| Notes | Mondo Macabro is a serious DVD outfit that is bringing out obscure film fare from the exploitation corners of the world. This Indonesian production is psychotronic paydirt, the stuff cult movie magazines eat up. Its appeal is in its backstory, as the film itself is a garish and crude ripoff of James Cameron's The Terminator, skewed to the needs and tastes of the Indonesian home market. Thanks to the core research extras on this disc, what might be negligible trash is elevated to the stuff of scholarly papers - as a cross-cultural hybrid, this one takes the cake. |
