Twisted Issues

I ordered this video out of the back of the third issue of Slaughterhouse Magazine. Back in 1989, I think. Came with a soundtrack cassette and booklet that I apparently lost. Overpriced at 15 bucks. I found it today while pilfering through old porn and comic books in my attic. I just had to get online and see if Charles Pinion had made anything else like it or even if he was still making movies at all. I'm kind of disappointed to find out that he's still doing underground stuff, but definitely intend to checking out all he's got.

Anyway, I have no idea if this movie is available anywhere, but it's worth checking out. Horror/Comedy back before everyone with a videocamera started taking themselves too seriously.

As far as plot goes -- don't watch it for the plot. It's better described as being late 80s skater punk variety.

I've seen previously other Charles Pinion movies, so the rough style did not surprise. In fact, everything in this oozes the DIY punk attitude. There's no actual score, but you get to hear heaps of lesser-known mid-late 1980s Florida based punk/alternative/metal acts. Hellwitch was the only familiar to me prior watching.

How about the plot then? Who cares if it was vomited on video, put together with potato glue and stitched with horsehair if it rocks? Art is not done by a request of salesmen, it is done because the artist has an urge to create something.

Twisted Issues is very energetic and uplifting movie. The dialogue could have been perhaps better, but all in all it delivers in the same way Jon Moritsugu's movies do.
