Ecstasy so great, that all Heaven and Hell become but one SHANGRI ~ LA!
Holy Crap! A lot has been written on these pages about films being real oddballs but this film here really takes the cake!
A couple of groups of complete strangers are forced to take refuge in an old dark house in the middle of nowhere during a massive thunderstorm.
The house in question belongs to a mature aged alcoholic/nut-job/widow Gert Hammond (Marion Eaton of Babyface fame). The first stranger to
arrive on the scene is Sarah (Virginia Giritalan) who forces the absolutely blotto Gert to take a bath and proceeds to rub her to orgasm! After this 2
other car loads of strangers turn up to get out of the storm. Old Gert gives them some clothes to change into tells them to go to the bedroom
down the end of the hall. Seems ol' Gert is a bit of a voyeur as the walls from the kitchen have eye holes that go straight into the bedroom. Whilst
watching everybody get changed Gert decides to fuck herself with a cucumber!
But that isn’t half as bad as what’s going on in the bedroom itself! The first bloke to get changed, Chandler, decides to suck himself off with a
vacuum cleaner, whilst the second fellow, Toydy, decides to make use of the conveniently placed blow up doll on the bed, all the while sticking a
dildo in his date! If this sounds perverted and fucked up, you haven’t heard anything yet keep reading…
It also seems that outside the house a heap of circus animals have gotten loose. This is where yet another stranger Bing (George Kuchar, a New
York native with over 200 short film director credits to his name!) steps in. Seeing as Bing works for the very same carnival that all the animals
escaped from, and of all the animals roaming around the house the only dangerous one is a gorilla named Medusa. According to Bing "that gorilla is
a sex crazed maniac!", and we learn the relationship between the pair in a flash back that show Medusa pulling Bing's cock!
The only way to stop Medusa from raping everyone is to feed her a heap of bananas, which a third man, Bond, happens to have stashed behind
the couch. But he isn't going to let any old person have the bananas and coaxes Toydy into fucking him in the arse to use the bananas as a decoy
so Bing can marry Medusa to let everyone else be free!
There is even more lunacy happening within the walls of the old house, but I don't want to spoil it any more for you dear readers. There is enough
degradation happening in this house to make Joe D'Amato blush!
This plot summary however is based on the 120 minute version. A 150 minute does apparently still exist, but whether it features any more bizarre
stuff I would not have a clue...
Made in 1975 by gay filmmaker Curtis McDowell, Thundercrack! marks feature length debut after toiling around with short porno films for a few
years. Casting mainly people who he had previously worked with on the short films (including his own sister!) Thundercrack! displays an unusual
style, especially for the time, shot completely in B&W and looks like a 1930s silent film. Unfortunately the film itself wasn't silent as most of the
dialogue is mind-numbingly retarded, but in a laugh out loud kind of way, with my favourite line being "have you ever seen an ostrich run down by
a wheelchair?"
To look at this film in the sense of an ordinary movie would be missing its charm, as the camera work on this is as basic as it gets, and the "acting"
is fucking atrocious. Where Thundercrack! Works, is in its absolute absurdity and taboo breaking hardcore sex scenes. Originally released on a
limited porno theatre run in the 70s, Thundercrack! has never had a legitimate release. A DVD has been in the works for a while now (nearly 4
years!) and it will be very interesting to see if it ever does see the light of day.
The print on the DVDR for sale by Super Happy Fun is surprisingly good, however the contrast levels are right up the shit, as some of the lighter
scenes make the whole screen go white, even with the brightness turned right down!
By all means any cult film fan worth their salt must see this film at least once in their lifetime. Sure it's pretty poorly made, but for sheer
entertainment value and cult status it can't be beaten.
