Through the Looking Glass (1976)

A bizzare, surreal, sadistic, and creepy supernatural tale from the 70's that resembles more of a twisted Euro-horror/exploitation film than a porno. The movie is about a rich blonde woman (so fucking hot!) depressed with her bourgeoisie lifestyle and dead father. To escape such a lame sexless life (her husband sucksass), she indulges in perversions in front of a mirror. This mirror proves to be not just any other mirror (it's a gateway beyond your wildest dreams...and nightmares mwhahaha) and a lot of weird shit goes on as she continues her sexual activities. She even ends up talking like Linda Blair in the Exorcist, goes on psychotic rants, and has sex with a transexual, a ghost, and her dead father????! The explicit sex scenes are either extremely erotic or extremely disturbing, no in betweens...mostly disturbing though. In one scene there was a sick orgy with upper class Victorian snobs and in another scene there was a bathtub full of piss and shit with a bunch of naked nutcases around the place. I don't wanna mention more of the specific crazy happenings that the mirror leads to cause that spoils the cool mystery appeal the plot has. Lets just say the atmosphere and scenes remind me of a mix between "Salo" and "El Topo". Taboos like incest, child abuse, and rape (very violent rape scene here) are all present in this demented art/horror/drama/roughie too. I don't really like calling this a porno because the "porno" label really stigmatizes this with "mainstream/softcore" horror fans not open to explicit gritty sex in a film. Oh well, their loss if they don't want to see it just cause it has some porn elements. The hellish depiction of actual penetration and genitals really gives the movie a more creepy unsettling feel that other horror movies fail to achieve. If you like dark atmospheric horror that gets ridiculously sleazy and sadistic as if it were Alice in Wonderland written by Marquise De Sade himself, you need this movie now! Porn legends Jamie Gillis and Terri Hall (RIP) are here too.

The Farmer's Daughter (1973)

Zebedy Colt's first film that has vicious rapes, sexual humiliation, violence and a pissed-off dork with a fro (his voice is funny too). The movie is kinda like grindhouse classics "Last House on the Left" and "Fight for your Life" when three sadistic convicts that escaped from prison stumble upon the farm where a farmer, his wife, his three daughters, and the farm hand dork with a fro live and will be abused. These three bad guys are really mean fuckers and get their perverted ways with the women cause they got a gun they're not afraid to flaunt. They managed to get sloppy blowjobs and brutally sodomize the farmer's daughters. The rough forced sex scenes are morally repugnant and add to the vile sleazy experience that is meant to shock the viewer I guess (cause I just can't picture anyone beating off to this nasty stuff, reminded me of Forced Entry). Things get over the top when one of the farmer's daughters is forced to give the farmer (keep in mind her father) a blowjob. Those escaped convicts aren't the only villains though. The farmer's daugthers are pretty damn perverted and evil too and drove the farm hand dork to insanity. Everyone gets their revenge on each other in the end somehow so this movie has some poetic justice. The dork with the fro had the harshest revenge of all that surprised everyone and really showed his true colors. "Farmer's Daughters" is a movie not afraid of showing a twisted side of humanity, definitley not for the politically correct!...or for people that want a clean arthouse film cause this movie has a filthy gritty look and some of the editing is a mess (although that adds to the filthy gritty charm) Cduniverse has it at the cheapest I've seen it, go get it from them. The DVD comes with 2 other Zebedy Colt films, look for the "Cult 70s Porno Director: Zebedy Colt XXX Triple Feature" DVD from Alpha Blue Archives.

