New Sex Machine review is up at Creature-Corner. If you’re not familiar with the site, it’s a branch of the ever-popular chud.com which focuses on horror and genre films. This is one of my favorite reviews of the movie yet. Here’s an excerpt.
Sex Machine is a mishmash of a film, and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s not really horror, it’s not really action, it’s not really comedy. But it takes elements of all of these things. It was made on the cheap (8,000 bucks!) and while it certainly doesn’t look like it had a huge budget, it looks like it had a helluva lot more than it did. The soundtrack also helps, being one of the greatest I’ve listened to in a long time- of any film. It had me bopping my head, working perfectly for the style of movie it is- and it even made me wish for a cd soundtrack. Just great stuff. The effects are also remarkably well done for the budget, and it does have its share of gross-out moments, which are always fun.
The other big plus for the movie is the plot- it’s just a really compelling story. The Frankenstein thing hasn’t really been decently remixed for a modern audience yet, and setting it admist all this craziness and different styles of film makes for a entertaining time.
