個性閉塞內向的希尼克,從小就立志想當醫生,但卻怎麼樣也考不上醫學院,在第五次落榜之後,他應徵上地方醫院的行政助理工作,主治醫師正好是當初的主考官之一。隨著醫院工作的漸漸上手,希尼克也開始與幾名病人熟稔起來,禁不住一名老人的苦苦哀求,出於同情的他偷偷替老人注射針劑自殺,但事後卻發現,老人根本已經痊癒,一切不過是老人尋求安慰的技倆,掙扎於驚訝、擔心與內疚的心理糾結,再加上對醫生的嫉妒和自卑心結,希尼克反而從此展開他的死亡事業,一個接一個,送大家早登極樂世界…。

影片根據震驚捷克社會的連續殺人事件改編而成,看似內向無害的平凡青年,卻默默的殺人無數,隱藏在殺意的背後,或許其實是整個社會的扭曲變形。導演丹史維塔克在片中運用了大量的廣角魚眼鏡頭,營造出獨特的變形世界,青綠慘白的冷色調設計,也讓整個醫院彷彿鬼域般悽慘陰森,成為異質化的存在空間,在死亡與生存之間來回擺盪,獨特的東歐影像風格,展現出另一種對死亡的恐懼與耽溺。

Hynek Michánek wants to study medicine but fails his entrance exams five times. He starts a job as an orderly in a district hospital where one of the doctors on the examining board works as well. He feels no-one takes him seriously and he loathes the doctors, who treat him with disdain. When an old man begs him to end his pain and suffering by helping him to die, Hynek gives him a "liberating" injection. But now he has done it once, he finds he can't stop. He continues killing other patients, even though he knows he can't get away with it for long.

1822年的澳洲,八個囚犯越獄逃出了酷刑的哈伯監獄,一行人跟著經驗豐富的人一路越過窮山惡水、穿過重重險阻,以為從此就能重獲自由新生,但一望無際的荒野卻彷彿沒有盡頭。隨著食糧補給品的逐漸消耗殆盡,為了生存,八個人之間的關係也越來越緊張,最後,他們終究得承認,這是個人吃人的殘酷世界……。

《人魔流放地》根據澳洲食人魔皮爾斯的真實故事改編而成,除了駭人聽聞的食人傳說,透過罪犯們的逃亡之旅,影片也深入探討了澳洲獨特的殖民文化背景與歷史傳統。即使兩百多年後的今天,澳洲當地仍將此視為當作嚇小孩的恐怖傳奇,對比事件發生所在地充滿自然原始的壯麗美景,人性底層的黑暗可怕,也顯得更幽闇而深不可測。

為了忠實再現當時荒涼無人煙的孤絕疏離感,導演刻意運用大量的絕美如畫大遠景,顯現人物在其中的脆弱渺小,掩映在蒼茫壯闊的草木自然之中,身處絕境的人們如何在求生意志的驅使下,放棄一切道德常規,順從最原始的生存本能,在死亡的巨大陰影面前,所謂的文明終究不過是種奢侈的享受。

In 1822, Alexander Pearce and seven fellow convicts attempt the impossible in a fateful bid for freedom. Breaking away from their guards, they venture into the harsh, unforgiving wilderness of Van Diemen's Land with nothing but hope to guide them. Ex-sailor Greenhill, an Englishman, promises to lead them through the unexplored terrain to the settled districts of a new world. But Pearce, a Gaelic-speaking Irishman, doesn't trust him. As the group forges onward into the impenetrable wilderness, supplies run out and tension rises in the group. Soon they begin to contemplate the unthinkable. In a barren land with no wildlife, they turn on each other in a brutal battle of survival where Pearce is forced to make a decision that spirals him into his own vision of hell. Men who need each other's death in order to survive. But there can be only one survivor .

犯罪與殺意究竟從何而來?人性底層究竟是光明的迴光?還是黑暗的泥沼?

