Tailenders

About This Movie

Tailenders, a lesser-known entry from 1985, dives into the chaotic world of teenage exploration and boundary-pushing humor. The film’s tone is a blend of raucous comedy and adolescent awkwardness, with a pacing that leans heavily on shock value rather than narrative depth. Distinctive for its raw portrayal of sexual awakening, it features performances that range from enthusiastic to over-the-top, encapsulating the era's aesthetic of boundary-pushing adult themes. The practical effects are minimal but effective in their own offbeat way, adding to the film's quirky charm. It’s certainly not for everyone but has a certain cult appeal for those interested in the genre's more outrageous side.

Tailenders is a bit of a rarity, not widely released but surprisingly, it has developed a niche following among collectors interested in 80s cult films. It’s not easy to find on physical media, with a few VHS tapes floating around but very few DVD or Blu-ray releases, which only adds to its allure. If you're into the more outrageous corners of comedic cinema, this title might pique your interest.