The Taking of Christina (1976)

One of my fav films. The cover looks like a whimpy chick flick, but this is a nasty rape/revenge hardcore sexploitation classic. Kinda like "I Spit on Your Grave" and "Axe" but a lot more mean-spirited than those two flicks. Everything starts off with some chick fantasizing about getting married with a guy she's been seeing for a long time. She was saving her virginity just for him cause she was the innocent type that still believes in sex after marriage. Later her whole life is ruined when she gets kidnapped by these two criminal buddies (one a sadistic mysoginist and the other a sensitive dork that doesn't approve of his buddy's antisocial ways, but still a criminal too). Earlier these guys were with hookers but one of them got pissed off and said he didn't like filthy whores you have to pay for, that's why he went out and abducted some more wholesome pussy right after he beat up one of the hookers. After tying the chick to a bed and violently raping her, his buddy gets to talk to the battered woman, sympathizing with her...and then also fucking her (they don't call this "Taking of Christina" for nothing). Suddenly the chick is cool with these guys and wants to live with them, even gets in a hot threesome with them (huh?!) but something drastic happens in the suprisingly violent end. There's also some other fucked up scenarios that are funny in an ironic way, you really need this! It's a very solid film that has actual character development and pretty deep story too, top notch work for an ultra-sleazy porno. Tom Savini I read in Cinema Sewer made an appearance here also, that makes it even more interesting. Cduniverse has it at the cheapest I've ever seen it, go get it from them.

The Devil Inside Her (1977)

I knew this movie would rule as soon as I saw the poster. Weird sleazy satanic porn written, directed, and starring Zebedy Colt (the psycho in Sex Wish), that guy is awesome, I consider him a porn legend. He plays an abusive bible-thumping asshole that forbids his daughters from anything sexual. Somehow one of his daughers awakens the Devil out of jealousy of her sister's lover and evil shit ensues. The devil is such a sick bastard that he'll transform into a family member before raping someone, I guess that counts as incest, eww. The sex scenes have an unholy soundtrack giving the film even more of a sinister feel. Things get over-the-top in the orgy scene that involved rough gangbangs, a golden shower, and everything having a red tint. I should mention that the devil looks like a KISS reject wtih balls made of rubber. For some reason, the devil has a stretchy scrotum. It made me cringe when he kept pulling on his balls as he was jerking off. I thought the guy's skin was going to rip.

Anyways, there's a lot more weridness and sleaze in this movie, plus the story and characters are pretty solid, see it for yourself and go get a copy from cduniverse since buying straight from Alpha Blue Archives is ridiculous.

Hardgore (1974)

A movie about a nympho going in a hospital where strange sadistic stuff happens, which leads to some nonsensical killing and non-stop sex. Not as gory as the name would lead you to believe. Essentially it's just a porno, a really sloppy depraved porno with necrophilia and rape (although the ideas are more depraved than the actual execution). One guy bangs a chick while she's in a guillotine and blows his load for an ultimate orgasm as soon as she gets decapitated. Another scene involved a guy's dick getting ripped off. Like I said though, what you see is depraved only when you think about how fucked-up an idea it was, but when you actually see these scenes, it's pretty damn tame. It looks like HG Lewis gore but the camera is too shy to show it. The porno aspect ends up being like 98% of the movie. It's really weird and surreal porno though (surreal in a trashy cheeze way, not in a avant-garde art cinema way). There's an orgy with some guy in a devil mask going bonkers, I think he's like a leader of the secret satanic cult going on in the hospital or something. There was also a revolving sex scene where a guy and chick were in a room that kept spinning as they screwed each other. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy. All the sex scenes feel like they take forever (because they actually do take forever), they're not that hot, and they're actually boring as hell. I forgive the shortcummings of this film just because of a talking dildo and the guillotine fuck scene. Man, that scene is funny. Sure the decapitation didn't involve gushing gore, but the idea is just so over-the-top and twisted that it's comedy gold. I appreciate this movie for the weirdness and nasty ideas than the actual gore or porn. Alpha Blue Archives released this on DVD but I wouldn't spend $25 plus $7 shipping on it.