1978年的波蘭,四十歲的農工希羅準備前往一所國營農場報到,途中借宿一處偏僻農家,之後卻被發現農家一家三口慘死。事隔多年,當年滅門血案的嫌疑犯希羅被捕,於是在政府軍警的押解下,重回案發現場,企圖模擬重現當時的真相,然而隨著案情的偵辦調查,才發現希羅可能才是真正的受害者…。

《黑暗之家》改編自波蘭家喻戶曉的犯罪事件,導演斯瑪佐斯基以平實低迴的細膩影像,頹廢、陰暗的淒苦色調,在還原當年屠殺慘案背後真相的同時,也帶領觀眾一步步走入那個貧窮集權的悲哀年代。片中幾場對於弱勢農民生存處境的描述,不帶任何道德批判,忠實再現了那個時代的人性真實,卑微低劣、現實自私,當所有人都可以為了利益出賣一切,整個世界也沒所謂黑與白、只有深淺不一的灰。

The story takes place in two parallel time planes. The first plot follows the events of one autumn night in 1978. Edward Srodon, a zootechnician, makes an accidental stopover in a farmhouse of Dziabas family in the remote area of Bieszczady Mountains. He stays for the night. The initial distrust between the guest and his hosts is quickly dispelled with moonshine and turns into a camaraderie, intimacy and even friendship. A plan of making a joint business arises, as well as passion and lust, which lead to a surprising and tragic consequences... Second plot is set on a winter day, during the Martial Law in Poland. An investigating team of Milicja Obywatelska (People's Militia) is visiting the crime scene. Lieutenant Mroz is trying to solve the multiple murder case from four years ago. The tool he has to his disposal is the reconstruction of events with help of the chief suspect, Srodon.

尚恩和新婚妻子來到巴黎度蜜月,原本應該甜蜜的日夜纏綿,但尚恩卻不願與嬌妻親熱,原來他因為之前至熱帶雨林考察時,染上了奇怪的病毒,發作時會像發情動物般對異性產生強烈吸引力,一旦高潮就會瘋狂地撕咬,直至全身沾滿鮮血的人才能平靜。為了治療自己,尚恩找到了同樣患病的卡拉,但事情卻已經一發不可收拾…。

《軍中禁戀》、《白鬼子》導演克萊兒丹妮絲揭示愛情噬血本質的經典之作,《巴黎野玫瑰》女主角碧翠絲黛兒又一次驚世駭俗的激狂演出,在無盡的吸吮、舔舐、撫摸、喘息、廝磨之中,這一場情慾的食人祭典,也挖掘出愛情最底層的佔有欲望,愛你愛到吃光你,吸乾抹盡,一滴不剩。

「這是我孩提時代的記憶,夢一般的記憶;倒稱不上是個夢魘。我母親將我擁住塞進她懷中,不停的親我、吻我、親我、吻我,彷彿要把我吞噬。 她說,我的皮膚散發一股牛奶的香味。她說,在一次次的擁吻中感覺自己再度變成食人魔。我緊閉雙眼;她的愛讓我癱瘓,動彈不得,只等待她的啃食。」-導演克萊兒丹妮絲

Shane and June Brown are an American couple honeymooning in Paris in an effort to nurture their new life together, a life complicated by Shane's mysterious and frequent visits to a medical clinic where cutting edge studies of the human libido are undertaken. When Shane seeks out a self-exiled expert in the field, he happens upon the doctor's wife, another victim of the same malady. She has become so dangerous and emotionally paralyzed by the condition that her husband imprisons her by day in their home. It is Shane's chance encounter with this woman that triggers an event so cataclysmic and shocking it might just lead him to rediscover the tranquility he seeks to restore for himself and his new bride.

After released, Trouble Every Day developed a small following that admire it for its themes of existentialism and its unique take on the horror genre as well as gender roles. It was given an in depth analysis by Salon.com which looked at the intricacies of the film, particularly the metaphorical nature of the narrative. At Film Freak Central, Walter Chaw calls it. Plaintive and sad, Claire Denis' Trouble Every Day is a rare combination of honesty, beauty, and maybe even genius.

