There is the true evil of men against confident ladies who don’t mess around. Matthew Bright’s vision of dark life in modern America through the eyes of 2 downtrodden girls ready to fight the world and the worst of the worst. The ‘Neo-exploitation classic’ as Vinegar Syndrome put it & it’s disjointed and really bizarre sequel. One Little Red Riding Hood Story and One Hansel And Gretel Story. Vanessa (Reese) and Crystal (Natasha) deserve your respect. We talk about some extremely triggering and dangerous stuff so be warned. NSFW and very explicit and of course Spoilers abound.

One of this week’s films are connected to Dennis Hopper in some way and connected to each other. They are Night Tide from 1961 also starring Linda Lawson & Luana Anders as well as the 2013 film Under The Skin directed by Jonathan Glazer and starring Scarlett Johansson.
