Horror
555 - A real left over from
the late eighties when any and everyone with a camcorder could
get a movie into the video stores. this one has a some hippie
cutting up women after they get naked. (B)
THE ABOMINATION – Ultras gory creature
feature from the days of straight to tape mayhem. A woman
barfs up a tumor that grows into an all teeth, gut eating
monstrosity. Gorier than the law usually allows! (B)
ANOTHER SON OF SAM (1978) - While the case
was barely cold this ultra cheap production rolled, without
the case being solved yet. The odd thing is that this movie
wavers from wild over the top sensationalism to dry as burnt
toast artistic pretensions, sometimes within the same scenes.
Some call it an unwatchable mess, I call it fascinating and
sick! (D-)
AUTOPSY – U.S. – Very unusual
anti-war mondo effort from the seventies. The story is about
a combat photographer that can’t face up to death. He
explores America trying to get a grip on the phenomenon until
he decides to witness a real autopsy. All the documentary
footage (Including the autopsy) is real and woven into a narrative
story. Weird, but honest and affecting. Click HERE
for a review of this movie. (A)
BAD RONALD (1974) - Made for TV movie about
a dorky teen who kills a kid. To hide from the fuzz his insane
mother makes him live in a secret room behind the kitchen.
Eventually she dies, leaving him living there inside his own
fantasy world. When a new family with three teen daughters
move in things start getting really weird. Very hard to find.
(B+)
BACKWOODS – Your usual inbred hillbillies
on the loose chowing down on some foolish kids. (B+)
*BEAUTIFUL TEACHER IN TORTURE HELL (198?)- (NO ENGLISH)
- Yet another of those well made, intense and totally
politically wrong Nikatsu pink films that are sure to entrance
you, yet make you feel real dirty for watching. Plot? Well
a beautiful teacher is kidnapped and made to perform various
sexual scenarios for her captors in a "torture hell".
What the hell else did you think it was about? (B+)
BEHEADED 1000 - Joey Wang of CHINESE GHOST
STORY stars in this Hong Kong Horror. Ltbx, Subs! (A-)
*BLACK MAGIC 2 – AKA REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIES,
UNCUT DUBBED CHINA– Ho Menga’s outlandish
Chinese Voodoo gore classic! Nine-inch nails driven into heads,
worms under the skin, vampires that live off of human milk
and mutated fetuses galore. Reminds one of how inspired horror
movies without boundaries can be.( C+)
THE BLACK ROOM – U.S. – Early
eighties vampire tale that present vampirism as a form of
Anemia. A swinging vampire couple rent their opulent hotel
room out to swingers and drain the fuckers, literally. Watch
for a quick early role by Linnea Quigley. (B+)
BLOOD DELIRIUM – UNCUT ITALY–
Little seen Italian gem. A painter goes mad at the sudden
death of his wife and proceeds to kill people to complete
his paintings. Much like H.G. Lewis’ COLOR ME BLOOD
RED but much more serious and well made. (C)
BLOODY FRAGMENTS ON WHITE WALLS – S.O.V. LTBX!
SUBTITLED JAPAN – Short (65Min.) acid horrors.
A girl in a mysterious hospital hallucinates various grotesqueries,
such as her guts sloshing out. A surprise ending explains
it all. Quite harrowing and disturbing, and very well made
despite being shot on video. Written by the director of EVIL
DEAD TRAP 2. (B)
BLOOD SONG - Frankie Avalon plays an ax
wielding psychopath! Yes you read that right Frankie Avalon!
Used to be a favorite on the old COMMANDER USA show (B+)
*BLOOD SABBATH (1973) - Rather silly (but
full of nudity) adult fairy tale about a Vietnam soldier who
ends up lost in the woods. He meets a beautiful blonde witch
and falls in love. Unfortunately he has to contend with her
nemesis played by ILSA herself DYANNE THORNE (appropriately
named Alotta!). Some bloodshed and lots of naked bouncing
breasts. A real oddity. (B)
BLOODY TRAIL - I have no clue what this.
I still need to watch it! (B+)
*BORN OF FIRE (1986) - Extravagant head
movie that resembles El Topo in its surrealistic weirdness.
Recommended! (B+)
CALAMITY OF SNAKES - LTBX, NO ENGLISH -
Whacked out Indonesian snake puking, supernatural oddity is
sure to leave you slack jawed with envy that you didn't make
the damn thing! (A)
CARNAGE – Milligan strikes again!
Andy Milligan brings his own style (ineptitude) to the haunted
house genre with amusing results. What else can I say, you
either like his stuff or you don’t! (A-)
THE CARRIER - Very unusual AIDS allegory
gore film from the eighties. (A-)
*CASSANDRA – Haunted house shenanigans
with the ghost of a little murdered girl. (B+)
CENTIPEDE HORROR - LTBX, SUBTITLED - UPGRADE!
