Cult Classix: Body Melt
Rated MA15, 85 minutes.
CULT CLASSIX …a presentation of Umbrella films – Philip Brophy’s hilariously bonkers debut feature makes an oozing, suppurating, bloody mess of Melbourne suburbia. – Everybody needs good neighbours. But if they don’t arrive in time with their warnings about those dietary supplement pills found in your letterbox, you might lose more weight than you bargained for – as the unfortunate residents of Pebbles Court discover. That tardy alarm-raising good Samaritan’s message? “The first phase is hallucinogenic. The second phase is glandular. The third is … arrgghhh!” – “One of the best movies of its type – a cool, sexy, gory, funny horror film.” – Quentin Tarantino, The Movie Show (2003)
