HOLLYWOOD 90028 (1973) Grindhouse Releasing Blu-ray Review

 


Grindhouse Releasing brings to Blu-ray the long-lost exploitation art film HOLLYWOOD 90028 (1973), about a peep show loop cameraman (Christopher Augustine, drummer for Every Mother's Son of "Come On Down To My Boat" fame), disillusioned with his vocation, looking to break out of the stag scene, and the relationship he forges with one of his sultry subjects. Only hitch is that he has a troubled past and occasionally strangles his dates...

Looking stunning in a pristine transfer, the film leans far more toward the arthouse than the grindhouse (the sole feature from director Christina Hornisher, who worked mostly in the experimental field), and its greatest value might be the abundance of long-gone 1970 Los Angeles locations on display, as I personally found it to be a bit dull (though many hail it as a masterpiece).

Robust extras include cast and crew interviews, still galleries, the alternate TWISTED THROATS edit of the film, easter eggs, a CD soundtrack of composter Basil Poledouris' score, and more.
