Fictional origin story
A fade-in before the film and in the making-of claim that this is the last work of rock musician and director Vin Crease. The director killed producer Benjamin Mankiewicz after filming was over in 1971 and stole the only original print. He was then taken to an institution and died there in 1977. The film only reappeared now, 30 years later. Colleagues and false film critics have their say in the making of.
background
The film pays homage to the exploitation films of the 1970s. Models are Hill of Bloody Eyes and the Blood Court in Texas . To give the film the look of a film shot on 16mm in 1971 , DC Mann uses image noise and grainier footage in the footage shot on digital video . The colors are “bright and kitschy”, the cut “bumpy and rough”, while the camera is shaky in some places.
Reviews
According to some critics, the subsequent editing of the film rarely looks real, so that the film would lose some of its impact. However, other critics praise the loving design. The approach to finally put the story over the splatter effects is beneficial, as it was the other way around with hostel, for example . Due to the way the film was made, it was compared with the similarly stored The Devil's Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses as well as the two Grindhouse films, but without reaching their class.
“Unlike THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, SLAUGHTERHOUSE OF THE RISING SUN does not use its suggestive design elements to serve a meaning, a meaning that cinema itself once helped to liquidate. With Rob Zombie, the retro scenario becomes the effect of art again, because it radically takes sides; Party for the marginalized America of rascals and cannibals, freaks and outlaws, weirdos and dreamers. SLAUGHTERHOUSE OF THE RISING SUN, on the other hand, evokes nothing but phantoms - and in this the film loses itself. "
“A horror comedy designed with a low budget, but with great attention to detail, as a homage to the horror films of the 1970s. Staged with a feeling for atmosphere, the film focuses not so much on the harsh effects, but on the story, which is peppered with allusions to the Manson gang . "
