Trailer - The Onania Club



About a week ago, I discovered that director Tom Six had made a new movie, called The Onania Club. Since I am familiar with some of his former movies, I became very intrigued. So, I went to my good friend YouTube to look for the trailer. And I did find it!


It all looks mysterious and unsettling again! But then we are dealing with the director who made one of the most controversial trilogies in movie history. Dutch writer, director, producer and actor Tom Six started making movies in the Netherlands in 2004. His international breakthrough came 5 years later when he made the first part of The Human Centipede, a trilogy that belongs to the subgenre of body horror. Critics were divided, but the movie quickly gained cult status. The second part came in 2011; Tom Six had to recut it because the movie was deemed to be too violent. The final part was released in 2015.

Little is known about his latest production, The Onania Club. The movie was slated for 2017 and then got delayed for 2 years. The main character Hannah joins a secret club somewhere in Los Angeles, where rich, independent women come together to masturbate. Somehow they can only reach their sexual climax when confronted with the misery of others. And then things seem to get out of hand and Hannah loses everything she cared for. Nice little detail: the tagline of the movie is "Come and see, see and come".

And that is actually all I could find about this movie. I had a look around on the internet, including the IMDB and couldn't even find a release date! So, the mystery deepens and it looks like Tom Six is on his way to create another scandal.

YouTube - Ghost Adventures

I actually have no idea how I discovered Ghost Adventures on YouTube. Probably I looked for videos with ghosts or something paranormal in them and that is how I found them. And I have been a big fan since then ever since... It all started in 2004 with an independent film with the same title, shot like a documentary. In it a team of 3 men, Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin, research 3 places that are supposed to be haunted. And it all looked creepy, fascinating and adventurous at the same time. The three men seemed to know what they were doing and exuded passion. Fast forward to 2008 when Ghost Adventures resurfaced as a series on the Travel Channel. It quickly became one of the most popular paranormal series on American tv. Each program follows the same procedure: arrival at the supposedly haunted location, accounts by eye-witnesses and historical information. This takes about 20 minutes after which the investigation itself starts; the three men are locked up at the loca...

Fresa Y Chocolate (1993)

It's the end of August and slowly but surely, Oscar season is heating up. Right now, a lot of countries are selecting the movie that will represent them for the Oscar of foreign language film. 16 countries - and counting - have done this so far. Flashback to 1993, when Cuba chose its most successful movie ever... In an ice salon, somewhere in Cuba, two men meet. One is David, a student in political science, in favour of the Cuban revolution, who has just been dumped. The other is a flamboyant gay photographer, Diego, who opposes the revolution and is clearly smitten with the student. From the beginning, it is clear that these two men are each others' opposites and not just on a political level. The movie follows the budding of the unlikely close friendship between the two men through a series of conversations. Diego can not help but fall with the gorgeous student and David gradually comes to a better understanding of Diego's political choice. Enter Diego's lovel...

We Summoned A Demon/The Toothbrush/Salvatore

If you are into short horror movies, then YouTube is a paradise! Don't know where to start or feeling overwhelmed? Then let me recommend these three channels: Omeleto Alter Screamfast (by far the best one) These are some of the gems that I found during my explorations of the last month. We Summoned A Demon \ By far my big favourite of the moment! Two young men try to summon a demon in order to look cool for the girls. But when something goes wrong during the ritual, the two men get a lot more than they had bargained for... This is not a typical horror movie; the movie relies less on jump scares, but more on a creepy atmosphere and a healthy dose of humour. It's all in the details: the small record player that is part of the ritual, the way they try to exert their power over the demon by guessing its name and so on. Chris McInroy is the award-winning director of this gem. I am still exploring his channel and when I find anything else interestin...
