Joe Hollow's "Flesh of the Unforgiven" is a bold, gonzo horror delicacy that thrives on its bizarre, unconventional structure. While certain moments feel familiar, Hollow doesn't aim to reinvent the wheel; instead, he makes it uniquely his own, and it works beautifully. At times, it feels as though you're watching the work of a cinematic child born from David Lynch and Tim Burton-August Kyss embodies this perfectly.
Debbie Rochon and Joe Hollow deliver strong performances as a husband and wife at a crossroads in their dysfunctional marriage. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable and, in the world of independent horror, refreshingly rare. With a cinematography and sound that are nicely polished, the plot twists and turns keep you engaged until the very end.
The special effects may appear a bit dated at times, but there's a charm to them that feels like a nostalgic nod to the golden era of horror-a time that many fans still long for.
Overall "Flesh of the Unforgiven" is a fun, memorable ride that might just invite a second viewing.

This is a sweet, simple movie but yet with the strange Tom Dicillo stamp on it.
John Turtturo is great as an uptight engineer on the verge of a mid-life crisis.
Sam Rockwell as "The Kid" brings a great contrast to Turtturo's character and makes for a wonderful chemistry between the two.
Dermot Mulroney and Catherine Keener are great at playing oddball characters. As a matter of fact the movie is loaded with day players with great one liners.
Simply shot -- it works.
The kind of movies à la "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" you'll fall in love with and will able to watch over and over and over. I never get tired of it.

I saw this movie when it came out, it blew me away. I just saw it again recently, some 29 years later...it still holds up pretty good.
The photography of Michael Seresin is just superb, moody, dark, appropriate.
The realism of the sets, costumes and props brings authenticity through out the whole picture.
Trevor Jone's score brings an ethereal feel through out the whole show.
A tour de force by Alan Parker.
Mickey Rourke at his best. Tough and vulnerable at the same time, Mickey balances his character's emotions beautifully.
A Robert De Niro, like you've never seen him before.
Last but not least, the stunning Lisa Bonnet in the role which got here kicked out of "The Cosby Show" -- ironic ain't it?
