Street Trash(1987)

The owner of a liquor store finds a dusty box of really cheap wine called Tenafly Viper in a crawlspace. He then begins to sell it off at a dollar a bottle. The cheap wine is obviously bad but sells it to the local hobo's anyway. Little did he know, that everyone who drinks it melts almost instantaneously. This film was originally supposed to offend everyone, but it became a favorite for midnight viewings.


This cult classic has recently been released by Synapse Films twice. The first release had really awesome Tenafly Viper labels, with almost nothing else except a trailer and some notes. The newer Special Meltdown edition has a new documentary and interviews with the cast and crew. This films effects are just amazing.


The people bubble and melt down spewing purple and green goo. Keep a look out for random breast shots also. Who knew a movie about melting liqour could be one of the greatest horror-comedies of the 80's. Watching people melt into a shitty toilet, what could possibly be wrong with this film?

Irreversible(2002)

This, bar none, is the most depressing movie I have ever been unfortunate enough to see. The film plays “Memento” style. The movie opens with two men talking in a cell (The characters from Gasper Noe’s other film, I Stand Alone) about how the one had sex with his daughter, and then the film continues with the ending.

A scene that I cannot, No, Will not talk about because when you see it, I want you to be as horrified as I was. After that, the film plays in reverse chronological order, with the film ending with the beginning of the story. It is a story about Rape, revenge, and redemption. The film unflinchingly has a rape scene, in all its graphic brutality that lasts for more than nine minutes. The camera styles that this French Auteur uses are remarkable.

This movie cares about its characters but has no pity for them. WARNING: Do not watch if you get easily offended or if your morale values are too high. The soundtrack consists of eerie groans, crowded streets, and chaos. Monica Belluci’s role is heartbreaking in this film.

She is such a beautiful woman, its horrible to see such brutality happen to her. Vincent Cassel, the anti-hero, is Belluci’s actual husband so there is a form of realism between them. This film is, a horrible, disgusting, honest movie. Do not watch if you are in the throes of sadness.

Pieces(1982)

While playing with a puzzle, a teenager is repressed by his mother, and he kills her and severs her body with an ax. Forty years later, in an university campus in Boston, a serial killer kills young women and severs their bodies in parts, stealing body pieces from each student. Lt. Bracken (Christopher George) makes a deal with the dean of the campus, and infiltrates the agent Mary Riggs (Lynda Day George) as if she were a tennis teacher and together with the student Kendall (Ian Sera), they try to find the identity of the killer.

Pieces is not a very good movie by any means. Is it watchable? Well possibly once or twice but its far from a masterpieces. The actings is very weak, the film is dubbed over so it seems that the acting is even cheesier than it is in the native language. Everything seems over acted and people don’t really seem to worried about the grizzly chainsaw murders that have been happing.

As for the gore, did this shock and disgust people in the 80’s? The gore is really weak in this film, nothing really too special about it. There is not a whole bunch of it either.

You think possibly there could be a whole bunch of T&A(tits and asses) to save the movie well, there is some mild T&A not a ton, but it is extremely hard to see due to the film looking like complete shit.

Wait after the all of this the dvd release must be decent, right? No, this film is not easy on the eyes; the picture is really blurry and has a lot of scratches on the film. Mainly because it was just a copy of the VHS, yet when it says on the back of the DVD case that it was re-mastered, ha.

Cannibal Ferox(1981)

For what they have done MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY. Umberto Lenzi's Cannibal Ferox is said to be banned in 31 country's and be the most violent film ever made. It is very far from being the most violent film ever made, it is your typical Italian cheese film. With that it is an extremely fun film to watch. Plus the film uses the word "twat" a lot so that alone makes it a winner in my book.

Cannibal Ferox is about a brother sister duo along with there friend(the twat) that are traveling to the Amazon to displace the myth that cannibalism happens as an organized practice. In the jungle they meet two drug dealers that have been attacked by cannibals. They team up to try to leave to escape the jungle to not meet the wrath of the cannibals. They find out that Mike(played by John Morgan aka Giovanni Lombardo Radice) lied about them getting attacked by cannibals, when they really they attacked the tribe.

There is some pretty cool gore scenes in Cannibal Ferox. You get some hooks threw the tittays to some typical cannibal movies castrations. This movie is a classic I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a fun viewing experience.

Pig(1998)

Rozz Williams and Nico B.'s Pig is a black and white short film depicting the relationship between a killer and his victim unleashing a storm of mutilation, torture, and strangely, a bonding connection between those very two objects in the film. The film itself isn't by any means a normal picture in either the horror or art genres but it most certainly does tell an unsettling story that I'm sure many individuals could relate to watching the 23 minute short. The entire movie is metaphorical and unrealistic but it does contain some explicit homo-erotic themes along with nudity and sadomasochistic acts that maybe difficult for some people to watch.

