Plot: Two short films produced in the '70s by a young Clive Barker and several of his Liverpudlian pals (including Doug Bradley, who would later play Pinhead in the Hellraiser movies). Unless you're a rabid Barker fan or one of those sick bastards who takes a perverse pleasure in indecipherable art-films, you'll probably find these less than enthralling.
Salome clocks in at about 7 minutes, The Forbidden at nearly 14, but they both feel like a good two hours. Salome is a grainy reworking of the biblical story that looks as though it was shot in someone's basement (and as we learn later, it actually was). Lots of shots of a girl making faces and doing a swirly interpretive dance, as well as two guys I assume are meant to be King Herod and John the Baptist. They both look kind of disheveled and evil, so it's hard to tell who's who. The film itself should probably get points for effort (it's atmospheric as hell) but I couldn't escape the feeling that if you took a camera into the rest-room of a particularly seedy rock-club one night, you'd end up with the same film, frame-for-frame.
