The Introduction

So let me say welcome to the Shock and Cult Movie Blog. I will go more into what this blog is about but first let me give you a little introduction.

I am a HUGE film fan. If I wasn’t then what would be the point in writing a movie blog..right? Now with that being said though my movie taste is kind of all over the place. I am a huge fan of all different styles and kinds of film. Let me show you my top 10 favorite movies to give you a little idea.

(In no particular order)

Citizen Kane

The Kevin Smith Jersey Films (more then one but could be one huge film if watched back to back)

Star Wars Saga (yes I even like the prequel movies)

Fight Club

Reservoir Dogs

Moulin Rouge

The Abyss

Pulp Fiction

Caligula

Blazing Saddles

Now as you can see my taste is all over the place. But there are a couple of films in there that kind of give a clue on why this blog has been made.

Caligula

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080491/

This movie is one of the biggest train wrecks in movie history and I love it. If there is a movie that is a complete disaster it is this one.  But there has never been a film like it ever. Caligula one of the most shocking films you will ever see. It has everything. Gore..check. Bad acting…check. Presumably drunk British actors..check. Hardcore sex scenes..check. Incest..check. This movie will either make you clap or vomit.

Also if you look on the list there are movies by director either influenced by cult films or make films considered to be cult movies ( Quentin Tarentino and Kevin Smith).

So I decided to write a blog telling about and reviewing movies that are either cult classics, soon to be cult classics, shocking movies, and movies that no one would ever want to admit they have seen because it is to disturbing and sick.

Now some of the movies blogged about here may not be great movies but they will be different. If it boring I will say it. If it is great I will say it. If it is a movie that you shouldn’t watch when your in-laws are visiting I will say it.

The genres covered here will go from everything from 70’s grindhouse flicks to Asian film to New Wave French to exploitation flicks and back to current cult films.

The biggest thing is i want to give a voice to movies that some have never seen and movies that some may have never wanted to see.

The one thing I can say is watching these movies will always be ride. What kinda of ride is the question. So if you are willing to just take a ride no matter where it takes you because you are tired of the same old thing then stick around….because this thing is about to roll.
