SUMMARY:Stuck at Chazen Museum Of Art
DESCRIPTION:Bloodied and stuck halfway through a car windshield\, Thomas (Stephen Rea) glares at Brandi (Mena Suvari) in the driver’s seat. \nExcerpt from Ian Adcock’s feature on UW Cinematheque’s October Sunday series at the Chazen Museum Of Art: Driving home drunk and high\, nursing assistant Brandi Boski (Mena Suvari) hits a homeless man\, Thomas Bardo (Stephen Rea). Instead of reporting the accident\, Brandi goes home and parks the car in her garage\, with Thomas stuck halfway through her windshield. The rest of the film is a slow-motion battle of the wits\, as Thomas tries to escape while the increasingly desperate Brandi tries to cover up the crime. \nAlong with Stuart Gordon’s other late-period films King of the Ants (2003) and Edmond (2005)\, Stuck (2007) depicts ordinary people’s capacity for evil. While all these are not exactly horror films\, at times they manage to be more disturbing than Gordon’s genre work due to their real-life settings and grimy\, low-budget feel. Gordon once stated in an interview with Filmmaker Magazine that\, “as you get older you start realizing that real life is scarier than anything you can dream up\, that the things that people actually do to each other are far more bizarre and horrifying than anything that Lovecraft could dream of.” Though Stuck is openly indebted to Misery (1990)\, Gordon portrays Brandi not as a monster\, but as a sympathetic\, albeit self-centered character who is capable of doing monstrous things. Featuring impressive performances from both Suvari and Lea\, Stuck is a potent swan song from a master of suspense.

SUMMARY:The Pit And The Pendulum at Chazen Museum Of Art
DESCRIPTION:Maria (Rona De Ricci) pleads to the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada (Lance Henriksen). \nFrom Ian Adcock’s feature on UW Cinematheque’s October Sunday series at the Chazen Museum Of Art: \nThe loosely Edgar Allan Poe-adapted The Pit And The Pendulum (1991) graphically depicts the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition. \n\n\n\nAccused of practicing witchcraft by the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada (Lance Henriksen)\, innocent Maria (Rona De Ricci) and her husband Antonio (Jonathan Fuller) are imprisoned and tortured. Torquemada grows increasingly infatuated with his beautiful captive\, and Maria has to learn magic from kindly witch Esmerelda (Frances Bay\, a David Lynch/Adam Sandler regular) in order to survive. Written by Gordon’s lifelong friend and collaborator Dennis Paoli (who visited the Wisconsin Film Festival this year)\, The Pit And The Pendulum manages to be a well-researched depiction of the Inquisition while also brimming with Gordon’s signature gallows humor. Gordon uses the hypocrisy and fanaticism of the Inquisition as a commentary on the rise of the religious right during the Reagan and Bush years as well as his eternal struggles with the MPAA ratings board. \n\n\n\nThe Pit And The Pendulum was a return to horror for Gordon\, who had spent the previous couple years developing Honey\, I Shrunk The Kids (1989) for Disney before stress-induced health issues led him to drop out as director. The film also reunited Gordon with producer and horror mogul Charles Band\, whose Empire Pictures had produced Gordon’s first four films. While Band is best known for churning out cheap straight-to-VHS junk like Puppet Master (1989)\, he always gave Gordon artistic freedom. The Pit And The Pendulum’s period ambience benefits from being filmed in an actual 15th-century castle owned by Band\, an ingenious cost-cutting method that Gordon would use again for the truly terrifying Castle Freak (1995).

SUMMARY:Dagon at Chazen Museum Of Art
DESCRIPTION:Uxía (Macarena Gómez)\, dressed in a gold ceremonial outfit\, brandishes a gold dagger shaped like a spine. \nFrom Ian Adcock’s feature on UW Cinematheque’s October Sunday series at the Chazen Museum Of Art:  \nCombining two short stories by H.P. Lovecraft\, Dagon (2001) is an atmospheric\, fast-paced piece of gothic horror. After a boating accident off the coast of Spain\, wealthy tech geek Paul Marsh (Ezra Godden) and his girlfriend Bárbara (Raquel Meroño) find themselves stranded in a gloomy\, remote fishing village. They quickly discover the town is populated by half-human fish-people who worship the ancient pagan god Dagon and make masks out of outsiders’ skin. Racing through the rain-soaked streets\, Paul tries to rescue Barbara from being sacrificed to Dagon while fending off murderous villagers and the advances of tentacled temptress Uxía (Macarena Gómez). \nThough slightly marred by the lead actors’ woodenness and some very dated CGI effects\, Dagon is one of Gordon’s most unsettling works. The Spanish coast is a surprisingly good substitute for Lovecraft’s gloomy New England setting\, making Dagon feel more faithful to the writer’s vision than Gordon’s other adaptations. By using all handheld cameras and purposely not subtitling the Spanish cast’s dialogue\, Gordon immerses the viewer into Paul’s panicked point of view\, making the plot’s many twists and turns all the more surprising. As Gordon’s final horror film\, Dagon is an underappreciated entry in his filmography.

SUMMARY:From Beyond at Chazen Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:From Ian Adcock’s feature on UW Cinematheque’s Stuart Gordon series at the Chazen Museum Of Art (which concludes with this screening): \nStuart Gordon’s kinky\, outrageous experiment in body horror\, From Beyond (1986)\, is a fan favorite due to its over-the-top aesthetic. Dr. Edward Pretorius (Ted Sorel) and his assistant Crawford Tillinghast (Jeffrey Combs) have finally perfected the Resonator\, a device that gives humans access to the fifth dimension by stimulating the pineal gland. Unfortunately\, the fifth dimension is full of nightmarish creatures\, and the experiment ends with Pretorius getting his head bitten off and Tillinghast going mad. \nTillinghast is rescued from a mental institution by psychologist Dr. Katherine McMichaels (Barbara Crampton)\, who wants him to recreate the experiments to find out what happened. Along with police escort Bubba Brownlee (Ken Foree of Dawn Of The Dead)\, he returns to the laboratory. When they switch the Resonator back on\, Dr. Pretorius’ head returns from the fifth dimension with a new terrifying body. Transformed into a classically Lovecraftian monster\, Pretorius’ sadistic urges have become a desire for power and human flesh. \nThe excessive pineal stimulation begins to affect our “heroes” as well; Dr. McMichaels becomes drawn to both the Resonator and Pretorius’ bondage gear\, while Crawford sprouts a pineal antenna in his forehead and develops an insatiable hunger for brains. After a bloody escape from the mental institution\, Tillinghast and McMichaels try to overcome their urges to destroy the Resonator before Pretorius becomes all-powerful. \nFilmed quickly reusing the set of Dolls (1986)\, From Beyond is clearly an attempt to one-up Gordon’s breakout debut Re-Animator (1985)\, using another Lovecraft short story as its basis\, and bringing back both Crampton and Combs as the stars. Gordon also had the most difficulty getting the film passed by the MPAA ratings board. Presumably\, it was payback for everything Gordon got away with in his unrated debut. Packed full of gruesome special effects and copious amounts of slime\, it’s one of Gordon’s most popular and enduring films.
