Product Description

In the darkly phantasmagorical world of the carnival magician and sideshow hypnotist, the gruesome "illusions" of Montag the Magnificent are unique in that they seem to become retroactive reality long after the the tricks are done. Is it coincidence, or circumstantial evidence of the world's most diabolically ingenious murders?

Who'd have thought that someone would bother to remake this silly Herschell Gordon Lewis gore-fest. Fewer still would expect it to actually be a good film. Kasten takes the original's basic premise of a magician who creates the illusion of killing people on stage, only for them to die later in eerily similar ways, but makes of it a decent plot, and adds extra seediness. Crispin Glover is Magnificent as Montag, and is particularly lunatic in the bull-oven scene. Admittedly, it lapses into near incoherence towards the end, but it's not a big problem when the film is crazy in the first place. The extras are great as well.

Never having seen the H G Lewis original, this film has to stand or fall on its own merits, or lack thereof. Reporter Ed bigelow (Kip Pardue) has received tickets to see Montag the Magnificent's magic show. Montag (Crispin Glover) puts on a show so shocking that when the audience is about to walk out, the lights go up to reveal nothing untoward at all. However, the supposed victims later turn up dead, killed in similar ways to their magic show deaths. Is it really diabolical magic? Is it all an illusion or is someone being framed and if so, who is framing whom?

This film was confusing and fascinating at the same time. Crispin Glover gave a convincing performance as the devilish Montag. With his on-stage mannerisms and the use of camera angles one could easily think that he was a real magician on stage. Contrary to this, the Ed Bigelow character seems to live in a time warp; he dresses like someone out of a 1950's noir, even his apartment is furnished in 1950's style. On top of this the plot got very confusing at the end. It is all very well the writers and director knowing what is going on but are they conveying this to the audience? In this case I think not. I got the impression that this film was being too clever for its own good. On the other hand, it is intersting enough to warrant repeat viewing.

The most interesting aspect of this DVD is the 80 minutes extras. There are features on the making of the film, the Suicide Girls, special effects, deleted scenes and outtakes and trailer. Give it a go. Confused? You will be.

Remake of the Herschell Gordon Lewis blood splattered 1970 flick. In most ways this is a remake in name only. Crispin Glover is the major star here who plays a magician with a different angle. Seemingly killing people live on stage- but is it all just a trick? And is the reporter who is so obsessed with his shows involved in murder?

Directed pretty well using dutch angles with many different colour tints, the movie feels like a throwback to 50s noir at times, although there is plenty of gore, so not for the squeamish. Glover gives an over the top but very good performance. A quick eye will catch Brad Dourif and Evan Seinfeld who used to sing for hardcore group Biohazard. As for the movie at best it's passable, but it tries way too many tricks of its own on us and gets wholly complicated by the end. But a very decent remake, at least it tried to be different, killer soundtrack too.

Lots of stunning visuals and amazing camera tricks in this remake of Hershell Gordon Lewis' original of the same title. We follow investigative reporter Ed Bigelow (Kip Pardue) who has received a ticket inviting him to a magic show performed by Montag the Magnificent (Crispin Glover). Montag's show consists of him brutally mutilating selected audience members on stage, but just when the crowd is about to leave in fear induced disgust the lights are turned on to reveal no act of violence has actually occured. A day or so later the female participants turn up murdered in exactly the same fashion that they appeared to be slain on stage previously. Is Montag really a diabolically ingenious murderer or is someone out to frame him? Is he really a magician or is he just the trick? The more Ed Bigelow (Pardue) investigates the more his life spirals out of control.

Crispin Glover (Bartleby) and Kip Pardue put in "cracking" performances and get supported well by the talents of Brad Doriff (Trauma) who plays Dr. Chong and '80's horror legend Jeffrey Combs (Re-animator) who is cast as The Geek. The directing by Jeremy Kasten, who's previous venture into the realms of surreal was Horror In The Attic also starring Combs, is very impressive with smart camera angles being employed to enhance the acting and surrounding atmosphere, with low grade special effects being smartly used to create the hallucinatory feel generated by the hypnagogic fuelled storyline. Those who hail the Puffa-fish... beware!

Viewing is highly recommended for fans of Combs and Glover; trippy narratives that challenge the cerebrum; old school horror with modern techniques guaranteed to satisfy any certified gorewhores looking for some cheap titilation. The 5 stars are fully deserved for a budget movie that begs multi-viewing for clarity.

Crispin Hellion Glover can make anything watchable, and he is the only saving grace in a story that doesn't seem to have faith in itself and gets lost at several points. There were clever aspects to the story, but I just didn't care about any of the characters (apart from Montag obviously) I enjoyed all the scenes with Glover as he always acts with such relish, it's a shame the rest wasn't particularly great.