《殭屍廣播放送時》的拍攝靈感來自奧森威爾斯的經典廣播劇《火星人入侵》,將現代人對科技、電子的過度依賴,轉化為充滿殘暴血腥的黑色幽默。故事敘述位於加拿大偏僻小鎮的電台,作風大膽的主持人一向語不驚人死不休,但卻都只能播報一些無聊的鄰居小事,直到這天,忽然大量湧入奇異的暴力事件,整個世界似乎都陷入瘋狂殺戮之中,但這時困守電台的主持人和工作人員才發現,邪惡病毒傳播的根源,可能就在電台之中…。

影片以獨特的懸疑驚悚手法,在層次分明、逐步堆疊累加的情節推衍中,展現出人性面對恐懼的扭曲和變化,以至心靈徹底崩潰的過程。精彩的聲音元素處理,也讓本片如同恐怖版《廣播放送時》,巧妙結合廣播媒體的聲音特性以及殭屍、傳染病的黑色幽默,創造出另一個以聲軌為主線的影像敘事,不僅進一步強化現代社會的疏離特質,也帶出對媒體╱科技╱再現╱真實之間的多元辯證。

Shock jock Grant Mazzy has, once again, been kicked-off the Big City airwaves and now the only job he can get is the early morning show at CLSY Radio in the small town of Pontypool which broadcasts from the basement of the small town's only church. What begins as another boring day of school bus cancellations, due to yet another massive snow storm, quickly turns deadly. Bizarre reports start piling in of people developing strange speech patterns and evoking horrendous acts of violence. But there's nothing coming in on the news wires. So... is this really happening?

Pontypool is based on Tony Burgess' novel Pontypool Changes Everything. Burgess adapted the material for the screen himself. According to McDonald, the writer hashed out a script in 48 hours. Orson Welles' infamous radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds inspired the approach that they decided to take.

韓國新銳導演李尚宇自導自演,充滿爭議性的逆倫之作。暴力、亂倫、強姦、犧牲,比金基德更大膽挑釁的姿態,扭曲怪異的人倫關係、徹底的變態提出最尖銳的社會批判。39歲的相宇由作妓女的母親一手養大,現在由他擔任馬伕,幫已經年老色衰、不良於行的母親拉客,客人都是些殘障、變態或老人,但母親不介意,只要能養活相宇,她就覺得很快樂。禽獸不如的父親早已另組家庭,妻子是瘋狂的宗教狂,同父異母的弟弟和妹妹一個整天宅在家,另一個則只想跟他做愛。這天,相宇又去替母親拉客,三個身穿軍服看似正常的青年,卻極盡暴力凌虐他們,血肉糢糊的傷眼中,最不堪的生命終將發出困獸的最後反擊…。

「我們所有人的生活,都在跟艱苦現實作戰。在這個艱苦的世界,生命艱難。我媽媽在我小時候就一直生病,但即使有病,她仍然為了我犧牲了一切。透過這部片,我希望告訴她我有多麼愛她。影片的主要概念是兒子把媽媽變成娼妓,但他其實知道生命中重要的是什麼,並決心照顧媽媽。我身兼導演、演員,詮釋劇中主角,也希望變成像那個馬伕一樣的兒子。

馬伕也是人。人都是上帝創造的軟弱生物,在複雜的環境裡,他們無法決定該何去何從?該怎麼生活?我也是軟弱的生物,活在生命的圈套裡,轉不出去。」--導演李尚宇

比《牛頭》更激烈狂亂的暴力凌虐,比《屠夫警察》更慘不忍睹的血腥肢解,日本鬼才導演園子溫的新作《死魚》再次以奇情偏峰的超激路數,探討日本現代社會的壓抑與瘋狂。

影片根據1993年震驚日本的琦玉愛犬家連續殺人事件改編而成。經營水族館生意的社本,雖然與再婚的妻子感情日漸冷淡,青春期的女兒又叛逆難管,但他還是努力扮演著好丈夫、好爸爸的角色。某日,女兒偷竊被捕,幸好獲同樣經營水族館生意的村田說情解圍,村田像是從天而降的救星一般,成為他們全家的好友,然而,社本卻也漸漸陷入村田的陰謀陷阱,詐欺、殺人、強暴、毀屍滅跡,捲入難以自拔的罪惡蛛網中。

