Savage Weekend (1980)
We have ourselves a treat for this week’s new B-Movie Enema. Savage Weekend is NOT a well liked movie. In fact, David Paulsen’s made-in-1976, sent-to-Cannes-in-1978, released-by-Cannon-in-1980 exploitation horror is so disliked, I think it would be a good idea to see what some of the reviews have been.
First up is TV Guide: “A truly reprehensible exploitation film… Ultra-low budget and shot on grainy color stock, the film is borderline pornography, and the gore effects are extremely gruesome.” I’m not sure what the problem is here, TV Guide. Borderline pornography, gruesome gore effects? Sounds pretty good to me.
Next is Ed Blank from The Pittsburgh Press: “Incoherent and inept.” Eek. What else you have, Mr. Blank? “Sexist in nature featuring female characters who serve no other purpose other than to appear in various stages of undress and back up against walls and trees so they can be slain or tied up.” Again, what’s the issue here? Hmmm… Let’s try one more.
From Joe Baltake of the Philadelphia Daily News: “[Nicky, the gay character] is the foulest movie character of recent memory, enough to set gay rights activism back several decades… It’s still not clear to me whether Paulsen wanted to make a soft-core porno film, a horror movie, or a combination of both. It’s not clear because he’s failed at all three.”
Okay, that last one was pretty funny.

Kenneyville (2011)
This week’s B-Movie Enema article comes from our neighbors to the north. Kenneyville is an interesting piece of independent media. I am going to label it as a horror movie because I think it deals with some concepts that some indie horror movies of the 70s dealt with. However, I also have to label it as exploitation as well – for the exact same reasons.
Let’s dissect that a bit, shall we?
A couple months back, I covered the infamous depravity known as Bloodsucking Freaks. I explored some of the core concepts that lies under the surface of cruelty and violence toward women in particular, and, to a certain extent, elitist scholars. It’s a movie about a guy who twists brains and drives women to insanity to do his bidding. I posited that the movie featured a more violent side of sexual kink. A desire to dominate and control as well as the attractiveness of twisting a submissive object of desire. Bloodsucking Freaks possesses layers of making you feel icky.

Black Christmas (2019)
Uh… So, how to tiptoe around this… Um… Maybe I should just dive right into the deep end for this week’s B-Movie Enema.
First off, let me say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my lovely Enemaniacs! Next, this week’s movie, 2019’s Black Christmas, garnered a considerable amount of talk last year. I don’t think I can avoid this talk, so I have to touch upon some touchy subjects. I don’t doubt that all the people out there in the world who have come across this blog have a varying degree of points of view on social and political topics. I’d be a real big idiot to think everyone who reads my blog share my exact views. I suspect the same (maybe not the idiot part) should apply in the other way. It usually doesn’t turn out all that well when people who go to a website begin making assumptions of what the author or content creator’s opinions on varying topics are.
That said, I do try very very hard to separate the creator from the content. Unless the content is particularly bad or saying really harmful things, I have to separate that creator from what is produced or I’d drive myself insane. I feel like we live in a world where this is becoming more and more of an increasing issue. So, just keep in mind what I’m going to put into this article may or may not jibe with all your personal views, but I don’t think that should be too much of a problem.