Women on the Run (1993)

This has the best kung-fu and action sequences you'll ever see in a CAT III. Very impressive swift movements and fancy strikes, especially when the one chick starts swinging a pole and kicks some ass with it. It's actually more of a buddy/road/thriller than an over-the-top sleazefest, which CAT III's usually are. The sleaze is still here though when you have a story about a kung-fu champion woman's life turned to shit when her boyfriend pimps her out and turns her into a junkie hooker. One day she got pissed off when a "customer" took a piss in her kung-fu trophy so she beats the hell out of the guy (she was naked as she did these awesome kicks). Later she ends up killing her pimp boyfriend and from then on she's been on the run as a hooker always trying to avoid the cops so she could get more drug money. Eventually she gets caught by a female cop (who too knows kung-fu) and then later they manage to become buddies on the run together out for revenge at a guy that fucked them both over real bad. There are 2 scenes that I remember being sadistic. This one scene had a dog (obviously fake) kicked like a football. And then there's a brutal and depressing rape scene when the two women are left naked in the rain as a shitload of horny drunk sailors try to have their way with them. Some naked kung-fu ensued there but it wasn't campy like the first naked kung-fu scene. This movie had a feminist tone by the way so I wouldn't say the movie went out to degrade women for pure exploitation. Overall, I thought this movie was cool, not as dark and mean-spirited as most CAT III's but not as light and easy as a buddy or action movie.

Robotrix (1991)

Here's a cool action sci-fi CAT III slapstick/comedy that shows a lot of T & A and has some darker sleaze moments but is still more on the humor side. The 3 main chick characters in the movie were hot but my crotch was mostly obsessed with the Asian Goddess Amy Yip. Amy Yip is the greatest thing about this movie (or Asia for that matter), nothing like seeing a tight little asian lady with mouth-watering heavy hooters! We don't get to see her nipples in this flick but damn, those boobs look delicious no matter what. The story begins with some Middle Eastern leader's son getting kidnapped for ransom by an evil scientist that transported his mind into an unstoppable robot body (he wore leather and acted like Arnold in Terminator). A chick cop is resurrected from the dead as a robot (just like Robocop) to help the police get this guy. Amy Yip (who's a robot too) also helps in the hunt for this guy. Not really an interesting plot but it allows the action (fights and explosions) and silly antics of the police to ensue, that's all that matters really. The sleaze in this movie is due to some violent rape scenes. Apparently the Terminator-like villain is a horn dog that kills hookers. He bangs one hooker to death (he NEVER goes limp cause he's a robot) and there was another rape scene in a science lab or whatever that was pretty rough. At one point of the movie the cops try to lure the bad guy by setting up Amy Yip as a hooker. Things backfire when the cops never did catch the bad guy but end up watching Amy Yip have sex with guys she kept attracting in her hooker set-up. This scene was pretty much a comical excuse to show Amy Yip undress and make everyone drool over her goods.

Sex Wish (1976)

My fav Hardcore Roughie because Zebedy Colt is the greatest psycho I have ever seen in any movie! In fact, he's more insane than Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs (personally I thought everything about Silence of the Lambs was overrated). Zebedy plays a serial killer/rapist that talks like a retarded kid one minute and then suddenly unleashes a powerful rage as he yells "It's all your fault!" for some unexplained crazy reason. Anyways the movie is about Harry Reems from "Deep Throat" and "Forced Entry" (VERY different character here), a mild-mannered guy who's life seems perfect until one day his lover gets raped and killed by Zebedy. She was raped with a vibrator while he jerked off on her....he also whipped her.....and then slit her thoat...rough shit eh? Harry was so depressed that later he's found in a bar drowning his sorrows. Two whores give him a free fuck to cheer him up and then later advise him to find and kill the bastard that killed his lover. I like how the whore dramatically tells Harry to do this right after giving him a blow job, what a weird pacing of mood. One minute a care-free threesome then suddenly a super serious moment as if the whore became a counselor instantly. Only in Porno does this kinda mood-shift exist! After the threesome Harry decides to buy a gun, searches for Zebedy, finally finds him after some leads...you know where this is going, the usual revenge formula, although the ending is kind of a nice sick twist! The most intense scene of the film was when Zebedy breaks into a black couples home and forces them to have sex with each other as he watches and points a gun at them. The dialogue is sleaze and insanity to the MAXXX here with Zebedy giving the performance of his life. He even manages to cry tears of joy, giving him an ultra deranged look. It's a very memorable scene that ends nasty. If you've seen it before, you know what I'm talking about, if not, you're in for a real shock. This movie gets hated on by politically correct people because of the brutal displays of rape. Lets get one thing clear here, just about all the sex are Harry's scenes and those are consensual. And also the movie doesn't make the rapes erotic at all. I don't think the movie wanted people to beat off to those scenes, you couldn't even really see the chick during them. They were meant to be disturbing so you can want Harry's character to have revenge even more.

