lifesoboring Garbage----but since i am a fan of trash cinema it was still worth watching
trashgang This here is a pure example of a sleazefest. There's nudity and blood in it in the most gratuitous way. It isn't for everybody but people who love exploitation, roughies or grindhouse flicks this is a must see.The story is very simple, Janie (Mary Jane Carpenter) is out to random killing and she's telling her story to her dad with whom she's making love with. Yes, incest. She has a kick on killing because after each kill she masturbate. But all killings she has to undress in some way or let friends undress for her. It's just until the end that you know how far she actually went. Why is it pure sleaze, the script, the sound made of one track full of acid rock that can irritate some. Further you have bad sound, you can hear the camera, a lot of hiss on sound and sometimes they are too far away from the microphone. There's no use of extra lighting which shows inside buildings. And of course all the nudity that has nothing to do with the story. Made as a roughie it has in fact nothing to show from underneath, no genitals at all let even say bushes (well, just one second).But for the geeks there's a reason to hunt this flick if you can find it. So far as I know it's OOP and a rare object. Not only that, Michael Findlay do act here. He was the director of the well known Snuff (1976) but became most notorious with his death. Findlay was killed (1977 aged 38) in a helicopter accident on the roof of the (then) Pan Am Building in New York city. On his way to John F Kennedy airport to connect with a Paris-bound flight, Findlay was planning to demonstrate his new 3-D camera to potential backers in France. But there's also Roberta Findlay in it, Michael's wife. Both were in front and behind the camera in Janie. Mary Jane only appeared in 3 flicks all made in 1970. A pure sleazefest...they don't make 'em like that anymore. The hair, the short skirts, the no-bra women, the white boots, those were the days.Gore 1/5 Nudity 2,5/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
lazarillo This movie starts with a sexy but rather elderly-looking "schoolgirl" (Mary Anne Carpenter) rolling around in bed with a man who is old enough to be her father because you see. . .oh, never mind. She then starts telling her much older lover about her "day", which began when she and her equally mature-looking friend decided to "play hooky" (for some reason dressed in their school uniforms). They get picked up while hitchhiking by a middle-age lech in a station wagon and she convinces her friend to have sex with the guy. Why, I don't know, nor do I know why she suddenly decides to commit some sudden automotive coitus interruptus by running over them both with the station wagon. Anyway, this begins a bizarre, but not particularly graphic (certainly due more to the limited budget than good taste) flashback killing spree.Obviously, this movie is kind of a cross between "Mantis in Lace" and "Toys Are Not for Children", but it is not really as good as either. Naturally, both Michael and Roberta Findlay (sleaze cinema's First Couple) are involved both in front of and behind the camera. Mary Anne Carpenter is quite sexy, even if she doesn't exactly light the screen up with her acting. Each murder is punctuated by her character masturbating for about five minutes, somehow without her either removing or her hand ever going beneath her early 70's grannie panties. That's pretty typical of this whole movie which, in concept, is unbelievably sleazy, but is actually rather tame.
fertilecelluloid Although credited to Jack Bravman (a pseudonym), this is a crazy Michael Findlay film about a psychotic teenage tramp (Mary Jane Carpenter) who murders a bunch of people on her way across the country to have sex with her dad, a gross man in his fifties. The murders are numerous, but they're totally inept. The acid rock score is relentless and irritating after a while, although one doesn't tire of ogling the slutty looking Carpenter's bountiful body. The girl murders "stupid" people because the voice in her head tells her to and her sole purpose in life is to be with daddy. We see Carpenter's breasts and some butt shots, but there is no hardcore footage and very little in the way of sex. Edited in the psychedelic style of the period and experimental in form, it is an interesting document, but it's still too long at just on an hour.
