Macabre

Pazuzu Iscariot — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:36:32 GMT

In 2009, Indonesian writer/directors “The Mo Brothers” (aka Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto) unleashed their horror movie Macabre on the populace of Singapore. They made a deliberate effort to merge the American slasher genre with more traditional Eastern horror and they definitely achieved this. It draws influences from American horror so much so...

Strange Behavior

Pazuzu Iscariot — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:08:41 GMT

Strange Behavior (known as Dead Kids, Human Experiments, Small Town Massacre and Beyond the Gate but never referred to as Strange Behaviour in the UK) is a peculiar entry on the list of video nasties. Most peculiar is why it was banned in the first place, yes it has gore, but not enough and not in a context where a banning should be necessary. Comp...

Maniac Cop

Pazuzu Iscariot — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 19:27:10 GMT

Back in the late eighties when New York cops had facial hair that would make Tom Selleck feel inadequate and 93% of crime was committed by Puerto Rican's in headbands, William Lustig (Director) and Larry Cohen (Writer and producer) got together to show society that not all police in America greet citizens with a "toodle pip" before rescuing a cat f...

Needle

Pazuzu Iscariot — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:08:50 GMT

Needle is an Australian slasher movie written and directed by John V. Soto (whose name you may recognise from Ozsploitation movies such as Crush... or maybe not). Soto takes a fairly original concept and some intriguing characters and slots them perfectly into the generic American slasher template. Despite the customary execution of the plot, Needl...

The Los Angeles Ripper

Pazuzu Iscariot — Sat, 18 Aug 2012 20:24:09 GMT

The second feature length film from Craig McIntyre is endearingly known as The Los Angeles Ripper. This movie presents a noticeable progression from his previous work, A Few Screws Loose, in a number of ways. It has still obviously been produced on a micro-budget but there are noticeable improvements which have addressed a number of flaws apparent ...

Anthropophagus

Pazuzu Iscariot — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:29:34 GMT

Between directing Blue Erotic Climax and Porno Esotic Love, prolific filmmaker Joe D'Amato took a break from his sleazy pornographic exploits and directed his first non-erotic horror Anthropophagus. Also known as Grim Reaper, Man-Eater and The Beast among a multitude of other names (as is quite common for cheap Italian horror), Anthropophagus was d...

Lisa Lisa AKA Axe

Pazuzu Iscariot — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT

In 1977 Frederick R. Friedel's marketing people decided to shock the US with horror marketing typical of the time and a film called Lisa, Lisa (more commonly known as Axe but also known as California Axe Massacre, California Axe Murders, The Axe Murders and The Virgin Slaughter). The artwork and the trailer made the movie seem so much more than it ...

Husk

Hellbound Heart — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT

I've had mostly positive experiences with After Dark Films of late - although with at least one notable exception (*cough* The Task *cough*) so I had some hope for Husk (2011). After Dark may not be exactly re-inventing the wheel, but they generally have enough about them to turn out a decent horror yarn and a firm sense of what it is they're doing...

Black Devil Doll

Pazuzu Iscariot — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

If Hugh Everett ever stumbled upon a parallel universe where Tiffany Ray had married Dolomite instead of Chucky then he would probably find that, on that universe's equivalent of Earth, Black Devil Doll would be the notorious gender-confused Glen/Glenda terrorising the masses. That would be an exceptionally more entertaining reality in which to exi...

Chopping Mall AKA Killbots

Pazuzu Iscariot — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Back in the mid-eighties when scientists were technologically advanced enough to create sentient, self-actualising robots but couldn't quite work out how to empower them a wide vocabulary or legs, Jim Wynorski delivered Chopping Mall (AKA Killbots) to a very small proportion of the masses. As was customary back then, Chopping Mall employs a number ...
