About This Movie

So, 'Hot Nasties' is one of those bizarre gems from the 70s horror scene. It dives into this darkly comedic territory where a mortician finds himself smitten with a corpse... yeah, you heard that right. The atmosphere is infused with a strange blend of macabre and absurdity, punctuated by some inventive practical effects that really capture that grimy aesthetic of the time. The pacing has a sort of dreamlike quality, weaving through scenes that range from eerie to outright surreal. And, while the performances might not win any Oscars, they definitely have that raw, unrefined charm that seems to encapsulate the era’s independent filmmaking vibe. It’s distinctive for its strange love story and the way it intertwines with witchcraft—definitely a curious piece to ponder over.

'Hot Nasties' has had a bit of a mixed bag in terms of availability over the years, often popping up in obscure VHS swaps or limited DVD releases. It’s not the easiest title to find, so collectors tend to keep an eye out for it when hunting for oddities. The film captures the strange essence of its era, making it a notable conversation starter among enthusiasts of underground horror cinema. Its appeal lies in its oddball premise and the kind of unpolished charm that draws in those who appreciate the quirks of 70s indie films.
