The Monster of Mangatiti (2015)

The Monster of Mangatiti (2015)
Dir. Ric Pellizerri, New Zealand, 69 min

Picture
Welcome back to Film Gutter, and tonight we're venturing to new shores. Our tour of extreme cinema has taken us to plenty of places so far, but this is our first visit to the islands of New Zealand. Another movie I knew nothing much about, having simply stumbled across this one on UK Netflix – and the blurb of the story of a young girl trapped and kidnapped a long way from civilisation and New Zealand certainly made this one sound just our particularly strange cup of tea. So without a second thought I pressed play on The Monster of Mangatiti.

LANDMINE GOES CLICK

LANDMINE GOES CLICK (2015)
Dir. Levan Bakhia, Georgia, 110 mins

Picture
It’s always a pleasure to head to new shores here at Film Gutter – one of the great delights of the series is that it enables you to watch work from all over the world, and today it’s off to Eastern Europe and a jaunt to Georgia. I’ve seen a couple of Russian films before, which have definitely pushed boundaries aplenty, so I was pretty excited for the journey. This is Landmine Goes Click, a movie I’d heard about long before release and loved the look of the trailer for.

Deadly Famous (2014)
​
Dir. Jim Lane and Eric Troop, USA, 89 mins

Picture
There seems to have been rather a spate of movies that take a distinctive swipe at the Hollywood system of late. The most mainstream of those would probably be David Cronenberg’s wonderful Maps to the Star, and the horror genre certainly hasn’t missed the boat with the striking Starry Eyes and Jimmy Weber’s impactful Eat. It’s something that fascinates me, as someone with a real passion for film, and also as a big advocate and viewer of indy film there is a certain appeal in movies taking a swipe at the biz. Which leads us rather neatly on to today’s movie, Deadly Famous, which follows an ageing child star whose career – and indeed life – is taking a serious turn for the worst...

Welcome back to Film Gutter everyone, and today it's another one of those movies that I knew next to nothing about before venturing into. Sometimes this yields great results and other times it can be an unmitigated disaster. However a title like Sick Girl immediately spoke to me, so I thought this one was worth a shot. So let's dive in, shall we?

FILM GUTTER: GROTESQUE (2009)

Come on in, the water's hideous...


Grotesque (2009)

Dir. Koji Shiraishi, Japan, 73 mins

Picture
Welcome back to Film Gutter, and today's movie well and truly lives up to its grandiose name. This Japanese splatter offering is surrounded by notoriety, having been refused a UK DVD release in 2009 by the BBFC, whom I quote in saying... 'Grotesque features minimal narrative or character development and presents the audience with little more than an unrelenting and escalating scenario of humiliation, brutality and sadism.' Scary stuff, but of course it takes more than that to put us off here at Film Gutter...