全片以冷調低抑的寫實影像,一步步帶領觀眾走入現實背後的變態與異化,潛藏在規律平凡的生活背後,壓抑著無限的恐懼與荒蕪,每個人都是受害者,每個受害者卻也都可能是施暴者,所有人性的黑暗與瘋狂,都可能在下一秒引爆,血肉橫飛屍骨無存。本片入選2010年威尼斯影展地平線單元、多倫多影展,備受國際好評,超限的血腥暴力場面和爭議性的題材,也引發各界爭議,堪稱挑戰觀影尺度的極限之作。

Shamoto has been beaten into submission by the mundane demands of everyday life. He's in an awkward relationship with his beautiful but shy second wife, who still hasn't been accepted by his rebellious teenaged daughter, Mitsuko. Shamoto's one remaining joy is running a small tropical fish store.

When Mitsuko is caught shoplifting, the friendly Murata helps her distraught parents by settling things with the store's manager. Murata. Shamoto is drawn into business with the outgoing Murata, unaware that behind his friendly demeanor lurks a dangerous sociopath. Taken in by Murata's easygoing charm, Shamoto realizes the man's true nature too late and becomes implicated in the madman's bloody crimes.

1968年,導演喬治羅密歐推出了第一個版本的《活死人之夜》以來,就以獨特的恐怖美學和社會觀察,提出對越戰後、六零年代末期的美國社會現象的諷刺與批判,被譽為具歷史、文化意義和美學重要性的經典。數十年後,動畫版《活死人之夜:復活》,以集體創作的模式,邀集了全球多位知名動畫家、藝術家及電影工作者,重新以現代的觀點和視覺表現手法,從電腦動畫、手繪插畫、偶動畫到真人擬像,不但讓這部恐怖經典動畫再度重獲新生,透過多元豐富的影像拼貼,也注入了更新的當代思索。

Night of the Living Dead: REANIMATED features the work of various artists, animators, and filmmakers from around the globe. The mixed media featured include puppetry, CGI, hand-drawn animation, illustration, acrylics, claymation, and even 'animated' tattoos, just to name a few. This mass-collaboration approach is less about remaking Romero's film and more about viewing the classic through an experimental lens. Instead of trying to alter Image Ten's work, NOTLD:R seeks to showcase the responses that artists from around the world have had to this landmark film.

影片開始於一場突然的車禍意外,唯一的倖存者瑪麗奇蹟似的生還,但卻忘了所有的事情。康復之後,來到鹽湖城的小鎮教堂擔任風琴樂師,除了鄰居男子的追求糾纏,生活似乎逐漸恢復正常,但此時,瑪麗卻開始不斷地看見一名面容慘白的鬼魅男子,接連出現的怪事,也逼得她幾近崩潰…。

被視為美國經典恐怖Cult電影的《靈魂狂歡節》,自1962年首映以來,一直是眾多影迷必看的朝聖之作,甚至影響了後來《活死人之夜》、《鬼店》等片。全片以表現主義式的鬼魅氛圍、自我記憶探索的心理驚悚、以及現代主義式的幾何構圖,宛如《卡里加利博士的小屋》+《去年在馬倫巴》的次文化Cult版,在幽微奇異的影像張力中,展開一場靈魂的奇詭狂歡。片中大量運用深富宗教意味的教堂風琴配樂,與情節安排上牧師、鄰居、小鎮輿論等保守社會氣氛,形成環境壓抑的象徵,與女主角對信仰的懷疑,以及多次深陷幻覺與鬼魅對面等精彩畫面,及至片尾反轉存在意義的體認,形成了另一重有趣的存在主義解讀。

