Title: In The Mood For Some Gore?
Review: I was lucky enough to be able to attend a screening of My Pure Joy a few months ago. I'm not a huge gore fanatic---I can take the Romero & Argento films alright, even Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. This film however, is an absolutely trippy experience, in a great way, though. I literally could not take my eyes off it. There ended up being some mayhem in the theatre, but I just kept staring at the screen. The gore is there alright---lots of it, outrageous scenes you could not imagine---but there's also a story, fleshed (no pun intended) out characters, and humor. A really great film if gores your thing---great writing, direction & acting.I predict you'll hear, and see, a lot more from director James Bressack, in the future. Definitely has a macabre & wild focus and vision. And by the way, this was his 1st feature! Solid entry in the gore genre.
