CHARITY!

About This Movie

'CHARITY!' is an intriguing blend of dark comedy and pop culture critique. Set against the backdrop of 1999, it paints a vivid picture of a closeted Irish pop star battling the sinister forces of a ruthless record label. The film’s atmosphere is marked by a surreal quality, almost dreamlike in how it juxtaposes fame with the grotesque realities that accompany it. The performances, especially from the lead, oscillate between vulnerability and fierce defiance, making for a compelling character study. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, heightening the sense of absurdity without overshadowing the narrative. It’s definitely a unique exploration of the toll of fame, and feels like a hidden gem waiting for more eyes to catch it.

'CHARITY!' is somewhat elusive in terms of availability, which has fueled a niche collector interest. Its obscurity adds to its allure, as it hasn't been widely released across formats. On the rare occasion it surfaces in online marketplaces or collector swaps, it often stirs conversations about both its narrative style and the performances that breathe life into it. Those who manage to get a copy often find themselves drawn into its unique mix of humor and horror, making it a fascinating piece for any serious collection.
