Bank of Hearts by Charles Band Charismatic and extremely dishonest in the hands of Dr. Emilio Lorca, through misconduct, with the help of also an uncouth assistant, steals from a charismatic racial African-American businessman. (In which I was surprised to recognize a mutant taxi driver from the planet Mars, Benny, from the reference sci-fi action movie Remember Everything.)
He, in turn, does not intend to part with a valuable specimen, and in the company of an unshaven private detective, a stupid secretary, a bitchy business lady, go to the grounds of Lorca, for the final clarification of relations and analysis of flights. The curiosity caught in the gutters is not at all simple, being among the honorary panopticum of the freaks of Lorca, the new-born “baby” reanimates this very panopticum, exuding mucus and whispering, churning in murmur in the walls of the castle, the herd of baby freaks begins to reduce the number of guests. The guests, and especially Lorca, did not expect such a turn of events, and therefore, moral freaks in human hypostasis have to join forces in the game of elimination, in confrontation with unknown and extremely deformed forms of life.
Charlie Band at the production of cheap horror category B managed to eat a car of dogs, obviously a car of all kinds, and not all of them were equally useful. This is the only way to explain, just a fetishistic craving of the head of the studio Full Moon to small, puppet monsters, with which he generously populates his movie universe, with avid periodicity give out new batches of funny animals.
Freaks are no exception, a new inclusion, against the background of foul-mouthed navels, and malicious puppets looks fresh. largely thanks to, to some extent commercial, at that time, star Mel Johnson, (still with Schwartz in one picture was shot). And the performer of the role of Lorca is crooked as it should. Band took the grotesque norm in character behavior to the extreme. Although the concept of grotesque is almost synonymous with respect to the studio, there is nothing fundamentally new in freaks, all the same squealing people escape from “little people hiding somewhere in the corners...” But, there is a more developed comedy note, coupled with caricatured Easter eggs, periodically competently inscribed in the plot. Watchfulness can be conditioned by the fact that the creation of Freaks had a hand, and the creators of the legendary subspecies, operator, producer in particular. (Isn't the throne of the notorious Radu adorned in the living room of Lorca?) But the ball was undoubtedly ruled by Charles Band, a man who equally significantly produces both incompetent crafts and quite nothing thrash classics. Hideous!, a film having, with all the extremely cheapness, but magical surroundings, (in the entourage of Full Moon has always succeeded), more pluses in the piggy bank, and therefore worthy of standing in a row with such "business cards" of the studio as the Lord of the Dolls, or Subspecies with Demonic toys.
