Undead: Dir. Michael Spierig & Peter Spierig. A storm of alien meteorites descends on the outback and leads to the zombification of most of the glum citizens of small fishing community. A couple of cops, a crazy survivalist and a girl who's been voted 'Miss Catch of the Day' fight them off with much decapitation, lopping of limbs and exploding bodies. This film looks surprisingly slick considering it was made for peanuts by the Spierig twins from New Zealand, the computer effects especially, considering they were done on a home computer. Good fun if not overly derivative. Widescreen. (2003)

Bumfights: Cause for Concern: Vol. 1: Banned in the UK for a video release. BBFC justifies this with the following statement: Bumfights - Cause for Concern consists substantially of camcorder footage of homeless people ('bums') being abused, assaulted, and humiliated. These scenes are intercut with footage of street brawls and soft pornography. Under the Video Recordings Act 1984 the Board must have special regard to any harm to those likely to view a video and to any harm to society through the behaviour of those viewers afterwards. The Act singles out particular elements as being potentially harmful including criminal behaviour and violent behaviour or incidents. The BBFC guidelines for '18' rated works state that the Board may "cut or reject... any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts which is likely to promote the activity" (page 16). The Board's guidelines for violence also state as particular concerns "callousness towards victims, encouraging aggressive attitudes[and] taking pleasure in pain and humiliation" (page 9). In the Board's view, the video breaches these guidelines by exploiting the physical and other vulnerabilities of homeless people. The Board considered the possibility of cuts. However, given the extent of the unacceptable material, cuts were not considered a viable option on this occasion. (2002)

MPD Psycho: Vol. 1 and 2: Tajuu jinkaku tantei saiko - Amamiya Kazuhiko no kikan. Dir. Takeshi Miike. A typically crazy TV mini series from Miike. Widescreen subtitled. (2000)

2LDK: Dir. Yukihiko Tsutsumi. This is the companion piece to Kitamura's Aragami made using the same principals... 2 actors, 1 location and 1 fight. Nozomi is a college graduate, in the big city of Tokyo for the first time. She hopes to parlay her high school stage experience into a career as a genuine actress. So far, she has merely functioned as a country girl pin-up, the symbol of a naive young virgin. Lana is a seasoned pro, having spent time performing in movies that are far from legitimate. Hoping to leave her horrible past behind and start anew in Japan's metropolis, she has only managed to secure her reputation as a sexually indiscriminate woman. These two ladies share a condominium owned by the talent agency they work for, and for a while, things appear to be working out. While Nozomi's shy reserve has a tendency to drive Lana nuts, the party girl is also a pain in her introverted roommate's behind. As luck would have it, both girls are up for the lead role in a major motion picture, Yakuza Wives, and each is also interested in the same man. When a casual conversation over dinner escalates into an all out battle of wills, the gals decide there is more to this war than who gets the part or who lands the guy. This is a struggle for personality survival, and our ferocious female fighters will duel to the death to determine who is supreme mistress of their 2LDK (two bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen) domain. Widescreen subtitled. (2003)

Atrocidades: Dir. Unknown. Japanese Death Files of carnage in the same vein as faces, traces, facez of Death etc... threre are. Concentrating on the Japanese Death Toll this is a Brazillian import containing Portuguese subtitles. If you've heard of Death file Yellow, Death file black etc, then this is a compilation of them all. Enjoy. (1992)

Black Cat: aka. Out of the Depths - Demons 6. Dir. Luigi Cozzi. This is Luigi Cozzi's "The Black Cat" and not the Fulci one by the same name.