Raw Force (1982)

Some evil guy that looks like Hitler has to feed Cannibal Monks hookers so they can have the power to make zombies on some island where he's doing some illegal shit. When a ship is on its way to this island, some kung-fu fighting with the zombies of course occurs because the people on the ship happen to know how to kick ass. Sounds like b-movie/exploitation/action heaven but I didn't find the movie over-the-top and wild enough to live up to its insane premise. A couple dashes of blood, a few gore-lite decapitations, and pretty standard action/fight scenes, nothing really mind-blowing but its decent enough to be worth a look for the cult movie geek that has to experience the most obscure titles out there. The story was super retarded, I forget what was going on most of the time cause the movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be a sitcom one minute or an action movie the next. I remember the movie became a party movie when eveyrone on the ship started to socialize. Eww, socializing is gay! But like I said, for you b-movie freaks, it's your duty to watch this just for the sake of encyclopedic knowledge in the world of obscure cinema.

Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend (1992)

This is like one of my favorite comedies now! Damn, the guy in this movie is PATHETIC and unbelievably ridiculous...yet so real. It's so SAD it's FUNNY. My favorite thing about the movie is the soundtrack, it's like classic 80's rock with long mellow solos. The other thing I dig is the cheezy acting and memorable dialogue. There's a scene in the movie where the guy looks into the mirror and says he wants to stop "yanking his dick" in his dull but comical voice. No plot to this movie really, it just gives an intimate glimpse of a day in the life of one sad lonely security guard that constantly gives us insight into his mundane observations and thoughts about sex. Any little thing, from tv commercials to his diet, he will contemplate until he comes to the conclusion that he's a depressing loser sick with a sex obsession. Bible propaganda someone slides into his door about porn being a sin and hallucinations of his father calling him a loser adds more insult to his existence. He literally most of his life eats beef jerky while wearing nothing but underwear and watching cable porn (cable porn that just consists of "butter" face chicks stripping for what feels like forever!). Whenever he's in public he'll be a voyeur, which pisses people off and makes him look up the definition of "Insanity" cause he's starting to have all the symptomns of a serial killer. Eventually he goes on to more interactive things like phone sex and then hookers, which he blows all his money on. The way he tries to haggle for lower prices with hookers as if he were in a flea market is noteworthy. He keeps up this sad, money-draining, STD infested, lifestyle until the end where he hits rock bottom. This guy is such a cheap dork that he records his fuck adventures with hookers on both a hidden tape recorder and a camcorder so he can keep re-living the experience again. I'd actually do the same if I ever wasted money on a hooker, gotta get the money's worth. Great comedy, even has its weird moments, like a chick in a movie having sex with a brain-in-a-vat. It's a super simple movie with not that much story. I could see people getting bored and then finding it pointless, but if you're a great cheeze appreciator, you'll find yourself fascinated and wondering how much more pathetic this loser's lifestyle (who ALL men can relate to at some degree) can get to the very end. This guy is like Al Bundy if Al Bundy never got married and lived alone.

The Sinful Dwarf (1973)