「黑暗中,幻想如同脫韁野馬,自由奔馳;天亮後,一切又將恢復正常。」--瑪麗/《靈魂狂歡節》

義大利情色導演的早期經典《該死的甜蜜》,宛如暴力情色版《春光乍現》,安迪沃荷+安東尼奧尼的前衛新寫實影像,穿梭遊走在城市的角落,攝影棚的白幕前後曲線畢露的胴體剪影,普普風的圓點床單上激烈的翻雲覆雨,將犯罪與死亡轉化成禁果般甜美的誘惑,欲望就像蛋殼般光澤誘人又危險脆弱,稍一觸壓就可能破碎,流淌出難以想像的真相,越是甜蜜,越是該死的可怕…。快速流暢的影像節奏、大膽跳接的敘事手法,也展現出《斷了氣》之後的自由影像風格。

當年清甜可人的依娃艾林,在片中大膽裸露演出多場激情戲,卻依舊展現天真無邪的自然甜美,堪稱真正萌系美少女始祖,看似無辜無瑕卻又暗藏心機的精湛演技,也以本片奠定個人影壇地位,成為六、七○年代最受歡迎的歐洲影星之一。

導演尤杜洛斯基生於1929年的智利,年輕時曾遠赴巴黎與馬歇馬叟(Marcel Marceau)學習默劇。六○年代開始從事文學及劇場創作,活躍於巴黎及墨西哥的前衛劇場,七零年代自編自導自演所完成的《鼬鼠》, 以及後來的《聖山》,也奠定其影史地位。「毀滅」與「重生」是《鼬鼠》片中的不斷重複的主題,在影片前半部的毀滅之後,緊接而來的是重生的開始,影片大量隱藏的象徵與符號,每每重看都能有不同的發現,如同尤杜洛斯基所說,拍任何一部影片,他必須要改變他自己,要先殺了自己,以獲得重生。

A bearded stranger, clad in black leather, rides his horse on a sandy plain. His naked son sits behind him. The father says "Now you are a man. You are seven years old. Bury your favorite toy and your mother's picture." The burial consists of propping these symbols up in the sand. The father and son come to a town, a scene of carnage, a town of corpses and entrails; animals, children - everyone has been butchered and the waters flow red with blood. The bearded man in black leather becomes a gunfighter out of the old west. An avenger, he tracks down the murderous bandits and proceeds to castrate their warlord. With the words, "Destroy me. Depend on no one," he leaves his song with a group of monks that he has liberated and takes up with the warlord's mistress...

《聖山》是尤杜洛斯基在完成《鼬鼠》之後,更具影像企圖心的作品。不同於《鼬鼠》西部牛仔的復仇故事,《聖山》展開的另一趟探索永生秘密之旅。影片改編自西班牙神秘神學聖師十字若望(St. John of the Cross)的《攀登加爾默羅》(The Ascent of Mt. Carmel),以及Rene Daumal未完成的寓言小說,一個貌似耶穌的男子甦醒過來,臉上爬滿蟲子,接著他跟著救他的侏儒來到古怪詭異的市集,與一群身穿禮服的青蛙、被釘在十字架上的動物屍體一起遊行,逐步攀登聖山,以獲得啟蒙與永生的秘密之道。詭譎荒誕的人物、奇魅超現實的影像風格,宛如費里尼與布紐爾影像的變種融合,不僅揭示了更複雜難解的宗教思索,也更深刻探索了宗教/神秘主義、電影幻象/現實心靈之間的曖昧邊界。

在完成《聖山》後,製片Allen Klien要求導演趁勝追擊,拍攝《O孃的故事》,他卻執意要拍《沙丘魔堡》,兩人於是反目成仇,製片甚至毀掉《鼬鼠》與《聖山》的所有拷貝以示報復,經過多年的訴訟,兩個白髮蒼蒼的老人終於握手言歡,也讓影片得以重新與影迷見面。

Awakening from a comatose sleep and covered in insects, a bearded thief is almost crucified by children but he is then rescued by an amputee dwarf. After he and the dwarf share a joint, they travel through different scene after scene of surreal images. They wander into a town populated by freaks, fascists, hookers, and religious fanatics, where skinned, crucified livestock are paraded down the street. Costumed frogs and iguanas bloodily reenact the Spanish conquest of South America, Innocent people are massacred, and birds fly out of their bullet wounds as soldiers of this Mexican police state rape peasant women for the benefit of tourists who photograph these horrific tableaux. The thief gets drunk with Roman soldiers who proceed to use his body as a mold to create hundreds of kitschy Christ statues. He returns to the street and, with the aid of a fistful of balloons, he rises to the top of tower where he encounters "The Master," an alchemist (Jodorowsky). The alchemist demonstrates his transformational prowess by turning the thief's excrement into crystals and gold.