First and for most, I'd like to point out that all of the S&M torture in the film is real, all the blood and cutting with the razor which plays a big role in the whole morale and point of the film. While it is based off personal demons the co-director and man responsible for the film being made, Rozz Williams(who killed himself shortly after the film was made), it is still a very watchable movie for everyone. It has a a considerate amount of gore even though the mutilation is real(but how much blood can a human shed, really?), it has a great style in the art department including 2 great settings, the hell-degreed desert of death valley and an old beaten up house which a serial killer of the nature examined in this film could very well live in, and this is one of the few short films I have witnessed that could be taken any way depending on the viewer. The interpretation on this particular short could be taken depending on the viewers personal demons or philosophic nature just like Rozz intended. It's a gore film that make you think yourself scared which is horror at it's best!

As for the actual dvd, theres only one release which is by Cult Epics which is also numbered and limited so the price range of the dvd is around 45-55 USD, not to say that isn't a reasonable price. The dvd is crammed full of extras including commentaries by Nico B., an extra super 8-mm test short, a Rozz Williams tribute video(on account of his suicide), Rozz's suicide note, the book used in the film made by Rozz Williams entitled "Why God Permits Evil", and a few other goodies. Overall it's an expensive but well worth it package.

Men Behind the Sun(1988)

Unit 731 was an Japanese covert medical experiment unit in WWII mainly focusing on biological weapons. They used prisoners as test subject. There experiments would range from being placed in to high pressure chambers until death to being starved from food and water to see how long a human could survive. Mou Tun Fei's film Men Behind the Sun shows you what happened in Unit 731 with out holding any thing back.

Men Behind the Sun tells the story from many different perspectives in the movie. It focuses on the youth squad of Unit 731, but it also shows the high ups and the prisoners. This film basically documents some of the experiments they did on the prisoners. It also shows what happens at the end of the war and how they had to destroy Unit 731 so that it would never be know what happened there.

This film is not for the faint heart. It has excellent effects, but there is an autopsy in the movie of a little Chinese boy that is not effects, its all real. There is also a cat being eaten alive by hundred's of rats, so if real and/or animal death disturb you stay away from this film. Men Behind the Sun is a very powerful film, I recommend it strongly. But keep in mind this all really happened.

Cannibal Holocaust(1980)

Made nearly 30 years ago, we have Ruggero Deodato's infamous cult classic "Cannibal Holocaust". This film is still shocking people with its brutal deaths or real animal slaughters. Shot on location in New York and the Amazon, it has visually stunning locations.

A film crew heads out to the Amazon to film a documentary about cannibalism. The crew murders and rapes the cannibal tribes to get the best shot possible, this is what leads to there demise. After months of not having any contact with the crew a search team is assembled to look for the missing crew. The search team is leaded by the Dean of Anthropology at New York University, Dr. Harold Monroe. As they are in the jungle looking for the crew they see the cannibals with possessions that belonged to the crew. Once they see the film canisters the smart Dr. Harold Monroe(played by porn star Robert Kertman) trades the film for a voice recorder. When they are back in New York they review what footage was shot, because they were going to edit it together and shot a tv documentary. When they are done with the film, they destroy it because of the unbelievable content on it.

Cannibal Holocaust is the film that got me in to horror, and still is one of my favorite films. The film is extremely savage, with amazing effects. If the animal violence kept you from watching the film in the past, now you can pick up the dvd released by Grindhouse Releasing, it has an "Animal Cruelty Free Version" that goes black before every animal death.



Some douche bag at Relevant Entertainment Group decided it would be a good idea to remake this film. This is an outrage, there is no way this film could even be remade today. It would be a steaming pile of shit.

Niku daruma (1998)

Niku darum also knows as Psycho: The Snuff Reels, also known as Tumbling Doll Of Flesh. There are many titles for this film but no matter what you decide to call it, we all can agree on one thing, this is an extremely brutal and sadistic film. Ignore the Japanese's pixelation around the crotch(of both male and female), and you are in a treat for a great pseudo-snuff film.

The film starts off as a normal porno shoot with a girl coming in and getting banged, your typically porno. After this they proceed to start doing a bondage scene, you think this is where things would go bad but no. At the end of the shoot they are all just hanging out and eating noodle(what a surprise) . When the girl tries to leave the house she is greeted with a baseball bat to the head and is instantly knocked out. She wakes up tied up to a bed with a bandage around the head, the men decide to reduce her to an "Tumbling Doll of Flesh".

Niku daruma can have its boring parts, the first half of the movie is just a porno with no blood or fun. One thing about the film that may bother some people is that the film is all in Japaneses and has no subtitles, but then again this film doest really need to be heard to understood what is going on. It is rare that you would find the original Japaneses VHS, so keep your eyes out of a cheap DVD-R bootleg of this to check it out.
