THIS WEEK’S FREE STREAMERHard

Director John Huckert‘s Hard is so obscure, it doesn’t even have a Wikipedia entry.

However, because of its passing resemblances to Seven, Silence of the Lambs, and Cruising, several mainstream and not-so-mainstream film critics have written about it.

I’ve collected some links here on Raindrop.io.

Serial killers always get inordinate amounts of attention from the MSM, and but somehow less approbation if they’re gay. If they’re killing gays… well, that’s another story.

Here’s what I wrote about Hard on Letterboxd:

The execution of this serial killer/cop procedural/coming out story is so amateurish and provided so many ironic laughs that for the first 30 minutes I thought I was getting camp. But then as the story cemented and the ideas coalesced, I realized it was more a Larry Cohen movie from the seventies than a John Waters one: in the taut screenplay; the brutal, gory, and explicit shots of murders; and the serious attention given to the similar psychologies of cop and killer. That doesn’t mean I never laughed again, but it did mean I paid a lot more attention. (There’s also a real gay hardon.)

Rick Powell, Letterboxd

That might not sound like a recommendation, but it is.

 

Tip the writer?

 

 

Before Hard, Huckert wrote, directed, and produced a horror film called The Passing. I’m trying to snag that via torrent right now. Hard can’t be found anywhere other than a low-quality rip on YouTube.

If you’re squeamish, you can watch Hard on Amazon Prime instead of here (#CommissionsEarned) or you can download it from my collection.

This is the unrated director’s cut.