Libido: Dir. Ernesto Gastaldi & Vittorio Salerno. As a young child Christian suffered a traumatic experience that has scared his psyche forever. His father, a sexual deviant, set up his bedroom with mirrors on the walls and chains on the bed. One evening things get out of control as Christian sees his father murder his mistress while she is chained to the bed. Soon after his father is believed to have thrown himself from a cliff. Twenty years have gone by. Christian and his wife return to the villa along with his attorney Paul, and his sexy wife Brigitte. Soon Christian begins to feel there is someone else in the villa. Someone who he begins to believe is his father. Torn between terror and the suspicion that someone is trying to trick him for his large inheritance Paul’s grip on reality is fading. Soon Paul’s wife is found dead and Paul becomes totally insane. One of the most famous of the early Italian thrillers or giallo films and the first film directed by one of Italy’s premier writers of the giallo Ernesto Gastaldi. Gastaldi, best know for penning such classics as THE HORRIBLE DR. HITCHCOCK, THE WHIP AND THE BODY and TORSO took on the directors chores as result of a bet proving that a well written story is more important then technical ability. Among the cast is famed Italian actor Giancarlo Giannini in his first film, Luciano Pigozzi, who under the pseudonym Alan Colins is very familiar to fans of Euro cinema, and Mara Maryl, the real wife of Gastaldi, plays the sexy Brigitte. Fantastic early Giallo. Fullscreen Black & White Italian language no subtitles. (1965)

Parties Fines: Education of the Baroness. Dir. Gérard Kikoïne. The story is about a baron and a baroness who have a weekend of Pleasure. The prudish baroness played by Brigitte Lahaie gives a believable performance. When the Baron leaves for the weekend a couple of charming thugs come to play with the baroness and maid all well directed and erotic. Meanwhile the baron on his adventure takes advantage of a woman who's car has broken down. He later gets taught some lessons from another woman with a whip. This movie is a classic and well worth a look. Great Brigitte Lahaie vintage XXX. Widescreen English (1977)
 

Black Belly of the Tarantula: La Tarantola dal ventre nero. Dir. Paolo Cavara. Inspector Tellini investigates serial crimes where victims are paralyzed while having their bellies ripped open with a sharp knife, much in the same way tarantulas are killed by the black wasp. As suspects keep dying, Inspector directs his attention to a spa all the victims had a connection with. A fantastically rare Giallo from the co-director of Mondo Cane, never available in English and only subtitled in an awful VSoM print. This version has the quality of the Spanish DVD with added English subtitles. An amazing and very rarely seen Gaillo. Italian language with English subtitles. (1971)

A Lizard in a Woman's Skin: Una Lucertola con la pelle di donna - Schizoid. Dir. Lucio Fulci. Fully Uncut version. Brazilian beauty Florinda Bolkan (DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING) stars as Carol Hammond, a woman fearing she has lost her mind. Despite the repeated assurance of her psychiatrist Dr. Kerr (George Rigaud), Carol finds it quite difficult to shake her recurring nightmares of perversity and horror. Things take a dramatic turn for the worse when Carol's latest nightmare- in which she stabs her disruptive, noisy hippie neighbor Julia (Anita Strindberg, a star of many giallos of this period)- becomes all too real. Carol is soon apprehended when some of her belongings (including a paper knife and a fur coat) have turned up missing, only to be found at the crime scene. But it wouldn't be a giallo if things were so simple. Contained in the increasingly complex latticework of the murder are an unfaithful husband (Jean Sorel), a murderous, psychotic hippie and an ugly case of blackmail involving a member of the Hammond family. As the investigation progresses, Carol's nightmares continue and more bodies pile up, until the true murderer is discovered. The greatest film of Fulci's Career (in my opinion) and probably one of the most important entries into the Giallo genre as a whole. Widescreen (1971)

Your Vice is a Locked Door and Only I Have the Key: Gently Before She Dies - Il Tuo vizio è una stanza chiusa e solo io ne ho la chiave. Dir. Sergio Martino. Fantastic Giallo from Sergio Martino  (Case of the Scorpion's Tail - All the Colours of the Dark) Starring the fabulous Edwige Fenech and Anita Strindberg. The great Luigi Pistilli stars as Oliviero Rouvigny, an alcoholic writer who mentally and physically torments his beautiful wife (Anita Strindberg) until a series of brutal murders start occurring. All clues point to Oliviero as the demented killer but he knows he is innocent… or he thinks he is. As the bloody bodies pile up Oliviero starts to believe he is going mad. The sexy Edwige Fenech soon turns up to spice things up.  Widescreen Subtitled (1972)

