Palmer Rockey’s star has risen! Here are some early reactions from the world premiere of Grindhouse Releasing’s new restoration of SCARLET WARNING 666 at the historic Texas Theatre in Dallas:
“A frankly stunning-looking restoration of the most deranged, terrible, compellingly weird movie I’ve ever seen. Thrilled to know art like this was made in Dallas, immediately bought the blu ray because I need to be able to experience that again.”
“Makes Tommy Wiseau look like Fellini“
“IT’S PURE PSYCHOSIS ON FILM. This guy makes Tom Cruise’s beef against psychiatrists seem tame. Must be seen to believe.”
“WTF DID I JUST WATCH?“
“A movie for those who always wondered what Ben from BLUE VELVET got up to in his spare time. The work of a genuinely unwell mind, possibly the ultimate Dallas-shot trashterpiece. Soundtrack unironically slaps.”
“SUBLIME TRASH.“
“You tell ’em Rockey! Love IS deep inside. Kinda like if Neil Breen made A LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN. The psychosis oozes off the screen at every moment.”
“I don’t think Palmer Rockey has ever seen a movie…I don’t know if Rockey knows what music is outside of a theoretical concept of it…ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING“
“The product of a demented, disjointed psyche…This is TRULY one for the sickos. A masochist’s delight.”
“I have no idea what the f*ck I just watched, it’s incomprehensible, but I think Rockey deserves credit for making an entertaining film, and not just because it’s completely and absurdly ass. There’s a lot of meta commentary that makes me believe he knew what he was doing. It’s not just the fugishi ball!! And you know good for him, also good for you if you have the exquisite taste to enjoy this. For real, there’s something so uplifting about no budget regional cinema. It’s the passion and the no-fucks-given attitude…This was considered a lost film for a long time, so I do recommend fans of regional and independent cinema pick up a copy of this from Grindhouse Releasing.“
Big thanks to the Texas Theatre for hosting Palmer Rockey’s return to Dallas!
