Rating: - And the soul becomes flesh, and Walter Paesley is born.
"The Death Artist" is an excellent 1995 film that is fueled by psychological horror. Anthony Michael Hall stars as Walter Paesley, a bus boy earning minimum wage at a thriving cafe called the Jabberjaw, where independent poets, painters and actors mingle with art collectors, gallery owners and other such savvy members of the social elite. While desperately clutching his dream of becoming a legitimate sculptor, Walter is tormented by the position he is in; timid and lacking in self-confidence, he ... Read More
Rating: - Just an all around funny movie!
This film was hilarious! I know a handful of artists and some of them really do act like that! I laughed from beginning to end! Anthony Michael Hall gave a fantastic performance as Walter. The one way trip to insanity was well played by my favorite actor. You can't help but feel sorry for poor Walter. This film is dark, but delightful!! "I made them immortal.."
Rating: - Bizarre cast in sleeper cult film
Oddly enough, Anthony Michael Hall gives his best performance ever...Actually, at some points, you feel sad for him...The cast is VERY eclectic, including Justine Bateman (who's funny as the Eurotrash artist!), Shadoe Stevens, Mink Stole, Paul Bartel, yada yada...but it's not that bad...And it does make fun of the "art world" really well...Great fun.
Rating: - Surprisingly Hillarious!
When this video arrived at my house, I took one look at the cover and thought, "OH JEEZE!" It looked terrible. Thankfully, you can't judge a video by its cover. My girlfriend and I were pleasantly surprised! If you're like us and appreciate dark humor, you'll love this film. In addition, as an art educator--with a good sense of humor--I especially enjoyed the way it pokes fun at the "art world." If you have ever worked in or around the arts, or are a patron of the arts you can't deny that there ... Read More
Rating: - Update of Corman Classic Has Few Moments
This remake of "A Bucket of Blood," put in a modern 90s setting this time, is stylish and colorful but lacks the pacing and black humor that made the original such a classic. The casting is okay but the direction given to Anthony Michael Hall as Walter Paisley and Justine Bateman as love interest Carla leaves alot to be desired. What made Dick Miller's performance in the original work was the quirky charm and naivete he carried even as he descended into murder. Hall's Walter comes off as a dumb, ... Read More
