Pus$Bucket-
A feature length dark musical comedy about two insane back-woods brothers who do everything for Jesus. They eat, sing, pray and KILL in his honor. "Director Lisa Hammer has certainly come up with something---I'm not sure WHAT exactly it is, but there's a streak of warped genius running throughout it....It's obvious that Lisa must've had a severe Catholic school upbringing, or some similar shock to the nervous system when she was young. And her scathing sense of humor is prevalent in every frame. Lisa incorporates several elegant, hallucinogenic sequences into the tale. And her more evil moments capture a dark, dreamlike realm that fits beautifully within the murderous scenario. A mind-boggling saga!!!" -Shock Cinema 
DVD (NTSC Only): $15.00 (plus tax and shipping) WATCH TRAILER |

"Lisa Hammer, the queen of underground horror, turns to fairy tales in this collection of macabre Grimm takes, revealing a dark world of deranged puppets, evil nurses and talking meat." -Facets Multimedia 
DVD (NTSC Only): $15.00 (plus tax and shipping) "Herein there are no words. There is no color. Everything you see hides behind the dust, scratches, and grain of the ages. Images flicker along to pulsating rhythms. There is nothing natural here. Movement is stilted, slowed, or speeded. Shadows abound and eye make-up is plentiful. This empire of ache originates from the cinema primeval, an extension of early experiments in expressionism. This is film-making capable of evoking a visceral response to the seemingly simple oneiric monochrome images and overtly complex soundtrack. These are sights and sounds that don't belong to the world. ..." -Mike White, Cashiers Du Cinemart |
