Every nightmare Big Gay Horror Fan has involves the loud, college age couple, next door, rampaging through his apartment as he shrivels, naked in the corner, listening to them pontificate about his – um-m – inadequacies.

Therefore, I can truly relate to the dilemma the comatose Amber faces in Cory J. Udler’s manic and inventive IDS Rising. Here, in the third of Udler’s controversial Incest Death Squad series and, easily, the best offering from this demented genius yet, IDS mainstay Amber finds herself confronted by her previous victims and dead family members in a dream-like purgatory, while she hovers between life and death.

Udler utilizes inventive cinematography, cheesy orchestrated arrangements of such songs as “You Light Up My Life” and plenty of sophisticated perversion to delve into Amber’s back story as the angered ghosts of her past force her to confront herself. Firmly rooted in the independent exploitation scene, Udler, also, has amazing art house sensibilities that give even his more gruesome notions a poetic poignancy and depth. He does tend to throw everything at the screen. Hence, the third act revelation about Amber’s origins may or may not work in your favor, but his joyously demented artistry often leads to, both, legitimate admiration and jaw dropping respect.

Granted, your pleasure with IDS Rising may hinge on your familiarity with the series, but even the uninitiated can be find much to admire in the twisted focus of its primary cast members. In particular, Carmela Wiese has grown with much purpose in the role of Amber. Her sensitive, shell shocked portrayal will have you rooting for her despite the devilish acts she has been a party to. Greg Johnson’s continued commitment to his role as Amber’s older sibling, also, deserves many positive nods. The sequence in which his Jeb shaves his body hair in order to take over as the family matriarch (makes you really, really wanna see this, now, no?) is perversely beautiful and contains his (and Udler’s) best work, as of yet.
