Devil Hunter - Hunted, raped, and tormented out of her mind...
If you like "sleaze for the sake of sleaze" exploitation flicks then Jess Franco is a director delivered by angels. Another of Uncle Franco's entries in the DPP Video Nasty list is Devil Hunter (along with Bloody Moon and Women Behind Bars). Devil Hunter (also known as Sexo Canibal) is simply an exc...

Wasting Away - A new perspective on the zombie movie.
Wasting Away is one of the most originally creative and comical zombie movies that has blessed DVD since the Ancient Anglo Saxons created Shaun of the Dead. There are numerous reasons why this movie is beautiful and justice would not be done if each one was not given a couple of sentences of its own... Read More "Wasting Away"

Pig Hunt

Get muddy! Get bloody! Kill or be killed!

Pig Hunt - Get muddy! Get bloody! Kill or be killed!
What do you get if you cross a group of jocky city douche-bags on a lads hunting trip (with a girl), a gang of dirty hillbilly inbred rednecks and a pot smoking hippie commune that worships a giant pig? You get Pig Hunt. James Isaac (Jason X, Skinwalkers) delivers a creature feature delivered in the... Read More "Pig Hunt"

Necromentia

Hell Awaits The Foolish
Posted on 09/19/2009 by Pazuzu Iscariot
Necromentia - Hell Awaits The Foolish
For a craftily reverse-chronologically constructed horror movie about the temptations of hell, Necromentia, although not quite as inverted as Memento, manages to be an absorbing and fascinating fantasy with numerous loud shocks and more gore than you can shake a baby at. The story is obviously very ... Read More "Necromentia"

The Happiness Of The Katakuris (Katakuri-Ke No Kôfuku)

The hills are alive with the sound of screaming

The Happiness of the Katakuris - The hills are alive with the sound of screaming
It is a widely little known fact that, despite his reputation for cartoonishly character filled, violent and perverted movies, Takashi Miike is also a creator of children's films and a creator of period movies (as in the corset-cleavage filled movies set in a period of time... not the kind downloada...

Sympathy For Lady Vengeance (Chinjeolhan Geumjassi)

Lee Geum-Ja, have mercy on us...

Lady Vengeance - Lee Geum-Ja, have mercy on us...
Chan-wook Park's third and final (obviously) part of the Vengeance Trilogy is Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, sometimes known as just Lady Vengeance and always known as Chinjeolhan geumjassi. Once again we are presented with a cold, calculated and complex revenge scheme intricately planned over a lengt... Read More "Sympathy For Lady Vengeance (Chinjeolhan Geumjassi)"

Bloody Moon

So Sleazy it Needs No Tagline
Posted on 09/06/2009 by Pazuzu Iscariot
Bloody Moon - So Sleazy it Needs No Tagline
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...

Smash Cut

Lights... Camera... Body Parts
Posted on 09/04/2009 by Pazuzu Iscariot
Smash Cut - Lights... Camera... Body Parts
Lee Demarbre (director) and Ian Driscoll (writer) pay tribute to the gore-master and visionary of the splatter genre, Herschell Gordon Lewis, with Smash Cut. A low budget affair (which is no surprise if you have seen Demabrbre's cult horror works such as Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter) starring David H... Read More "Smash Cut"
