Apart from The Exorcist, Requiem For a Dream, and Marmaduke, there are very few films that genuinely disturb us. We first saw Head Case back in February of last year. We revisited it the other day and it still messes with our heads.
For one thing, as we said in our original review, this does not feel like a proper film. It feels like a home movie. From the dialogue to the acting to the camera-work, everything about Head Case feels about a million times more real than The Hills.
And while the gore can be plentiful and icky, the most horrific scene shows absolutely nothing but if you are "enjoying" the film up to this point, the sequence will absolutely chill you. Make no mistake, though. You will either love this film or hate it. There is no middle ground, and that is a good thing.
We've become big fans of Mr. Spadaccini, and not just because he put a quote from our original review on the DVD cover. Every film of his that we have seen is unique, beautiful in it's own twisted way, and even if you don't like them, you will never forget them.
And that is a good thing.
