Headfirst Editor's Pick
"The final film in Heavy Pictures’ LA grime triptych: nearly buried 70s sleaze-noir Hollywood 90028 follows an aspiring cinematographer’s rampage through nihilism, misogyny and masculine inadequacy in a feverish, self-reflexive portrait of Tinseltown psychosis. Don’t underestimate it because of its exploitation trappings – it’s a microbudget masterpiece."

Heavy Pictures Presents, Hollywood 90028. Released in 1974 for a very short time on VHS, it was dubbed a lost film for many years. But it has been found and restored by Grindhouse Releasing.
Made by Christina Hornisher for the drive-in circuit, she tapped into the peeping tom feel and gave it a grindhouse edge.
The film follows Mark, a young photographer, who travels to LA hoping to make it big as a cameraman. Very quickly, he realises how cutthroat the business really is. Stuck filming porn loops and falling deeper into despair, he uses his camera skills to torment his victims.
Entry requirements: 18+
