One of the best King adaptations. Thanks @sonofkaras.bsky.social and #SpaceApeCinema gang!
I’ll be hosting WEAPONS on #ImpromptuTheater Monday and DEADLOCK (1970) on #CultShelf Tuesday! Have a great rest of the weekend!
The director here did a few Kickboxer sequels, a recent Nic Cage movie JIU-JITSU, and a movie I’ve been circling for #CultShelf : his first directorial effort, PRETTY SMART. #Riffotronic
Sneak abort his girlfriend's baby?
Strangle the AntiChrist?
Robert is just full of great ideas. 🤦♂️😖

So... like yhe ending of #Saturn3?
#CultShelf
I gave up after an hour because the evil imagery was becoming unintentionally hilarious. Also, yeah, Angel being the survivor twin probably makes him the 2nd son AntiChrist, not Sara's kid.

Thanks @cultshelf.bsky.social / @rsmon77.bsky.social for that mindfuck of a movie with added Kirk Douglas jumpscares.. Get some sleep if you’re headed that way, #CultShelf friends💕
PS-TUBI roulette gave me more rather promising mindfuck theater
PPS-drop by #SatMat for some Easter horror(info⤵️)
#CultShelf
To tease you to Tuesday’s arthouse Western flick:
youtu.be/5eR-lvjkccs?...
An odd mashup of the Omen and 2001. Thanks @cultshelf.bsky.social and #cultshelf ers. Take care. See ya soon.
And with that, thanks #CultShelf brethren! Next week, we have weird Westerns with DEADLOCK (1970) and Alex Cox’s STRAIGHT TO HELL! Until then, take care and get some sleep!
USA USA USA

Now, the Prime version is the American cut which basically is Kirk heads home to the board meeting with Angel…and suicide bombs it, killing everyone! #CultShelf
So here’s where your Tubi and Amazon Prime experience changes things: on Tubi is the European version where Ángel announces he’s continuing the project and Kirk raises his kid to eventually fight Angel. Open ending. #CultShelf
You mean to tell me that someone had Kirk Douglas contained (even if just fictionally) and he was allowed to escape?!
#CultShelf #TheChosen
Someone should break the tension by saying they’re Spartacus

Dude was like, “serves me right for flying on a Boeing plane”. #CultShelf
Modern dress wasn’t his strong suit

I think that was just CCTV footage tbh😶

Nothing like a good old head crushing! #CultShelf
Simon Ward looks like Young James Spader crossed with Dane DeHaan.. ugh it’s been bugging me this entire film!
#CultShelf #TheChosen
Did Kirk Douglas just try floating the idea of an abortion to his live-in girlfriend who is repulsed by churches? I'm sure this conversation will lead to more sex.

Somehow I think this whole thing is a meta commentary on Michael casting Nicholson in Cuckoo’s Nest
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Well, once you have one brother killed, you can’t really stop there, right? #CultShelf
Well, the Tubi ending is the one that European audiences saw, and the one on Prime has a little extra for its American release. #CultShelf
You can listen to Ennio Morricone’s score and soundtrack for “The Chosen” AKA “Holocaust 2000” (1978) for free here (youtube.com/playlist?lis...)

Gaze! Gaze upon the horrors of complete bodily autonomy for women in a post-sexual revolutionary society!

In guessing it has something to do with calling it holocaust 2000 or not 🤔

Did the computer just commit seppuku?

I just noticed there’s a very significant difference in the version of this on Prime than there is on Tubi, specifically the ending. But we’ll get to that in a bit… #CultShelf
