Doom Zone

Doom Zone

doom zone brandl

It's a family affair! Brandl pictures have been producing independent genre cinema for decades from their Bavarian hometown region they rarely like to leave. http://brandl-pictures.de/

The film dates back to a 2005 project and brings together an intelligent conspiracy sci-fi story and low-budget action-schlock and gore.

A bunch of strangers wake up in an alien no man's land trying to figure out what happened and where they are. The locals are bloodthirsty mutants, hostile creatures, and demons that only listen to the commanding sound of the chainsaw. The only help comes from cyborg bots that seem to have an agenda of their own.

Straight To Video: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Program category

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

tcm 2

STRAIGHT TO VIDEO
Straight to Video presents the ultimate video night every month at Amsterdam's LAB111 cinema. Insane cult films on original VHS, played from an analog video recorder, with glitches, trailers, blood, and beer! Beware, their presentation will be in Dutch, but the film in original language. As part of our festival’s theme 'Now We're Cooking!', Straight to Video brings their tape of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II” (1986), the notorious sequel to the 1974 horror classic. The Sawyer family (get it?) wins chili cook-offs with their secret recipe, unbeknownst to the judges that it includes human flesh. Obsessed Sheriff, played by the ever-intense Dennis Hopper, is on their trail. In an abandoned amusement park, the ultimate showdown unfolds between the lawman and Leatherface's chainsaw-loving cannibal family. Tobe Hooper returned to the director's chair more than a decade after “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (1974), completely changing the film's tone. The tension and subtlety of the original were replaced with pitch-black satire, outrageous splatter, and hysterical humour. Although the radical shift was divisive at first, with time, Hooper's vision gained recognition, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 emerged as a solid cult classic, hailed as one of the wildest and weirdest horror sequels of all time!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) [VHS]

Tobe Hooper, USA, 101 min, English, Dutch subs, horror.

Straight To Video presents the weirdest horror sequel on good ol' VHS-cassette: Tobe Hooper's ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2’. Chainsaw-wielding maniac Leatherface is up to his cannibalistic ways once again, along with the rest of his twisted clan, including the equally disturbed Chop-Top. This time, the masked killer has set his sights on pretty disc jockey Vanita “Stretch” Brock, who teams up with Texas lawman Lefty Enright to battle the psychopath and his family deep within their lair, a macabre abandoned amusement park.

Deep within the underbelly of Paris, there is a club that is the home of a secret, wicked society.

Their host is the elegant yet frightening Madame Sabatier. For their amusement, each member takes a turn and spins a true tale of depravity.

Frenky von Haze

frenky

 

De afsluitact dit jaar is Frenky von Haze! Hij speelt op zijn vintage jaren 80 keyboard en zingt over piemels, tieten en een hoop andere kutzaken. Je zou Frenky kunnen herkennen van de band Frenky en de Freaks. Je weet wel; die zotte band die meedeed aan Holland’s Got Talent met die dinosaurus op klokkenspel en die duif op accordeon. Het kan ook zijn dat je hem kent van zijn wel erg gewaagde kersthit die door Giel Beelen op de radio werd gedraaid. Misschien ken je hem wel van zijn absurdistische videoclips die meteen door Dumpert opgepikt werden en viral gingen door heel Nederland. Of je kent hem omdat je hem ergens tegen kwam op een festival toen je ergens stond bij een afterparty waar Frenky zijn muziek ten gehore bracht of wakker werd gemaakt door zijn ontbijtshow. Het kan ook zijn dat je hem kent als stijlicoon omdat je hem ergens zag lopen in zijn panter outfit of dat je onder de indruk was van zijn dessineerde panter keyboardkar. Het kan natuurlijk ook zijn dat je hem helemaal niet kent… En dat je hem ook helemaal niet wilt leren kennen... Tja… maar als je dus van gekke, vieze, rare, zotte, vage, lijpe maar toch originele kut nummers houdt gespeeld à la Mambo Kurt op een vintage keyboard in een panter jasje, dan zou ik toch maar eens een keer gaan kijken naar een showtje van Frenky von Haze!