- Cool as hell bug puking horror flick from the land of great
food. This Hong Kong horror is one of the rightfully loved
"crazy Asians swallow large bugs and vomit them up"
school of horror! Great Quality too! (A)
CHINESE GHOST BUSTER – SUBTITLED & LTBX
CHINA – WU MA is back as yet another swordsman
Taoist priest battling ghosts and ghouls in the CHINESE GHOST
STORY rip off. Not as good as its inspirations, but certainly
not without charm. (A-)
THE CLOWN MURDERS (1976) - Yet another regional
70’s drive-in quickie about a killer wiping out clowns.
Distinguished by good pacing, a couple of solid scares and
the movie debut of John Candy (RIP). Over all lots of fun
(B)
*CODE OF THE HUNT – AKA COTA DE COZA SPAIN–
Jorg Grau film about a home invasion situation that haunts
for years. This is one of the most disturbing films of its
type approach with caution. (B-)
COLD EYES OF FEAR - Ltbx, Uncut home invasion
from Italy (A+)
*CONFESSIONS OF A SERIAL KILLER –
Bob Burns (R.I.P. Art director onTEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE0
stars as a serial killer modeled after Henry Lee Lucas. In
detail this is much closer to Henry’s rampage than the
movie that bears his name. This one is a grim, unflinching
look into his life and methods. Thoroughly disturbing, though
obviously made for peanuts. (A-)
COTON/ BIOTHERAPY – NO ENGLISH –
Extreme over the top Japanese sci-fi gore with monsters and
lots of transformations! I have no idea what the hell its
about, but man, they are both gory! (B)
CURSE - LTBX, SUBTITLED - More of the same
sort of mondo mayhem as CENTIPEDE HORROR. (A)
*DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS – LTBX, SUBTITLED, HONG
KONG – Very disturbing sex, murder and mayhem
comedy (you read that right!) about a young woman who’s
whole family has been brutally slaughtered and the wacky investigation
that follows. The last twenty minutes turn into a horror bloodbath
that will fuck you up for weeks! Click HERE
for a review of this movie. (B+)
DAUGHTER OF HORROR – B/W – 1950’s
underground classic tale of a woman going mad. Surreal in
the best way and with narration by ED McMahon! (A)
*DAY WITHOUT POLICEMEN – SUBTITLED & LTBX
CHINA– Boy this is one sick fucking movie!
Simon Yam stars as a cop with a crisis. How pukes his guts
out whenever he sees a machine gun. There is also a paramilitary
unit sweeping through his village and a rape and murder spree.
No a horror movie by design, but definitely one in execution
as every violent scene goes so far over the line that you
won’t believe it. Mastered directly from laser disc.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
You better believe you gotta be 21 to order! (A-)
DEADLINE - Funkadelic horror mind bender
about a novelist whose horrific prose begins to come true.
Includes the often-talked about dismemberment by farm machinery.
A whole lot of surprises, a true sleeper. (A)
*DEAR DEAD DELILAH – Drive-in quickie
with Angnus Moorehead as a old woman who refuses to die and
leave her shitty family the inherited riches. She sets them
all on a scavenger hunt on the estate for the bucks and everyone
starts dying, gorily! Great 70’s fun! (A-)
*DEATH POWDER – SUBTITLED, JAPAN –
Dense, confusion cyber thriller takes no pains to make the
audience understand. Instead it forges ahead with its own
logic and imagery and lets you pick up as you go along. At
times fascinating and oblique this short (just over an hour)
entry is worth a look for fans of the surreal. (B)
*DEMENTED – Regional horror quickie
notable for the acting appearance by underground legend Jim
VanBebber as a south of the border Satanist on the run. Otherwise
this is a standard slasher fare, with Michele Bauer and her
boobs. But you gotta love that! (B+)
*DEMON RAGE AKA SATAN'S MISTRESS- Possessed
housewife with the largest nipples in horror history! (B)
THE DEMONS - Uncut, UPGRADE!- Jess Franco's
Nuns-go-nuts sexploiter has a randy demon boinking Nuns who
are "just asking for love". One of the crazy old
man's better outings if you ask me. But you didn't, so buy
it for yourself! (B-)
*DEMONOID – Possessed hand horror
from the early eighties. I’m sure there are millions
of us that have fond memories seeing this on Commander USA’s
Groovy movies! Goofy fun! (A-)
THE DEVIL (1986) - In English!- Truly insane
Chinese bug barfing, black magic horror extravaganza. See
these loons stuff REAL worms, maggots snakes etc. into their
mouths and puke them up while having epileptic fits brought
on by Black Magic! Great stuff! (B)
*DEVIL STORY – Really weird Italian
gore film about a mutant helping his psycho mother resurrect
a bloodthirsty Mummy. Very splatterific. (C)
THE DEVIL’S – UNCUT, LTBX –
The Most Complete print of Ken Russell’s best film from
British broadcast. (B+)
*DEVIL'S HONEY - Lucio Fulci's erotic thriller
that was edited to shit in the USA. Here it is uncut! (B+)
DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE - Uncut. Ltbx (A+))
DIAL D FOR DEMONS - LTBX, SUBTITLED - RED
TO KILL director Billy Tang lightens up a bit for this monster/horror/comedy
that hits all the right notes. Check it out! (A)
*THE DIVINE ENFORCER - Oh YEAH! Now this
is great trash baby! Get ready for this bad acting banquet
of cult stars and forgotten TV has-beens in the most outrageous
storyline in years! This is about a renegade Priest who is
killing the bad people he hears about in confession! He kills
them with Kung Fu and crucifix throwing knives! Some forgettable
Kung Fu guy plays the lead character, but it is the supporting
cast that will knock your socks off! Eric Estrada and Jan
Michael Vincent are the assistant priests! Judy Landers is
their sexy housekeeper in a tight Skirt! Robert Z'Dar and
Jim Brown are local drug dealers/gangsters that must be stopped!
