Topic: Fredric Hobbs


  
  Scanlines: A couple of cult films
Alabama's Ghost is another installment in the triptych of films from the inept genius Fredric Hobbs (the third film is 1977's Roseland).
The time comes for Alabama's big show and he cruises up in the Alabama-mobile, Hobbs' "transcontinental automotive sculpture" (a cat-turd-colored thing with various evil-looking heads sprouting up out of it), a robot Alabama is substituted, and I won't give away the ending.
I can't figure out whether drugs played a part in Fredric Hobbs' imagination, or if he's just totally eccentric, but either way this movie and The Godmonster of Indian Flats are two of the most bizarre entries that you'll run across.

 dOc DVD Review: Godmonster Of Indian Flats (1973)
Experimental director and artist Fredric Hobbs is the man behind this 1973 oddity.
Hobbs made his real mark with the 1970 release Roseland, a completely unhinged saga laced with nudity, depravity and the dreamy visual influence of the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch.
Clemens discovers that the old mine gives off some strange vapors that may be the cause of the mutation, as well as being the origin for the old legend of a monster that once haunted the area.

Now, it is returning to the Fox Valley not as a play but as a program for people with dementia in long-term care facilities and adult day services.
UW Oshkosh psychology professor Susan McFadden and two of her students, along with two staff members from the Evergreen Retirement Community in Oshkosh, recently went to Milwaukee for training in the innovative "TimeSlips" technique so they can use it at Evergreen and other facilities in the Fox Valley.
Next fall semester, the students – Shannon Hobbs of Berlin and Rachel Henn of Appleton – will volunteer at Evergreen where they will use the technique to tap into the creative potential of people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.

 Monsters At Play: Godmonster of Indian Flats Review
Experimental artist Fredric Hobbs final film (thank godmonster) gives us a "unique" spin on the "rampage of nature" sub genre made famous by such films as Night of the Lepus and Food of the Gods.
There are actually two stories here and unfortunately Hobbs decides to focus on the talkier of the two (damn you Hobbs!).
What we're really left with is not much mutant sheep action at all in the long run (damn you Hobbs!).

Once upon a time, director FREDRIC HOBBS made a sex film called Roseland that turned out to be one of the weirdest, wackiest, oddballest sex films ever made.
This outrageous obscurity received a limited theatrical release in 1973 which must have given brain seizures to those lucky enough to see it unfold on the big screen.
As Michael Weldon has already asked, “Who is Hobbs and how could he have escaped attention for so long?!?” There’s also a funeral for a non-dead dog, and a brief cameo by ERICA GAVIN (Vixen) in a Reno casino.

Not in the league of the big bunny rampage of Night Of The Lepus or Marjoe Gortner's futile stand against huge beasties in Food Of The Gods, Godmonster Of Indian Flats is a monster movie that almost forgets the monster.
The mutant is whisked away to the secret lab of Dr. Clemens (Hobbs regular E. Kerrigan Prescott) and his faithful assistant Mariposa (Karen Ingenthron).
It might be quantity over quality, but I like it.

 DVD Talk > Reviews > Godmonster of Indian Flats
It's this sort of mixing and matching that intrigued experimental artist and filmmaker Fredric Hobbs who made a handful of movies that hopscotched through genres and zany situations that flirted with almost hallucinogenic results.
There's a musical number from Hobbs' Roseland affectionally dubbed "You Cannot Fart Around with Love." But what really makes this disc a keeper is a sick little short called The Geek about this group of long-hairs who wander into the woods in search of Bigfoot.
The 15-minute flick is treated as a dryly-narrated documentary until we abruptly behold a guy in a Sasquatch suit frantically diddling a blonde flower child in an open field while her shocked friends watch -- only she doesn't seem to MIND!