Murder to the Tune of Seven Black Notes: The Psychic - 7 note in nero. Dir. Lucio Fulci. Still relatively unknown Giallo from Fulci that is much underrated but very rarely seen. A newly married woman, who possesses psychic abilities, begins having strange visions upon moving into her new marital home. She sees visions of a woman being brutally killed and walled up inside the living room. Acting on her vision, she breaks open the wall and finds a skeleton.  Her husband becomes the prime suspect for the murder, whilst his wife and her therapist investigate the matter in order to clear his name. A superb Giallo from Fulci, maybe even one of his finest films! Widescreen (1977)

Murder in Paris: Bogeyman and the French Murders. Dir. Ferdinando Merighi. Francine,a prostitute working out of Madame Colettes high class brothel,is brutally murdered. It appears that Antoine,a local petty criminal known for his violent temper is the guilty party.He is duly captured and sentenced to death.He protests his innocence and vows revenge on the guilty party(who we have already seen escaping unnoticed from Francines murder scene). Antoine manages to escape from police custody(just before he was to be sent to the guillotine!!),but during his escape he is decapitated in a motor bike accident. Antoine's decapitated head is acquired by a Professor Waldemar who wants to perform some experiments on Antoines eyeballs to ascertain if he is indeed the murderer. The Professor is soon on the end of a gruesome throat slashing himself! - is it Antoine back from the grave exacting his revenge? Decent if not obscure Giallo with an all star cast, consisting of Barbara Bouchet, Rosalba Neri, Anita Ekberg among others. (1973)

Buppah Rahtree: Scent of the Night Flower. Dir. Yuthlert Sippapak. Buppah Rahtree (Chermarn Poonyasak) is a shy university student who has suffered sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather. Seduced by rich playboy Ake Dunrongsgup (Kris Srepoomseth) solely to win a cynical bet, Buppah finds herself quickly abandoned and even worse, pregnant. Feeling pangs of guilty remorse Ake begs Buppah for forgiveness - until he finds out about her pregnancy and quickly takes up his parents' offer to attend graduate school in England. Penniless, alone and living in a slum apartment owned by greedy landlady Mrs See who runs a spiritualist scam, Buppah commits a sad suicide when she's unable to pay the rent. It's after she returns from the dead as a horribly disfigured ghost to exact a terrible dismemberment revenge on all of those who have mistreated her that Scent of the Night Flower goes from deadly serious to seriously funny. Complete with a final sting in the tale, comic out-takes under the end credits, high-decibel dialogue and a tone that literally shrieks 'I'm here, I veer, get used to it', you won't have seen anything quite like Buppah Rahtree before. Thai Language without subtitles (very easy to understand) (2004)

Arahan: Dir. Ryoo Seung-Wan. starring Seung-beom Ryu as Sang-hwan, the mentally questionable hero of this big-budgeted CGI-heavy martial arts/action/comedy.

After being viciously beaten and humiliated by a local thug, Sang-hwan seeks out the training of Tao Master Ja-woon (Sung-kee Ahn) and his Seven Masters. Even though, as Sang-hwan points out, there are only five of them. Put into training, Sang-hwan proceeds to whine like a baby, begging to learn the art of Palm Blast in an obvious attempt to arm himself so he can avenge his beating. Meanwhile, Heug-un (Doo-hong Jung), an ancient enemy of the Seven Masters, has just been unwittingly unlocked from his prison and released back into the world, determined to rule it at the point of a sword. It's up to Sang-hwan, the man with the untapped reservoir of chi, to somehow put aside his moronic tendencies and stop trying to get into fellow cop, Eui-jin's pants long enough to save the world. God help us all. A superb and visually thrilling film. Widescreen subtitled (2004)
