‘Goodbye romance – welcome reality’ is the almost programmatic title of one of the songs that accompanies this remarkable film by Siggi Götz and Jess Franco’s former assistant, who died young. The 18-year-old Dave is imprisoned for stealing a motorbike, but fakes a suicide and, chased by law enforcement officers, makes his way through West Berlin, which was surrounded by a wall at the time and is the film’s secret main attraction. First he seeks out his girlfriend, a stripper in one of the city’s hippest clubs, then he settles unfinished business with his ex-client … Schenkel’s official directorial debut – enriched with great punk and new wave music made in West Germany – is a chilly and visually stunning document of the no-future generation. Rightly cult!

Quote:
Dave knows what it is to suffer. Especially when he takes the rap for a gang of motorbike thieves and ends up in jail. All for the love of Corinna, his beautiful girlfriend. Refused parole and nearly insane with frustration he makes a violent escape to be with her and strike back.

Quote:
He is 18 and his name is David Balko, but everyone calls him Dave. He is in prison for tampering with stolen motorcycles. All hope of early release is dashed – no one from his former gang shows up and his girlfriend Corinna visits less and less often. Dave snaps. He takes off. But his escape costs a human life and turns into a nightmare. The story of a desperate search for happiness escalates into a blind rampage.

The post Carl Schenkel – Kalt wie Eis AKA Strike Back (1981) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This slow-moving occult thriller has Pamela Sue Martin and hubbie Tim Matheson menaced by a coven of witches when they move to an island off the coast of Massachusetts. Director Carl Schenkel — who went on to make the interesting Knight Moves — does the best he can with a tedious script and a lot of miscasting, but it doesn’t make the movie any more interesting. It looks like a who’s who of ’80s sitcoms, with Woody Harrelson, Jeff Conaway, and Inga Swenson along for the evil doings, but some viewers will be rolling on the floor when they see Leave It to Beaver’s Barbara Billingsley as a 300-year-old witch. The highlight of the film is an exploding church, which may just be loud enough to wake you up so you can rewind the tape. “
