Trapped Ashes is a stylistic celluloid explosion of surreal, erotic, bizarre and beautiful tales. This affectionate modernization of, and a loving tribute to classic anthology films like Kwaidan, Dead of Night, Tales from the Crypt, The House that Dripped Blood and Dr. Terror's House of Horrors. Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling) is our host; the ever-provocative Ken Russell (Altered States, Tommy, The Devils), takes a stab at the breast augmentation industry with unexpected results; Sean S. Cunningham (Friday the 13th) leads us on a partially animated, erotic trip into Japanese Hell; indie icon Monte Hellman (Two Lane Blacktop, Cockfighter) introduces us to Stanly, a young genius filmmaker and his new girlfriend - the woman who may have shaped his entire career; and John Gaeta (an Oscar-winner for The Matrix) explores the miracle of birth. Hellman's sequence premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and the entire anthology premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. |
