Nekromantik – 1987 / Director: Jörg Buttgereit
If you ever have the misfortune to die in a car crash in 1980s Germany, then you’re fucked. Literally fucked. That’s the premise of this controversial slice of gore, grue…

Miss Bohrloch – 1970 / Director: John Lindsay
As you’d expect from John Lindsay, this hardcore loop is short, chock full of filth and pretty fucking enjoyable. As you’d expect from Mary Millington, the sex seems natural, she…

Rag Doll – 2012 / Author: Mathew Klickstein
Well, this is a thing. A scant 100 or so pages chock full of the most depraved sexual acts this side of Japanese internet porn. The book is basically a…

Thirsty for Love, Sex and Murder – 1972 / Director: Mehmet Aslan
As with my review of Cellat (AKA Turkish Death Wish) this is a “no subs, no dubs” crash course in Turkish as a foreign language via the grindhouse – a…
-
Love to Kill – 1993 / Director: Billy Chung
What? Why can’t I beat my wife? Beat your wife? I beat your Mom, bastard! Rape, murder, domestic violence and broad comedy are always going to be uneasy bedfellows, and…

Tears of the Black Tiger – 2000 / Director: Wisit Sasanatieng
By everything sacred in this world, I, Mahesuan, swear, with the Buddha as my witness, I’ll always be true and loyal to my blood brother, Dom, the Black Tiger who…

Django Kill… If You Live, Shoot! – 1967 / Director: Giulio Questi
I’m sorry sir. But all my life, I’ve searched for gold. And this man is full of it. Django Kill…starts off like a many spaghetti western. An outlaw (Tomas Milian)…

REWOUND: The Annihilators – 1985 / Director: Charles E. Sellier Jr
A quick glance at Charles E. Sellier’s resume and you could be forgiven for thinking that a vigilante movie would be a strange choice for the creator of The Life…

Double Target – 1987 / Director: Bruno Mattei
I had high hopes for this one. Being a big fan of OTT 80s action overloaders – particularly the Macaroni Combat movies that Italy seemed to churn out ten a…

Steele Justice – 1987 / Director: Robert Boris
Leeeeeeee! If you weren’t named John in 80s action films, you were nothing: Rambo, Matrix, McClane, Burton and now Steele. The cheating bastard from The Karate Kid takes on the…
-
Naked Massacre – 1976 / Director: Denis Héroux
I’m going to have to tie you up for a few hours, if you don’t mind. Naked Massacre is a title which promises much, but the film itself is a…
-
Deadly Prey – 1986 / Director: David A. Prior
That’s what’s left of your best man. Sub-Rambo (hell, sub-Strike Commando) fun starring the director’s brother, the Toolbox Murders guy and an epic haircut. This film is totally incompetent on…
-
Autopsia – 1973 / Director: Juan Logar
The silence of death is more eloquent than the happiness of life. There can’t be too many Spanish films which feature the post-war experience of a Vietnam veteran. There can…
-
The Ravager – 1970 / Director: Charles Nizet
