Let’s give three cheers for, well, three things: special effects people, cartoonishly terrorizing punks, and Tab Hunter showing up to save the day. This trifecta (and much more) is brought to you by Grotesque (1988), a truly loopy home invasion thriller with enough turns for two films and enough B movie savvy to have you laughing along with it.
Given a limited theatrical run by Empire Pictures in September, Grotesque wasn’t even embraced by horror fans, who were thoroughly thrown off by the tonal whiplash present in the final product; I get it, but at the same time it gives you so much movie for your money that it can’t be faulted on its ambitions.
An interminable opening kicks us off, as we watch a maiden locked in a castle get accosted by a cloaked monster. The film suddenly cuts, and we find ourselves in a Hollywood screening room,...

Philippe Mora is planning a film that honours Sir John Monash, the Australian General who led the Allied forces which smashed through the German lines in the Battle of Amiens on August 8 1918.
.My opinion is that the Australian contribution to winning WW1 is under-appreciated internationally and this will be reflected in this new film,. said Mora, the French-born, Los Angeles-based filmmaker who grew up in Australia.
.My mother Mirka and my father Georges knew Monash's famous friend Lizzie Bentwich, who befriended them in 1951 as young immigrants from Paris. My dad drove her around in his van with an armchair in it for her..
Mora hasn.t cast the lead role yet but said he.ll look for an actor who would become as synonymous with the General as was Peter O'Toole as Lawrence of Arabia. The victory prompted German General Ludendorff to concede, .August 8th was the black day of...
