BEAUTIES AND THE BEAST

2008-07-12T08:37:00.001-07:00

DESPERATELY SEEKING YETI!

The movie opens with a weird narrator, who never appear again in the movie, who sits half obscured by bushes, crouching with binoculars, and tells us; “That the story we are about to see, could be real.” Welcome to the incredibly inept Bigfoot movie “Beauties and the Beast”. Our good friend Bigfoot is stomping around in the forest looking for women he can kidnap and bring to his nearby cave to do god knows what.

Okay, let me just pause here for a minute... I really don’t know how to describe the plot of this movie, there is nothing in this film that has anything to do with the rest of the film. There are some scenes in the beginning of Bigfoot kidnapping more nubile girls, some scenes of Uschi Digard arriving to a cabin with her friend. And some hippies popping up out of nowhere like so much else in the film. I’ve got a headache already…

Beauties and the beast from 1974 is one incredibly stupid little movie and trying to sum up the nonexistent plot is really hard, I’m sorry I did my best… But this is not the kind of movie you’d be watching if you are into unnecessary things like plot, acting, continuity or dialogue. So what are we left with if you strip all these elements from the film? Sex, boobies and some of the most incredibly hilarious lines and sequences in a Bigfoot movie you’ll ever see. Most of the time it felt like I was watching a Doris Wishman feature, for those of you who don’t know what that means; Bad dubbing, hilarious dialogue, no sync, barely any continuity, overlong shots and a lot of library cues. The plot in the movie changes almost abruptly in every scene, making it very hard to follow what goes on. It’s very probable that the crew rewrote the script for every scene they shot. There is even some sequences during the last part of the movie where, the hippies have been bathing and running around in the nude, and in the next scene, Digard and another girl is running through the woods witch is now covered in snow, dressed in a heavy jackets.

The thing that probably will attract most viewers to this film is to se the talents of Swedish bombshell Uschi Digard, and I’m not talking about her acting talents. Her acting in this movie is so horrible that it’s almost not funny, luckily it doesn’t go long before the” unholy two” are being flashed before the camera, and every detail about her acting abilities are quickly forgotten. Most of the sex scenes in the film work pretty well, although some of them are a bit too long. To my big disappointment, there are no scenes of Bigfoot-on-woman action, besides for a brief breast fondling scene featuring our hairy friend. There are some really hilarious and bizarre moments in the film, a long surreal dream sequence where two naked girls have a western duel, complete with gun belts right above their muffs. And my favorite scene; a tender love scene becomes unexpectedly broken up when the couple rolls over on a rubber duck which gives off a loud squeaking noise (!?!?!).The movie is so stupid, so surreal, so inept, and yet so much fun! So if you are like me, a fan of these superbly stupid sex films from the golden age of smut, a little Bigfoot only sweetens the deal! Dig in!!

MONDO FREUDO

2008-01-06T18:32:00.000-08:00

The scenes in this film are real - too real for the immature!

How about another trip around the world with Lee Frost and bob Cresse? This time it will be even spicier than the last time. Directing their focus now, almost entirely on the subject of sex, we are invited into Mondo Freudo, the Freudian world. “A world full of sex, sex symbols and the strange and unusual lore that governs them.” The film opens up with shots of various people frolicking at the beach in California¨, filmed with a telescopic lens. This shot serves only as an appetizer as the following sequence is of the same beach, only at night, now filmed with an infrared camera. Trying to capture a couple having sex, all they find is an young couple making out. Let’s move on. We are informed that we are Hollywood, later the same night, to film the many strip clubs featured in the film. The narrator tells us how the rules in the US apply to topless dancers and what they can and can’t expose to the leering audience.And on that note we are quickly swooped to London and to new strip clubs, from private to public ones, giving us mundane facts about the British legal system concerning striptease and nudity. After visiting a couple of the more seedy clubs of London we get to see the prostitutes, hanging their photos and phone numbers on billboards, since streetwalking prostitutes are illegal in England. We visit two of these working girls, hoping to get a demonstration of their lesbian skills for the camera, but they will only perform if the camera is off. When the camera is mercilessly turned off, we head back to the US to San Francisco, were we witness a topless fashion show, the Kabuki watusi club and oil painting on naked women. Following the shots of women with red paint all over their bodies, we travel on, south of the border, to Tijuana. Here the camera reveals poverty in an Indian village, were girls are sold into slavery as prostitutes. Showing us one of these slave auctions, the narrator happily informs us that the girls are better off working as private sex slaves and in local strip clubs. On that reassuring note, we leave Mexico and go to New York to se a black mass performed by witches on a loft near Times Square, and more prostitutes filmed with “hidden cameras”.
Staying on the topic on prostitution, we head to the east, for Japan to learn that prostitution, striptease and S&M clubs are legal, showing us footage from one of these “sadism” clubs. Our final destination is Germany were we are titillated with a scene from a restaurant which features some high class entertainment; Mud wrestling!

Mondo Freudo, filmed in 1966, probably back to back with Mondo Bizarro, has the focus entirely on the subject of sex. As you may have guessed the only thing we ever get to see are the buttocks and breasts of the women in front of the camera and nothing else. One should think that a Mondo film with a more focused objective would be a good thing, but Frost and Cresse hasn’t managed to do anything particularly good with the film. Most of the narration is just as stupid or even more stupid than it was in Mondo Bizarro, and many of the scenes are done in the same fashion. Again they are using the ever hip “hidden” camera and telescopic lens, trying desperately to add more to the movie. To be honest, the topless girls got boring after 20 minutes and there really isn’t anything else to this film other than topless girls. It’s also apparent that they tried to mask the obvious fact that it is a nudie picture by inserting too much useless and boring “facts” about the legal system around the world concerning nudity and sex, comparing each countries laws on the subject. As with Mondo Bizarro, it is very difficult to tell which of the footage is real and what is faked, when all of the club scenes seem to be filmed inside a tiny set. One improvement is that we get to see a little bit more of each location we are going to, but also here is it hard to tell if it is stock footage. Mondo Freudo is easily the weakest entry in the Mondo genre I’ve seen so far, and I can’t really recommend this to anyone, you’re actually better off watching Mondo Bizarro again.

MONDO BIZARRO

2008-01-02T15:12:00.000-08:00

A World of Beauty, Sensuality and Repulsion

Let’s take another look at the strange and bizarre world we live in. Let Lee Frost and Bob Cresse take you for a spin around their globe on a string in Mondo Bizarro.The film opens with shots of women getting undressed in a dressing room filmed through a two way mirror. Giving us the full close up of the brassieres and breasts of the unsuspecting women in front of the camera. We travel shortly after to the Bahamas to see the weird Voodoo rituals of the natives performed for some reason every Thursday night.After quickly explaining why the natives feel the urge to dance, take ganja and sacrifice chickens every Thursday, we are transported to Japan.Did you know that Japan had 7220 massage parlors in 1966? Me neither, but we get to see what happens inside of one of these parlors through the magic of the two way mirror.An American customer is given the “special massage” witch seems to be nothing more than an ordinary massage… With raw eggs…Before this “shocking” image gets a chance to sear your unsuspecting brain we are hurled over to Hollywood, California for a narrated tour through Fredericks of Hollywood, a brassiere factory. Including the three minute montage of brassiere close-ups and bulging breasts in the best sixties style!Then we go to Sydney Australia for a man who can heal himself through meditation, and a man who eats a break away sugar bottle right before your very eyes!After the bizarre bottle eating footage we find ourselves back in California again, this time to check out the homosexual prostitutes, through the always fresh “hidden camera” method that never seems to grow old to Lee and co.But California has more bizarre sights to show the curious onlooker, painters and sculptors protesting against the war in Vietnam through their art. Protesters protesting the Nam protesters… Confused yet? And if that’s not weird enough; artists making sculptures of photos of naked girls and a teenage sex fest during Easter at California’s sunny beaches. It’s time to travel to Europe, more exact to Germany, to witness a young girl being whipped brutally by SS officers in a stage performance glorifying the horrors of Nazism. This shot lingers so long, that I could help wondering if this could be the point where Frost and Cresse got the idea for Love Camp 7 that would come to fruition some three years later. The grand finale comes in the form of a shot supposedly shot in Lebanon, showing a modern slave auction; shoot in front of the Bronson Canyon cave where the infamous Robot Monster was shot 13 years before.

Just when I though Arthur Davis had showed me all the Bizarre and savage in the world, comes Frost and Cresse and shows me the forbidden shot through hidden cameras. Much lighter than other Mondo films, Mondo Bizarro focuses mostly on the female body and man’s lust for sex. Although the word sex is never mentioned in the film, you get a whole array of excuses and colorful words to describe it! It’s very hard to tell what’s faked and what’s real because every scene in the film seems fake or surreal in some way or another. The only indication we ever get to where the footage has been shot is the cheap globe on the string and the narrator telling us where we are. It is very likely that the crew never left the US during the making of this film. The soundtrack consists of 60s rock for the most part and goes pretty well with the scenes in the film, for the more “shocking” footage like the slave auction, there is the standard dramatic classical score. This is definitively not a film for everyone. Unless you get a thrill out of watching a distorted view of the world in the 1960s or a cheap laugh of the obviously faked footage this isn’t a film for you. There is no really explicit scenes of any kind in the film, so Mondo freaks looking for some new extreme to explore can also keep on searching. But for the die hard exploitation freak, for the dweller in the cinematic garbage dump, and for the morbidly curious in the field of grade Z movies; “Do you know what’s beyond the Beyond? For that matter, do you even know what’s behind the behind?”

