It Came from Kuchar is the definitive, feature documentary about the legendary, underground filmmaking twins, the Kuchar brothers. George and Mike Kuchar have inspired two generations of filmmakers, actors, musicians, and artists with their zany, "no budget" films and with their uniquely enchanting spirits.

The comings and goings of the late underground filmmaker, Curt McDowell—and the people and activities that came and went along with him—are the themes that run through this existential diary of daily life. McDowell was dying from AIDS-related illnesses during the production of the diary. “An elegy for McDowell, the videowork captures Kuchar’s mournful remembrances of his long-lasting friendship with the young filmmaker. But it also has the inquisitive charm, perverse humor, and quirky candor that places Kuchar’s visual expressions in a gritty niche all their own.”

Siblings hide their ownership of a bordello from their mother. When she is visited by a man who shares the joys of sexual enlightenment with her, her entire world is turned upside down.

Prenez un début d'histoire d'horreur cliché, un manoir gothique isolé, une hôtesse folle, un groupe d'étrangers (quatre hommes, trois femmes et un gorille) et vous commencez à voir que ce n'est pas un film sérieux, mais plutôt une parodie de plusieurs autres (plus anciens et meilleurs). La confusion et l'incompréhension sociale et sexuelle garantissent que cette étrange distribution de personnages se réunira, divertira et amusera.
