Creeping once more into the darkest corners of the cinematic imaginary, Experiments In Terror 2 unearths a body of ghoulish works to satisfy our most perverse celluloid cravings. Body-parts of cinema past – silents, grindhouse, giallos, Hitchcock, and Karloff – are exhumed, disemboweled, then stitched back together into macabre new creations of frightful power and monstrous beauty through fiendishly clever montage and sinister sound design. Using crazed camerawork, mesmerizing mise-en-scene, and the alchemy of experimental technique, a new generation of cine-spooks apply aesthetic shocks to the rotten corpse of genre convention, re-animating it into a very contemporary order of horror film – graphic, ironic, poetic…undead!
"Deliciously dead-on recreations of 60s psychedelic-nightmare cinema and 70s drive-in horror…plus animated skeletons doin' it every which way, experimental remixes of classic genre footage, vintage trailer trash, and more…" – Dennis Harvey