Dive in and see if you have the courage to find out!

BRUTES AND SAVAGES

2008-01-02T09:53:00.000-08:00

SEE 1,001 forbidden scenes never before filmed!! New! Different! Unusual!

Let’s join Arthur Davis on his expedition to find the answer to the world’s shocking secrets and explore the weird religious rites in Brutes and Savages. The film opens on religious and sexual rites in a primitive tribe in Africa; we get to see how the men paint their faces and fight to the death over the women of the tribe. We see how the young men has to go through the test of proving their manhood by crossing a crocodile infested river, and the hilariously fake death scene when one of the young men is “violently” attacked by a crocodile. Then Arthur Davis takes us to South America where he will probe into the mysteries of the Inca Indians, and we get to see a turtle sacrifice at the wedding of a young couple. He shows us the harsh reality of the poverty and slums of South America before he takes us on to even more rites of native Indians. Countless acts of violence against animals, man vs. animals and animals vs. animals. Then he shows us the cocaine fields of Bolivia, followed by stone throwing Indians to a long scene of Brain surgery. Davis takes us to an archaeological museum to illegally film the erotic pottery of the Inca Indians before he finishes off his expedition by probing into a mating ceremony including Llamas.

The Mondo genre, created by the powerful and magnificent Mondo Cane, spawned many spin offs and imitations. One of the more moronic and stupid of these imitations is Brutes and Savages. The film shows us very little credible footage and very much of the “real” scenes are painfully faked, and one can see the natives being embarrassed of being in front of the camera. Even some of the animals seem to be ashamed of being put in front of the camera. All of the “bizarre rites” seems suspicious and almost every scene is followed by a scene of animal killing of some kind. Even in the liner notes of the DVD Chris Poggiali even questions if Arthur Davis even set foot in Africa during the making of this film(!). The film is however exploitation in its purest form and can provide some semi perverted kicks here and there for the more jaded exploitation freak, but most of the footage shown in the film is so awkward and stupid it’s not even worth it for your curiosity. The only really positive thing with this film is the excellent soundtrack by Riz Ortolani (Cannibal Holocaust, House on the Edge of the Park, & Mondo Cane) which fits nicely in with all the nature shots and weirdness in the film. The Mondo genre itself has many enlightening, powerful and disturbing pictures well worth your time and money, but Brutes and Savages is definitively not one of these!!!

ASYLUM OF SATAN

2007-03-04T17:45:00.000-08:00

Love Slaves Of Satan Tortured To Blood-Dripping Death

The young woman Lucina has a nervous breakdown and wakes up at an Asylum to find herself confused and scared. She is told that she has been transferred to the Pleasant Hill Asylum to receive special treatment from the acknowledged Dr. Specter. But Lucina refuses to believe all that she is told by the asylum staff and as she discovers more about the hospital and its patients, things aren’t what they seem to be. The dark asylum has a strange atmosphere over it and all of the patients are dressed in white hooded robes, and the few patients that talks to Lucinda only tells her to obey the asylum rules. It’s easier that way. Soon Lucina starts to have nightmares and visions of horrible things. When Lucina finally meets Dr. Specter, he informs her that she has had a breakdown and has to be confined to the hospital under supervision. As her treatment continues, Lucina’s fiancée, Chris, comes to visit her, but he is met by the good Doctor himself who informs him that the asylum does not have visiting hours. Furious, Chris drives down to the local Police station to get help to get his fiancée out of the asylum. As Chris drives off, Lucina watches him from a window, and it becomes painfully clear that she is trapped inside the asylum. And soon more and more horrible things are taking place at Pleasant Hill, and it seems as some terrifying evil is lurking at the asylum.

Asylum of Satan is a strange, creepy , cheesy and atmospheric film from maverick director William Girdler (Abby, Three on a Meathook, Day of the Animals) that works pretty well as an entertaining little shocker. Made at a time when films about the devil where extremely popular by the public, Asylum of Satan is a little unknown gem. The acting in the film is ok at best, Carla Borelli does a pretty decent job as Lucina, and Charles Kissinger is menacing and disturbing as he portrays both the evil doctor and the demented nurse Martine. The music is a fine mixture of creepy, brooding music to upbeat 70s rock witch fits great into the movie. The lighting in the film is one of the things that help it to become more than just a cheesy horror film, as most of the shots are nicely lit and helps to create tension and mood in the more sinister scenes. The special effects are pretty lame, even by the standards of the 70s, but that’s one of the things that make this film so much fun and charming. One of the most noticeable thing with the movie is the brooding, eerie atmosphere that’s present throughout most of the film; witch gives it a quirky and eerie touch. So if you manage to look away from the cheesy effects and the stale acting, this film has more than a few really moody and creepy scenes up its sleeve. Asylum of Satan is a perfect film for any dark and stormy night, either you’re in mood for some devil worshiping, an atmospheric horror film or just plain ol’ cheese!

ORGY OF THE DEAD

2007-02-27T18:00:00.000-08:00

In gorgeous and shocking ASTRAVISION and SEXICOLOR!

The young couple Bob and Shirley is driving along an old deserted highway in the middle of the night looking for a creepy graveyard. Bob is a horror writer and he wants to find an old graveyard to get some more inspiration for his writing. Shirley thinks this is a bad idea driving around in the middle of the night, but Bob is determined to find a graveyard. Suddenly the car gets out of control and crashes into a ditch, rendering Bob and Shirley unconscious. As a strange coincidence, they crashed just by an old graveyard where strange things are happening. It seems that the Emperor of the Night and his evil minions are loose at the cemetery and the Emperor is making the dead dance before him for his amusement. As the dead girls are dancing topless before the Emperor, Bob and Shirley is regaining consciousness and decides to go over to the cemetery to investigate the strange occurrences. Before they manage to get their heads straight about the strange scene that meets them at the graveyard, the couple are captured by the Mummy and the Wolf man and taken before the Emperor. The ghouls tie them up and the couple is forced to stand and watch as more and more dead girls rise from the grave to dance topless for their Emperor. Slowly it dawns on Bob and Shirley that they have to escape before they are forced to join the undead fiends in eternity. As the Emperor and his Ghouls are making their plans to destroy the couple, the moon is slowly going down, and time is running out. Will Bob and Shirley join the ranks of the undead, or will they be able to make their escape before they are tortured to death by the Princess of the Night?

Written by the one and only Ed Wood, Orgy of the Dead is an unusual film experience. It starts out with atrocious dialogue by Criswell, followed by horrendously edited driving sequences and no night/day continuity, in other words, it starts of very well! But after the first two-three girls have danced and you’ve gotten that little kick from the Mummy and the WolfMan, there isn’t really anything else to look forward to in the movie. Granted, there is more incredibly bad acting and hilarious dialogue in the film, but as one girl after another creeps out and starts dancing topless, again and again… It gets kind of repetitive and boring after about 40 minutes or so. And then you’ve only got about 50 minutes left of the same thing all over again. Orgy of the Dead is at least worth watching once just because it’s hilariously bad and sleazy, but just don’t expect a masterpiece. But I could also see this movie growing on me a bit, as the film has a sort of numbing effect on the mind. So pick a night when you are in the mood for topless girls, lots of fog and laughable dialogue and give it a try. But don’t say I didn’t warn you!

DRACULA PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN

2007-02-25T13:59:00.000-08:00

Yesterday they were COLD & DEAD - TODAY - they're HOT & BOTHERED!

In an old, dark castle on top of a hill overlooking a small village inhabited by Gypsies, lives the infamous count Dracula. Feared by everyone in the village as the evil count transforms himself into a bat and steals away into the night and drinks the blood of unsuspecting victims. But the young and brave Dr. Seward has managed to put an end to the reign of terror from the vampire by driving a stake through his heart, and once again the small village is safe… Or is it? Not long after the slaying of Dracula, a stranger comes to the little town with his assistant and takes up residence in the old castle. The strange old man is none other than Dr. Frankenstein who has chosen the old castle for a very sinister purpose. It seems as though the good doctor has managed to create his inhuman monster and immediately sets it loose on the little town in search for fresh victims. Dr. Frankenstein has a diabolical plan of resurrecting the infamous old count from the dead, and aided by the vampire he sets out to create an army of undead ghouls in order to take over the world. One by one the villager starts to disappear and ends up as frightening vampires in Dr. Frankenstein’s evil army. When Dr. Seward finds out about Frankenstein’s heinous deeds he sets out to spoil his evil plan and yet again save the small village from the forces of evil. But this time his attempt on foiling any plans gets wrecked as he is attacked by the Monstrous creation of Dr. Frankenstein. When Dr. Seward wakes up from the attack, he has been taken in by a local gypsy woman who wants to aid him in the battle against evil. But there isn’t much time, the full moon draws near and Frankenstein’s unholy army of the dead is growing bigger, can Dr. Seward act in time to stop the forces of evil once and for all?