A filthy sexploitation film with an evil dwarf that talks funny and still plays with toys, a drug dealer called Santa that hides drugs in teddy bears, and a mouth-watering hot blonde wearing nothing at all...WOW, this is brilliance! The opening credits with a strange avant-garde score playing while all kinds of toys move across the screen is a wild experience alone! Besides the credits, the story alone is absurd. A married couple rent a room at a house. Little do they know that the landlords (a mother and her dwarf son) have a secret room with kidnapped women held captive and injected with heroin supplied by "Santa Clause". Basically this mother and son team are pimp masters that keep their hoes weak and addicted to drugs, rendering them into hopeless junkies. Anyways, the room these chicks are locked in serves as a whorehouse where people are free to fuck any chick in there when they pay the entrance fee to the dwarf. (there's only one customer in the entire movie though, what a booming business haha). The sadistic mother/son pimp team decide to make one of their new tenants (the super hot blonde wife) "merchandise" for their illegal business. Yep, as you can tell, this is one sleazy fucked-up movie. There's quite a number of lenghty sex scenes, especially with the customer guy and the junkie chicks. Nothing hardcore/pornographic but they're pretty damn funny. This customer guy humps this one girl like mad. I'm not sure if it even counts as rape. The women looked like they didn't want sex but had to comply. Either way, it's so politically incorrect and misogynistic that it becomes as funny as Anal Cunt lyrics. Keep in mind, "Sinful Dwarf" isn't a very gory/violent film. The harshest scene is when one woman gets fucked with a cane by the dwarf, although what goes on is left to the imagination. If you find humor in the outrageous sleaze and mistreatment of women in movies like "Pink Flamingos" and "Bloodsucking Freaks," you NEED this! I kept thinking of those two movies as I watched this thing. Even if you don't like those movies, you might find yourself intrigued by the sinister facial expressions and mean antics of that evil dwarf fucker. I love that guy! What he lacks in height, he makes up for in sleaze and hilarity.

There are rare VHS and Japanese DVD's of this that are pretty damn expensive. But don't worry, Something Weird puts this out on DVD-R, go get it from them!

A Climax of Blue Power (1976)

Here's a swell sleazy roughie/porno from the 70's, back when pornos actually had some interesting stories as if they were real dramas/thrillers that just happened to have hardcore sex scenes as opposed to the softcore sex you'd see in an R-rated film. This one involves a sleazeball impersonating a cop so he can arrest hookers and tell them he'll let them free if he can bang them. He even customizes his car and has a police radio. What a genius way to save money and get some crotch action with no strings attached. We get to see two occassions of his sneaky sex adventures. In the first adventure he humiliates a whore by making her jerk off in the mud while it rains. He makes her do this after giving her some rough sex in the back of his fraudulent police car. The second adventure involved going in a massage parlor and having a lengthy threesome with two whores, mostly genital slurping ensues. "Climax of a Blue Power" becomes plot-driven when the main character witnesses a wife murder her husband. The wife never got caught but this police-impersonator becomes obsessed with punishing the bitch. This punishmet involves his cock and things get pretty mean-spirited from there, especially when the dude dresses up like Norman Bates and gives her a bubblebath where he sticks the fingers where the sun don't shine. I like how the movie actually showed the psychological turmoil the guy was going through as he kept thinking of this husband-killing wife. There are neat insights into his mind through yellow-tinted dream sequences where he fantasizes of romantic sex with her to sadistic whipping. The guy was also obsessed over this woman to prove to the world that he does have what it takes to be a cop too. Apparently he wanted to be a cop before but ended up being a loser security guard nobody respects. It's a very well made film and the acting was really impressive, especially by the main man Jason Carns. I personally enjoyed it more as a crime/drama movie more than a porno. If you're interested in the story but don't want to feel so "dirty", either get used to the hardcore scenes or just hit the fast forward button (although that might end the movie pretty early). Interesting to note that the director did do non-pornos as well like "The Black Gestapo" and even the more mainstream MGM released "Thing with Two-Heads". I never thought the guy that did a fun b-movie like "Thing with Two-Heads" did raw explicit stuff!

