Rubber Johnny (2005)
A Mind-f*ck
Rubber Johhny is the latest effort from British film maker, Chris Cunningham. Cunningham has extensively worked with electro music legends, Aphex Twin, together they have created some of the most disturbing music videos ever, including 'Come to Daddy'.
Rubber Johnny is a disturbing trip into the mind of a isolated, disfigured misfit who is locked in a basement. His only company is a dog.
Using rapid editing and distorted camera work, Cunningham has created a visceral nightmare which manages to shock during it's six minute running time. Cunningham obviously has a lot of confidence when it comes to combining music with vision, and this is Rubber Johhny's genius. The film will undoubtedly leave a sick taste in your mouth, but the running time is disappointing. I was left wanting a lot more.
Please give Chris Cunningham a big budget so he can create a 90 minute nightmare.
Rawhead Rex (1986)
Terrible, Terrible waste of my time
When I pick up a cheap looking low budget horror movie I do have some expectations. I expect crap acting, a dodgy plot and plenty of blood and guts. I expect to see the film makers putting a lot of time into the special effects to make them as sick as possibly.
Unfortunately, Rawhead rex just has the bad acting and the dodgy plot. There should have been more blood and nudity.
The only scene that I found interesting was when he attacks the caravan site for the second time. We see some breasts, some hilarious acting, a head being ripped off and an explosion. Apart from that minute and a half worth of entertainment the rest was trash.
