Tales From The Crack

About This Movie

Tales From The Crack is an intriguing piece that captures the essence of late 90s erotic comic culture. Directed by the collaborative duo of John Howard and Scott Phillips, it feels like a tribute to the vibrant, sometimes gritty aesthetic of the comic scenes that inspired it. The pacing is notably different from mainstream fare, opting instead for a more laid-back, almost vignette style that allows the characters and scenarios to breathe. Performances are a mixed bag, but there's a charm in their earnestness, and the blend of practical effects gives it a raw authenticity. The atmosphere is undeniably playful yet edgy, reflecting the spirit of the original Buttman comics, which fans will likely appreciate.

Tales From The Crack, released in 2000, has a limited distribution history which contributes to its scarcity today. Many collectors seek it out for its connection to the Buttman Comics franchise and the distinct style it embodies. It’s not widely available in standard formats, so those interested often find themselves hunting for DVD releases or obscure streaming options. The film continues to hold a niche appeal among comic and adult film enthusiasts, making it a noteworthy entry in discussions about the evolution of adult animation adaptation.
