Terror 2000

Christoph Schlingensief | Germany | 1992 | 79' | | IFFR 1993

A film, made with little money and proportionately more spunk and feeling for trash, which resists the weightiness which characterises German film. A special role has been reserved for Udo Kier, once a major star in horror films, now wrongly an almost forgotten legend. Kier demonstrates in this film that he has lost little of his frightening vitality.In a macabre way, Schlingensief comments on current developments in the political climate in the new Germany. The film is consciously made coarsely and carelessly; the ugly facts cannot be shouted loud enough.