Dracula Prisoner of Frankenstein is not the first foray into this old school monster territory for the Spanish director Jesus Franco, who has made several films about the classic tale of Dracula and Frankenstein. Franco is perhaps best known for his more erotic takes on the horror genre and has made many memorable euro cult films such as Venus in Furs, Succubus and Vampyros Lesbos. The other Franco titles I have seen have been more of the erotic sort and can’t be compared much with the more classic tale of monsters he has cooked up here in Dracula Prisoner of Frankenstein. The film has a wonderful dreamy atmosphere over it and combined with a beautiful score fro Bruno Nicolai (Actually the same score Nicolai made for Franco’s earlier film Justine) the film is and almost magical and absurd journey. There is almost no dialogue in the film, something that helps a lot to maintain the weird dream like atmosphere. The elements in the film are very gothic in their nature with rolling hills, a quiet village and the dark brooding castle. The acting is pretty mediocre at best and there is even a little overacting from Franco regular Dennis Price, but in a film like this I wouldn’t have it any other way. Dracula Prisoner of Frankenstein is not one of Franco’s best films but for me it ranks pretty high and I had a great time watching the film. A fun old monster mash filled with some skin, cool and cheesy monsters, and a delightful dreamy atmosphere! What more can one ask for, on a rainy night?

TERROR IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE

2007-01-16T16:49:00.000-08:00

Filmed in mind-altering Psycho-Rama!

The American woman Sheila Wayne has lived in Switzerland most of her life, and she has met a nice young man, Philip, and married him. After the whirlwind romance, she has started to have nightmares about an old haunted house. It seems as though she has had some problems with the same dream before and has been committed to an insane asylum for quite some time. Now that Philip has entered her life the nightmares start to occur again and she is getting more and more troubled by them. She goes to a psychiatrist and tells him about her nightmare, and she is sure she is going to die in the haunted house. Her psychiatrist encourages her to go with Philip and live in America, to get a change in scenery. Sheila thinks it’s a good idea to go back to her native country and she and Philip is on the first plane to the states. But on the plane trip Philip is getting secretive and strange and doesn’t tell Sheila anything about where their going or where they are going to stay. When they arrive in America, Florida, they rent a car and drive deep into the swamps, where their new home is located. But as they pull up to the house, far away from anything resembling civilisation, Sheila discovers to her horror that the house is the very same one as in her nightmare! She reluctantly stays in the house with Philip, who claims its good therapy for her, but it doesn’t take long before her uneasiness in the new house becomes a descent into paranoia, as more and more strange occurrences starts to take place there. A weird caretaker, strange sounds at night and a dark, disturbing mystery only Sheila has the answer to. Will Sheila be able to unlock the terrifying secret, hidden deep inside her own mind before it’s too late?

Terror in the Haunted House is a chilling little mystery tale from the late 50s (1958 to be exact) and has some good atmospheric moments. Using a hip, new way to attract audiences, the film is presented in "Psycho-Rama...Using subliminal communication!", a technique of showing “creepy” and weird looking faces and even messages during the film, so quickly that only your sub-consciousness knows what you’ve seen. A very annoying thing that luckily doesn’t appear to frequently during this little chiller. The story in the film is a mediocre and easily recognizable one, but there are some elements in the film that’s exciting in a weird sort of way. The soundtrack is a pretty standard one for 50s horror/mystery films and it gets the job done most of the time. The acting from Sheila (Cathy O’Donnell) and Philip (Gerald Mohr) is ok, and it’s what you’d expect from a movie like this. The main problem with the film is the fact that it doesn’t stand out among the tons and tons of other gimmicky shockers from the 50s, but as far as entertainment value goes, this one delivers what you need when you’re hungry for some old school schlock. So Terror in the Haunted House is a pretty decent little terror tale that’ll serve nicely as a weird dish if you want to see a trashy old horror/mystery film in the middle of the night.

THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP

2006-12-10T10:33:00.000-08:00

The Most Bizarre Experiment in Human Sexuality!

All over the city young couples are being kidnapped, from lesbian lovers to orgy loving hippies. The police are baffled as they have no clues to whom or what is behind the strange kidnappings, no traces and no fingerprints. But a young reporter have followed the story for quite some time and he has a theory based upon something that happened in Italy 50 years ago; a mad scientist is kidnapping young lovers in order to use their libido to keep himself alive and find a cure to immortality by studying human sexuality. The police shrug off his theory as nonsense and fantasy, but the young reporter sticks to his theory and starts investigating. It seems as though the mad doctor Humpp has surfaced in the city and is using his misshapen experiments as slaves to get him the young lovers that he needs to fulfill his bizarre experiments in sexual behavior. Taking his orders from a brain in a jar, the doctor studies the behavior of the couples as he gives them an aphrodisiac, and then extracts their libido in order to rejuvenate himself and stay alive even longer. Everything goes fine and according to Dr. Humpp’s plan until the young reporter gets a hot clue from a bartender who saw the horrifying creature that kidnapped one of the young strippers from the bar. As the police and the investigative reporter comes closer and closer to discovering Dr. Humpp’s terrifying secret, the doctor goes further and further with his insane experiments and even goes as far as kidnapping the young reporter and tries to create a sexual slave out of him. But the reporter is out to stop the madness of the doctor and his minions and the noose is tightening around the neck of Dr. Humpp, who goes now to new extremes to finish his insane project of bizarre sexuality.

The Curious Dr. Humpp is another fine offering from the Argentinean director Emilio Vieyra (Feast of Flesh) and proved to be both a mind boggling experience as well as an impressive horror/exploitation film from the seventies. Vieyra has managed to create a weird, dreamlike atmosphere in this film by using sharp black and white photography, strange lighting and some inventive camerawork. The result is a twisted, strange and sexy exploitation film that keeps your eyes fixed on the screen through the entire feature. The actors in the film do an ok job delivering their roles, and this works pretty well in the movie. The soundtrack consists of the usual jazz/rock score that is evident in most of the seventies exploitation films of this calibre, and I don’t think the music could be any more appropriate and lifts the bizarre atmosphere of the film to new heights. The make up effects on the slave creatures of the mad doctor is pretty awful, but in light of the weirdness of the film they are quite effective and provide a good horror element to the experience. Most of the sex scenes in the film are US inserts, but it is hardly noticeable when you see the film, and they add a little more spice to the feature. The Curious Dr. Humpp is a strange film that works perfect as a late night exploitation and horror feature I loved every bizarre second of this Argentinean decent into sexual experiments. Exploitation buffs and lovers of strange cinema take note; this one is a keeper!

2069: A SEX ODYSSEY

2006-11-30T14:20:00.000-08:00

A spaced out comedy with the most exciting climaxes...!

During a guided tour at a space observatory, one of the guests spots an Alien vessel headed for earth while looking through a telescope. The spaceship contains the aliens of the Venusian race which are all women, and they have come to earth to find men to harvest their semen in order to make their population survive. The crew of five is led by commander sex sex sex, who does her best to inform the rest of the crew of how the male seed is gathered and how they have tried to do research on the male specimens, figuring out they need seeds to last them 10 000 years. While the spaceship is making its decent to the earth, the crew watches television programs in order to better understand the male specimens of the earth. The crew comes to the conclusion that men are dangerous and they will have to approach their specimens cautiously. They land in a little, snowy village and starts looking for male specimens, but first the girls camouflages themselves in men’s clothes in order to blend in with the population. But the five girls quickly runs into problems when they engage contact with the male population as each of the men they encounter pose a different problem for each of the girls. The men of the village are more than eager to show off their equipment and also give the girls free lessons on how to use it and one after one the girls experience sex for the first time and love it. But the fate of the mission is at stake since none of the girls is able to provide any samples of the male seed. Will the five Venusians be able to finish the mission and return to their home planet?

2069: A Sex Odyssey is a German entry in the sexploitation genre from the mid seventies. In the same vein as other sex films from the same era (Space Thing, Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman) it takes use of the silly alien Sci-Fi plot along with bad special effects and cheesy costumes. The film is not as explicit as I thought it would be and it is much tamer than many of its American sexploitation counterparts from the same era. The acting in the film was pretty average, much of what to expect when you’re watching a film like this. The music was also pretty average with soft pop elements to more raunchy Euro pop beats; there are also some scenes with the trademark German polka music which is really unbearable. The film isn’t going to win any awards for originality, nor because it’s particularly good. In fact it’s extremely silly and that might be the main reason why I liked it, as I didn’t expect much originality or award winning plots in a film like this. It is silly, stupid, and not very explicit on the sex scenes but it’s a whole lot of campy fun. These films are a thing of the past unfortunately, but if you are into sexploitation films or just looking for some nudie entertainment one night, 2069 isn’t a bad choice!

2069: A Sex Odyssey is available on DVD at POPcinema, click here for more information!

LOVE AFTER DEATH

2006-11-21T13:03:00.000-08:00

Buried alive... He returns from the dead to seek love and revenge!

