The Allins

Summary In New Hampshire, a legend is buried. GG Allin, the most outrageous singer in rock'n roll history. He was known for defecating on stage, fighting and having sex with the audience. He died a mythological death from a heroin overdose in 1993, aged 37. Directed by the award-winning director Sami Saif, THE ALLINS is a loving and entertaining look at the family of the departed rock singer. Twenty years on from his all too premature passing in 1993, we meet GG's mother Arleta and brother Merle, each of whom in their own personal way has tried to come to terms with GG's death. Arleta tackles her grief by having her son's gravestone removed from the cemetery in New Hampshire. She is tired of watching his fans pay tribute to GG by vandalizing his grave. That is not the son she wants to remember. She wants to remember GG, the man - a loving son and brother. Brother Merle, on the other hand, keeps himself and the myth about the world's most destructive rock'n roll musician going by selling merchandise and by breathing life into their old joint band, Murder Junkies. As the family story unfolds - from an impoverished childhood ruled by a tyrannical, brutal father to an adult life marked by a complete lack of boundaries, which in GG's case ended in drugs, violence and prison - Arleta and Merle try to find themselves and their common past.

A pale hand came from the back seat.... 4. 'Undôkai no 8mm film ni...' An 8mm film taken by the father of a field day when the provider was in the second grade of elementary school. A sad boy's face is shown.... 5. 'Yami ni ukabu otoko no kao' A video of a test of courage held at a club's training camp. In the darkness, there's a face that's clearly not related.... 6. 'Shinrei shashin ga tora reta genba nite' This photo was taken at a castle ruin in the outskirts of Tokyo. It was a staff member who visited the place where the photo was taken with the provider, but.... 7. 'Yaneura ni dô meku hito no kao' The state of an attic shot for preliminary inspection by a pest control contractor. A white spirit moves as if to avoid the light source.... 8.

'Butsudan no iei no kao ga...' The provider came to visit her parents' house with a young child. For some reason, the portrait of her grandfather placed on the Buddhist altar behind has gotten bigger.... 13. 'Osoikakaru rap-on' A video that accidentally captured the moment when a rap sound suddenly resounded in an empty space. And the woman who was there suddenly lost consciousness.... The fear grows! Earthbound spirits, vengeful spirits, floating spirits, guardian spirits.... It's full of mysterious images that cannot be explained by science!
