“Charles Pinion... is engaged in a similar polemic to Stewart Home; what he does reincorporates trash film and mass new production techniques.”
“Charles Pinion has been one of my favorite filmmakers for many years. No one captures the dream state — supra-normal narrative twists, terrifying horror, animalistic eroticism, outrageous humor and child-like wonder — better than he. Weaving these disparate elements into seamless storytelling makes a Pinion film like no other.”

“In the nineties, the video movie revolution seemed to be the promised land for filmmakers of non-mainstream genres. Essentially, drive-ins were finished--those that did remain only showed Hollywood blockbusters. Most cities were even without a Saturday afternoon horror show/host. But there was a buzz amongst fans of the underground that something bolder lay ahead. Using low budget video, directors could make their movies without fear of losing Hollywood $$$$. Right-wing conservatives couldn’t keep their movies from being in the crappy mall multiplex because directors were going to produce/distribute their works themselves. It all sounded good. Unfortunately, it hasn’t quite turned out that way.
“Here at Video Crypt, we see too many titles issued that lack imagination, style, or purpose. Many aren’t taking risks and those that do often don’t possess an artistic vision. The technology keeps getting better as imaginations seemingly regress.
“It wasn’t always that way. In the early days of Video Crypt we were excited over the ultra low-budget works of John Michael McCarthy (Damselvis Daughter Of Helvis & Teenage Tupelo), Scooter McCrae (Shatter Dead), Howard S. Berger/Matthew Howe (Original Sins), and Charles Pinion (Red Spirit Lake and We Await). All these directors made wild, in your face movies that not only took on taboo subjects (religion, sex, violence, and culture clashes) - - but were also extremely entertaining.
“But none impressed us more than Charles Pinion. Arriving in New York from Gainesville, Florida for the tail end of the Cinema Of Transgression scene--made famous by people such as Richard Kern, Nick Zedd, Beth B., and Lydia Lunch--Pinion was a painter/printmaker, high school teacher turned punk rock frontman, who was now an actor and director. It wasn’t very long before Pinion took the Cinema Of Transgression’s subversive elements and mixed them with inspired drive-in madness.”
