Sister Tempest is a bit like a feature-length music video. It is imaginative, bizarre, frenetic, and completely bonkers. It’s Avant-garde, nonsensical, and hallucinatory; an assault on the senses. And just when you think it couldn’t possibly get any weirder, it does just that. The film has elements of horror, sci-fi, comedy, and many other genres melded together in one zany package.
Synopsis:
Sister Tempest follows Anne as she grapples with the unexplained disappearance of her sister. While she struggles to keep balance in her life, Anne seeks solace in a newly-minted friendship with a troubled student at the art school where she is an instructor. As Anne works through her grief, she is asked to explain her actions to an authoritative counsel of alien beings, all while having her life documented by a film crew.
Nic Cage’s performance in
The Wicker Man (2006) is campy, unhinged, over-the-top, and completely out of place. He is impossible to take seriously in his turn as a sheriff looking into the disappearance of a young woman. The redux is completely unnecessary and has been panned by critics and fans alike. But it certainly achieves so bad it’s good status. Cage’s frantic performance and inability to know when he’s overacting make this title worth revisiting. I find this particular title to be a great selection for a ‘bad movie night’ with like-minded friends.
Bloody Birthday
