Description
In the 80’s, the USSR… was in shambles. With Western influences seeping in, the nation was in chaos with a great uncertainty of the nation’s future in question, producing a thick dread that hung over the land. It was during this time that his fear manifested into 12 horror films that captured the growing unrest & defied Stalin’s hatred for horror movies; The Fear Before The Fall. With censorship out the window, Soviet filmmakers seized the moment & crafted some monumental horror films, but none more masterfully crafted & terrifying than what many hailed as the USSR’s greatest work of the macabre;
Mister Designer! Released in 1987 but set in a 1920s Tsarist Russia, a time of unfettered greed & autocracy, a tortured artist is in desperate search of inspiration for his next piece. He soon finds it in the most unlikely of places, going on a killing spree that becomes the source for his most popular new sculptures. As his reputation grows, suspicion begins to mount when every muse he meets mysteriously goes missing. Seen as a classier, more technically sound, & far more groundbreaking experimental chilling facelift (no pun intended) of Corman’s campy schlockfest “Bucket Of Blood”, Mister Designer is Soviet masterpiece of the highest order.
