WHEN THE MOON IS FULL, THE BLOOD TIDE RISES

Widely regarded as Ittenbach's masterpiece, this is one of the strangest horror anthologies ever made. Produced not long after BLACK PAST, Ittenbach writes, directs, and co-stars, playing an ultra-dirtbag fictionalized version of himself, the delinquent Peter. When he isn't flunking classes or taking part in ultra-violent teenage gang wars, he's stuck babysitting his little sister. He decides to torment her with two twisted tales: one about a woman on a blind date from hell, the other about a serial killer priest who hopes to literally raise Hell. The picture is infamous for its deranged maximalist finale, a Dante's Inferno-like descent into the putrid. THE BURNING MOON is a must-see for folks who yearn for homemade gore in their horror.

Taking a trip into hell on a skateboard that's rolling over shattered glass and broken bones.
