Johnny Terris

Bio:
Before creating Terfer Productions in 2004, filmmaker Johnny Terris started out doing gritty and extreme underground film in Canada in the late 80s and early 90s.

After putting filmmaking on hiatus for some 10 years, he has once again rejoined the film industry as both filmmaker and actor, delivering some of his most brutal work to date.

Heavily influenced by and often described as an underground Dario Argento by peers concerning his cinematic imagery, his films are reminiscent of the no wave punk driven Cinema of Transgression movement of the mid-80s, usually combined with a rock and roll or heavy metal soundtrack and an extreme anti-Hollywood/anti-mainstream message.

As well as starring in the films from Terfer Productions, this summer he will be starring in the feature film Silent Alarm directed by award winning cinematographer/director, Steve Ashlee and in the Jimmy O Burril sequel Chainsaw Sally 2: Bloodkin alongside gore legend Herschell Gordon Lewis and the original cast of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

In mid 2007 he will be producing and directing a full length documentary on New Wave of British Heavy Metal legends Girlschool.

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

Salò is a controversial 1975 Italian film written and directed by Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini with uncredited writing contributions by Pupi Avati.[1][2] It is based on the book The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade. Because of its scenes depicting intensely graphic violence, sadism, and sexuality, the movie was extremely controversial upon its release, and remains banned in several countries to this day. It was Pasolini's last film; he was murdered shortly before Salò was released.

The film focuses on four wealthy, corrupted fascist libertines in 1944 Nazi-controlled Italy who kidnap a total of eighteen teenage boys and girls and subject them to four months of extreme violence, sadism, sexual and mental torture before finally executing them one by one. The film is noted for exploring the themes of political corruption, abuse of power, sadism, perversion, sexuality, and fascism.

Although it remains a controversial film to this day, it has been praised by various film historians and critics, and while not typically considered a horror film, Salò was named the 65th scariest film ever made by the Chicago Film Critics Association in 2006.
