Girl with a Straight Razor

The most overtly nihilistic of the Alexander films I have seen on Tubi so far. Im told I saw the producers cut and not the original director cut which is only on the Blu-Ray but I can't imagine they're that much different. Imagine a mix up of Dressed to Kill, Neon Demon and The original Rabid on a low budget and you get the mood of this extremely strange and dark movie. And funnily enough, two of the actual library cues from Cronenberg's 1977 Rabid are on the soundtrack. This is typically stylish and female driven Alexander dream horror but this one also breaks into stretches of verite style bleakness that gives Ali achappell (from many other Alexander movies) lots of places to really emote. Extremely gory and really, really weird. I think this has moments of Alexander's best work and is wall to wall style with some unforgettable imagery. But I still prefer Scream of the Blind Dead which also has Thea Munster in it playing another sort of angel of death but is a more fully realized movie. Still, this is Real filmmaking here just maybe too depressing for its own good.
