“Backwoods” or “GEEK” is a small, cheap and rather unknown representative of the horror genre, which can nevertheless be described as atmospheric and is initially apparently not ineffective despite, but in reality precisely because of, its rather moderate pace. The film spends most of its running time establishing its backwoods setting, which succeeds well, not least thanks to the extremely believable acting of Dick Kreusser. You probably still need a strong love for this genre to like Backwoods so much. Compared to the miserable reviews in the various film databases on the Internet, I find Backwoods beautiful precisely because of its unspectacular nature, especially since it goes perfectly with the hinterland subject, as does the out-of-time quality that the Backwood genre always focuses on aptly reflects the banality with which misfortune sometimes breaks into life. Backwoods is certainly not a great moment in its genre, but it is one of those small contributions that I am happy about (re)discovering and that also contribute to the construction of the genre as such.

GEEK aka Backwoods (1986) - Full Movie

Karen (Christine Noonan) and her doctor friend Jamie (Brad Armacost) take a bike ride into the Kentucky backcountry for a romantic weekend camping. They meet Hillbilly Eben (Dick Kreusser), whose daughter Beth Jamie, who had an accident, saves her life with a courageous tracheotomy. When the couple accepted the invitation from the odd hillbilly, they had no idea that they would soon make an uncomfortable acquaintance with Eben's degenerate son, William. His father keeps him in a wooden crate because he has the unpleasant habit of biting off small animals' heads ...

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced press reporting politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I'm aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I won't change it to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it is "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
