Live At The Death Factory ·

2022/02/22

#19 - You Think You're A Zombie, You Think It's A Scene

Live At The Death Factory ·

2022/01/14

In this episode we discuss the entire span of Rob Zombie's directorial career before focusing on the much-maligned Lords Of Salem. He's great. I don't expect you to watch Three From Hell or anything, that sucks, but if we sat there and figured out he was great then you should too.

#18 - Demon I Am And Face I Peel

Live At The Death Factory ·

2021/12/24

This episode we talk about two unclassifiable pieces of nightmare art from the darkest corners of the scum cinema cannon, both of which were released over a decade after the conclusion of principal photography when key members of cast and crew had long since died. It's an understandable struggle to imagine a film more strange and cursed that Andrew Getty's passion project The Evil Within but that's why it took a special kind of mind to imagine Flexing With Monty.

#15 - God Hates You

Live At The Death Factory ·

2021/11/09

We take a look at a couple of SOV films we didn't enjoy so much and discuss the pitfalls of treating it as a genre instead of a format before a long-form discussion of SHATTER DEAD, a pretty incredible zero budget low-key post-apocalyptic film from 1994, haunted by a Messiah Of Evil atmosphere and dripping with Dell Abyss miserabilism.

#14 - We Dine On Visions With New Eyes

Live At The Death Factory ·

2021/10/31

We discuss unheralded member of the scum pantheon Singapore Sling in great detail after spending maybe ten minutes on White Marriage which, in our defense, has a similar vibe and a far better poster that it probably deserves. Live At The Death Factory has resumed full production.

#13 - I Have No Blood On My Hands. I Have Blood On My...

Live At The Death Factory ·

2021/08/30

This week we examine 2011's chick tract writ large Megan Is Missing, one of the most truly evil films of the last several decades. Why has ever teenager seen this? What can a film do when it feels like it has the forces of good on its side? How much exponentially worse does this get once you discover behind the scenes details? What is the spell to destroy this film? What would Peter Sotos say?

#12 - I Am Mud And Flame

Live At The Death Factory ·

2021/08/23

When does the agony of self-realisation begins to warp reality itself? Afraid Of The Dark merciless portrayal of childhood isolation through illness and the degree to which that isolation can cause a loss of self. Penda's Fen is a devastatingly beautiful story of queer self-realisation through the embrace of England's pagan history and then dismantling of its flatulent and evil conception of its own patriotism.

Live At The Death Factory ·

2021/08/09

This week we look at SOV fraught homosociality shocker Venus Flytrap and journey into the worst of every kind of awkward silence of your teenage years in you-are-in-a-slint-song-right-now too-real teenage nightmare Bugcrush.

#10 - You Can't Kill Me Cause I'm Already Inside You

Live At The Death Factory ·

2021/08/02

This week we discuss In The Dark, an adaptation of Richard Laymon's novel of the same name. This film was never officially released or distributed and wasn’t screened other than in some festivals around 1999/2000. It’s currently on youtube in full, though! It’s a hidden SOV masterpiece, a deeply individual and confident adaptation that is shockingly underseen. We tell you to watch the film on Youtube, discuss the film strengths and then talk about when your perception of a film can wildly develop

#8 - Local Support

Live At The Death Factory ·

2021/07/12

This week we look at two 1980s SOV films that chronicle a local scene by organising an appropriate narrative around some live footage. How successful are they? How much story does a scene need? Is Florida a real place? All these questions and more will be answered as we review What Ever Happened To Susan Jane - 1982 - Marc Huestis and Twisted Issues - 1988 - Charles Pinion
