Music that makes you feel like you are here
#Junesploitation DAY 13: 90S HORROR
DUST DEVIL (1992) Richard Stanley
Blurring road movie & slasher while rooted in the Namibian landscape, Stanley's mystical terror acts as a thematic bridge between folk horror & theological/esoteric 90's neighbors The Prophecy & Lord of Illusions.
#Junesploitation DAY 10: PRIVATE EYES
BLACK BOOTS, LEATHER WHIP (1983) Jesús Franco
Like an honest whore, filthy flatfoot Al Pereira will do anything for money—which in this case includes involvement in a slowly rolling sadomasochistic chain of events normal people would question.
#Junesploitation DAY 11: DISASTERS
THE CASSANDRA CROSSING (1976) George P Cosmatos
All aboard the transatlantic towering germ: an all-star disaster flick filtered through the Italian instinct to gloriously inflate any trend—& love it or leave it, it's still one cozy trainwreck.
#Junesploitation DAY 12: KUNG FU
SHAOLIN VS WU TANG (1983) Gordon Liu
Liu at peak cool in dazzling style-vs-style combat with the heartfelt moral that sharing knowledge beats guarding it—but if you wanna come sweatin' stressin' contestin' expect a sharp sword to the midsection.
#Junesploitation DAY 9: THRILLERS
THE TOUCH (1992) Albert Mkrtchyan
A cop begins to doubt reality after responding to a murder-suicide possibly prompted by a ghost in this unsettling benchmark of post-Soviet domestic horror whose nebulous sonic landscape of fisheye fright still chills.
#Junesploitation DAY 8: ZOMBIES
NEITHER THE SEA NOR THE SAND (1972) Fred Burnley
While never full tilt necromantic, its measured melodramatic drone of muted mortalis interruptus is a superior, albeit more downbeat shade of the monkey's paw lover bargain than recent iterations.
#Junesploitation DAY 7: FREE SPACE
MASCARA (1983) Henri Pachard, Roberta Findlay
A journey of friendship, sex positivity & self-recognition between two women navigating potentially subjugate roles that examines with surprising depth the ways people socially perform in order to connect.
