ANARCHY PARLOR is a horror film about a mysterious nomad simply known as the "Artist" who practices a dark art form passed down through the generations. He creates much more than tattoos for tourists who visit his Lithuanian Tattoo Parlor. Shot entirely on location in Vilnius Lithuania, ANARCHY PARLOR features two well-known cast members in the tattoo and horror world. Heavily tattooed lead actor Robert LaSardo (Death Race, Nip/Tuck, Human Centipede 3) portrays "The Artist", and Sara Fabel (well-known Finnish tattoo artist and model) plays his seductive apprentice "Uta". Anarchy Parlor will be a frighteningly, terrific thrill to the die-hard fans. Written by Gravitas Ventures
The genesis is this: a group of kids are on vacation in Lithuania and all hell breaks loose. The difference between this movie and films like Hostel is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Instead of following typical storytelling conventions that try to get you to care about the kids on vacation, Anarchy Parlor invests its time in the bad guys. Here, he's not just a one dimensional psychopath, he's a fully fleshed out character, hero and anti-hero. And his apprentice, a woman by the way is the psychopath.
The kids do in fact make a series of horrible decisions. So horrible, that its clearly a wink and a nod at the audience, like hey, we know what you came to see and we're gonna give it to you! The production value is amazing. The gore is so realistic, I had to watch with volume down. The torture scenes, plus the eerie Tattoo Owner and his apprentice are worth the price of admission. It does a nice job of balancing the intensity (check the chase sequence) with levity and some pretty raunchy sex scenes for all you fan boys out there. It also wastes zero time getting to the gore...no long set ups, no lengthy dialogue, you're in it right away.
It reminds me of what horror movies used to be, fun, silly and scary. I'd much rather hear these kids curse up a storm before they get sliced and diced than be bored to death with some convoluted mythology that takes so long to explain, I stop caring at all. It also has a great twist at the end that elevates it from just your typical horror flick to a damn how did I miss that?! Head Scratcher. Anarchy Parlor is just straight up fun to watch!
