Payne in the Ass

About This Movie

So, 'Payne in the Ass' is a curious slice of 90s indie cinema. It's all about Thom Payne, or Tom Katt as he’s sometimes known, and the whole film is basically his show. Imagine a young muscle guy narrating his own life while being present in every single scene. The pacing is kind of unusual, almost like a long, drawn-out monologue with visual flair. The atmosphere feels raw and unfiltered, and while the practical effects aren’t the main focus, they add a certain grit to the experience. It’s a niche film for sure, and the way it leans into the cult of personality around its lead makes it stand out in an odd sort of way.

This film has had limited format releases, primarily on VHS, which makes it somewhat elusive for collectors. There's not a ton of information out there, so it tends to fly under the radar, but those in the know appreciate its distinctiveness. Interest seems to revolve around Thom Payne's dedicated fanbase, which adds a layer of intrigue for collectors chasing obscure gems from the 90s indie scene.