A group of people are gathered around an open coffin, inside the coffin lies the body of a young man, Montel. What the group of people doesn’t know is that Montel is fully conscious, and tries to speak to the people around him, but it’s only he himself who can hear the voice. Screaming for help, to his wife, his doctor and his friends, but they see him only as a motionless body. As one of the men closes the lid of the coffin, Montel screams to deaf ears, trying to tell them that he has had an epileptic seizure and they’re burying him alive, but to no use. Not long after the party has buried the coffin, said their last words and driven away, Montel manages to crawl his way out of the coffin, and staggers across the graveyard. Meanwhile it would seem that Montel’s wife Sofia isn’t stricken with grief as she caresses and kisses Montel’s doctor, telling him about the money her “dead” husband left her. That same evening, Montel hits the town, apparently feeling much better, and brutally attacks a young woman, beating her unconscious, before he strips off her clothes and starts to fondle her. But before he does anything further with the young girl, something stops him and send him running away. Meanwhile police officers have discovered Montel’s empty grave and have notified both the doctor and Montel’s wife. But Montel is keeping busy, going to nightclubs to peep at the girls in their locker room, and even breaking into a girls apartment to watch her have sex with another woman, but yet he is unable to have sex with the women, even when they welcome his presence. After running around in town for a while, he seeks out his wife’s apartment, and sees her with the doctor and his old friends, celebrating his demise. He is not spotted by the group, and as they leave the building to celebrate he swears a horrible revenge upon them for burying him alive…

Love after Death is a very tedious little Argentinean exploitation film, starting off on a rather good premise, but ends up in a dull incoherent plot. As it is in most of your standard Z grade exploitation offers from the late sixties, there is no sound and the minimal dialogue have been re-dubbed for an American release. The music is the basic horror/raunchy jazz library music, witch sounds like just about every other random library music. The “actors” in this one does by far some of the worst acting I have seen in years, and it’s bad even for an old exploitation flick like this. The actors are smiling or laughing in almost every scene, no matter what the setting is, giving the film an even more dull and stupid tone. The positive thing with the film is that the film that started off as a horror film suddenly changes direction into a sexploitation fare, and there is more than a few overlong scenes with naked women and even a few sex scenes, both straight and lesbian stuff. But even this gets dull after awhile, but then at last but not least, there is the “surprise ending”! A surprise that’s probably going to make you want to pull out your hair in pure frustration and anger. So yep, you guessed right, Love after Death, is 72 minutes of boring, incoherent plot, bad acting, and overlong sex scenes, skip this one, you can find better than this, even if it is just for some cheap laughs one late Saturday afternoon.

INGA

2006-10-14T05:17:00.000-07:00

The sensation that started it all!

Greta, a 34 year old woman is living the life of a teenager with her young boyfriend Karl. She’s going to parties and having fun, but under the surface she is a troubled widow, with financial problems. And now she has gotten the message that her 17 year old niece Inga is coming to live with her after Inga’s mother passed away. Meanwhile, Greta is visited by Einar; a wealthy older gentleman who needs a companion after his wife was committed to an Asylum. He wants Greta as his new companion, and offers her financial support for her “service”, but Greta is fed up with his generation and their stiff upper lip. She wants to continue to see Karl, who doesn’t like her spending time with other men, but she knows that her financial problems will come between them. Greta sets up a date with Karl, and together they drive to the train station to pick up young Inga, who turns out to be a beautiful, bright and shy young girl. Inga is taken to Greta, the place witch will be her new home, and during time in the sauna with her young niece she gets an idea. She asks the young girl what her interests are, and she quietly tells her that she is interested in reading, history and classical music. Greta gets the idea to hook up Inga and Einar, since they both have the same interests. By introducing them to each other, Greta can remain with Karl, keep up her social status and get rid of her financial worries. When Inga spends a week at Einar’s cabin the two immediately hit it off, and Einar falls in love with the beautiful young girl. When they return from their trip, Greta is called over to talk to Einar’s sister, who wants to discuss the arrangement of Inga and her brother. She promises Greta 1000 dollars a month in financial support if Inga stays as Einar’s “constant companion”. This is a deal that Greta is very pleased with, but it seems as though Inga had a great time with Einar, she has her eye set for someone else.

Joseph Sarno, the name should ring a bell for those of you interested in sexploitation cinema, directed the box office smash Inga in 1968. The film was a huge success both in Sweden, where it’s filmed, and internationally. Starring the beautiful Marie Liljedahl in her first, and perhaps most memorable role, as the beautiful young virgin Inga. The film may seem as just another sex film from a decade when they were in bundles, but Inga is much more than that. Using heavy elements of drama, Sarno creates a hauntingly beautiful and deeply erotic look at the “free love” generation of the 60s. Sarno tells a very compelling story with steady direction and the pacing throughout the film is excellent. The scenery in the film is very beautiful, whether its downtown Stockholm or in the luxury middle class houses of the characters. The acting in the film is very good, and both Liljedahl as Inga and Monica Strömmerstedt as her aunt are great in their roles. The soundtrack in the film by Clay Pitts is really just amazing, and features some really catchy rock tunes and some more emotional, slow pieces that just incorporate itself in the film brilliantly. Inga is perhaps not as shocking today as it was for audiences in the 60s, nevertheless it still remains an important part in the history of erotic cinema. If you want to see a really good sex film from the early sixties you need to see Inga, a powerful piece of sexploitation and a significant piece of motion picture history. Highly recommended!!

Inga is available on DVD at POPcinema, click here for more information!

I DRINK YOUR BLOOD

2006-09-22T17:27:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Valley Falls, a peaceful, quiet little town that’s going out of business due to a dam project. But the quiet little town and its 40 inhabitants are about to get a nasty little surprise in the form of a band of eight satanic hippies led by an extremist named Horace. The nightmare starts off as the gang violates a young girl from the town, who manages to escape them, but as the gang’s trucks break down on a road near the town, they see no other alternative than to stay in the little community. The find themselves an old abandoned hotel where they chase after rats, perform satanic rituals and take LSD. But the young girl that was violated by the hippies has a younger brother named Pete, who is getting suspicious about the gang’s ominous appearance in the little town. Pete sneaks around and keeps a close look at the hippies; meanwhile his grandfather learns that it is the gang that is responsible for the rape and beating of his young granddaughter. As the old man goes over to the hippies to get his revenge, Pete follows him. The old man pose no threat to the gang, who beats him up and gives him some LSD before handing him over to Pete who has to carry him all the way home. When he has safely returned his grandfather to the kitchen table where he sits and mumbles, high as a kite, Pete takes matters in to his own hands by borrowing his grandpa’s shotgun and venturing out again to get retribution on the hippie gang. But on his way he encounters a rabid dog that he manages to kill. After he has killed the mad dog he goes back home and borrows a syringe and some medical equipment from his grandpa’s veterinarian lab, and return to the dead dog to take some of the rabies infested blood with him. On the next morning Pete is up helping out at the local bakery store, waiting for the hippies to come for their breakfast. When two of the gang members show up, Pete has some meat pies ready for them. Meat Pies injected with rabies infected blood that is. But are Pete and the little town of Valley Hills prepared for the horror he has unleashed by giving the satanic hippies rabies? The effect is a horrible tripped out carnage that will leave the quiet little town dripping with blood.

I Drink your Blood is one magical, tripped out ride of an exploitation film, filled to the brim with whacky characters, blood & gore and a plot that’s way out there. The acting in the film is surprisingly good for a movie like this, although it seems like most of the actors are actually tripping on LSD throughout the film. There are numerous inventive and crazy camera angles that help the film maintain it’s tripped out atmosphere, and there are moments in the film where that atmosphere plus some creative lighting makes the movie sort of creepy in its own way. The soundtrack by Clay Pitts (who also wrote the soundtrack for Joseph Sarno’s Inga), works very well, and it maintains an energetic drive throughout the film. I Drink your Blood may not be the most inventive film ever made, but it has a certain energy and whacky feeling over it one cannot help but be entertained through the movie. There are also a lot of blood and gore, and the silly gore effects works perfectly in the film, and is really the kind of effects you’d expect from a movie like this. I drink your Blood is a masterpiece within the exploitation genre; you’ll get everything you’ll ever want from a film like this, and even more! It is a very fun and wild ride and you’ll never get bored with all the craziness going on in the film! There is no doubt whatsoever, if you have even the slightest interest in exploitation films you need to see this one!! Remember kids: Satan was an acid head. Watch this film; pledge yourselves. And together, we'll all freak out!!

SOMETHING WEIRD

2006-08-20T05:14:00.000-07:00

An unbelievable journey into the awesome worlds of E.S.P. and witchcraft!

A young man, Cronin Mitchell gets into an accident where his face is badly burned and disfigured from an electrical cord. When he awakens in the hospital he finds out that his life has changed considerably after the accident. He has gained weird psychic powers, and is now able to read minds. Broken down because of the disfigurement of his face, he covers it with a scarf and sunglasses and begins to work as a fortune teller. One day he gets visited by an old woman, who claims she can give the thing he desires most; his good looks. The only catch is if she helps him with his face, he has to become her lover forever. He laughs at the old woman but when he turns around to look at himself in the mirror he notices that his face is now back to normal. Now he will have to keep up his end of the bargain and stay with the old woman forever as her lover. Together they tour the country, performing on TV with Mitchell’s psychic powers, and soon he is a national celebrity. The word quickly gets around and he is discovered by the government who wants Mitchell to Washington to help them solve crimes. So they send out a doctor, Alex Jordan, to test Mitchell’s ESP powers and help out with an investigation on a ruthless serial killer. Dr. Jordan meets up with Mitchell and the old woman, who has assumed the shape of a beautiful young woman named Ellen in front of people, and Jordan is quickly convinced of Mitchell’s enormous psychic powers. Through several displays of his ESP powers, such as expelling a ghost from a church and invoking the spirits of the dead, they are ready to take on the task of finding the cruel serial killer that is loose in the small Illinois town. But it is a harder task than they thought, and a wild ride through a world of murder, witchcraft, ESP and LSD…

Something Weird is another strange gem from director Herschell Gordon Lewis, and it is an exciting and exotic journey into a bizarre world of drugs, hallucinations and witchery. The film pretty much lives up to its title and you’ll get exactly what’s promised… Something weird…It is filled with weird and wonderful psychedelic scenes accompanied with weird and a deliciously funky jazz score. I got a strange feeling when I watched the film, as the atmosphere sucks you right into the movie. Several scenes in the film have an almost nightmarish quality over them, the murder scenes for example is filmed with quirky camera angles and leaves you fumbling in the dark on the identity of the serial killer. One of the most memorable scenes in the film is when Dr. Jordan is violently attacked in his sleep by his own blanket (!) and has to struggle with the light blue piece of cloth before ripping it to shreds. The long LSD induced dream sequence of Mitchell is also one of the highlights in the film, where Mitchell gets clues to the murder case while running through a desert. All of it filmed with a mind boggling orange filter. Indeed the film lives up to its name and provides the viewer with an equally strange experience as those in the film just by watching it. Required viewing for fans of H.G.Lewis and fans of strange and weird films!

BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER

2006-08-12T06:05:00.000-07:00

Beach party lovers make hey! hey! in the moonlight... While the monster lurks in the shadows!

A gang of surfers is hanging around the beach, dancing to surf tunes and riding the waves. One of the lightly clad girls starts to tease one of the boys and he starts to chase her, but she outruns him pretty quick, and finds herself at the entrance to a cave on the beach. She pays little attention to the cave, and does not notice the thing that comes out of the cave towards her. A horrifying creature that drags itself to her, and then attacks her, leaving her clawed body on the beach and then runs back into the cave. Soon after the mauled body is found by one of the other girls in the gang and the authorities are notified. The police find some large footprints in the sand where the girl was killed, footprints to big and weird to come from a human. The sheriff talks to a local scientist, Otto Lindsay, who’s an expert on fish and sea creatures and he believes that the footprints are those of an enormous fish capable on living on land, a fish normally found in Africa. But he also mentions that the footprints are even larger than those of the fish, and perhaps the one that attacked the girl is a mutation of some sorts. The police are still convinced that the killer they are after is a human and continues their search. Meanwhile one of the young men of the surfing gang, Richard Lindsay, happens to be the scientist’s son, and Otto does not like the fact that his son hangs out with the surfers and the girl’s witch he refers to as “tramps”. Otto wanted his son to follow in his footsteps and study oceanography, but Richard wants to have fun and live his life before he gets to old. The relationship between Otto and Richard continues to be soar as Richard is feeling trampled by his father and picked on by his stepmother Vicky. But somewhere out there on the beach there is still a killer loose who stalks and attacks more teenagers from Richard’s surf gang.
Richard does his best to unravel the mystery before more of his friends are killed, but he doesn’t know that the killer might be closer than he thinks…

Beach Girls and the Monster is an entertaining little spoof portraying the popular surf scene in the mid 60s. The film is filled with light clad gals who shakes their bum to the catchy tunes of surf music and guys riding the waves, and in the middle of this a “horrible” creature who’s set out to kill the teenagers. The film was directed by Jon Hall (who also plays Dr. Otto Lindsay in the film) and has a lot of promise as a good little creature feature, but there is perhaps a bit to much melodrama caught in the middle of this that might take some of the interest away from some viewers. The music in the film however is a catchy and cool mixture of Frank Sinatra Jr’s jazz driven score and funky surf music and works very well for a movie like this. The climax of the film, suffers again from the more melodramatic parts of the feature, and it ends up as a rather disappointing Scooby Doo like ending. But if you have an ache for some old school surf horror one rainy Saturday, or if you are into no budget drive in horror you should check this one out, surf tunes, girls in bikinis, and a goofy looking monster gets a thumbs up in my book!

THEME TIME IS OVER!

2006-08-10T16:57:00.000-07:00

Well, boys and ghouls, theme time is over for now. But fear not, there will probably pop up some other bikesploitation reviews here later on, for you creeps who can’t get enough of the genre. So now we will follow our regular program of ghoulish horror and sleazy exploitation. A new review will be posted soon, so stay tuned for more sexy gruesomeness here on Repulsive Cinema!

WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS

2006-08-01T18:24:00.000-07:00

This Gang Thought It Was Tough... 'til it found a new type of hell...The Bride of Satan!

The Devils Advocates, the motorcycle gang of beardy, hard hitting, dirty and vicious men and their women, roaming the highways of America, looking for booze, weed and trouble. Following their leader Adam, they stop a driver in his car and beat the hell out of him in front of a gas station before tanking up and going in to the station to get some beers. One of the bikers, Tarot, is a spiritual man who reads peoples destiny through his tarot cards, is reading the fate of one of the girls inside the little gas station. The entire gang laughs at him and claims that he’s superstitious, but Tarot sees something in that cards that disturbs him. But before he can think it over, the gang hits the road yet again. After a while the gang decides to stop and take a rest, and they end up at a strange old monastery. And when the gang is relaxing, drinking some booze and getting high, they are approached by monks, who give them food and wine. While eating and drinking one of the monks in a different robe steps forth and starts to speak, he calls himself One, he speaks for the rest of the monks. While he is talking he takes one strand of hair from one of the girls, Helen, and then continues to talk as the gang one by one falls to sleep. While they are sleeping something is happening inside the monastery, dark, evil and satanic things, as One starts an unholy ritual to summon the bride of Satan. Helen awakens in the darkness outside, and is summoned to the monastery, where she takes part in the ghastly rituals of the monks. Adam wakes up to the sounds of screaming and chanting in the dark, and as he discovers that Helen is gone he quickly wakes up the gang. They rush into the monastery where they find her dancing naked in a circle of flames to the chants of the monks. The gang attacks the monks beating them up, but during the ordeal, each of the members present in the gang gets marked by the monks with a stripe of ash in the face. After the fight, the gang quickly gets on their bikes and travels towards the desert, unaware of the terrible curse that has been put on them by the monks…

Werewolves on Wheels is a fast paced, entertaining and psychedelic bikesploitation flick that mixes in a lot of horror elements. You’ll get really sucked into the plot and immediately feel like you’re a part of the Devils Advocates riding their hogs down the highway. Directed with a stylish touch by Michel Levesque, the film is very well done on almost all accounts and has a certain psychedelic hippie feel over it witch works very well in the film. The music by Don Gere is a perfect blend of country and psychedelic rock, witch adds more to the weird, psyched out 70s feeling of the film. The scenes of bloodshed in the film is done in a very cool and rather trippy way, witch further contributes to the suspense and tension of the film, as the bikers are being picked off one by one, by someone or something. The mixture of bikesploitation and horror works very well here and it has something extra that many other genre films are missing. This film is as good as they get within the exploitation genre, and this is probably the best film I’ve seen in the biksploitation category. So if you are after a really good bikesploitation/horror flick this is probably one of the best within its genre. This baby is a personal favourite and is highly recommended!!

SHE-DEVILS ON WHEELS

2006-07-19T16:54:00.000-07:00

Riding their men as viciously as they ride their motorcycles!

Meet the Man-Eaters, an all vicious, all female motorcycle gang who lives for racing, sex and violence. As a tradition the gang races down an abandoned air strip and the one that finishes first gets to have first pick at a man when they return to their clubhouse. On this particular race, a young girl named Karen wins as she has done many times before and so she gets to have her pick at the men waiting for them. Karen picks her man, but much to the rest of the gangs annoyance, she picks the same man she always picks, and that is against the rules of the Man-Eaters. On the morning after a rough night with the men, the gang meets without Karen to discuss the problem. It is decided that Karen has to prove her loyalty to the group and their leader, The Queen. A devious plan is thrown together and they call Karen, and tell her to meet them next night on the air strip. When Karen arrives on the strip the next night she discovers to her horror that the gang has brought with them the stud that has captured Karen’s heart, and she is faced by an ultimatum: Prove your loyalty to the gang by racing down the strip, dragging the stud after your motorcycle, or if you break the rules of the Man- Eaters, you’ll be dragged along with him. A tough decision for her to make, but after a little while she decides to drag the guy around on the strip. The gang is happy to see Karen prove her loyalty to them and things goes on as usual. But one day when the Man-Eaters return to their air strip they discover that there is another gang there, a gang of guys who’s using the old strip for racing with their cars. The Queen and the Man-Eaters are not happy with intruders on their territory, and attacks the rival gang. Soon after the brawl, Karen is being contacted by an old boyfriend who says he knows all about the Man-Eaters and the big fight with the rival gang of guys and have come to warn her that his brother is a member of the rival gang and a plot against the Man-Eaters are being made…And it’s not long before the rivalry between the two gangs goes too far…

This is perhaps a more unusual entry in the Bikesploitation genre since the gang we are following consist only of women. Directed by none other than the Godfather of gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis, this is a fun, exciting and fast passed bikesploitation film that’s very entertaining to watch. The music in the film is great, not to mention the catchy and easily addictive main theme “Get off the Road” witch is incredible! But I can’t help but feel a little disappointed as most of H.G Lewis’s movies are filled with gore, nudity and pitch black humor. There are a few scenes of violence in the film, but with an exception of one scene, I felt that the movie perhaps needed a little more, to spice things up. And the black humor that is evident in almost every Lewis film is not present here. In short; the movie is a fun and thrill filled ride and a good entry in the Bikesploitation genre, but many of the factors that H.G Lewis is known for is missing from the film. Overall the film is required viewing if you are a fan of Lewis’s other work, or out for a good entertaining Biksploitation flick!

RUN, ANGEL, RUN

2006-05-27T12:04:00.001-07:00

Raw and violent!

