Nightsatan and the Loops of Doom. The ultimate post-apocalyptic synthesizer short film. [NSFW]
Anybody who found The Princess Bride to be insufficiently progressively-minded will probably not need to free up the full twenty-four minutes for this video.

So...you didn't watch much of it...like a woman with a collar around her neck and a close-up of her pudenda as she urinates, or the graphic mutilation of a hanging woman's nude corpse?
I know of no better tag than grindhouse (as the OP states) for this reasonably competent execution of story, camera, and editing, but NSFW barely covers what is appropriate labeling. As content goes, I'm happy MetaFilter is sufficiently inclusive to post something like this, but it IS problematic.

This called for an immediate forward to a friend. But only one friend. He can deal with the politics of who else to put on the email chain.

Umm. yeah. Unless you like (what appears to be) Russian Style machismo filtered through Italian low-budget 80s sci-fi, I'd give it a pass. It doesn't even pass the 'so bad it's good' filter. It's got its moments, I won't deny it; but the ugly sexual mores and scream loops are just horrible.

That's a better summation than my own, NiteMayr...Genre filtered Russian style machismo...
It's interesting as an artifact, but a cup of tea I can skip.

Yeah, uh . . . wouldn't recommend this for viewing. However, if still considering voting for Trump, please watch.

That was something else. I thought it was well done, for what it is. The cinematography was campy but good, the music was a perfect replica of the genre, the goriness was well executed and the storyline stayed true to the style. That said, I wouldn't watch it again - too much misogyny and downright wrongness. Again, true to the style.
Be warned! Cannibalism! Nudity! Horror! 80's synth movie music!

This should be the textbook example.

they appear to be Finnish. I was more offended by the meticulous nostalgia.

Ah yes, this is totally NSFW. I think the breasts are probably the tamest part of this movie. Sorry I didn't mention it was a crazy grindhouse movie in the description, rather than my first comment. I haven't posted here in so long i'm out of practice.

Heh, yeah, I saw "grindhouse" and skimmed the preview frames until I found something that was definitely NSFW, and tagged it. should have guessed that was the least of it, but grindhouse is *so* not a genre I can stand to watch.

Come for the misogyny, stay for the homophobia and transphobia!