And best of all DON STROUD is the main bad guy, a serial killer
based on Richard Chase, that is draining the blood from topless
babes and boiling their skulls for his collection! the only
element missing is Tony Danza in a monkey suit! You cannot
live without this ultra bad movie! It will complete your movie
collection the way a good woman completes your life! (B+)
*DR. BLACK AND MR. HYDE – Mr. Hyde
takes no jive, if you get on his bad side you won’t
be alive! Absolute classic blaxsploitation monster mash with
good effects by Stan Winston. Bernie Casey is the doctor who
turns into a monster WHITE MAN Mr. Hyde. Truly great stuff
and one of my personal faves! (A)
*DR. JECKLE & HIS WOMEN – AKA
BLOODLUST AKA DR. JECKYL AND MS. OSBORNE – LTBX, SUBTITLED,
FOGGED, FRANCE – Walarian Borozyk’s amazing film
breaks all the rules and redefines this classic tale. Hyde
is a superhuman with a foot long pointed phallus and willing
to put it to work on either sex. With Udo Kier as Jeckyl (but
not Hyde.) A masterpiece. THis version is cut but is the the
longest version in existence.You have to be 21 to order! (C)
*DR. LAMB – LTBX, SUBTITLED CHINA, UNCUT COMPOSITE
PRINT– Intense, brutal, ugly serial killer
tale starring Simon Yam as sicko necrophile with a penchant
for "dirty" girls. He also likes to hide body parts
all over his house and take pictures of his exploits. If HENRY
was directed by a sleazy Hong Kong director it would look
like this. Pretty amazing all in all. Better be 21 to order.
(B)
DRIVE IN MASSACRE - Late Seventies Slasher
is surprisingly meanspirited and has some shocking moments
of blood spurting gore. The early decapitation is a highlight.
Is the killer the psycho owner of the Drive in, the pissed
off projectionist, or the retarded but lovable Clean up guy?
Does it matter? Includes trailer! (B+)
*EBOLA SYNDROME – UNCUT, SUBTITLED, LTBX HONG
KONG– Man is there something wrong with Anthony
Wong or what? This is probably the sickest movie he’s
been in and that is saying a lot! A sexual Psychopath rapes
a woman with the Ebola Virus and unwittingly spreads it across
China on a rape spree. The starts killing people and putting
their infected flesh into meat products and feeding it to
the public! SICK, SICK, SICK! Recently upgraded! (A+)
ELVES (1997) - Incredibly silly holiday
horror about evil elves trying to inpregnate some chick and
Nazi experiments going bad. Totally insane American trash
has been overlooked for far too long! (A-)
*ETERNAL EVIL OF ASIA – LTBX, SUBTITLED
– Over the top category 3 demons, gore and sex mayhem.
A classic of its type. (B+)
*ETOILE – LTBX ITALY– Jennifer
Connelly (whom I've had a mad crush on since I was 14 years
old!) stars in this tame but entertaining Italian ghost story
directed by Peter Delmonte. More atmosphere than anything
else but worth your time nonetheless, especially if you’re
a fan of the divine young star. (A)
*EVIL DEAD TRAP 3: A MUTILATION FOR A TENDER LOVE-
SUBTITLED, LTBX, JAPAN – Not as good as the
first two but a fine film all the same. More of an Argento
styled murder mystery than the first two supernatural happenings.
Many limbless torsos and sexual couplings take you through
this complex and challenging thriller. (A-)
EYES OF FIRE – Bizarre civil war era
horror film about southern witches. Gothic and surreal, with
scenes such as a rainstorm of skulls. Kind of a quite horror
film, but haunting just the same. (A-)
*GALAXY OF TERROR -(Recently UPGRADED!)
James Cameron probably doesn’t put this on his resume
anymore (he art directed). Sort of an ALIEN rip off with huge
helpings of the haunted house genre thrown in. Major gore
highlights this fun film. With Robert England and Erin Morhan
(Joannie from Happy Days gets fucked by a giant Maggot!).
The Recent EVENT HORIZON ripped this off almost directly!
