Sins of the Fleshapoids, etc.

Every element of the three films featured on this DVD (Sins of the Fleshapoids, The Secret of Wendel Samson, and The Craven Sluck) was a complete surprise; I knew absolutely nothing about it, except that Netflix considered it a movie I would love. And I did. All three. I've since looked the Kuchar brothers up, finding the work absolutely divine, wondering: is there more that I can get my hands on? 

I'm not sure what to say; the three films are very different. The elements they share are an obviously-low budget, awkward/"bad" acting, script and plot, low-fi "special effects," and an interest in subversive sexuality. Sins was actually the least remarkable - though I must allow that it was the first of the three I watched, and was therefore a complete shock to my babied senses. My roommate and I were reminded of John Waters at times, as his films are also frequently interested in sex, drag, the disgusting, and apparently cheaply made. The envelope referred to the Kuchar brothers as the creators of "bargain basement cinema." If this is truly something beyond their films, I'm absolutely thrilled to have discovered it. I highly recommend... to some of my friends.