恐怖片究竟反映了什麼樣的社會真實或潛在恐懼?1968到1978年間的低成本B級恐怖電影,可說是從心理底層、更誠實地反映了當時美國社會的黑暗面。《美國夜驚魂》以1970年代美國獨立恐怖電影的黃金時期為背景,深入訪談多位重要導演,如何打破了傳統恐怖電影的遊戲規則,以更駭人的恐怖美學,呈現類型與社會氛圍的微妙連結。

如今已成為美國恐怖片大師的喬治羅密歐,在六○年代末推出了恐怖經典《活死人之夜》,不但成為近代殭屍系列的始祖,片中破天荒啟用黑人擔任男主角,呈現對社會階級的探討,之後黑人民運領袖金恩博士被刺殺,也讓電影中的恐怖活生生延續到現實中。《驚聲尖叫》、《殺人不分左右》導演魏斯克瑞文的早期電影中,殘忍血腥的殺人畫面,和越戰處決犯人的慘狀並無二致。大衛柯能堡的恐怖電影,《顫抖》(Shiver),以異常的性行為描述,反映了七○年代的性解放。賣座最高的恐怖片《月光光心慌慌》,則反映了家庭的瓦解。早熟的性愛,經常是被殺人魔處罰的對象。托比霍柏的經典之作《德州殺人電鋸》,把現實中的殘酷,放大成難以忍受的血腥恐怖。潛藏在所有粗暴、殘殺、凌虐的視覺暴力背後,或許正是人們在現實生活中無法說出的恐怖記憶與集體恐懼,只有透過影像的宣洩獲得抒發。

Horror films have often been more than simple scares. At their best, they reflect society's anxiety and concerns. In this film, major horror film makers such as George Romero, John Carpenter (on Halloween), Wes Craven (Last House on the Left), Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and David Cronenberg (Shivers) discuss the creation of their films in the 1960s and '70s and how they related to contemporary events while interviewed intellectuals give their own opinions. Tis documentary also introduces provocative ideas about where horror comes from, in describing the out-of-kilter experience of watching these affronts to good taste, and suggesting why they thrill as well as scare us.

《B級電影史》以知名影評人羅森鮑姆(Jonathan Rosenbaum)和霍伯曼(J. Hoberman)的同名電影研究書籍為基礎,導演史都華山姆士完整收錄了七○年代後期午夜院線強檔影片的片段,包含《鼬鼠》、《活死人之夜》、《哭泣寶貝》、《洛基恐怖秀》及《橡皮頭》等作品,從另一種壞品味美學的角度,重新省視B級電影所呈現的文化特色與社會意涵。

《活死人之夜》中僵屍的恐怖噁心,其實別有其政治內蘊偏鋒,智利導演尤杜洛斯基的《鼬鼠》,則是將布紐爾和塞吉里昂尼的魔幻風格綜合發揮,牙買加電影《不速之客》讓雷鬼音樂滲入美國,而到《橡皮頭》瀰漫的詭異、駭人和藝術性,更成為經典。其中,看似胡鬧的《洛基恐怖秀》中的文化意涵,直到數十年後的今天,曼哈頓14街一家戲院仍然在大銀幕上每個週末午夜放映這部電影,上下同樂的觀影過程更成為一種儀式,比起惡搞樂趣,隱含更深刻的文化命題。知名壞品味導演約翰沃特斯(John Waters)在片中也現身說法,講述影迷們如何耽溺於這些影片的搞怪邪惡趣味,也點出所謂B級背後的複雜本質。

Midnight Movies: from the Margin to the Mainstream is a feature documentary that tells the hidden history of these classic Midnight Movies of the 1970's-- The Mole, Night of the Living Dead, The Harder they Come, Pink Flamingos, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Eraserhead.