(A)
GERMAN CHAINSAW MASSACRE – SUBTITLES LTBX GERMANY
- Nasty and bizarre neo-political bloodbath. The movie is
really just about the fears in the aftermath of the falling
of the Berlin wall. But spiced up with Knife blade enemas,
chainsaw dismemberment, and mucho bloodshed. Not so much a
good movie as a psychotic one. With Udo Kier as on of the
cannibal family who sets his own head on fire and chops off
his hand. Weird. Kinda crappy print too. (D)
GHOSTLY VIXEN - Subtitled, Ltbx - Rare Hong
Kong action, comedy, fantasy about a Succubus (Played by super
busty Amy Yip) who must suck the life force from 100 Virgin
Males to become immortal. Pretty silly sex comedy has lots
of cleavage, boob jokes and did I mention AMY YIP! (B)
*GOKE! BODYSNATCHER FROM HELL - LTBX, UPGRADE -
Good quality letterboxed version of this great Japanese monster
mash. See slimy white ooze crawl in the foreheads of unlucky
survivors of a plane crash! A classic of Japanese monster
mayhem! (B+)
*GUTS OF A VIRGIN 3: RUSTED BODY – AKA FEMALE
INQUISITOR , SUBTITLED, LTBX – Incredible sex
film from GAIRA the master of dark erotica in Japan. This
episode focuses on a group of thieves who sexually entice
and torture their captives into giving up the money. The ringleader
is a lovely huge breasted womanwho is the sexiest export I
have yet to see from Japan! Perfect quality print to boot!
Much more fun the first two entries in the series. Click HERE
for a review of this movie. (A+)
HALLOWEEN 6: PRODUCER'S CUT - Much longer
and different version of the much maligned (and deservedly
so) HALLOWEEN sequel. Not half bad, I suppose. (B-)
HAUNTED COP SHOP – SUBTITLED –
An early entry into the demon fighting sub genre of the Hong
Kong Horror film. Possibly the only film were someone is saved
by pissing! (B+)
*HOLY VIRGIN VS. THE EVIL DEAD - SUBTITLED, LTBX,
UNUCT CHINA - Absolutely insane Indonesian/Chinese
horror fantasy. Far to complicated to capsulate. Overflowing
with possessions, violence, nude babes and witchcraft. (A)
*HORRIBLE HIGH HEELS –(RECENTLY UPGRADED)LTBX,
SUBTITLED, HONG KONG – Really vile tale of
a group of criminals using human hides to make designer shoes!
Category 3 at is nastiest! (A-)
*HUMAN PORK CHOP – SUBTITLED, LTBX, HONG KONG
– Very sick true to life tale of a group of meth addicted
scum who kidnap a prostitute holding her captive for months,
torturing her in the most brutal and ugly was. Eventually
she dies and they eat her! Very brutal and for the most jaded!
(A+)
*HUNTER’S BLOOD (1987) - Kim Delany
stars as a young lass that ends up the object of desire for
a local clan of inbred hillbillies looking for some loving
and killing but maybe not in that order! There is some nice
suspense and bloodshed in this tense DELIVERANCE like thriller.
For the Hillbilly terrorist completists. (A-)
*I DISMEMBER MAMA - Much dissed slasher
from the late seventies actually has a pretty sick streak
that keeps it afloat and running. Ultra sick and with a solid
lead performance, this one is a keeper. Great title too! (A-)
*IMPULSE (1975) - How can you not LOVE William
Shatner? In this William Grefe' production he play's a Mommy
obsessed psychopath, wearing obnoxious leisure suits that
had to be loud even in 1975. He is trying to weasel his way
into the life of a recent widower whose little daughter knows
what's up with Capt. Kirk's killing tirades. Look for Oddjob
from GOLDFINGER in a cameo. The open credits alone in this
are so hysterical its worth the cash! (A-)
*INSANITY - SUBTITLED HONG KONG- Simon "laughing
boy" Yam stars as the psycho who is convinced this lone,
pregnant woman is his long dead wife. The majority of the
movie is the invading of her home and tormenting her, while
killing everyone whom gets in the way. Try it on a double
bill with HOUSE BY THE EDGE OF THE PARK! (B+)
*INVITATION TO HELL - British Horror/devil
worshipping movie that features some pretty need creature
effects a loads of gore! The finale crucifixion is a highlight!
very short. (B)
THE ISLE - Ltbx, Subtitled - Incredible
Korean thriller that is very disturbing. Very similar in tone
to AUDITION. A man on the run rents a floating shack on a
fishing lake run by a mute woman who has some real intimacy
issues. The scenes involving swallowing and masturbating with
fishhooks will make even the most jaded give up! A very fine
film! (A-)
*IT! Roddy Mcdowell stars in the sixties
monster mash about a pointy headed Golem. (B-)
*IT CAME - Really weird little horror/gore
flick from the late eighties direct to video boom. A porno
editing place called Throbbing Video accidentally taps into
an alien lifeforce through the phone lines. The force possesses
the employees causing them to go all Jack Nicholson on people's
asses! Lots of power drill carnage, spurting blood, violence,
bad acting and in jokes. Try it, you may like it. I kinda
did! (B+)
JOYS OF TORTURE 2: OXEN SPLIT TORTURING (LTBX, SUBS)
- Sequel in name only to the infamous and nasty JOYS OF TORTURE
in which all manner of historical torture and executions are
matted out to those who were unwitting enough to get caught.
