OTBKB Movies: Freaky Cats at BAM
OTBKB is thrilled to present a semi-infrequent series of pieces to be
contributed about film and written by Pops Corn. He writes: "Thanks for allowing me on
your screen. I promise not to always cover weird horror. It's
seasonal."
BAM gets real loose consistently every year at Halloween. A few years back, they shocked me by busting out the truly (and unjustly) unloved Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
Screening a much maligned sequel in a typical arthouse setting wasn't enough - they dedicated a day to it. I'm a bit obsessed with this film in part because of the song that plays frequently in a commercial throughout the film. So, God--scratch that,Satan, as per the holiday--bless them for that wonderful Halloween a few years back that was enjoyed by me and about 7 other people.
BAM strikes again this Halloween with the miniature dual film series beautifully titled Freaky Cats.
It's honorable enough to show Sleepwalkers for a day,
a true B-movie Stephen King adaptation with character actress Alice
Krige at her most unhinged (and incestuous).
But the don't-miss item appears to be a 1977 Japanese film called House (Hausu). I have yet to see this one, but I was introduced to the mind-blowing trailer If the trailer is at all indicative of the movie, it is certain to be a masterpiece of the bizarre. One day only - October 31st.
