Slaughterhouse of the Rising Sun (2005)
Finally a true homage to early 70's films
I saw this film at the Denver Underground Film Festival and I was so surprised to to see such a funny, campy and creepy film. Although this is a new film, you would swear this was made in 1972. All of the characters are hilarious and memorable -- especially the psycho-duo Guilty and Violence (they're also really hot!!!). The movie touches on so many horror and exploitation films from the time -- from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Last House on the Left" to Russ Meyer's films and all the groovy counter culture films from back then. Even the music, editing, titles and effects are dead-on. The film is definitely the kind you'll see at midnight shows for years to come. It has the kind of lines that people will probably interact like they do with "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". I can't wait to see this again. A true modern cult classic.