Filled with over the top gore and violence that is simply
unrivaled in any western cinema including people drawn and
quarted, chopped in half and oodles of sexual violence. This
is a non stop barrage of brutality and supposedly a pretty
accurate look at the budo era of Japan. Pretty scary shit
indeed. (B+)
*THE KEEP - LTBX - Michael Mann’s
much underrated supernatural thriller is here for the first
time on tape letterboxed. Get and reassess it. I think you’ll
be surprised how good it actually is. (A+)
*THE KILLING OF SATAN – INDONESIA-
Peter Tombs recent book MONDO MACABRO (if you haven’t
read it, stop now and go buy it) praises this Indonesian oddity
to the heavens. A very unique and effective tale of devil
worship and reincarnation of the beast. Steeped in local legend
and lore this is an amazing and offbeat movie. Click HERE
for a review of this movie. (A-)
*LAS VEGAS BLOODBATH – Shot on video
gore movie about a nutjob slaughtering strippers. Original
huh? Includes the nasty fetus ripping scene and load so other
nastiness. For such a low budget the effects are surprisingly
good.
THE LAST FRANKENSTEIN - SUBTITLED, LTBX, JAPAN
- Absolutely stunning modern rethinking of the Frankenstein
mythos. As if the Cohen Brother’s made a Japanese horror
film is the only way to describe this. Many consider this
to be among the best Japanese horror films ever. (B)
LEGEND OF BLOOD CASTLE – English language
print of Gorge Grau’s take on the Elizabeth Bathory
legend. Atmospheric and pretty good. (C+)
*LEGEND OF SPIDER FORREST - Hell, I haven’t
watched it yet! It looks pretty creepy though. (B)
THE LION THE LEOPARD AND THE WOLF - AKA BLOODLUST,
S.O.V. AUSTRAILIA - Pretty fucking bad Australian
Vampire action film. Lots of blood but the bad acting and
schizo tone crash it at every turn. Though the soundtrack
with Revolting Cocks and 1000 Homo DJ’s is good. Oh
yeah the blond vampire has great breasts. (A)
*LUNCHMEAT (1988) - Full on gorefest from
the late eighties is best remembered for the outrageous boxart
of a fat, balding redneck eating a severed arm. Oddly enough
the movie ain't half bad either! If you like mutant, cannibal
redneck backwoods buffoonery! And hell who doesn't! (B+)
*MACUMBA LOVE - June Wilkenson stars in
this 60's Voodoo movie with her very brief nude scene intact.
(B-)
*MANSON MASSACRE (1972) - NO ENGLISH - The
rarest of the Manson inspired flicks is ultra sleazy and loose
with the facts. Our print has no English but is in really
good quality! (A-)
MARK OF THE DEVIL 2 - UNCUT SPAIN - Even
more disturbing and sick sequel to the cult smash original.
This one more than earns it’s "V" for violence
rating. (C)
*MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH – Mid-seventies
teen angst that definitely influenced the creators of HEATHERS.
A kid is crippled in a prank gone wrong and takes to setting
the score right by offing the jock scum-fucks responsible.
Once the power elite of the school is gone a new anarchy begins
to reign leading to more violence and bloodshed. This movie
would NEVER be made in today’s environment of school
safety and crying parents. In fact you’d be damn lucky
to find this at all anymore! (B-)
MAYA – LTBX – Honestly I have
yet to watch this, but it looks really good! (A-)
MEAT CLEVER MASSACRE (1977) - Sort of THE
OMEN meets a slasher film by way of DEATH WISH. A student
mocks the lecture of one of his professors causing the doc
to humiliate the little fuck in front of the whole College.
So he uses his supernatural voodoo to put the whammy on the
teacher thus setting in motion a whole chain of gory murders.
Pretty wacky, with a cameo by the then whoring himself Christopher
Lee. (B)
MEN BEHIND THE SUN - SUBTITLED & UPGRADED! CHINA-
Sick, no revolting, retelling of Manchu Squadron 731’s
experiments on the Chinese during WW2. Once again for the
most hardened of tastes only. (A+)
*MICROWAVE MASSACRE (1981) - Horror comedy
about a dude who accidentally kills his wife. He stuffs her
chopped up corpse in the freezer for safe keeping. One night
he sleepily plunders the freezer for a snack and eats her
flesh! From then on he is hooked! (B)
*MR. FROST – ITALY- Jeff Goldblume
stars as old scratch himself, or is he? Very effective take
on the Satan mythos, setting it all within a very realistic
meillue of an insane asylum. One of those lost movies that
everyone should see. (A)
MONSTER HUNTER – AKA ABSURD AKA ANTROPAGHAGUS
2, UNCUT ITALY– Joe D’Amata’s gore-tastic
sequel to the splatter filled original. Behemoth George Eastman
once again stars as the monster. This time out he escapes
from a hospital to go on a bloody rampage. Most horrifying
is the woman with mega hairy armpits, Yechhhh! I do have my
limits! Plus hot as hell Annie Bell is in it! (B+)
MY LOVELY BURNT BROTHER AND SQUASHED BRAIN –
SUBTITLED, ITALY – Okay this movie sucks, and
the producer even comes on screen and says so. Why this has
remained a cult item in the underground is beyond me. But
it’s here for all you masochists out there. (D)
MY SOUL IS SLASHED – SUBTITLED, LTBX, JAPAN
– Incredible Japanese rethinking of Vampire legends,
pitting the bloodsuckers within a crumbling family unit. From
the creators of the equally amazing THE LAST FRANKENSTEIN.