A hard hitting biker guy named Angel has sold out his biker gang for money. He has sold the story to magazines and is getting 10 000 dollars in return. Naturally the biker gang is not happy, and they do not take lightly upon Angel’s betrayal. So he has to hit the road on his Harley Davidson and he takes his girlfriend Laurie with him. Together they roam the dust filled streets and dirt roads trying to escape from Angel’s old gang. The biker gang sets out after Angel and on their way the create havoc and destruction. Angel’s goal is to get to San Francisco where he can pick up his money, and then he plans to leave the country with Laurie, but the road to San Francisco is long and hard. After stopping several times to take a rest, he decides to rent an old house in the country to settle down for a while and perhaps make some money. He manages to get a job at a local farmer who needs help around his ranch, and everything seems to work out fine for Angel and Laurie. But his old gang is getting closer to his trail, ripping the countryside apart looking for him. How long will it take before they find him…?

Run, Angel, Run starts of very well and is very exciting and fun to watch, and the film is pure, 70s biker action. Some very cool camera work and pacing makes the entire beginning of the film a real pleasure to watch. There is a long sequence where the screen is split up into many smaller pictures and this makes for an even more suspenseful atmosphere as well as a touch of the psychedelic. But alas after an hour of hard hitting biker action, the movie takes a sharp turn for the worse as Angel moves into the house with Laurie and starts to work for the local farmer. The film becomes a love story and reminds me more of a cheesy drama flick that’s made for television. This middle part was very though to sit trough as the plotline gets really flat and right out boring. It has its moments again in the very ending, but the middle part sucked the atmosphere right out of the movie. William Smith (Fast Company) who plays Angel does a very good job in portraying the character and he is obviously a very good actor, both in the action scenes and the more romantic scenes. Another positive thing with the film is the soundtrack which helps the film in the more action packed scenes. The guitar driven rock soundtrack is absolutely perfect for a film like this. Overall I can’t really recommend this film… Sure the first 50 minutes or so are extremely cool to watch, but the romantic smudge in the middle really destroys what’s left of the film. Perhaps die hard Bikesploitation fans are able to overlook the middle part… But if you are unfamiliar with this genre this isn’t a good place to start.

THEME TIME!

2006-05-25T08:49:00.000-07:00

My goal with Repulsive Cinema is to explore all of the sub-genres within exploitation and drive-in trash. So I’ve decided to try something new; theme reviews...

For my first review theme, I’ve chosen the wonderful genre of Bikesploitaion!

Fast motorcycles, big beards, angry drunk men and a whole lot of exhaust. This genre has it all, so stay tuned as I mount my motorcycle and write my reviews on wheels!

THE MIGHTY GORGA

2006-05-14T07:07:00.000-07:00

Move over Godzilla ... Here comes the greatest horror monster alive!

Mark Remington runs a circus in the USA with live animals and other attractions. But he has a problem, a big conglomerate wants to buy his circus and make it a part of a chain of circuses. The conglomerate has already bought his main attraction, witch Mark needs if he wants to keep his customers and his circus. In search of a new attraction he suddenly recalls his wild animal’s supplier, Tonga Jack Addams in Africa, who mentioned something about an overgrown gorilla that dwells in the deep jungles of Africa. In a desperate attempt to find the gorilla Mark immediately takes of to meet his supplier and arrange an expedition into the unexplored deeps of the African jungle. But when he arrives he finds out that Tonga Jack is missing, in fact he’s been missing for six months. So instead he meets Tonga’s daughter April, who runs his animal compound while her father is still out there somewhere in the jungle. But she has a problem, Tonga Jack’s old partner Dan Morgan wants to buy her compound to eliminate the competition, and will do everything in his power to make things a living hell for her. After helping April out with some money related issues, Mark persuades her to join him on the safari to look for the giant gorilla. She quickly decides to join, to help him find the gorilla, and to try to find her father, who set out looking for the very same gorilla and a fabled treasure six months earlier. Well on their way into the jungle they come across some poles with skulls on them. The tribesmen they have hired to help them carry supplies immediately say that they are afraid and will not go further. So the safari is shortened down to Mark and April who ventures deeper into the jungle until they reach a plateau. Could this be the very same plateau that Tonga Jack mentioned when he was talking about the treasure or the giant gorilla? When Mark and April reach the top of the plateau they find a strange and hauntingly beautiful world that seems unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs… But witch horrors lie in wait deep in that prehistoric green hell?

First of all… This movie is so extremely not impressive that I just have to be impressed! The special effects in this movie will blow your mind, because this little baby has everything; A cheap ass gorilla suit that probably didn’t cost more than a buck or two, the absolute worst wobble-headed-fake-plastic-toy dinosaur in the history of motion pictures! It’s an awesome spectacle of B movie art! The film, directed by David L. Hewitt (Monsters Crash the Pajama Party) is actually not so bad when it comes to the parts with out the “special” effects. It’s actually quite exiting and well made, and the direction is quite good. You almost get the feeling that you are watching a real movie, until (supposedly) Hewitt himself in the hilarious gorilla suit turns up and carefully jumps around a bit, while some witchdoctor is mumbling prayers and begging the great Gorga for mercy. Hewitt himself is perhaps best known for his efforts as a special effects creator for Disney (Surprised? Me neither!). I expected the acting in this one to be very bad and awkward, but it wasn’t that bad, except for the black tribesmen who obviously where some white American guys with bad wigs and a little shoe polish in their face... But this little romp of a B movie is so awkwardly bad it’s charming in a weird kind of way, so if you are a connoisseur of extra strong cheese, or looking for a good laugh with some friends, this baby won’t disappoint you.

STING OF DEATH

2006-05-05T07:05:00.000-07:00

Special Singing Star Neil Sedaka!

The swamps of the Florida Everglades have always fascinated me; it seems like such a beautiful place, filled with rich and interesting wildlife.And maverick director William Grefe chose, in 1965, to make his first horror feature in these Everglades; "Sting of Death".

Karen Richardson and four of her friends goes on a midterm vacation to the Everglades to spend the time at her father’s place.
Deep in the swamps her father, Dr. Richardson, and his assistant Dr. John Hoyt, both of them marine biologists, are studying the local marine wildlife. Normally a quiet and peaceful job, but lately they have been busy helping out the local police department with the mysterious disappearance of a Fisherman in the area, and some equipment has also been stolen from Dr. Richardson’s lab.
When Karen and her Friends are getting ready for a big party, the Sheriff arrives with some bad news. It seems that the missing fisherman has turned up dead, and the Sheriff wants Dr. Richardson’s opinion on the cause of death.
Dr. Richardson comes to the conclusion that the injuries on the body of the fisherman resemble the same wounds one might get from a Portuguese Man-O'-War jellyfish. But the wounds appear to be made by an enormous specimen of the Jellyfish, and this particular jellyfish doesn’t grow much larger than eight inches.
But Egon, the two doctor’s personal assistant and handyman does not agree. He has a theory that the Portuguese Man-O'-War can grow even larger than the one that could have made the wounds, and that the jellyfish can be cultivated while they are in captivity. The two Doctors reject Egon’s theories, as he is only a handyman, and not a marine biologist like them.

But it seems like Egon might be correct after all, and it doesn’t take long before the Teenagers and the two doctors are in terrible peril.
It seems that good old Egon, who is being bullied constantly by almost everyone except Karen, has a horrible dark secret.
And where is Egon when people are being attacked by a huge Jellyfish-like creature when they wander carelessly away from the rest?
Where is Egon when a boat load of teenagers gets tipped over in the swamp and all the teenagers die horribly by several baby jellyfish?...

William Grefe’s drive-in classic from 1965 is a hilarious cheese filled ride of a horror film.
The plot itself is amazingly absurd, and many of the actors are overplaying, but there are many good qualities about the film.
Most of the location scenes for example are beautifully shot and are full of The Everglade’s vivid colours.
And the plot, however absurd and weird it is, is sort of catchy and exiting.

One of the most memorable scenes in this film is without a doubt the infamous 'Jellyfish dance' sequence with the extremely funky song by Neil Sedaka.
For almost five minutes all the kids are dancing to this hilarious tune and Grefe keeps giving us close-ups of the girls doing their butt shaking. Beautiful!

The horribly bad jellyfish effect, mostly made out of a diving suit and inflated plastic bags, just adds to the cheesy goodness of this film.
One might start thinking of "Creature from the Black Lagoon" when you hear the plot of the movie, but this film has little in common with the old universal flick, and this is probably the world’s first and only jellyfish monster movie!
So "Sting of Death" is recommended for those of you who are looking for some good old drive-in fun or just a cheesy monster movie.

BARE BEHIND BARS

2006-04-30T06:19:00.000-07:00

Bare Behind Bars (1980) aka - “A Prisao”

Dir: Oswaldo De Oliveira

Cast:
Maria Stella Splendore
Marta Anderson (“Massacre in Dinosaur Valley”)
Danielle Ferrite
Neide Ribeiro

Warden Sylvia (Maria Stella Splendore) may rarely, like her staff, have her blouse buttoned up, but she does know how to run a nasty little female prison.
She also has a nice little sideline where the most comely women are sold off to rich lesbians!
The glamorous Miss Dinora is the latest client, and the unfortunate Betty the sex slave of choice.

The Warden’s second in command is the ambitious Sandra, who is getting more and more concerned with the abuse dished out to the prisoners as well as the Warden’s increased sadism.

