Heart Attack! The Early Pulse Pounding Cinema of Kelly Hughes is a fascinating dive into the chaotic world of VHS-era horror. Hughes, inspired by the underground vibe of the '90s, crafts a raw, almost frenetic anthology experience that leans heavily into camp. With his love for John Waters’ aesthetic, you get this gritty, sleazy vibe that's both unsettling and oddly charming. The pacing is erratic – a mix of suspense and dark humor that keeps you guessing. The practical effects, while not polished, have a certain DIY appeal that feels so authentic. The performances are a wild ride, often over-the-top but fitting within this bizarre universe. It's not just a documentary; it's a nostalgic trip through a world that relishes in its own absurdity.
