Now I won't for a minute claim that I know what Hallelujah! Gorilla
Revival is even about, because I haven't the foggiest, basically it
looks like found footage material (found footage from before found footage
became an actual genre) strund together to fill up 5 minutes of
screentime. Well, that's what it "looks" like, but not what it
feels like, as the seemingly random clips are held together by a certain
feel for the macabre, from the cute girl playing her saxophone next to a
dead deer to the guy telling about his stepsister drowning his dogs to a
mother threatening her son's girlfriend in a rather inappropriate way to
some sound bits fitting the best of the serialkillers. It's
pretty much like that, after having watched Hallelujah! Gorilla Revival
(an appropriately irreverent title by the way), your first thought might
just as well be "what garbage have I just seen?" followed quite
immediately by "may I see it again?" Sure, the film is abstract
and at least seemingly irreverent - but that doesn't mean it's unenjoyable
... it's great fun, actually!
