FILM GUTTER NEWS: OCTO-BOLL IS HERE!!

This October Film Gutter will be going simply Boll-istic with a month of movies from one of the world’s most infamous and divisive directors, Uwe Boll.

While Boll may have retired from film-making having completed the Rampage trilogy, his body of work retains a unique fascination for many film viewers, myself included. With a remarkable four movies in IMDB’s bottom 100, many of them video game tie-ins, Boll has released a range of comedies, horror movies, dramas, actions films and more, alongside work producing, writing and as a restaurateur.

While many of his movies have been critical flops, personally I’ve never understood the hate – I really enjoyed having the chance to interview Boll for the series, and all of his movies I’ve watched to date have ranged from passable to pretty damn good. The Rampage trilogy were all interesting movies, and Stoic was a distinctly brutal offering with some very good actors on board. But maybe it’s time we dug a bit deeper…

With a new documentary on the way, suitably called ‘F**k You All – The Uwe Boll Story’ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8476314/) we thought this’d be a good chance to look at some more of the output of this singular director. So, over the next four weeks, we’ll be reviewing Postal, Attack on Darfur, House of The Dead and Seed to see just how earned the man himself’s reputation is. We’re going to have a Boll (ball? Get it?) and we hope you have fun reading them too!
