Reviews
hairball
I can only say that it's awful. Pretty much it's just cameras being set down, strapped to peoples heads, other things or just dropped in the water. There is basically no dialog or much of anything and no point to this movie that I can find. The camera is constantly spinning or moving to point where found footage movies like Blair Witch appear to be using a steady cam by comparison. **_The only redeeming thing in this crapfest is the audio which is pretty well done._** Use the audio in this as ambiance for your next beach/boat haunted house, otherwise skip it.

Mutzenbacher2022-06-16An audition for men aged between 16 and 99. There are no props nor make-up, just pure improvisation. All that is required is the willingness to engage openly with the topic and language of the words on the page. No small challenge, since the text in question is the scandalous novel published anonymously in 1906 “Josefine Mutzenbacher, or the Life Story of a Viennese Whore, as Told by Herself” which, as this film confirms, continues to be the subject of passionate and controversial discussions about desire, even today. What might be world-class pornographic literature for some is seen by others as an abusive depiction of child sexuality.More...
