The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat
The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat
Likely in June 1897, a group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

At a recent party many of the cast were reunited for the first time since making the movie, older and wiser you may think, but still as dangerous as ever. It is unfortunate that when the true carnage takes place and the blood flows the cameras weren't rolling. Someone asked me if there were any plans to remake Bad Karma fifteen years on with the same cast using the same locations, this suggestion so incensed director Alice Chandon that he threw himself headfirst on to a table of glasses, causing a severe gash to his head. After an impromptu photo session to capture the bloody carnage he had created in the small kitchen, Ben Bethel accompanied the gashed and bloodied infant terrible to the hospital where he was given six stitches. So I think that's a yes then.

This has to be one of the best home made horror films I have seen. It has a miniscule budget, no acting talent whatsoever but has some really unique and unusual ideas. It appears to be the film-makers friends and family who take part in the film and have a good laugh along the way.The plot revolves around some Hari Krishna aliens who arrive at the door of a party and subsequently morph (in the tackiest way possible) into hideous ghouls. We also meet a gang of redneck alien killers who only increase the amount of spilled blood and guts immensely.What made this film work for me was the enthusiasm that everyone appeared to have and the results that were achieved on such a miniscule budget. The FX are incredibly tacky and plasticy but can be quite ingenious given the limitations the folk involved must have had.You really have to see this film to appreciate it as it has to be seen to be believed.
