Lightninging

About This Movie

Lightninging has this bizarre, off-kilter vibe that really sticks with you. The premise – nice boys getting electric powers from an evil doll – is as wild as it sounds, but it’s the practical effects that stand out. They use some inventive techniques that give it a tactile feel often missing in today’s digital landscapes. Sure, the performances can be a bit uneven, but that adds to its charm. The pacing is a mixed bag; some moments drag while others crackle with energy. You can feel this strange blend of camp and earnestness, making it a unique little gem in the horror-comedy realm.

Lightninging is a bit of an enigma in the collector community, with its unknown director and limited releases making it somewhat scarce. It was released primarily on DVD with few known editions, which has sparked interest among genre enthusiasts. While it may not be widely recognized, its eccentric premise and practical effects appeal to those who appreciate offbeat cinema. Keep an eye out for any upcoming screenings or conventions where it might pop up, as it could be a fun conversation starter among collectors.
