'70s Horror(?) Movie I Just Saw for the First Time

A Clockwork Orange (three and a half stars total) Pornographic. Sacreligious. Smug. However, reading the unabridged novel helps. If you've read the previously omitted 21st chapter of Anthony Burgess's novel, A Clockwork Orange (1962), I'll say that the film adaptation is halfway between George Lucas' THX 1138 (1971) and American Graffiti (1973) because it's a disturbing dystopia on the one hand, but you know at least one kid eventually gets out of town. If you're unaware of that redeeming final chapter, I'll say that the film's somewhere between One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (coincidentally another 1962 novel; its film adaptation was released in 1975) and Terry Gilliam's Brazil (1985). What's scary is that the gang uniforms in A Clockwork Orange (1971) were still considered cool almost a decade later in The Warriors (1979). What's scary is that the modern design in A Clockwork Orange looks like IKEA does right now. Perhaps you don't think the films I've listed here are scary, but they deal more directly with the issues that scare people deep down than any of the other films I've reviewed so far this month. Horror is inhumanity with a glossy veneer (and a "Guinness World Record for being the first movie in media history using the Dolby Sound system" - Wikipedia). Horror is insanity that's applauded and made mainstream. Like Hollywood in general.
