Liquid Sky

Summary: Definitely not for every taste
Review: This is one of those rare films that some people will love and others will despise. I'm more along the lines of the latter, although I've seen it twice just to see if it would grow on me. I think I find it more nihilistic than anything else. I was marginallly involved in the early 80's life this movie portrays, which is why I think the nihilism and boredom (and the drug use both engender) makes this movie unpleasant for many people. As for the ending, all I can say is that the "Heaven's Gate" disaster instantly remined me of this movie.

Rating:
Summary: A cult classic truly worthy of a second glance.
Review: This movie delves into the alternative lifestyles of young heroin-enhanced New York arty types and continues on a quirky path when aliens come to prey on them. Cleverly done, and always unpredictable. The accomanying score enhances the clashing humor/horror of this screenplay.

Summary: Liquid Sky, good. DVD, bad.
Review: Without a doubt, one of the best indie films ever made about orgasm-chasing killer aliens. Carlisle hasn't go on to do much else, but, hey, even the one film's a nice legacy.

No, it's ultimately not a film for everyone. Like other cult films of the era (e.g. *Eraserhead*), it can be slow at times, but if you're in the right state of mind, it's perfect. Try turning it into a drinking game...

Sad to say, the DVD version of the film is pretty [awful]. The quality seems iffy at best, and it looks like the producers lost a couple of generations in the shift to digital. There is, however, some nice "backstage" footage. And of course, the costumes and makeup are great.
