Little Dovetails

About This Movie

So, 'Little Dovetails' is this intriguing little nugget from '87 that’s hard to pin down. It’s got this peculiar vibe, mixing the absurdity of tabloid journalism with a slice of early societal critique. The pacing feels a bit erratic, almost mirroring the chaotic life of its protagonist, Worm Jenkins. The performances, while not stellar, have a rawness that oddly fits the film’s off-kilter charm. You can’t ignore the practical effects, which add a unique texture to its surreal narrative. It’s the kind of film that leaves you pondering the human condition in a bizarre and darkly comedic way, kinda like a fever dream that you can’t really shake off.

Finding copies of 'Little Dovetails' can be a challenge since it didn’t have a wide release, making it somewhat obscure. It’s been released on VHS, but good luck locating one in decent condition. Collectors appreciate its distinct tone and the offbeat narrative, and over the years, interest has been building as more people stumble onto its odd charm. The rarity and the film’s oddball nature might make it a quirky conversation piece among collectors.
