made about young Ricky Kasso because he stirred up some controversy at the time. Since the teenage murderer hung himself in his cell upon his arrest, it was necessary for someone else to tell his story for him.

My Sweet Satan is one of those Ricky stories. Written, directed and staring Jim Van Bebber the man who brought us the cult classic gore-fest Deadbeat At Dawn and later The Manson Family. This telling of Ricky Kasso and his Satanic escapades is strung together in a 20 minute or so short film.

Jim Van Bebber plays Ricky, who has had his acid lifted from his pockets at a shitty house party. The lame-brain who took his drugs will have to pay. Sure we all know Ricky is going to kill him but it was up to Mr. Bebber to deliver such a brutal murder sequence. Ricky invites his victim eat some acid in the woods and pray to Satan. The dumb-fuck falls into the trap. He does get to take some LSD but I'm sure he didn't know that he would be stripped nude and have his clothes thrown into the fire as an offering to the devil. Ricky makes his thieving pal pray to Satan. "Say you love Satan. Say it!" and then stabs the shit out of the kid. Next he stomps the high school hellcats brains out and it is one hell of a gory scene. Before we know it Ricky is a-swinging in his jail cell.

Since this thing was shot in 1994 and no where near the original murder. Jim Van Bebber blends in some more of his own personal interest and makes the character of Ricky out to be an Industrial Rivet Head type of character. Of course the real Ricky was a small piss-ant AC/DC kid and most Industrial types are not much tougher but Van Bebber is one tough looking mofo. Even if he does have bad tribal tattoos and a long Gothic kid hair cut. I would not fuck with this dude and I don't wanna end up nude and praying to Satan.

This movie also offers up some footage of piercings. Similar to something you would see in a Richard Kern flick. This one is always a fun quick time passer. The perfect gory kind of thing to entertain friends with short attention spans.

Antichrist (2009)

Antichrist is visually stimulating with very artistic and stylized cinematography but it doesn't paint a pretty picture. Perhaps the only moment of happiness is within the first five minutes of the film and then it quickly shifts gears into a very sad and dark place. The film opens up with a husband (Willem Dafoe) and a wife (Charlotte Gainsbourg) making love. The sex scene is shot in black and white and at a rate of 1000 frames per second. In other words, its shot in extreme slow motion. This sequence shows hardcore penetration in a shower. As the water drops from the couples genitals in the shower, their baby boy is escaping from his crib in the next room.

The baby climbs up to a window, pushes it open and walks out onto the ledge. The snow falls down in slow motion and we cut back to the married couple which is now in the bedroom. During their sexcapades they knock over a glass of water and the water falls to the floor in slow motion. Can anyone guess what we will see fall next in slow-mo? If you guessed the baby, you would have guessed right. This is about the extent of happy moments that Antichrist has to offer. The baby falls to his death and we move forward in time to a grieving period for the husband and wife. The rest of the film will be filled with grief and despair.

Willem Dafoe's character deals with his mourning at a normal pace but his wife is suffering from what the doctors call an A-typical mourning. Willem Dafoe, being a therapist is not willing to except this and decides to treat the woman he loves most without drugs. Instead he journeys into her mind through psychology and what he finds is quite appalling.

While psychologically treating his wife Willem Dafoe's character learns that she developed an abnormal fear for nature while she was writing a thesis in a secluded set of woods known as Eden. The couple take off to Eden to free her of the fear that is mentally tearing her apart. While the husband is a rational thinking man the wife in the story is much more in the mind frame of supernatural. She says things like "Nature is Satan's church" and she believes that since a woman's body is run by nature and not necessarily concious thought that this must mean the nature of woman is evil. We soon learn that the thesis she was writing about was in fact on this very subject mater.
                                                                                
Antichrist will again shift gears into more physically violent territory rather then mentally. The couple will end up fighting for their life and there is some truly disturbing moments to come. We are haunted by visions of mutilated animals and death seems to be all around. A talking fox rips its own guts out and then informs us that "Chaos reigns". A doe runs around with a stillborn fetus that has never fallen completely from the mothers body. A bird is eaten by ants and shared by a giant black Raven. The married couple will also both suffer from horrible bodily harm. Both of them have their genitals mutilated in a ultra-ghastly scene and only one of them will make it out of this place alive.

Many critics have called Antichrist a misogynistic movie and I don't really agree with this. Sure the female character is completely crazy but the movie never portrays a message of hatred for women. I think if anything it would be more honest to call the film chauvinistic because it shows the male character as a logical thinking being. Or a more efficient machine but it never looks at womanhood as a monster. It simply tells the story of a woman who went bats-crazy.

Antichrist comes complete with so many levels of depth. Each one worthy of discussion and analyzing. There is no clear message that is spelled out for the audience. Its a dark piece of art that came from the mind of Lars Von Trier who was in a very dark place himself. He made the movie as a personal experiment to help himself through his state of anxiety and depression. His own monsters have definitely made its way into the final product.

Watch this one with your best girl but I dare you to sleep comfortably when its all over.
