Viewing Notes

Please note: I know the producer of this movie.

As we walked in to theater 2 we were handed Pabst Blue Ribbon tall boys by porn stars. Well I guess they were porn stars… That’s what Don told us and i don’t know much about porn stars.

Motorcycle gang, check. Good girl trying to make bad boy good, check. Bad girl gone really bad, check. Then things get really weird. There are many true “huh??” moments in The Violent Kind, but the weirdness of the end I wish was throughout the entire movie.

The heart of this movie is a “B.” Not a “bitch,” not “Blair,” (that is a Gossip Girl joke) but rather an excellent low budget “B-Movie.” This is not an insult and far from an insult most might think. The movie is a story of a guy, Cody, who has just been released from jail who was born into The Crew biker gang. Infused with violence, drugs, women, and as much Pabst Blue Ribbon than you can handle, they venture to the country to attend the birthday party of Cody’s mom. As everyone leaves the party, Michelle, ex-girlfriend of Cody, leaves her goody-two-shoes sister, Megan, behind, leaving her stranded. That is when everything goes sideways and the encounter of the Kind starts taking place.

As the name implies there is an extraterrestrial encounter during this movie. This is the “sideways” part of the movie. Stereotypical cliches take place, machines and people are effected in the typical ways. This may sound trite, but the more I think about it, the more I like this movie. I hope to watch it again to see if it stands up to my expectations, now that I have some in regards to the movie.

My favorite scenes are the opening scenes and the ending scenes when the violence and Pabst Blue Ribbon drinking is over the top. In fear of spoiling the movie I will end here. It is definitely a strange and fantastic movie that is appropriate for Fantastic Fest.
