Tights Worship: Inside the Practices of The Rita

About This Movie

Tights Worship is a fascinating dive into Sam McKinlay's journey, from punk skateboarder to a conceptual artist. It captures that raw, gritty essence of his early days, all while exploring the strange intersection of noise music and exploitation film. The pacing is a bit erratic, much like the themes it tackles, weaving through his academic growth and the physicality of his work. You'll find a unique atmosphere here—part gallery, part underground scene. The practical effects used in the film add a distinct texture that feels almost voyeuristic, perfectly embodying the sleazy undertones of McKinlay's artistic vision. It's a thought-provoking watch that doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable.
