I’m a big fan of both the Film Junk website and their outstanding podcast, and I am quite happy to announce that one of their contributors, Jay Cheel, has finally posted his short film Colore Non Vedenti online for all to watch. Jay is heavily influenced by John Carpenter and Italian giallo’s, so if you like either you should find plenty to like from this outstanding short horror film. That Jay can turn a simple Jell-O mold into something truly menacing is one heck of a feat.

Be sure to check out the film’s website as well, as it has multiple commentary tracks with some of the various contributors to the film and there are several video diaries as well. This first video diary is particularly great, as Jay and Roman unwittingly stumble upon the Blair Witch while trying to do a lighting test at a remote location. If only I was kidding.

Be sure to check out the film, as you won’t be disappointed.

Normally I would have a long and completely unnecessary introduction before I dive into one of my reviews. I do this for several reasons, as primarily it provides me with an opportunity to write about whatever I choose and then hopefully find a novel way of tying it to the movie I watched and am reviewing. I like to think of it as flexing my creative muscles, but Anna pretty much thinks it is me showing off.

The other reason I write my reviews this way is because I want to use a style that is different then anything else you might have read. My experiences tie heavily into how I view a film, and by providing you the reader with insight into them it is my hope that it present you with a unique opportunity to see just what makes my brain tick. Or maybe not. It isn’t much more then a theory at this point.

But Starcrash is an entirely different animal then most of the other films I have watched for this site. For one, it stars David Hasselhoff, a man who I am powerless to resist. His very presence turns even the worst film or television show into an irresistible elixir. I knew going in to this screening there was no way I could ever hate this film, but what I was not expecting to endure what I could only describe as an utterly transcendent experience.
