10.30 movies

Mutiny (Abigail Child, 1983) - theatrical

Pretty annoying.








Mayhem (Abigail Child, 1987) - theatrical

Child said it was her attempt to make a feminist noir.  Decidedly a step up from the above but it's also a subject that appeals more to me.









To and No Fro (Abigail Child, 2005) - theatrical

Forgettable reworking of a Mexican Buñuel.









Mirror World (Abigail Child, 2006) - theatrical

Fun stuff.










ELSA merdelamerdelamer (Abigail Child, 2013) - theatrical

A subversion or something of this time Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp filmed an eponymous baroness shaving her pubic hair.  It's only three minutes long and I don't remember much but I liked it.




Halloween (John Carpenter, 1978)

Same audiovisual setup as The Omen, but my friend actually got it to synch up pretty nicely.  The movie's definitely fun, but seems to wear its lack of ambition on its sleeve.  The notion of this unstoppable force of evil is a cool idea, but it doesn't really do too much with it.  Could've used some of Texas Chainsaw's humor I think.  It's also a trip to me that Carpenter directed this.
