BLACK PAST. This starts out as a mullet haired story of teen love before descending into utter madness and carnage. Olaf Ittenbach directs and stars in this, as school boy Thommy who spends his days arguing with his sisters and mooning over a girl in his class at school. He finally gets the girl of his dreams only to have her become possessed by an evil mirror on their second date and kill herself. After much moping about in his underpants all manner of chaos erupts in both his dreams and real life...
I really enjoyed this much in the same way I enjoy the pictures my kids draw which look nothing like the subject matter. Ittenbach is spot on with the gore and splatter but the scenes of Thommy's day to day life have a naive charm to them, that linger in the mind long after all the cock chopping and lady garden hacking mayhem has finished.
