Description

In 1989, filmmaker Barry J. Gillis and friends renewed the world’s faith in Canada with the horror brainbomb known as THINGS. But that was only the beginning. WICKED WORLD is not only Gillis’ 1991 follow-up to THINGS—it’s also a new form of genre anarchy. Grant Ekland (Gillis) is a cop who is haunted by the death of his girlfriend at the hands of a psychotic slasher named Harold. When Harold is released from an asylum, there’s only one option for Ekland: revenge! Filled with metal riffage, gnarly ultra-violence, and experimental techniques, WICKED WORLD feels like what would happen if Salvador Dali injected acid directly into his brain while staring at a Cannibal Corpse LP cover. This is a highly personal treatise on the toxicity of society from one of the most singular filmmakers in trash-horror history.

    Blame the Hack Frauds!

    This one is entirely RedLetterMedia’s fault. Once a movie gets lodged in my brain through RLM, there’s a decent chance I’m eventually going to want the physical copy, and this felt like exactly the sort of deranged little artifact that deserved a place on the shelf.

    You can really tell this is made by the same folks behind Things. Couldn't make heads or tails of what was happening.

    From the darkest bowels of ****. . .

    This thing really feels like it was forged in deepest, darkest bowels of ****. Nothing quite compares to it and it really is a unique, weird, ugly experience. Pure DIY nightmare fuel, underpinned by sadness and despair.
