Thriller is an excellent exploitation movie mixing pornography, violence and gunfight in a réalistic way. A great movie. The extras are as passionant as the film.Movie Review: Unique
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm an incurable movie buff and just recently quit my part-time job at the local video store (Visart - great store). So, I am surprised that I somehow missed all the buzz about this release. I'm glad I did. Hype always seems to lessen the experience. I suppose that 'Thriller' does deserve the hype it generated. Not only is this one hell of a sordid exploitation film, it also is just a cinematic oddity with an aesthetic all its own. Certain aspects of different genres are sporadically recognizable, but the way these elements are assimilated creates a style that is, if nothing else, unique.
Like many exploitation films, the acting is often wooden and the script is sometimes laughable. There is hardly any story and redundancy and gratuitousness abound. However, from the very beginning of the film, there is a noticable artistic sensibility that is lacking in most films of this genre. Visually, this film is, at times, stunning. I guess the Swedes take their schlock more seriously. The opening sequence is very surreal and the super-slow-motion action sequences are painterly, almost Kubrick-esque were it not for their ridiculousness. But these sequences are ridiculous in the very best way - ridiculous spelled f-u-n.
Yes, there is eye-piercing (I hear a real cadaver was used. Looked real to me) and there is actual penetration (this is just not at all novel in other countries) and enforced prostitution and so on. Did I mention that this was an exploitation picture? There is nothing about Thriller, a Cruel Picture that should offend anyone familiar with the genre.
So, don't expect anything intellectually stimulating. Neither should you count on anything all that abrasive (it's just too hard to take seriously). Rather, watch 'Thriller' if you are in the mood for some violent art-trash. Much of what makes this film great was unintentional. For instance, I don't think there is supposed to be any humor. But so much of this movie is so ludicrous, I found myself laughing quite often. If you keep all this in mind, you shouldn't be disappointed.
