High on the Hog

There is just so much crap on the screen all the time. It's actually a very boring movie without the random crap every half a second. It makes it seem like the longest movie of all time. Sid Haig gives a great performance with several monologues throughout. It's ultimately a really interesting presentation of an old story. Illegal drug farming alerts the feds. Feds go in and everyone starts shooting. The final scene makes zero sense whatsoever. It's a stupid film for an enjoyably stupid watch.

Great to see Sid in anything, I think people forget about Spider Baby and THX1138 when it comes to his career. Sid looks good in this one, much better than 3 From Hell when his illness had fully taken over. Also great to see Robert Z'Dar and Joe Estevez.

The film is a typical "homage" to grindhouse style film with the use of effects to give it a "drive-in movie" feel - jumping frames and grainy film scenes. Plenty of what we expect from B horror with all the trimmings.

I struggled to get through this one though. I watched for obligatory reasons, fan of the man Sid, fan of horror and its subgenres.

This film is trying so so so hard to be stylistic and "grind core" that any story or plot is entirely obfuscated by the hodgepodge of visuals.

This is OVER directed, OVER stylized, and ruined by that.

I generally like films that break away from the norm and try new things, but they still need to be watchable films. This wasn't even watchable for me. It made me feel as though I was having a stroke, brain seizure, or epileptic fit... and I'm not epileptic.

It's horrific in direction.. no clue what the story actual was.. I made it 20 minutes in before my brain was just screaming at me to stop the torture.

This movies story and plot is right up the alley of what a grudge movies is about. The way it was filmed and done is what makes this movie amazing. Kevin Lockhart did an outstanding job on this film.

The way it was filmed and put together was epic. To also see a lot of great actors come together in one film was also a big factor in it. The producers, directors and writers nailed it! This is the true meaning of a well put together grind house/indie film.
