Bloodsucking Freaks

Perfesser Deviant — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:03:47 +0000

Sardu (Seamus O'Brien) and his dwarf assistant Ralphus (Luis De Jesus) run an off-off-Broadway show that appears to be in the Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol tradition mixed with a sex show, but is different in one important fashion: it's real. Yes, essentially, Sardu and his crew mutilates and / or kills naked women on stage to entertain jaded New Yorkers who assume it's fake … or wish it wasn't? Regardless, Sardu has delusions of grandeur and believes that he's more than a simple pornographer / slaver / murderer … that's not that simple, is it? … and wishes to create the great American sadistic erotic ballet...

Actor Lance Henriksen highlights and documents moments from his acting career.

Bloodmoon

Perfesser Deviant — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 01:10:56 +0000

A serial killer is stalking boys and girls in Coopers Bay, somewhere along the Australian coast. Other than its location – which, aside from accents and steering wheels is indistinguishable from 80s Southern California – this is really just a mostly-routine slasher with all the requisite skin, violence, and loopiness that makes them so beloved by teens and adults who've come to appreciate – or deprecate – them for their excesses....

Private Benjamin

Perfesser Deviant — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:49:22 +0000

Spoiled Jewish American princess Judy Benjamin (Goldie Hawn) loses her husband Yale (Albert Brooks) on their wedding night and has trouble dealing with it. Her dream of a perfect life as the wife of a successful man hasn't worked out because her first husband was a loser, this one dies, and she doesn't know what to do, but she gets some advice from a radio call-in show from United States Army recruiter Sergeant Jim Ballard (Harry Dean Stanton). So he talks her into joining the Army, a move that doesn't really fit her too well....

Dead Weight

Deviation

Vomitron — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:27:07 +0000

José Ramón Larraz is quite the interesting duckling of Spanish horror & exploitation cinema. From his early sensual psycho-thrillers from the '70s to his more genre-flavored '80s horror efforts. His 1988 slasher outing 'Edge Of The Axe' is another film that would qualify for a terrific entry in this Shock Endings series. But since we recently managed to watch one of his very first films, one to end on a mental frozen shock moment no less, that's the one we'll be talking about.

The Thing with Two Heads

Perfesser Deviant — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:01:54 +0000

Brilliant scientist and surgeon Dr. Maxwell Kirshner (Ray Milland) is dying of cancer and hopes to transplant his still-healthy head onto another body. Enter death-row inmate Jack Moss (Roosevelt 'Rosey' Grier) who's willing to provide the much-needed body because he's certain that he'll be exonerated shortly. Unfortunately, Maxwell is a raging racist, as we see in his poor treatment of talented young black doctor Dr. Fred Williams (Don Marshall), so now he's got a chip on his shoulder, so to speak....

Spasms

Wealthy huntsman Jason Kincaid (Oliver Reed) once had an encounter with an exotic demon snake creature. He survived the ordeal. As if the beast frequently haunting his feverish nightmares isn't enough of an everlasting suffering, the actual demon serpent is now on its way to Kincaid's hometown. Soon, not only a university endorsed psychology professor but also a snake-woshipping cult and celebrated TV-actress Kerrie Keane will take an interest in the oversized demonic critter. What on earth is this movie about?

Child of Glass

Perfesser Deviant — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:29:55 +0000

The Armsworth family – mom Emily (Barbara Barrie), dad Joe (Biff McGuire), sister Connie Sue (Denise Nickerson) and brother Alexander (Steve Shaw) – move out to the Dumaine plantation house somewhere in the South. The family likes the place, but the son finds that it came equipped with loony neighbor Amory Timmons (Anthony Zerbe) and ghost girl Inez Dumaine (Olivia Barash). Inez needs Alexander's help...

Hangman’s Curse

Perfesser Deviant — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:27:06 +0000

The Springfield family – father Nate (David Keith), mother Sarah (Mel Harris), sister Elisha (Leighton Meester) and son Elijah (Douglas Smith) – work for the Veritas Project or something solving difficult cases. Now, aside from the fact that the feds would never hire a whole family – especially one in which the parents were such tools that they give their kids identical-sounding names – these folks seem about as professional as an abortionist with blood in his hair. They're sent in to a school to investigate why the football team is dying after screaming that a former student who hanged himself – Abel Frye (George Humphreys) – is coming for them. Luckily this family of WASPs will help solve a mystery with the help of their dog named Scooby Doo (William Shakesbear). Actually, the dog is named 'Max', but this feels about the level of an episode of Scooby Doo with the exception of a distinct lack of Velma for me to lust after.

S&Man

Perfesser Deviant — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:18:08 +0000

A documentary on the way that movies in general and horror in particular is an outlet for our voyeuristic tendencies. There are interviews with author Carol J. Clover, well-known low-budget gore filmmakers Fred Vogel and Bill Zebub as well as some lesser-known folks in the industry or experts on psychology. The interviews are quite interesting, though I do find Carol J. Clover to be annoying, and we get a lot of time with several interesting directors and one actress, Debbie D, but one of the most interesting and creepy is an underground director who makes naturalistic films about a man who stalks and kills young women...

Maid in Sweden

Perfesser Deviant — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:11:55 +0000

Young, sweet Inga (Christina Lindberg) leaves her repressive home for a short visit to her sister Greta (Monica Ekman) and Greta's boyfriend Carsten (Krister Ekman) in the big city. While there she gets to cast off the shackles of small-town life or farm or whatever and enjoy some freedom for the first time ever. She also gets to cast off the shackles of being overdressed, which is just fine with this old deviant...

Hood Rat

Perfesser Deviant — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:08:32 +0000

Homeless Max (Isaiah Washington) and his brother live in the basement of a tenement owned by slumlord Souilliez (Taurean Blacque) and run by the desperate Grady (Ice-T). Max's only friend, aside from his brother, is a nice girl who lives upstairs – Nina (A.J. Johnson) – until he meets a friendly rat that he saves from a trap. This rat can understand him and hears the tale of a sad and lonely man who wants revenge on all those who have wronged him...

Angel Above The Devil Below

Perfesser Deviant — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 19:06:14 +0000

Director: Dominic Bolla Writer: Jon Cutaia Release Year: 1974 Ignore the devil behind the meat curtain! Randy Maldemar (Linda York) is reading a forbidden book of forbidden evil in her forbidden bed while her mother, Turgid (Starlyn Simone) is 'paying' George the handyman (Robert Bedford). The Devil – voiced by Lamar Gilbert – comes to Randy's call and hides himself in her tunnel of love. For the rest of the movie, which plays like a rude parody of The Exorcist, the Devil shouts obscene requests and insults out of Randy's nether mouth in an attempt to get some attention....

The Barbarians

Vomitron — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 22:37:03 +0000

The Ragnaks are a group of artists and entertainers who possess a magical ruby which has the power to bring pleasure and happiness to people. Or well, that’s what I learned from the narration at the beginning of the movie. My guess is that, in the wrong hands, it can also do great evil. And that’s obviously why Richard Lynch wants it. This is going to be good.
