At the end of a cul de sac sits two homes; one a picture of middle class normalcy the other a dilapidated, empty Victorian affair that Gomez Addams would dig. Well, that diabolical dwelling doesn’t stay empty for long as Vic and Ramona (Dan Aykroyd and Cathy Moriarty respectively) move in and immediately begin intruding on the lives of their neighbors the hen-pecked, milquetoast Earl and put-upon Enid Keese (John Belushi and Kathryn Walker)…with Ramona turning on the seduction and Vic fleecing Earl. Of course shit gets waaaay out of hand (and right quick too)…and soon blackmail, questionable Italian dinners, Nazi connotations, and outrageous rivalries are the order of the day…and that’s not even to mention the swamp full of chemical waste and quicksand, or the ultra-strange (and close) electrical tower that seems to electrocute animals as it sees fit. Neighbors is one hell of an underrated surreal gem…seriously, why this flick mentioned in the same breath as The Burbs

Man ol’ Henry (David Call) came back from a tour of duty with two things; the knowledge of a field surgeon and a ragin’ case of PTSD. So what does he do with all of that swirlin’ around in his noxious noggin? Why he stitches together rando body parts and creates a walking cadaver named Adam (Alex Breaux) in his Brooklyn loft…as one would naturally do. Henry then spends his days giving his creation a well rounded education in everything from science, to music, and beyond. Soon Adam must deal not only with the stormy nature of his father and the machinations of his rival Polidori (Joshua Leonard). Obviously Depraved is legendary horror maestro Larry Fessenden’s take on the tried and true terror tale of Frankenstein, and what a take on the material it is! Rather than going the normal over-blown full on horror route, the film takes it’s time exploring the dynamic between the creator and his creation which
