@Darius--that ...Thanks for the comments, everyone!<br /><br />@Darius--that screen is actually from the *end* of the movie, believe it or not! The opening title is just the blocky computer font, sans images. I don't know why they chose that...perhaps there were going for the sparse, minimalistic look? Some kind of dogme action? And perhaps you are right about the nonjudgemental Dutch--live and let live, and die, I guess?<br /><br />@Jenn--This is definitely a deep cut from the vaults, to be sure! The meta-Paul even extends to the end credits, when they make the claim (in those computer-font letters, of course), that the film is "BASED ON THE TRUE STORY OF PAUL NASCHY"! At least the filmmakers were fans, I guess? PS--if you're very good, I might find a way to stuff this in your stocking...IYKWIM. ;)<br /><br />@The Duke--if anyone on the planet would find the peculiar joy in this one that I did, it would be you, my friend! I'll send it over via Dwarf Henchman Express (tm) right away!<br /><br />@J Luis Rivera--Thanks! It was nice to finally get back to long-form reviewing. Glad you enjoyed!<br /><br />@Samuel--Well put! Also, I have added a link to the YouTube vid--thanks for finding it. While that clip does give one a fair approximation of the madness contained in the movie, I was saddened to find that it did NOT include the incredible closing song. I may have to see if my tech crew can manage to pull the audio...it must be heard to be believed!The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-27414117781951414362011-11-30T17:48:30.192-06:002011-11-30T17:48:30.192-06:00The last eight minutes can be seen, as I've ju...The last eight minutes can be seen, as I've just seen them, on YouTube. They are mesmerizing. You could run this in a museum and someone'll write a thesis on it like it was a work of art, "outsider" or otherwise. There's a level of bad where you don't know what'll go wrong next, and that sort of wild mystery keeps me watching the crappiest stuff. But WTF's with those little white clouds forming over Naschy's head? Thought balloons? Empty, of course, but it's probably better that way. Anyway, thanks for discovering this one for us, Vicar. We owe you the red-handed salute.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-2972561783213193362011-11-30T13:20:36.474-06:002011-11-30T13:20:36.474-06:00holy crap man, I need to see this.

It's amazing what you couldn't do with computers back then, eh?<br /><br />Maybe no bystanders interfered because the Dutch are such a liberal and accepting people?
