It Happened One Weekend

Of all the films in which the director provides non-diegetic narration that expresses his distaste for dialogue in movies because they're "motion" pictures not "talkie" pictures, SCARLET WARNING: 666 is my favorite.

this is my favorite film

Well, it has finally happened. After fifty plus years of watching all sorts of strange cinema, both hidden treasures and complete cult trash, a film has finally broken me. It is not hyperbole to say this is the most anti-movie movie I ever seen. There is not a moment in…

The first truly unrateable film I’ve watched since discovering David “The Rock” Nelson, which is fitting given this was made by similarly nicknamed Palmer Rockey. I’ve never seen anything make less sense in my entire life, across all media and/or art forms. I feel as though…

"Scarlet Warning 666", aka "It Happened One Weekend", aka "Love is Deep Inside" as it's titled on the print included with the Grindhouse Releasing Blu-ray, was almost lost forever after its abysmal opening week in theaters back in 1974. It was the passion project of Palmer…

I've had the pleasure of viewing the LOVE IS DEEP INSIDE cut of this film. This film is a postmodern, psychotronic journey like no other. 'Rockey High' rules.

This is a film that is more interesting to read about than to watch. According to the liner notes in the Grindhouse Blu Ray set (where the film is billed as Scarlet Warning 666), Palmer Rockey spent decades shooting, reshooting, editing, and reediting this pic, until it…
