Very disappointed :(

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

During the early 80's I attended many screenings where Anger was present to introduce "Scorpio Rising." The clips of Jesus are not from "King of Kings" as one viewer wrote,but according to Anger, the clips are from a religious instruction film that he received by mistake one day while he was editing the film. He took it as sign to use some clips in the film. This is a great work of art and one of the best and most influential underground films ever created. It's influence on the modern music video and other aspects of popular culture cannot be dismissed. I urge everyone to get the 2 volume DVD set that's out now. Check out Anger's other films among them "Puce Moment," "Rabbit's Moon," and "Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome." "It's my happening and it freaks me out!"

Look, if there's one thing I know, I know movies. And I don't know what to make of this. My film appreciation professor just showed it to me and I was really weirded out. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the Bikers came across as a little gay. It's really weird that Elvis Presly and that guy who sang Blue Velvet would approve of this kind of stuff, but I guess they are in show business where gayness is like normal.Another weird thing, why did Charle Chaplin look all old and mad? Is it because this guy filmed him for the movie without permission? If that's the case, it's just not cool. It's amazing what make-up will do for some people, he looked really stern and scary! But there's a really sweet bike wreck at the end. You have to wait a long time to get into it, but this guy totally spills off his bike. So I guess that was cool. So I'm going to give it a 5.I don't know, you might like it better.

Kenneth Anger is the god of modern film underground. Scorpio Rising told directors like Lynch, Scorsese, Fassbinder and others what to do to become brilliant. Overwhelming, powerful, controversial, unique, bizarre... The best movie ever ma

i totally agree with a previous guy...this movie is on par with a bout de souffle for sheer vision. like nothing that came before it. the first time i saw a gregg araki film, i was very impressed...then i saw this and kustom kar kommandos. that someone could have produced this in 1964 is almost unbelievable.
