The A’s are overrated. A-list celebs don’t make reality TV shows or star in B movies, preferring to take their of set careers to the theater. Personally, I have always loved B Movies, especially ones that revolve around shoes, or at least have a pair play a major role in the loosely assembled plot.

The Town That Boars Me is a 15 minute web film done in a musical B-movie style. If you loved John Waters early films or the Rocky Horror Picture show, you’ll have an appreciation of the campy plot of a sociopath butcher boy/high heel fetishist. For such a short film by young director Ben Charles Edwards, it has an ensemble cast Starring Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sadie Frost, Jodie Harsh, Zandra Rhodes, Dee C Lee, Natt Weller and Kelly Osbourne.

It’s pure camp, and while some people may prefer more polished cinematic features, I remain a lover of films that are slightly (or very) twisted.

Watch the The Town that Boars Me here:

Female Trouble

A John Water’s classic, because you know nice girls don’t wear cha cha heels.

  1. Why no comments???? How can this be? Don’t people understand how much fashion comes from twisted B grade films.

    This film is too much…running on the spot in high heels is one my favorite pass times.

  4. My exposure to B movies is purely because of my sister. She loves the genre and adores John Waters.

  5. I love ‘em too. Have you seen Ed Wood? Starring the always-beautiful-and-perfect Johnny Depp. He portrays the titular earnest, angora sweater loving cross-dressing movie director Ed Wood. Though I think Ed Wood’s movies were probably considered C, D or E!
