tccchase I watched this movie by accident one day on a local channel.Other than having some cool people in it like Juliette Lewis and Bobcat Goldwaith it's just nasty.I realize it was done in the cheesy eighties when standards were lower and hair bigger but please.Was this the first thing Juliette ever did?I feel bad for her.This movie puts the P in pedophile with a 14-15yr old Juliette getting it on with a fat old cop,& a line like well ma-mm you may want to have her drained.And reamers?We all know what that means.The men are creepy.The boys run into creepy older men everywhere they go.I also realize Juliette was in a lot of weird stuff like Natural Born Killers and that Kalifornia movie where she and Brad Pitt are serial killers.In Natural Born Killers she's part of incest.These are just horrible movies.This one makes me wonder if Disney was involved since they are so pedophiles.The whole movie just made me wretch with a weird dance scene in Juliette's older brother's room.The weird creatures and having to go clean grandpa's bathroom and feed him,gross.Also the fact that the boss basically tries to rape the mother in the kitchen in front of all of them and then they all join in to kill him brutally in front of their young son is not family material.I'm sorry but this movie is awful and ought to be condemned.Boy Juliette and Bobcat must've really needed work.That one kid and the father have always given me the creeps anyway in all they've done.It's the twisted eyes and the way they talk.Anyway, this movie should be rated R and pulled for good.I cannot imagine it made much money.It is just gross in every way.

BA_Harrison Imagine a bizarre fusion of Terry Gilliam's Brazil and TV sitcom I love Lucy. Now add a dash of Cronenbergesque body-shock horror and a soupçon of sixties sci-fi idealism. The result might look something like Meet The Hollowheads, the only directorial effort (to date) from movie make-up maestro Tom Burman. And then again it might not.Set in a strange world where all of life's necessities are supplied (and disposed of) via tubes, where strange creatures are used both as food and household tools, and where clean living wholesome folk are driven to violence, Meet the Hollowheads is definitely a film that needs to be seen to be believed.Henry Hollowhead (John Glover), loving husband and father of three, is United Umbilical's top meter reader. Hoping for a promotion, he brings home his new boss, Mr. Crabneck, to meet his family and stay for dinner. But Mr.Crabneck proves to be a less than perfect house-guest, insulting Henry's youngest son, and leching after both Henry's tasty wife and his jail-bait daughter (played by a very sexy and very young Juliette Lewis). Soon enough the situation turns ugly and the Hollowheads are forced to fight back.Extremely imaginative and downright freaky in places, this movie is certainly not going to be to everyone's taste, but those with a taste for the unusual and absurd should really give this one a try, if only to witness the sight of Juliette Lewis singing and dancing whilst her (real-life) brother plays a 'half-mutant-chicken/half-trombone' musical instrument.And if that isn't enough to tempt you, the film also contains these treats: Ms. Lewis trying on a range of garish but very-body-hugging dresses, Ms Lewis feeding her grandpa green goop though a tube while he gropes her, Near Dark's Joshua Miller playing 'Splatspray' with huge lice, Bobcat Goldthwait (credited as Jack Cheese) talking normally, and Anne 'Throw Momma From The Train' Ramsey (in her final role) requiring subtitles due to her throat cancer.Quite insane and quite possibly brilliant (but don't quote me on that), Meet The Hollowheads is well worth checking out if you love obscure cinematic oddities.

porchfilms This strange little gem combines the biomorphic machinery of Giger with the surreal dadaism of Terry Gilliam and the sugary family life of "Leave it To Beaver". The Hollowheads live in a future world after overpopulation and economic collapse has forced everyone to live in inside giant tubes over vast factories, where pre-processed food is pumped in through pipes, and normal animals and plants have disappeared, replaced by selectively bred genetically-engineered mutants. Biomorphic machines are used as medical equipment, food sources, and even musical instruments. Yet the family lives in a 50's style nuclear family with touches of 80's extravagance (gotta love the bubble dress!). The household machinery and factory equipment is very reminiscent of the industrial scenes in Terry Gilliam's "Brazil". The Hollowhead family have striven to maintain civilization, while the managers of the ruling factory, United Umbilical (with a Staley-eqsue swastika-like logo), ruthlessly manages its employees with animalistic lust. "Meet the Hollowheads" is one of those films you will recognize more and more as its predictions start coming true.

BadWebDiver This is sort of like a lite version of BRAZIL; which takes a standard 60s sit-com plot of a middle-class working father who has to impress his boss with a dinner at the family home; and sets it in some futuristic/alien world.It has quite impressive production values, great set design, and a fairy tight little script.All the child actors especially show a lot of enthusiasm and great personality.Very enjoyable if you like escapist storytelling. It would probably make an enjoyable rainy-day video for the family during holidays.
