Fateful findings full movie5/7/2023 An architect and former real estate agent turned one-man movie studio, he self-finances, writes, directs, stars, and does everything else down to providing the craft services all on his own. I recently learned of a man, a prophet, by the name of Neil Breen. The real cult films have a certain quality that can’t be faked, and are rare gems of bizarre genius. True aficionados can easily tell the difference ,though. This takes a little bit away from the grassroots evolution of the past and there are often imposters that don’t deserve the acclaim (what’s up Sharknado?), but hey, this is the world in which we now live. Every few months there seems to be a new contender to the must-see cult film throne complete with in-depth podcasts, subreddits, and clickbait Buzzfeed lists. In fact, we no longer even have to discover them on our own. There are websites devoted to them (one in particular even has fun drinking games!)

They didn’t have big stars (or if they did, there were made long before the actors could be referred to as big stars), most of them appeared to have been produced pretty to very inexpensively, and they just looked strange. There was just something about them that I was drawn to. That was the first time I ever heard the term “cult movie” and I was as intrigued by those movies as the creepy men who would duck behind the curtain into the “Adults Only” section were of those, uh, films. When I was a teenager back in the old days of VHS rentals, there was a section of my local Tommy K’s Video titled “Cult/Offbeat” that contained all the weird and wonderful films that didn’t fit into any other category. Take a Drink: whenever a line is repeated.ĭo a Shot: When Dylan yells “NO MORE BOOKS!” Take a Drink: every time a character throws something. Take a Drink: whenever someone says “government and corporate secrets.” Take a Drink: whenever there is a shot of Dylan naked in the black room (cube?) Take a Drink: whenever Dylan says that he’s very busy. Take a Drink: every time a woman is not wearing a bra. Take a Drink: every time there is a close-up of feet.
