Here at The VHS Fleapit HQ, we love to handpick the trashy goodness we show you each month. But sometimes, the decision has already been made for us by you, the Fleapitters.We’ve received your messages, we see you camping outside our office with signs ‘til all hours of the night - and so this month, due to popular demand, we bring you… THE OILY MANIAC!
In all honesty, we’ve been excited to bring you this slice of mid-70s Hong Kong madness for a while, and we are ready to grease up and dig in!
Sitting somewhere between sci-fi, horror and a fever-dream, this film follows a young disabled man striving with the challenges of a busy modern life, who discovers a secret ritual that turns him into a beastly mass of an oily monster, then empowers him to seek justice in a city rife with crime.
What this film lacks in plot complexity, it makes up for in some truly fun and cheesy special effects, sleazy 70s vibes, and a whole lot of ‘what the hell is going on?’
So join us as we slip and slide into our first foray into Honk Kong cinema with this hidden gem!
Only at Astro’s Arcade Bar on Tuesday 26 August.
Seating opens at 7pm, film kicks off shortly after. Ticket $10 (cash only, 80s style) at the door. See you there.
