Herr O – Reviews 2020

Extensions II: Victory (2020 Version)

Too bad about the people we lost along the way huh ? Bravo to DJM for his courageous re edit, which was was long overdue. As we look back, we can only forgive so much nonsense for so many minutes and E2 is the perfect length. Great to see Bob Berry, the OG Master and “mechanic to the director”. There were some great things happening in videoland back in the winter of 86 / 87 and Extensions 2 (2020) sits high on the mantle.

The First Tasting
A for effort. Great to see the reassembly of some of the cast. We have to work with Zoom, but when we do – we miss the dinner table scenes, the joviality and madness – which made the prequel so damn good.

Sea Peoples
Willhelm Benkerstein takes it to the hoop with this beautiful and strange work – his and now our beautiful masterpiece and the OBVIOUS WINNER OF THE HAVERHAST

The Sleep Demon
Brilliance in fast film making. The demon reminds me of the hallway scene in Rycortian’s “Picture them Damned” which won several awards for special effects that year.

The Will
This was a joy to make and OD’s maturity in writing – is on display here. Shout out to DJM for the very emotional twists and turns in his fine performance as Gregory Silver. Bob’s saturnine turn as The Preceptor is subtle brilliance.

On the Transmigration of Marjorie Nolan

The Transmigration in the form of Marjorie Nolan. Interesting concept, very cool animation.

The Tasting

Great costumes.Dark. Strange.

When The Alarm Goes Off
I always enjoy the work of F2 even without shit jokes. Bravo again for great film making and tripping ballz.

The Realization

A fantastic assortment of clips. Great editing.
