Star Time

I've been steadily purchasing nearly every VS release since the time that Star Time was released, but it was one of the very, very few I skipped. Nothing I ever saw regarding it ever appealed to me - I didn't like the cover, the design of the packaging gave me cheap alt-arthouse-sci-fi vibes for some reason, and no review or mention online ever piqued my interest.

Until the New Beverly Cinema recently programmed it, and on their promotional podcast, someone mentioned the thing that finally made me leap to purchase it.

So I say this in case there's someone else like me out there, who will only be moved by this one thing:

THE LEAD ACTOR WAS BRENDA'S DRAMA CLASS TEACHER ON BEVERLY HILLS *****.

That's all you had to say, VS. I would have owned this blu ray like a decade ago if you had just come out and been honest with us.

And, turns out: it's a fascinating little film on its own merits. Worth a look even if you don't get here via West Beverly High.

One of my favorite release of the early VS years

A bizarre, grimy crime movie that feels like a fever dream made on a shoestring budget. It’s rough as ****, but there’s something weirdly hypnotic about it.

Really interesting 90s art-house slasher with surreal imagery. Nice discovery

Decent slasher . Campy.