When Inez Andrea (who murdered her lecherous Step-Father) arrives at the prison she arrogantly flaunts herself at the guards, gets the other women increasingly rebellious and cleverly becomes the love toy of Warden Sylvia, all the while hatching an escape plan…

To many Exploitation fans in the UK, “Bare Behind Bars” is best known for being the film that the ‘Redemption’ video label owner, Nigel Wingrove, took the BBFC to Court over when they refused the film a certificate, thus stopping him distributing it in Britain.
Sadly Wingrove lost the case and “Bare Behind Bars” still remains unreleased in the UK.
Luckily though the magical world of the Internet means that the film can still be found (uncut) from sources not subject to BBFC whims.
But does this Brazilian entry into the Women in Prison genre really live up to it’s reputation?

The film certainly gets off to a fun and trashy start with a mass hosing down of the unruly inmates after one is stabbed in the back. Women are dragged down the corridors by their hair and many beatings follow before the camera zooms in on the hole in the stabbed girl’s back juts as a rather unexpected piece of sleazy jazz leads us into the stark black on red titles. It’s a classic WIP exploitation opening.

The film does have a very schizophrenic nature though as it can’t seem to decide if it’s going for a serious attitude to it’s sleazy goings on or a high camp one. As such it tends to fall between the two stools.
The main source of camp hilarity comes in the nubile, but completely dipsy, form of Nurse Barbara who (when not getting tripped-out on the surgery‘s ether supplies!) likes to seduce her patients and sniff her latex gloves after crotch examinations.
She also has no idea about medicine which is shown in a less than hysterical comedy moment when she tries to take a patient’s blood pressure by wrapping the inflatable band around their neck!
In fact throughout the entire film Nurse Barbara is a less than stellar advertisement for the intelligence of blondes!

In a film packed with amusing sights it‘s hard to pick favourites but two of the best are a close up of two arses rubbing against each other, which then pulls back to reveal that the owner of one of the sets of cheeks is Nurse Barbara, who’s biting into a water melon slice as if it were something rather more phallic (with her little nurses hat still on of course, after all she IS a professional) and the other is a wonderful sequence of a guard in the corridor getting rubbed-up nicely by a prisoner (the hand’s coming through the door’s food slot ), and then the camera pulls away to reveal the other women winching a strap-on dildo across the corridor, on some string, to the cells opposite!
Scenes like these are so delightfully cheesy and overblown that all they raise in the male viewer is smiles. Erotic they are not, fun they most definitely are.

The other source of wackiness is the dialogue.
Passionate exchanges like this one between Nurse Barbara and her latest flame are the level of sophistication you can expect;
Patient: “Ahhh…You’re driving me crazy”!
Nurse: “You have a wonderful body, I love how it responds when I touch it”.
There’s also a great moment with The Warden who, after a night of passion with Inez Andrea, is sporting a sexual hangover (!) “That girl almost killed me! She has the endurance of a cat. It went on all night, I’m exhausted”!

And when the actual dialogue isn’t camping it up the dubbing of it is.
This dubbing reaches new lows when one guy (in a Brazilian slum!) comes out with a Hillbilly accent so strong he should really be sitting in a rocking chair on his porch watching his 10 identically ugly kids fight over the grits while his Wife/Sister Mary Lou gives birth to child number 11.
Even the sex scenes do not escape this dubbing hell and most are accompanied by moans and groans so over the top they sound like something from a straight forward porn flick.
Given the movie’s title we expect a lot of bare flesh (as well as a lot of bars) and sure enough Director Oswaldo De Oliveira provides wall to wall nudity. And sleaze. And more nudity. And then a bit more sleaze to round off the rest of the nudity nicely.
And with all this nudity it’s thankful that the women are all very appealing and all have wonderfully natural bodies. None of that Californian porn video production line, silicon ‘Barbie Doll’, rubbish here thank you very much! Here we have breasts and arses of various shapes and sizes and mucho pubic hair on display. And the world is a better place for it!

We have the essential shower scenes of course and various naked medical sequences but the main nudity comes via the multitude of sex scenes.
We have one-on-one sessions, three way crotch groping and dildo fun (including what must be cinema’s only dildo carved out of a pineapple) and the already weak plot completely vanishes to accommodate all this writhing flesh.
A lot of these scenes also come and go in rapid succession, often completely randomly, before disappearing again and the camera spends a lot of the time zooming into hairy pubic regions and wiggling backsides.
This island of Lesbos is not all wall to wall fur though, as there is also a randy delivery guy who gets in on the action by seducing the guards with his oh so sexy way of stocking up the storeroom.

“Bare Behind Bars” goes even further with it’s content though… Hardcore sex.
Although not strictly inserts, as well as featuring the actual actresses from the main bulk of the film, these hardcore scenes are basically separated from the body of the movie, thus making them suitably easy to remove for different international markets.
Most of these scenes (nearly all shot in the same storeroom) are also backed with a totally inappropriate bit of laid back lounge jazz just to make the entire enterprise even more off the wall.
These hardcore sequences include dildo penetration, muff nibbling and penis suckling (though what a frightfully flaccid member it seems to be) and add a welcome bit of full-on sleaze to the often more comical softcore scenes.

The movie spends most of it’s running time in the prison but now and again Oswaldo De Oliveira breaks away to show Miss Dinora and the often reluctant Betty frolicking on a beach (a weird way to shoe-horn back in the otherwise forgotten sub-plot about the selling of the women) and this at least moves the movie away from dank, visually cloying, walls of the prison, and later on he opens up the film even more and it’s actually better for it as it adds a bit of life and colour to the proceedings.
Here we also get some more hardcore, this time featuring erections and penetration, although one erection does not last long, slips out, and nearly gets put back in the wrong hole. Ouch!
And what Freud would have said about this sequence suddenly going to a shot of a woman washing a lettuce clean I dread to think!

Unlike most WIP films the violence here is actually rather tame, with the genre’s essential punishments consisting of weak beatings with floppy sticks and being tied to a water drenched table with wire mesh, all the while being beaten with one of those floppy sticks of course!
But there is a genuinely unpleasant sequence later on (although bloodless, until the grizzly aftermath) that suddenly destroys our opinion of some of the women, and it’s a rare moment when the screenplay actually does something narratively interesting, other than provide copious sex and nudity.
In fact the entire last quarter shows more actual plotting than the rest of the film combined before it reaches the abrupt finale.

The acting is hard to judge given the dubbing, but the blonde and sexy Maria Stella Splendore does a good enough job as the horny Warden and looks damn fine naked. But it has to be said she’s no Dyane Thorne when it comes to portraying her character’s sadism. Ilsa would eat Warden Sylvia (in more ways than one) for breakfast.
The actress playing second in command Sandra is also a striking looking woman and her angry, extreme close-up, staring contests with Splendore’s Warden are hysterically overblown.

All in all then “Bare Behind Bars” certainly delivers the sex and sleaze it’s title promises and sprinkles it liberally with high camp dialogue and bad taste comedic situations (some intentionally amusing, some not) and even adds a bit of seriousness later on. But it’s still a rather drab creation thanks to the ugly setting (which I suppose is the point) and Oliveira’s less than enthusiastic direction, he provides the exploitative sights but not much passion in their presentation.
But for the sheer amount of sex and sleaze it delivers it’s impossible not to recommend “Bare Behind Bars” to any fan of Exploitation movies.

BLOOD FREAK

2006-04-15T07:05:00.000-07:00

Only the blood of drug addicts can satisfy the thirst of the blood freak monster!

Herschell comes driving down the road on his motorcycle. He gets checked out by a young girl driving a convertible, they stop and immediately hit it off, and together they drive onwards down the road. They end up at the girl’s sister’s house, where her sister Anne and her “far out” friends are doing hard drugs and having a blast. But neither Herschell nor the young girl is into the “drug scene”. We soon find out that the girl, Angel, is a bona fide bible freak, and she is not shy about expressing her love for the J-man. It seems that Herschell is also heavy into the Christian stuff, and it doesn’t take long before he and Angel is discussing everything from adultery to the “love of God”. Angel’s sister is very jealous of Angel and wants Herschell to stay and fun with her and her friends. So when Herschell decides to go with Angel, she gets pissed off. She talks to a friend at the party, and he gives her some very addictive drugs for her to give to Herschell.

Angel brings Herschell home to meet her father who immediately grows fond of the young man. He offers Herschell a job at his poultry farm. He accepts the offer and decides to stay with Angel and her father. While fixing a pool, Herschell gets a visit from Anne who quickly lights up a joint. Anne tells Herschell; “How can a big hunk of man be such a damned coward?” Herschell is quick to reply that he is not a coward and takes a long hard puff of her joint. It doesn’t take long before he’s hooked on the stuff, and starts to hang out with Anne and her Friends.

The next day Herschell is off to the poultry farm to start his new job. His job will be to help out two weird guys in the farm’s lab. They offer him some extra money and some freebee drugs if he helps them out with their experiments. The experiments are a new turkey meat that He is going to eat to see if there are any side effects. Later that night we see that Herschell is starting to have some withdrawal symptoms from the drugs Anne has been giving him. Early next morning He starts his meat testing job and it seems to be quite good. But soon after, the side effects begin show. His body (head) transforms into a horrible freak of nature. A turkey monster (!) who feeds on the warm, fresh blood of drug addicts.

