This week, we look at Blu-Rays of horror classics Lifeforce and Phantasm II , one of Steven Spielberg's most underrated films, Empire of the Sun , the metal and cardboard documentary Skull World , and the bizarre worlds of Stoker and Spring Breakers .
This weekend brings a pair of documentaries about strange forms of notoriety to the Carlton Cinema in Toronto: Slaughter Nick for President and Skull World . Both films are hilarious and inspiring looks at people who love what they do and deeply appreciate the efforts of those around them. One of them just happens to be a down on his luck actor who finds out that a character he played on a crappy TV show has become a folk hero overseas, and the other is a Clutch loving metalhead who uses his creative side to create all out cardboard carnage.
We talk to filmmaker Justin McConnell about following around his buddy Greg Sommer, creator of the battle-tastic Box Wars for his documentary, Skull World , opening in Toronto this weekend.
