Bane tells the story of four women who, after being administered an injection, awake in a medical facility with no memory of who they are or why they are there. They are subjected to various cruel and unusual tests, but things get decidedly worse when a masked surgeon begins to visit them, carving n...

Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru) is a work of genius from Japanese director Fukasaku Kinji based on a novel by Takami Koshun. The originality of this movie is definately one of it's strong points. The movie was made in 2000 and paints a picture of a dark future in ruins where violence among Japan's y...

With the opening scene consisting of the hanging of a wheel-chaired coffin-dodger followed closely by the stabbing of the gentleman that set up the noose trap setting the scene for the longevity of most of the characters in this movie, it is a wonder that Mario Bava manages to develop any characters...

Lucio Fulci has definitely created an Italian zombie movie classic with The Beyond. This movie is much more than your traditional slow moving zombie flick and at this moment in time I would rate it as Fulci's best zombie movie.The movie begins in Louisiana, 1927, when a group of vigilantes break int...

The recent influx of horror remakes has led to a large number of disappointing horror experiences (mostly scanty J-Horror remakes). Director Glen Morgan (most renowned in the slasher world for his production and writing skills on Final Destination and Final Destination 3) has interrupted this trend ...

If Hugh Everett ever stumbled upon a parallel universe where Tiffany Ray had married Dolomite instead of Chucky then he would probably find that, on that universe's equivalent of Earth, Black Devil Doll would be the notorious gender-confused Glen/Glenda terrorising the masses. That would be an excep...

As the earliest movie on the video nasty list (1963) Blood Feast (also known as Feast of Flesh and Egyptian Blood Feast) is also surprisingly one of the most worthy. Although the movie is old and the effects are very unconvincing compared to many others in the list, the gore is quite extreme and the...

The title conjures up images of a vampire movie but, as with any Troma flick, you rarely get what you expect. Bloodsucking Freaks (aka The Incredible Torture Show) is not a trademark Troma slapstick comedy horror but an extremely depraved and embroidered exploitation flick that is not without it's v...

If you are a fan of unstylish German early-eighties retro slashers (and surely this is a dominant genetic trait nowadays) then you cannot possibly die until you have seen Jesus Franco's "almost" infamous video nasty Bloody Moon (Die Säge des Todes – "The Saw of Death") AKA Profonde Tenebre and The B...

Following 2005's heavily criticized Boogeyman (not to be confused with the 1980's Video Nasty The Boogeyman) comes 2008's aptly titled Boogeyman 2 to once again take a slashers eye view of terrified teen's greatest fears. As would be expected of a straight-to-DVD slasher movie, Boogeyman 2 fits into...

Another movie on the "Why the hell was this classed as a Video Nasty" list is Ulli Lommel's The Boogeyman. Admittedly The Boogeyman is a movie from 1980 and was probably quite extreme compared to UK Saturday evening TV but, compared to some of the cannibal movies and exploitation flicks on the DPP v...

If a movie has a bound and ceilingly suspended lady of the slutty persuasion receive a chainsaw to the spine before the opening credits then you can pretty much expect me to enjoy it. If a horror movie stars Jeffery Coombs and Michael Berryman then you can guarantee I will get a teensy bit excited. ...