Brad Grinter and Steve Hawkes Blood Freak is one of those insanely weird movies one just has to see. The plot itself is incredibly stupid and it is filled with Christian morale that doesn’t work at all. The movie is probably shot on 16mm and has a weird, gritty homemade feel over it. The acting is well… There is no acting in this film, and at times the “actors” tries so hard I get embarrassed just looking at them. There is also a vague attempt to give the film some depth by hinting that the whole turkey monster incident was just Herschel’s hallucinations. Was it just hallucinations or did it really happen… Or am I giving Grinter & Co too much credit? Oh Well…

All through the movie director Brad Grinter interrupts the film to read up some speeches that he himself most definitely wrote. The speeches are long and incredibly incoherent, and he tries desperately to get his Christian message out through these intermissions. And I’ve never seen a man smoke as hard as old man Grinter does during his on camera time, he basically lights up a new smoke with the previous one. The most priceless scene in the movie is Grinter’s last speech. As he is talking about the dangers of society or something he suddenly starts to cough a bit. He seems ok, so he continues to talk until his smoking and the first little cough develops into a full blown coughing fit! All in front of the camera, who doesn’t shy away from the coughing old director. This is most likely one of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen that wasn’t intentional. Unfortunately there isn’t as much gore in this film as one might expect, but where it lacks blood and gore it makes up for it by being one of the wackiest, weirdest films ever made! Required viewing for fans of the weird and unusual!

THE BLACK GESTAPO

2006-03-01T12:00:00.000-08:00

They are the Ghetto Warriors... some call them The Black Gestapo

Welcome to Watts! A neighbourhood where a vicious gang of white mobsters rule the area with an iron fist, and extortion, prostitution and drug dealing has overrun the little community. But on the other side is General Ahmed’s Black People’s Army, a militant group set out to defend the rights of the black people in Watts, as well as financing hospitals and feeding the poor. When one of the black nurses at the People’s Army hospital gets brutally assaulted and raped by one of the henchmen of the white gangsters, an all out race war starts. Colonel Kojah, one of the top men of the Black People’s Army, sets out to recruit new members of a special black unit, a unit with the sole purpose of extracting a harsh vengeance on the white mobsters. And after several violent battles between Kojah’s unit and the white gangsters, Kojah finally wins the war and the mobsters are forced out of Watts. But soon the power gets to Kojah, giving him the idea of starting his own militant group, “The Black Gestapo”. But what happens when the Black Gestapo begins to do the same damage on the community as the white mobsters with violence, extortion, prostitution and drug dealing? It’s up to General Ahmed of The Black People’s Army to take matters into his own hands, creating an all-out gang war between the two militant black groups!

Director Lee Frost’s take on the Blacksploitation genre is an extremely violent, exhilarating and funky one. Frost tries to incorporate some references to Nazi Germany in this film, making it even more hilarious and over the top. The new black militant group gets new uniforms witch are exactly the same as the SS used during WW2. In scenes where “The Black Gestapo” cries out vengeance with raised fists, Frost overdubs the sound with sounds of German soldiers chanting Sieg Heil. It’s all so deliciously political incorrect that it’s brilliant. Lee Frost himself appears as one of the henchmen of the white mobsters and genre favourite Uschi Digard also has a small role where she gets to show of the two things she is most famous for. This movie never seems to stop up to take a breath, all the time creating new conflicts between the characters and keeping the mood funky and entertaining. The fast paced action is well directed and becomes even more bad-ass accompanied by catchy and funky soul music. The film features everything a good exploitation flick should have like inventive violence, nudity and a plotline that’s wonderfully politically incorrect and way out there! Perhaps one of the better exploitation films out there, this baby should be required viewing for exploitation fans everywhere! And remember: You haven’t seen bad-ass before you’ve seen The Black Gestapo! You won’t be disappointed!

HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN

2006-02-12T05:50:00.000-08:00

You've never seen more! Let us prove it to you when the monsters meet the girls!

Meet Granny Good, who runs a correction school for girls who needs more discipline. Old granny Good also has her private distillery in her basement where she makes booze with help from her good friend the wolfman, who’s pissed off because he’s underpaid and exploited by old Mrs. Good. The trouble begins at the school when the new girl Prudence arrives at the school. Prudence starts to snoop around, and Granny soon gets somewhat suspicious about her intentions for being on her school. But for a couple of days the days goes on as usual: Reading, and a lot of topless exercise.
One of the following days there’s going to be a big costume party at the school, so everybody starts to prepare for it. But old granny has enough to think about with her disgruntled werewolf friend and Prudence, who’s still snooping around and acting fishy. When the party finally starts, the fun begins. Even Granny Good’s old friends Dracula and the Frankenstein monster drops by to have a good time with the half naked girls, and to spike up the punch!

This delightful nudie cutie, or Monster Nudie if you will, has Bob Cresse, credited here as “The Loveable” Bob Cresse, starring as Granny Good. Cresse is probably most known for producing numerous sexploitation films in the late 60s, but Cresse does a fairly good job as the loveable little Granny and he’s is genuinely funny throughout the movie. The film was directed by Lee Frost who is also probably better known for his career within the Sexploitation genre, with movies like Mondo Bizarro, Black Gestapo and Zero in and Scream. Many of the films Frost directed were produced by Cresse, and House on Bare Mountain was the first movie they made together, and also the first movie made by Lee Frost. This movie was made in 1962, riding the wave of monster madness in the US, so it’s fun to see how exploitation directors making the most of people’s interest in monster movies like Dracula and Frankenstein. Some of the humor in the film fails miserably as it is somewhat outdated and extremely corny, like this little quote from granny Good herself: “She come from a broken home, it fell from the top of a cliff”. But on the other hand, some of the humor in the film actually works, and the light tone in the film will probably make you smile. The other great thing about this film, or any other Nudie Cutie, is that this kind of movie isn’t made today, and it’s great to see erotic entertainment before it all became more serious “soft core” or even hardcore. Even director Lee Frost went on to making harder sexploitation movies later in his career. So house on Bare Mountain is an entertaining little erotic movie from a bygone era, and it is well worth a look if you are interested in the early days of exploitation. So this is a fun little film that will get you in a good mood, and if you like monsters and nude girls you can’t go wrong with this little cutie!

EVIL COME, EVIL GO

2006-01-28T08:57:00.000-08:00

No man is safe from the "Preacherwoman" - she's a Man-Hating, Hymn-Humming Hell Cat!

Religious fanatics are creepy, especially Christians who believes so strongly on their god that they are willing to do anything to spread their message, and when it comes to Sister Sarah Jane I do mean anything. The movie Evil Come Evil Go revolves around the life of Sister Sarah Jane who believes that sexual encounters just for pleasure is the biggest sin one can commit, especially if it is a man. She roams around with her accordion and sings religious hymns to spread her message and she picks up unsuspicious men and kills them for her cause. One day Sarah Jane finds a soul mate so to speak, a young lesbian girl called Penny, who also believes strongly that sex for pleasure is the ultimate sin, and penny also believes strongly on just about anything that Sarah Jane tells her to believe. And after a rite to prove that she is worthy to help Sister Sarah to rid the earth of men, the fun can begin. Penny picks up a small guy somewhere and seduces him for a little while until Sarah Jane comes in and stabs the guy to death, when they get home Sarah spots Penny’s tenants in the garden making sweet music just for the hell of it. And after a good long shot of this couple getting it on, Penny (With a tambourine) and Sarah comes out in the garden and begin to sing lovely hymns and talking about the how horrible they are for having sex just for fun.

This little sexploitation film is very fun to watch, and it delivers just what it promises; sex and gore. The gore scenes work well with the rest of the movie, but there is more emphasis on the sex in this film. The sex scenes are a bit harder than soft-core with regular close ups of both male and female genitalia, and the regular sexploitation viewer will find these scenes both arousing and entertaining. The acting here is below average most of the time, although Cleo O’hara is very good in the leading role as Sister Sarah Jane. Director Walt Davis also briefly appears in this film as one of the many victims of Sister Sarah, and the legendary John Holmes also has a brief cameo in the film.

Overall Evil Come Evil Go is a good 70s sexploitation film that has the most important ingredients that the genre requires. Well worth a look if you are into sexploitation films.

THE BEAST THAT KILLED WOMEN

2006-01-22T15:59:00.000-08:00

Terror stalks the nudists!

The Beast that Killed Women started my decent into the twisted world of Something Weird video and their sick sixties exploitation flicks. Having read little to nothing about this movie, I sat down with an open mind and watched the double feature that would get me hooked on Something Weird video.
The Beast that killed women is a little movie form the late sixties about nudists and their beloved nudist colony. The movie follows a couple that just recently became nudists and their little trip to the Nudist camp, where they bathe, play volleyball and frolic in the sun. But the quiet harmony gets broken that very evening when, suddenly out of nowhere a gorilla gets into the camp and starts attacking the nudists. This is bad news for the owner of the camp, since most of his customers don’t want to hang around where the gorilla is stalking, and after a second attack, the nudist flee from the camp and only the police are left to solve the mystery of the unexplainable gorilla. By interrogating a man who was thrown in a pond by the gorilla, the police are getting some valuable clues. They decide to use a police woman as bait for the hideous monster, to try to capture and kill the gorilla… Will the nudist colony ever be the same?

This is a fun little movie that is very entertaining, but unfortunately (or is it) the movie focuses more on the nude women that’s having fun in the sun than the guy in the terrible gorilla suit. Well…This isn’t a bad ting really, but the disappointing thing is: There are only two kills in this movie! I was hoping for more gorilla fuelled action and a little bit of violence. But no…There are more nude women (Nude in the sense that you only get to see their breasts and butt) in this picture than everything else. But if you are like me, and can’t get enough of those unexplainable gorillas, you should check out this little movie.