(B-)
NAKED MASSACRE - Trashy flick loosely based
on the Richard Speck Murders. (B+)
NERO – SUBTITLED, LTBX, ITALY –
Pretty insane and great GIALLO from the creators of the DYLAN
DOG comic (also responsible for DELLAMORTE/DELLAMORE’s
source material). Most notable for the intense atmosphere
and incredible camerawork comparable to Argento. (B)
NIGHT ANGEL – Unique splatter film
on the Lillith myth (you know Adam's first and more evil wife
in the Garden of Eden). Mucho skin and bloodshed about, as
well as a pretty good story to boot. Loads of funs. (A)
*NIGHT OF THE STRANGLER (1975) - Mickey
Dolenz (!) stars in the racial hate movie about a black dude
who is killed for being with Dolenz honkey sister. The dude's
brother (a priest) comes to town to exact revenge but someone
else is wondering around slaughtering the (deserving) locals.
A lost cult classic! Did I mention it stars Mickey FUCKING
DOLENZ! (B+)
NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES – Joel Reed (Bloodsucking
Freaks) tried his hand at a zombie flick and came up with
this rather dull entry. Featuring Jamie Gillis. (B+)
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT – Another classic
Giallo that I haven’t watched yet! (A-)
*THE NIGHT PORTER – LTBX, UNCUT GREAT BRITAIN–
Sick fucking relationship drama about a Jewish woman who had
a sadomasochistic relationship with a guard in the WW2 prison
camp. Jump ahead twenty years and they both are part of integrated
society and meet again. They hide in a hotel room and relive
their past together. No gore but more psychological violence
than most can stand. Brilliantly made, and disgusting as hell.
Gotta 21 to order! (A+)
*NOCTURNA: GRANDDAUGHTER OF DRACULA - Disco
Era vampire flick is an absolute scream! A total acid flashback
to the late seventies leisure suits and bad dancing, with
all the Vampire action SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER was missing! (B-)
*NOSTRIL PICKER – British bad taste
gore movie about a booger picken spaz who finds a way to turn
into a girl at will. So he enrolls in high school to ogle
the nubile flesh. But the spell starts driving him batty causing
him to kill, kill, kill! (B)
*THE OCCULTIST - Very weird eighties horror
film, sold as a comedy but deals in Satanism and witchcraft.
(A-)
*PAGANINI HORROR - Luigi Cozzi's take on
the murderous antics of the famous nutso composer. Gory and
fun! (B+)
*PEEPING TOM (1997)- SUBTITLED, LTBX - Lean,
mean, nasty Category three sex thriller about a tasty little
wildcat of a woman who gets kidnapped by a lust driven peeping
tom. The rest of the movie is his torture of her and her attempts
to outwit him. No social commentary here, just a parade of
misogynistic brutality that you have come to expect from Cat
3 movies. Good stuff! (B+)
*PIGS – Another of those wonderful
70’s rural drive in horror flicks. Pretty gory and actually
a lot of fun. Crazy old fart kills someone and feeds him to
his pigs. Soon a lovely young lady with a castration complex
takes up board at his café and is slaughtering all
comers, and feeding them to the pigs. Theses are some well-fed
pigs let me tell you. Click HERE
for a review of this movie. (B-)
PLAYGIRL KILLER – Late 60’s
exploitation sleaze starring the lead guy from COLOR ME BLOOD
RED in a very similar roll. Here he is an insane artist who
kills "rude" women who wont stand still for him
to paint! Has some great nightmare images that are so good
they feel like their from another movie! (A)
POSSESSED - SUBTITLED - Ultra weird Hong
Kong possession flick. Doesn't spare the sauce either. (B)
POSSESSED 2 -SUBTITLED Sequel to
the splatterriffic Hong Kong flick. (B)
*PSYCHO FROM TEXAS - Aren't most of 'em!
He's not an oil baron either! Very gritty seventies drive
in psychodrama about a hitman set to off a rich dude, but
becomes smitten with his soon to be married daughter. This
leads to much killing and double crosses! Good gritty stuff
with the unmistakable nastiness only 70's drive in fair offered.
(B)
*THE PSYCHOPATH – A kid show host
snaps and starts going after parents that abuse their kids.
Roundly praised for the powerful lead performance. (B)
RAPE!- LTBX, SUBTITLED- Yet another Japanese
rough sex, horror classic from the director of ASSAULT JACK
THE RIPPER. This one tells the lurid tale of a woman who gets
raped and because of the trauma ends up seeking out ever escalating
levels of violent sex in her life. A fucking ugly, but fascinating
portrait of madness. (B)
*THE RAPE AFTER – SUBTITLED CHINA
– SICK SICK SICK! Ghost of a past abortion haunts a
Chinese community causing all kinds of disgusting happenings.
