a wild trip in a strange world
4 September 2017
Hey! Whaddaya know I am in this movie! And what a great piece of cinema it is! A wild ride through a world where artists, outsiders, opportunists, perverts, underground dwellers and geeks meet each other, fight against the movie establishment, make movies together then accuse and clash with each other. Of course it's full of wild stories, funny anecdotes and sleazy moments but what struck me the most was how these guys can sometimes fail and miss but with an always respectable courage will get up again beginning a new movie. This in-depth history of the Flemish, Belgian horror movies(from B to Z and sometimes an A) is punctuated by commentary from the devilish imp Jan Verheyen, maker of long forgotten sanitized romantic comedys, symbol of that movie establishment concerned only about numbers, be it in money or viewers, in sharp contrast with the interviews of the horror directors, guys you can only sympathize with seeing how they are driven by their love for movies. And in the end no matter what, their efforts paid and so many movies are out there : movies like Daughters of Darkness, The Afterman, Rabid Grannies and even my Maniac Nurses!
