Face Sitter

About This Movie

Face Sitter, directed by Jim Enright, dives into an odd niche you don't often see tackled in film. It's got this strange, almost voyeuristic tone that draws you into its world—one that's both unsettling and oddly humorous. The pacing is a bit all over the place, which feels intentional, mimicking the chaotic nature of the subject matter. You can’t help but notice the practical effects that add a raw edge to the viewing experience. Performances are a mix of serious and absurd, which somehow works in its favor. What really stands out is the exploration of obsession, blurring the lines between desire and compulsion. It’s certainly not for everyone, but there’s a certain curiosity that lingers long after the credits roll.

Face Sitter has a bit of an elusive history, with its original VHS releases now becoming harder to find. Given its niche subject matter, it hasn't seen extensive re-releases, which adds to its rarity. Collector interest varies, but there's definitely a small dedicated circle that appreciates its oddity. If you stumble upon a copy, it’s worth considering for what it represents in underground cinema.
