Finnegan's Chin

About This Movie

Finnegan's Chin is a curious piece from the early '80s that really stands out. It has this almost surreal vibe, blending dark humor with a twisted narrative that keeps you guessing. The pacing is intentionally disjointed, which might throw some off, but it adds to the overall atmosphere of the film—there's this sense of unpredictability that I find appealing. The practical effects are quite unique for its time, giving it a raw and gritty feel that modern CGI just can't replicate. The performances are a bit uneven, but that adds a certain charm; it feels like everyone is just leaning into the bizarre nature of the story. There's definitely something special about its approach to storytelling, even if it doesn’t fit neatly into any genre box.

Finnegan's Chin has had a bit of a rough journey in terms of distribution. It’s not the most widely available title, which only adds to its allure among collectors. There are some early VHS copies floating around, but finding a good condition print is getting trickier. Collectors appreciate its oddity and the rawness of its production, making it a noteworthy item for anyone interested in obscure cinema.