From the director of the equally grotesque BLACK MAGIC films.
Did I mention how sick this movie is? (B-)
*RAPED BY AN ANGEL – UNCUT, SUBTITLED &
LTBX HONG KONG– Follow up to the ecstatic NAKED
KILLER with primarily the same cast, but with a new rape/revenge
plot. This is one repellent movie. Print is missing some footage
during the rape scene, but I have never seen a copy that wasn't.
You have to be 21 to order! (A+)
*THE REDEEMER –AKA CLASS REUNION MASSACRE,
SON OF SATAN - Really fun little regional horror
film about a man who is visited by the REDEEMER, a spirit
of a little demon boy with an extra finger that makes the
man go about taking revenge on those who wronged him as a
child. (B)
*THE REFLECTING SKIN – Big budget,
studio backed British film is a twisted slice of rural life.
Told from the point of view of a child who realizes that life
is fucked up and can make your crazy. With exploding frogs,
Child-molesting Street gangs, mummified dead babies and the
radiation scarred reflecting skin of the title. This is a
haunting and debilitating film. (A+)
RESURRECTION OF MICHAEL MYERS PT2– NO ENGLISH
– Outstanding fan produced, Dutch splatterfest that
has all the popular killers trying to off one another! In
many ways far better than any of the official sequels to these
flicks! Only 45 Minutes long so the tape has some extra stuff
to fill it out like Peter Jackson behind the scenes on Meet
The Feebles. (C)
*RITUAL OF DEATH – South American
splatter that matters. A really gory tale of an acting troupe
that runs afoul of a ring of Devil Worshipers! Directed by
non cult director Fauzi Mansuer who also directed the equally
splatterful SATANIC ATTRACTION. (B+)
*SATANIC ATTRACTION – Fauzi Mansuer’s
ultra gory follow up to his RITUAL OF DEATH. A cult murderer
is slashing and hacking to get body parts for a blood ceremony.
A radio show keeps count. You’ll be grossed out. (A-)
SAVAGE WEEKEND (1976) - Truly twisted little
sickie has our favorite backwoods psycho William "Newhart"
Sanderson roaming the woods with a chainsaw! Two couples (the
women are quite attractive I might add, and willing to shed
their clothes at the drop of a hat!) and their gay buddy shack
up in the woods to help Sanderson finish building the family
boat(?!) Someone starts carving them up one by one while everyone
tries to fuck each other. A sick highlight has the brutish
(but irresistible?) farmhand trying to seduce the main character's
wife by milking a cow! "Ever tasted if fresh?" A
whole sequence has a lovely lass running around in very sexy
lingerie only to get tied to a table top Buzzsaw (tied with
barbed wire no less!). This movie is sick! See it! Plus the
Gay Guy is a karate expert! Now top that! (B)
*SEEDING OF A GHOST – LTBX SUBTITLED, UNCUT,
CHINA – Possibly the sickest of all the Hong
Kong Black Magic films. I can’t even begin to go into
all the madness in this film. Its wall to wall, balls out
splatter insanity. (A+)
SEIZURE – Oliver Stones debut feature
film with Martine Beswick, and Herve Villecheze. Surreal,
plastic realities horror. (B+)
THE SEVENTH CURSE – SUBTITLED, UNCUT, CHINA
– Uniquely twisted horror/Kung Fu hybrid, with teens
fighting ghosts corpse and assorted monsters. From the director
of A CHINESE GHOST STORY; also features a small roll by CHOW
YUN FAT! (B-)
SKIN STRIPPERESS - LTBX, SUBTITLED - Totally
insane Hong Kong horror about an actress who accidentally
gets her face charred off, so she sets about skinning some
young sluts to get her pretty skin back! (B)
*SLEEPLESS – LTBX – Uncut, letterboxed
version of Dario Argento’s 2001 giallo. Very well done
and atmospheric with gobs of intense gore. (B)
*THE SNAKE QUEEN – Wild Indonesian
action/horror about the south seas snake queen and how she
seduces men to their graves. Wildly creative with tons of
monsters, nudity and a guy eating a meal that turns into his
dead child’s remains! Great stuff! See it! (B+)
*THE SORCERERS -GREAT BRITAIN – Much
sought after second film from Michael Reeves the late director
of THE WITCHFINDER GENERAL AKA THE CONQUORER WORM. Stars Boris
Karloff in one of his best rolls of the sixties (next to TARGETS),
as an elderly sorcerer in inner city Britain. (A)
*THE SPIDER LABYRINTH – SUBTITLED, LTBX, ITALY
– Amazing horror movie about a secluded spider worshipping
cult and the poor anthropologist who stumbles on them. Some
great effects by Sergio Stivaletti, and great atmosphere to
boot. A truly good movie. (B)
*STANLEY - 70's killer snake from trash
master William Gefe' (DEATH CURSE OF TARTU) is a real hoot!
(B+)
*SUGAR HILL (AND HER ZOMBIE HIT MEN) –
Another classic fright fest from the black is beautiful seventies.
