Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Chase_Witherspoon Essentially a two-person stage play with the fatally unhinged former make-up man Rooney recreating his favourite motion pictures on an old, abandoned sound stage using abducted actress Anders as his muse. The film conveys her attempts to escape, and Rooney's lunacy as he flits between vague coherency and outright mania. Larry Cohen's impressive set design is eye-catching, although the music tempo is at times so frantic as to become irritating. I've read a lot of reviews concerning this movie, and the majority seem to charge it with a contempt normally reserved for those films so pathetic, they even fail on cult status. Sure, it's probably a little too avant garde for the average punter (myself included), and yet, it's strangely compelling with a truly maniacal performance by Rooney. If you'd been accustomed to the Mickey Rooney of the 1940's, then you're in for a shock; his turn is quite raw, maybe somewhat self-indulgent (in showcasing his range), but certainly remarkable.Anders certainly isn't the acting dwarf some have painted, though her dialogue is scarce by comparison, while the once-ubiquitous Keenan Wynn has a brief but memorable cameo, and there are a host of extras that form Rooney's heyday hallucinations (and who look like a theatrical company) - many of them sans costumes in full-frontal glory just to underline the point that Rooney has totally flipped his switch. I almost fell asleep after just ten or so minutes, but persevered and while not a masterpiece, found the overall result intense if at times uneven and probably unfairly maligned as a turkey.

Tony Benedetti One of the worst pieces of poop I have ever witnessed in my entire life. I fell asleep while watching it and never saw the ending, nor do I want to waste time watching it again. It's pretty boring, because most of the movie takes place in the dressing room. It only has three characters which also makes it torture to sit through. I found Mickey Rooney pretty annoying throughout. Not to mention,the movie stinks so bad, all the Oust in the world won't get rid of the stench. I'd rather watch paint dry. Avoid all all costs, unless you need something to help you fall asleep. This was included in Mill Creek's "Drive In Classics" 50 pack. This being one of the worst in the entire set.

The_Void Well...from the plot description, you would certainly be forgiven for thinking this one sounds promising, and indeed it does; but what we have here is a very turgid movie that doesn't make good use of any of it's positive elements. The base of the plot is not particularly original as it had been used in previous (and superior) films such as The Collector in 1965 and focuses on a man who takes a girl hostage. In this case he is the insane makeup man B.J. Lang and he keeps the girl in his prop room. Former child star Mickey Rooney takes the lead role and succeeds only in making a fool of himself. The film really lacks direction and the characters' motivations are never really made clear, which often made me question why I was actually watching it. Director Yabo Yablonsky clearly doesn't have a clue and it's not surprising that he didn't direct anything else after this film as his direction adds nothing and he obviously didn't know where to go with his own story and doesn't get the best out of his central performers. Overall, this film certainly doesn't come recommended. See The Collector instead!

kpietrangeli I would simply state that this movie was less than horrible, but I feel that would be too nice. Basically, I would rather consume rancid lobster than endure this cinematic travesty again. I respect Mickey Rooney as a great American actor and I have enjoyed many of his films but he should definitely abstain himself from any experimentations with abstract art and hallucinogens. I wouldn't recommend this film to the devil himself.