Between 1970 and 1977 these six low budget films, shown at midnight, transformed the way we make and watch movies, films that re-invented the medium while pushing the boundaries of “bad taste”and“social taboos ”, Attending“midnight movies” became a social identifier, a badge of one's intellect, a mark of a person's cinematic sensibilities and cultural allegiance, a rite of passage for a whole youth generation in crisis.

The documentary tells the hidden history of these “classics” ,-- through original interviews with the directors and creators of the films; with first hand accounts from the theater owners who programmed them, and especially from the audiences of disaffected youth culture, seen through archive footage, who got their weekly dose of filmic nihilism inside these darkened moviehouses.

Today, their ironic sense of humor, their flaunting of bad taste, their celebration of the grotesque and the bizarre, their championing of sexual diversity, have all become firmly established in mainstream American popular culture.

平日作風大膽的刁蠻女明星,因為搭便車而被看似斯文英俊的男子強暴,堅持提出告訴,反而遭到輿論攻擊奚落,痛不欲生。負責報導的女記者婉清,獨排眾議、不顧一切的追查幕後真相,卻反而在深夜遭到四名酒醉工人輪暴,不僅身心受創,也因此與未婚夫解除婚約。從此對社會公義與人性徹底絕望的她,於是佈下天羅地網,以更殘忍恐怖的虐殺反擊,展開瘋狂的復仇行動…。

以《上海社會檔案》一片爆紅的陸小芬,在《瘋狂女煞星》化身恐怖復仇女神,展現了更驚人大膽的演出。女導演楊家雲在片中巧妙運用多種暴力元素,筆長尖銳的武士刀鋒、水泥工地的外露直挺鋼筋、破碎的戳刺玻璃、罕見的長柄獵槍等等,充滿陽具象徵意義,在極盡性別剝削之餘,卻全部成為陸小芬手中復仇的殺人利器,極富視覺快感的反轉意味。相較之下,多年後昆丁塔倫堤諾和烏瑪舒曼的《追殺比爾》,甚至反而略顯工整而保守。

1979到1983年的台灣,在那個政治仍然戒嚴緊繃、民主意識卻已躍躍欲試的年代裏,有一批「台灣黑電影」,以社會寫實之名,大膽地描寫犯罪、肉慾與復仇,瞬間攻佔全台戲院,席捲驚人的票房,引起黑白兩道的側目。這些黑電影像是一場夢境還是傳染病,在混沌未明的時期內密集地出現,又在新的時代來臨前迅速地消失。幾十年過去了,這些堪稱台灣電影裏最暴烈血腥的影片,在電影史長久輕視與鄙視下,漸漸被遺忘。今天還記得黑電影的人裏,有人說,那是商業邏輯的簡單操作,用過即棄,沒什麼好深究的,也有人說,那是台灣電影工業衰敗的起點,是「台灣新電影」黎明之前最深最深的黑暗。

《台灣黑電影》的片名靈感來自「台灣新電影」,用「黑電影」代表七○年代末期風靡全台的社會寫實片,對比新電影的純潔光明形象。片中訪問了許多參與社會寫實片風潮的重要導演、明星及影評人,細膩爬梳當時台灣電影工業的資金狀況、生產情形,電檢尺度、海外市場的商業操作,社會寫實電影與緊接其後出現的新電影浪潮之間的矛盾關聯。影片並重新搜羅並分析目前僅存可見的黑電影,將這些驚人的畫面與七○年代末、八○年代初的政治社會事件相對照,發現兩者之間有著奇異的相似,原來在現實社會裏被壓抑的情緒,不能說的話語,皆化為一幕幕聲嘶力竭的影像,從黑電影的底片中顯影出來…。

Prevailing in the early 80's in Taiwan, a genre called “social realistic movies” dominated the box office. Saturated with crime, sex and violence, they are cult movies of a repressive age. As the early 80's was a time when Taiwan underwent economic transformation and the transfer of political powers, the morbid and shocking images in these films seemed to have spoken for the society's collective fear of uncertainties in a tumultuous period.