Voodoo mama goes for the revenge waltz with her zombie minons
kicking whitey’s ass from here to Mississippi! (A)
TOWER OF SCREAMING VIRGINS – Oh yeah,
you know you want it Crazy Euro trash with lots of nekkid
babes and wanton violence. (B-)
*THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN- LTBX –
Seminal regional horror quickie about the psycho of Texarkana
in the 50’s. Surprisingly graphic and realistic portrayal
of a town gripped by fear. (A)
*TOUCH OF SATAN – Another Texas quickie
about a witch on a farm and the drifter who falls for her.
Some effective gore, and plenty of atmosphere. (B+)
TRICK OR TREATS (1982) - Most remembered
for its continual running on the USA network usually as part
of COMMANDER USA’s GROOVY MOVIES, this low rent slasher
film is considered to be among the WORST ever made. And you
know what? It IS! Some obnoxious little kid is being babysat
while a killer stalks the neighborhood, while the viewer waits
patiently for the kid to get bumped off and relieve us of
our misery! Do you really want to see this? Of course you
do! (B+)
*TROUBLE EVERY DAY (2002) - LTBX - Really
oddball drama about cannibalism as a metaphor for sexual lust.
With some really disturbing scenes of a man being eaten alive
during sex and a woman having her vagina chewed out. Stars
Vincent Gallo and Beatrice Dalle. An arty, depression piece,
not unlike Cronenberg's CRASH. (A-)
*THE ULTIMATE HARDGORE SPLATTER TAPE- Home
made (By me actually), but professionally edited compilation
tape of the hardest gore scenes cut to the hardest industrial
rock and roll. You get clips from MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY, NIGHTMARE,
EYES OF FIRE, ILSA TIGRESS OF SIBERIA, LADY TERMINATOR, CRASH,
STORY OF RIKKI and a whole shitload of others. With music
from THE MISFITS, MINISTRY, TOOL, FAITH NO MORE, CONTROLLED
BLEEDING, CHRIST ANALOGUE, PIG and a whole bunch of others
great stuff. A GREAT party tape! (B+)
THE UNDERGROUND BANKER – SUBTITLED, UNCUT,
HONG KONG – Silly, yet violent spoof on the
Category 3 films of Hong Kong. With Anthony "I’ll
do anything" Wong as a man in deep to the Triads. He
enlists his neighbor, the recently rehabilitated Dr. lamb,
to help him fight the thugs after the have raped and murdered
his wife and burned his child to a crisp. Believe it or not,
played for laughs. (B+)
UNDERGROUND TERROR – Rather lame movie
about a gang of Homeless people murdering people in New York.
The story has potential though. (B-)
UNMASKED PART 25 – Silly horror spoof
about a lonely masked deformed killer who falls for a sexy
blind S+M freak. Much sex and gore and very pointed, if immature,
satire. (B+)
*UNTOLD STORY - LTBX, SUBTITLED, UNCUT -
Anthony Wong won awards as the cannibal psycho in this infamous
Hong Kong Category 3 nasty! (A)
*UNTOLD STORY 2 - LTBX, SUBTITLED - Anthony
Wong returns, but this time as a cop sniffing out a female
killer who may be cooking up her competition at the local
rib joint! Not as gruesome as the first one, but then, how
could it be?! (A)
*VICIOUS – Very violent Australian
potboiler about a bored yuppie teen who falls in with a vicious
band of thugs. The force him along on their murder and theft
spree that ends at his girlfriends family’s house. This
is home invasion terror at the very best. (A)
*VIOLATED ANGELS - UPGRADE !!!!!!!! B/W SUBTITLED,
LTBX, UNCUT, JAPAN – Another personal favorite.
This films tells the unflinching story of the Richard Speck
murders in an artistic and haunting Manner, without ever losing
the "you are there" documentary feel. This is as
harrowing and unforgettable as any film you’re likely
to see. Click HERE
for a review of this movie. (A-)
VIOLENT BLOODBATH – Pretty tame Gorge
Grau Giallo styled who dunnit. (C+)
THE WIERDO – More Andy Milligan bloodshed.
Everyone abuses a town retard until he starts killing the
local, and making himself happy. He then falls in love with
a girl of equal challenge, causing him plenty of moral dilemmas.
Maybe Milligan’s best horror film, but what is that
saying? (B+)
*WHITE OF THE EYE –LTBX Intense thriller
from the late (and much missed) Donald Cammell about a serial
killer in a small Arizona town. Many scenes are stylish as
hell and will remind you of vintage Argento. The drowning
scene where the killer forces the victim to watcher self die
in a mirror is especially harrowing. An excellent and unfortunately
forgotten film. (A)
WICKED WICKED - The only film shot in DUO-VISION.
This split screen thriller is from TV broadcast and is now
in the perfect WIDESCREEN DUO VISION!!!! (A)
*WITCHCRAFT VS. CURSE – SUBTITLED, CHINA
– Twisted sex and sorcery tale with the usual elements.
Long showers, bugs, pus and bloodshed. Pretty goofy, but pretty
entertaining too! (B+)
THE WITCHING - Orson Wells leads a devil
cult found of making bacon in big orgiastic heaps. (B+)
