L.A. Zombie -- Hardcore Porn or Twisted Art?

Bruce LeBruce continues to push the envelope and recently, seems to be having a bit of a love-in with zombies.  We did an earlier piece on another of his zombie efforts, called "Otto, or Up with Dead People."

The tag-line for L.A. Zombie is:  "F***ing the Dead Back to Life."



Here's one tame screen grab. If you want to see this movie-- you can download it online... or rent it... here: http://www.lazombie.com/

Be forewarned.

And here is my typical snippet review...
...

Graphic penetration (not even sure what was penetrating)
(there was a condom used -- full points there).

I'm working my way through the film, peeking through my fingers. This is not a "porn film" I was told.  I beg to differ............ There are, though, touching, almost sad and poignant moments as our buff zombie protagonist wanders through trashy L.A.  He just wants to fit in, for God sakes.  That teensy weensy tank top just isn't doing the job.

Bruce LeBruce (renowned, controversial Toronto film director/producer)--- I know who you are, and where you were trying to go with this.  I read a review that described it as art. Hmmmm.

Slapping some sappy piano keys over a big bizarre-looking barbed penis f***ing the sh*t out of some poor shlep's intestines didn't get me all warm inside.  Is there a metaphor there somewhere?  And to be fair--  I'm pretty sure I'm not the intended audience.  But maybe I'm being hasty.

Look for an exclusive interview with Bruce LaBruce coming this June!
