Fingered

About This Movie

Fingered is this raw, gritty dive into the underbelly of crime and horror, crafted with Richard Kern's signature audacity. It dances between a sense of bleak humor and unsettling realism, all while featuring those stark, haunting visuals that Kern is known for. The film's pacing is deliberately jarring, reflecting the chaotic lives of its characters, which really pulls you in and keeps you on edge. You can feel the tension in every scene, and the practical effects, while not overly polished, add to that raw, authentic feel. It’s certainly not for everyone, but there's something about its unapologetic nature that makes it stand out in the landscape of ‘80s underground cinema.

Fingered has seen limited releases, mainly existing in niche markets, which adds to its appeal among collectors. The initial VHS and later DVD releases are relatively scarce, and those in good condition fetch decent prices. Given its polarizing content and Kern's unique style, it tends to attract a specific audience, making it a conversation starter in any serious collection focused on underground or alternative cinema.
