For a viewer seeking the "blue film" part of the keyword, Blue Movie is an essential deep cut. It is not a typical horror film and will not satisfy gore hounds. Instead, it is a challenging work for those who appreciate experimental transgressions and obscure Italian cinema. As one critic noted, it's "an extreme expressionist piece," a surrealist film "before anything else," which offers a unique viewing experience for those who are curious about the dark underbelly of 1970s art-house sleaze.
