We love trailer compilations of vintage grindhouse sleaze (think 42nd Street Forever) here at Skin Central, so we're all fired up and ready to enlist in the Trailer War, a new feature-length compendium of the bizarre, the outrageous and the totally tasteless from the archives of Austin, TX's own American Genre Film Archive.
The AGFA is producing Trailer War in partnership with Drafthouse Films, who earlier this year brought us The FP (2012) and Klown (2010). And in case you're still unclear about what kind of mind-melting, spine-shattering, blood-boiling experience you're in for, we quote from the official press release:
"From the high flying, explosive metal mayhem of STUNT ROCK to THUNDER COPS’ disembodied flying head chaos, each 3 minute masterpiece is like a beckoning portal to another, more exciting dimension. It’s a crippling overdose of towering flames, mechanized destruction, lurking fear, poor sexual choices and spiritual devastation on an apocalyptic scale.You might want to have a cornea donor standing by just in casebecause THIS IS GOING TO BURN!"
Following a theatrical tour in early December, Trailer War hits DVD and Blu-ray on December 18; the DVD/Blu-ray comes complete with an interview with filmmaker Joe Dante, a former trailer artiste for sleaze master Roger Corman whose Trailers from Hell site we've covered on this very blog.
But will there be skin, you ask? How about you check out the censored, but still NSFW trailer and tell us, smart guy?
