This movie rocks. I just recently saw it for the first time and I keep thinking about the beautiful control room. I’m a little claustrophobic and a bit of a luddite but this room seduces me anyway. The set design is in the whole film is great. The fx are insane.
* I watched this almost back-to-back with Eraserhead for an accidental body horror double feature

creepily depicts the mundane life of a killer. extra points for costuming, cinematography and generally pleasing colours

i’m spending the week in nyc this week so obviously as i’m walking the streets i‘m reminded of all my fav flicks set in this city...
special effects was written/directed by larry cohen - one of the coolest and weirdest b-movie writer/directors. i love all of his 70s-80s movies. they have the craziest scripts, he casts weird background characters, and always delivers a vibe. he’s usually working on a small budget so there’s a rawness and realness within his bizzaro worlds.
it stars a young eric bogosian (talk radio, uncut gems) playing an unhinged delusional director in the midst of making a very meta movie about a murder he committed. his loft in the movie is one of my fav sets ever. indoor stain glass windows, all red bedroom. i’m sure someone on here can tell me it’s precise location. it also stars zoe lund (ms. 45, bad lieutenant) - her accents, look, and range is unreal. i don’t wanna say too much and spoil the plot really, but if you dig movies about movies, brian de palma or abel ferrera stuff, then you should check this out…

Okay, maybe it was a terrible campaign that encouraged teenagers to smoke, but let's be honest: he was really cool.
