HOLLYWOOD 90028 (1973) 3 disc (2 Blu-ray + CD soundtrack) set

HOLLYWOOD 90028 shows the dark side of the L.A. dream in the bleak and downbeat story of an aspiring movie cameraman turned serial murderer. Mark (Christopher Augustine) is a disturbed loner who toils in the sub-basement of the movie business as a cameraman shooting porno films for swinish boss Jobal (Dick Glass). In his off hours, Mark prowls the peep shows and strip clubs of Los Angeles to prey on random young women who he picks up and strangles to death. When Mark pursues a romantic interest in Michelle (Jeannette Dilger), a model who he films in one of Jobal's sleazy movies, the grim reality behind the fantasy leads the frustrated cinematographer to shoot a different kind of Hollywood ending.

Written and directed by esteemed experimental filmmaker Christina Hornisher, and beautifully captured through the lens of camera operator Jean-Pierre Geuens, who later shot the horror classic LEMORA: A CHILD'S TALE OF THE SUPERNATURAL, HOLLYWOOD 90028 offers a vivid time capsule of Los Angeles in the early 1970s.

REVIEWS:

"Somewhere between art film and exploitation. A bizarre, lost, and lonely low-budget time capsule of Los Angeles with a final shot that needs to be seen to be believed."
- Ti West, director of HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, X and MAXXXINE 

"To watch 90028 is to slowly sink into the murky land of lost dreams that was, and still is, the underbelly of Tinsel Town. Christina Hornisher’s lens looks presciently and compassionately at how the human heart can become so twisted that the one thing more terrifying than committing murder can be finding love. It’s not just a horror film. It’s a statement. And if that wasn’t enough, she caps off the film with one of the ballsiest and most provocative shots possibly ever made in Hollywood!"
- Arkasha Stevenson, director of THE FIRST OMEN 

"Part indie arthouse, part grindhouse and part historical travelogue of a now-vanished Los Angeles. Cursed with being decades ahead of its time, HOLLYWOOD 90028, Christina Hornisher's sole feature film, is a must-see."
- Sean Baker, director of TANGERINE and ANORA

"Seeing Christina Hornisher’s film, HOLLYWOOD 90028, is like time traveling into the past to see the magnificent future of cinema."
- Nicolas Winding Refn, director of THE NEON DEMON

"One of the craziest final shots I've ever seen...the audience collectively and audibly GASPED. Hollywood Babylon tales don't get much bleaker than this."
- Joe Lynch, director of SUITABLE FLESH and WRONG TURN 2

 "HOLLYWOOD 90028 is an unsettling, haunting film…an original and unforgettable viewing experience."
- Anna Biller, director of THE LOVE WITCH

 “Is it a formless, ennui-soaked art film or an unnerving serial killer thriller? Its mind-rending, final catharsis reveals it’s the essential missing link to both genres.”
- Dan Waters, screenwriter of HEATHERS

"A rare and exciting discovery…Powerful arthouse horror from a filmmaker who should have had a prolific career."
- William Bibbiani, THE WRAP

“I was blown away!”
– Buddy Giovinazzo, director of COMBAT SHOCK and LIFE IS HOT IN CRACKTOWN

"A ferocious time capsule of 1970s Los Angeles that expertly bounces between Cassavetes style realism, self-reflexive art film, and scuzzy exploitation.  I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen."
- Larry Karaszewski, co-writer of ED WOOD and DOLEMITE IS MY NAME
