Last evening I accompanied Jack Haven to the NY screening of the Cannes sensation Teenage Sex Murders. My dear friend, Jack Haven, the director of October Crow as well as Looking for Brooke, had starred in Jane Schoenbran's underground film SEE THE TV GLOW and playef Little Death in Teenage Sex and Murderurder with an air conditioning duct on her heads and body covered by a white Hazmat overall. Little Death spares no one.
As an American I am very familiar with slasher films starting with PSYCHO 1960, but I was unprepared for Jane's successful triangulation of horror, gore, and fear to attack the frigidity of sexual pleasure in America thanks to a generation reared on abstinence by the PG Hollywood movies, while allowed internet access to hardcore XXX movies. Teenage Sex Murder is a paean to the golden years of slasher films weaving through historical hints of famous scene from THE SHINING, TEXAS CHAIN SAW MURDERS, HALLOWEEN et al.
I loved how create a masterpiece from nothing. The genuis of pure trash as death is as close to sex for many young audiences. I don't scare easy. TSM didn't scare me. I was entertained, amazed, and surprised by its brilliance. pleasingly surprised.
Lead Gillian Anderson adopted her role to the hilt to create an aura of yes this is real, because nothing is real.
Best film of the and I have seen most thanks to free stream.
I congratulated Jane and thanked them for opening the audience to their prison of pseudo morality.
Jack and I will begin filming our third film THE NONMISERABLES in July.
