This week's new DVD & Blu-ray
Forbidden Zone Brothers Danny and Richard Elfman used to head legendary performance art troupe The Mystic Knights Of The Oingo Boingo, whose bizarro, overblown shows featured a whole host of twisted showtunes. When they morphed into the excellent, more managably sized, new wave rockers Oingo Boingo (best known in the UK for the theme tune to John Hughes's movie Weird Science), the Elfmans wanted to record their out-of-control live show for posterity. And that's where this 1982 curio comes in. Filming over several months, the duo roped in as many of their fringe friends as possible – including Warhol superstar Viva, Fantasy Island star Hervé Villechaize and UK performance duo The Kipper Kids – to string together a dozen or so songs in an anything-goes fashion. It's a strange movie, a true cult oddity and one of the last gasps of the bygone midnight movie circuit. Shot in black and white (though there's also a colourised version in this reissue), using mostly painted cardboard sets, it resembles a nightmarish Betty Boop cartoon in which a crazed family has adventures in the sixth dimension. Danny Elfman obviously went on to become one of the biggest soundtrack composers around, and you can seen why he and Tim Burton gravitated towards each other. The movie is a look into Hollywood's own Forbidden Zone, a place where anything could happen and which few know of today.
