Love God - Frank Grow - USA/Japan - (1997)




Plot by Imdb: " A man with a very odd reading problem gets released from a mental hospital and is put in a halfway house. However, he has some very strange neighbors.. not to mention a prehistoric worm and an Indian goddess run amok."

This movie recreates the experimental savagery and punk attitude of the b-movie masterpieces of the 80's, with its mix of fun, gore, improbable characters, a fabulously insane script and some latex monsters with tentacles. Yeah. It's that good. I must admit I felt a thing for the psychopath woman that thinks she is Kali, for her wonderful appearance and mystical killing frenzy.
From the premises (a psychiatric hospital relocates some patients to a creepy downtown hotel) to the core of  the story (a prehistoric worn mutate into an ancient god and looks for a soul mate), this is one for the Franck Henenlotter's fan that's spleeping inside you: a monstruous tentacle goes out the toilet and tries to steal jewelery (?!!), a Woman in Blue make-up (Kali) goes on a killing rampage because Shiva asks her so, an germaphobic woman is rubbing her mother to death, our hero is making a giant bubble gum statue while reading and destroying the jokes inside. It all ends up, after the happy ending where our two mentally disturbed heroes kiss each other in the back of a cab, driven by a monster - after the credits - by an ancient gods monstrous orgy.
An ancient gods monstrous orgy.
I'll let you deal with that for a second......
Yes.
Now, you know.
It is an absolute masterpiece of "out-there" cinema and you have to see it once in your life.

PS: of course, it's co-produce with Japan. Who else ?
