Overview

Moustapha Akkad, the man who brought you HALLOWEEN, invites you to keep an APPOINTMENT WITH FEAR. According to legend, Attis, King of the Woods, sacrificed his child to keep his own spirit alive and free to wander the earth at will. APPOINTMENT WITH FEAR casts this evil in contemporary terms: can a group of free-spirited teenagers and an inquisitive detective save a dying woman’s infant from being Attis’ next victim? The suspense is unrelenting as they - and you - keep an APPOINTMENT WITH FEAR.

Viewing Notes

VHSisthetruth and I are going to watch the movies from the 2011 top 10 lists from Bleed Skull over the course of 2012. These are the lists:

So we started with this piece of cinematic ass-fuckery… The movie involves a man who is a Egyptian tree king who must kill his wife and baby in order to maintain his station. Problem is he’s in a mental institution. Fortunately he’s able to exist outside his body.

Or something.

Each scene is more ridiculous and incomprehensible than the one before it. There’s a friendly bum that lives in the bed of a girl’s pickup truck, a stolen baby nobody things to hand over to the police, Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince, a completely random New Wave dance number, and so much more. It’s impossible to describe but very easy to recommend.
