Brutal as Hell-
I’ve lived in New England nearly all my life. And with all of the long winters I’ve endured I’ve only gone ice fishing once. It sucks. You spend the day freezing your ass off on a massive sheet of ice. For many though, it’s a welcome form of winter recreation. I say have at it. It’s not for me. Read More

This low-budget horror portmanteau film—helmed by the new generation of gore-teurs who brought you The Innkeepers, A Horrible Way to Die, and Silver Bullets—takes found footage and canonical fright flicks and turns them on their respective severed heads. When a group of misfits is hired to break into a rural mansion to steal a videocassette, they end up finding a dead body, a sea of video decks, and a frightful VHS compilation that forms the backbone of this genre anthology. A Magnet release.

| THE FILM: THE COMEDY (Rick Alverson | USA | 96 min.) Much like Five Easy Pieces or Mike Leigh’s Naked, director Rick Alverson and lead actor Tim Heidecker have masterfully created a captivating character study about an unlikable character. (Fans of Tim and Eric should delight in seeing a new level of skillful acting from the duo.) With Swanson (Heidecker) and friends cracking wise at everything life has, the film is funny as hell. But watching this crew romp indulgently—beer wrestling and drunkenly playing wiffleball, scathingly critiquing each other with straight faces and stoner eyes—it would all be so much mindless naval gazing if not for the sense of melancholy which imbues their actions. One has to wonder if they are having fun while they’re having fun. All these hilariously inappropriate failings become a search for the essence of humanity, finding connection despite differences, and his search would be the same no matter his race, class or cultural background. He’s not looking to “better himself”—the film is smarter, edgier and more true than that platitude. He doesn’t know what he’s looking to do. But this biting nihilist comedy is worth seeing for the unique cultural critique of a man burning through life fast and raw, aching with the painful hope of the perpetually cynical. |

“An entitled slacker chump who rides his beer gut like a chariot through the trust-funded wilds of Williamsburg, Swanson (comic Tim Heidecker, playing it straight) is a horseman of the Bro-pocalypse in writer-director Alverson’s corrosive statement on post-millennial America. The trench-mouthed character’s penchant for cheap antagonism and drunken invective can polarize audiences, just as the ambling, plotless structure asks them to regard this repugnant clod with heightened sensitivity—the better to calculate his damage. It’s bold stuff, a kind of latter-day evocation of the social antipathies of “Five Easy Pieces,” pushed to an absurdist brink. Laugh, cry or squirm? All of the above.” — Wall Street Journal
“This leaves Rick Alverson‘s The Comedy to approximate the sandpapery, stink bomb quality of Lewis’s aggravating art. A character study of an alcoholic, driftless 35-year-old of independent means who lives on a sailboat in the East River—an unreformable Arthur who amuses himself by hijacking menial jobs and periodically performing taboo-busting acte gratuits—The Comedyfeatures a deadpan lead performance by Tim Heidecker of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, making a mockery of family, friendship, romance, faith, and, in various views of his lardy torso, his own body. This darkness, illustrating Nietzsche‘s “Wit is the epitaph of an emotion,” is more disquieting than Compliance‘s, as one has to contend with the allure of such reprehensibility, choking back laughter.” — The Village Voice
… there’s the casually effective (Danny Trejo and Larry Fessenden along the criminal margins)…”
