    Female Market: Imprisonment – 1986 / Director: Yasuaki Uegaki

    Get Christie Love! – 1974 / Director: William A. Graham

    You’re under arrest, sugah. Get Christie Love! looks exactly what it is: a tame, honkey-friendly TV movie version of Coffy. Star Teresa Graves may not have Pam Grier’s pneumatic physique,…

    H Is For… The Holy Mountain – 1973 / Director: Alejandro Jodorowsky

    Sword For Truth – 1990 / Director: Osamu Dezaki

    Note that the viewed version was English dub only. A change of language can affect an anime radically. It’s the only version that was released in Britain on DVD, so…

    The Italian Connection (La mala ordina) – 1972 / Director: Fernando Di Leo

    We came to Milan with serious intentions Well, half a Di Leo film is better than none at all, I suppose. Around an hour into what was previously a fairly…

    Trash – 1970 / Director: Paul Morrissey

    Coffy – 1973 / Director: Jack Hill

    If you want to hang onto your balls, never describe her as “Just a broad I fuck” Name a Blaxploitation flick, and there is a good chance that big, black…

    Caroline Kopko on DRUGS.

    This list was more difficult to assemble than I imagined. Am I making a list of movies about drugs or a list of movies to watch on drugs? Very different ideas. I…

    Vanishing Point – 1971 / Director: Richard Sarafian

    The Witch Who Came From The Sea – 1976 / Director: Matt Cimber

    Graham on SKUNK. Who would have thought a film once deemed a video nasty unfit for consumption on these hallowed shores could be quite so surreal, poetically slow and elegantly made? And just…

    Hanna D. – 1984 / Director: Rino Di Silvestro

    Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo is a really good film. The clichéd Hanna D. tries to enter the same territory but fails spectacularly. Hanna D. is a pretty bad film. The film…

    The Heroin Busters – 1977 / Director: Enzo G. Castellari

    Contraband – 1980 / Director: Lucio Fulci

    Unlike Lenzi and Castellari, dear Lucio did not ride the Eurocrime wave. His entry to the genre came at the tail end of the Eurocrime filone. This is a pity because Lucio Fulci would / could…
