Twisted Issues

Twisted Issues

Billed as a 'psycho-punk splatter-comedy,' shot on VHS videotape, Twisted Issues exemplifies punk's DIY philosophy. Features Gainesville, Florida punk bands such as Psychic Violents, Young Pioneers, Mutley Chix, Doldrums, Just Demi-gods, Cindy Brady's Lisp, Officer Friendly, and the Smegmas, as well as local speed metal band Hellwitch avante gard incidental music by The Bill Perry Orchestra. Director Charles Pinion went on to make several other underground movies ("Red Spirit Lake", "We Await").

"Twisted Issues" was originally intended to be a punk rockumentary featuring Gainesville bands, but the inclusion of writers Steve Antczak and Hawk (James C. Bassett) to the mix added the horror, or splatter, element to the story, featuring a so-called Death Skater who hacks up characters played by members of the aforementioned bands after they inadvertently kill him. Segments of the movie were written by different people, notably Chuck Speta ("Atomic Comix"). "Film Threat Video Guide" called "Twisted Issues" one of the 25 Must-See Underground Movies of the 1980s.

The VHS version of TWISTED ISSUES has been long unavailable except from eBay. However, it's now possible to get a limited edition DVD (313 copies made) of TWISTED ISSUES from the filmmaker at his website (noted below).
