Mondo Sexxxx: The Terry Kobrah Story (2011)

- written June 24th, 2011

Summary: Introducing Terry Kobrah...a man whose morals and general actions were extremely absurd to say the least. This docu/dark comedy looks back on his life after 'the accident' at an Acid factory which confined him to a wheelchair, mostly... and gave him a new perspective on life. Exposing the outside world to his past exploits, including his adopted 'family' of Gimps, mondo bitches, family life, his obsession with cats, kidnapping women, his sex complex, life as a child, and the 'Everyman theatre' a pervert sex show which gathered a cult following and put him in a position where he felt on top of the world until the theatre was shut down and he was diagnosed HIV positive...Includes interviews of past family members, fans, personal friends, and even Terry himself moments before his death.           The Terry Kobrah Story documents the rise and fall of a crazed small town theatrical director. Set in a small Appalachian town, Terry's transformation from star business man to cripple to director to corpse is told through a darkly comedic lens. Though presented as a biopic, Mondo Sexxxx incorporates several sub-genres, such as exploitation and farce, to create the diseased atmosphere which Terry inhabits.           Overall: A very disturbing film but so wittily arranged and put together. It can be a hard watch at times but those who get into it will really find it interesting. Who is this guy…why does he do what he does, who would even follow him. It’s a different film and definitely a must-see for those looking for something original, unique and “not the same ole thing!”