Forced Entry (1971)

"Forced Entry" is a perfect example of cinema pushed to a grim extreme through simplicity. No extreme gore or siezure inducing effects, just the raw ugliness of a pissed-off rapist, a genuinley creepy music score, and actual war footage that didn't even have blood is enough to send shivers down an iron spine. The movie is about a scumbag Nam Vet that works at a gas station and does some sadistic stuff. He has a clever way of getting into the houses of women customers so he can rape, mentally torture, and murder them in cold blood. He'll ramble on about how he hates people and then he'll say some humiliating un-PC things to his victims. One woman is threatened with a knife and forced to suck his cock while he goes on and on about hating her socio-economic type. And another woman gets forced into sodomy thanks to a gun in the sleazeball's hand. This woman too gets attacked verbally by the madman. During these sick rape scenes, real Vietnam War footage was inserted. You'd see a sudden b/w clip of Vietnamese children crying as the rape victim was begging for agony or a clip of weapons being loaded as the guy's penis gets attention. It's an interesting "compare and contrast" between the war in Vietnam and the war in the streets of mundane America. How the guy's reign of terror ends is another interesting metaphor (not unless I'm just looking way too deep into it). He gets destroyed by two hippie women that meant no harm at all, kinda like the same way peace-lovers were the Vietnam War's antithesis. Sure this movie is a porno but I don't think people were meant to pleasure themselves to the degrading rape scenes. These scenes are terrifying! Anyone that finds themselves jerking off to these rapes is seriously a freak! I feel the movie takes advantage of being a porno so it could illustrate how brutal the crushing of innocence can be through explicit uncensored sex. Overall, a solid disturbing sleaze film with a gritty atmosphere that's so dirty that you'll wanna wash your TV in soapy water later. The only parts that kinda ruin the dark serious mood of the film is when audio clips are looped to repeat a thought and also the sodomy scene cause I think the woman was really getting penetrated in the birth canal the whole time.

The Ravager (1970)

Here's an early "NAM vet gone Wild" film that you "Forced Entry" and "Combat Shock" fans might dig. The main character has this hate for lovers, lesbians, and happy people. He delights in ruining joyous occassions (with explosives) ever since the Vietnam war where he witnessed a woman being raped, tortured, and exploded (dynamite up the joytrail!) by two Viet Cong goons. The psychology of the character operates on utterly retarded bad movie logic. We first learn he gets insitutionalized after the war and then as soon as he's out after being deemed sane he goes to some store to buy demolition/explosive equipment (were explosives really that easy to buy before?). There's even a cheezy narrator throughout the film giving us insight into this demented fuck's mind as if this were some educational 50's documentary. Not that much to the story really. The guy rents out some place where the landlady is a super bitch and just goes around looking for victims whenever he's out. When he finds them he quitely spys on what they're doing (usually fucking, no hardcore penetration though) as he prepares a bomb to set-off to kill. I think the movie padded itself too much by spending a lot of time on the softcore makeout scenes before the explosions hit. Not much violence either. There were some sleazy rapes though and in one rape he ends up suffocating the chick with a pillow. Although very simplistic and not as visually graphic, the story itself about a guy obsessed with "ravaging" happy people is pretty damn fucked up, so fucked up that it's ridiculously funny. He's like a rain cloud that suddenly obstructs rays of sunshine. Overall, it's a neat antisocial tale of some perverted nutcase, obsessed with destruction and sex, going on random acts of violence cause he was mentally disturbed in a nonsensical way. This one is for bottom of the barrel trash cinema weirdos (like me) to scrap up and appreciate for what it's worth cause I just can't see casual movie fans getting much out of this.

The awesome company Something Weird makes DVD-R's of it if you're interested. They're your easiest and probably only source to catch this obscure piece of exploitation psycho nam-vet history. The quality of the release is clear, it just has scratches on the film print that look like silky spiderwebs but you'll get used to it as you watch.

They Eat Scum (1979)

A weird Super-8 movie that was responsible for a whole "Transgressive Art" movement. The director, Nick Zedd, even coined the term "cinema of transgression". From my understanding "Transgressive Art" is art that's shocking, taboo-breaking, and anti-conformist. Pretty much it's the kinda shit that fascinates me! There sure are a lot of wild things in this flick that would be sure to piss off conservative yuppie tastes. The movie is about this Swastika-wearin' punk chick (Suzi Putrid) in a "deathrock" band ("deathrock", another term the director invented). She has a transvestite dog-fucking brother and a mean bible-thumping father that thinks Jesus is the best thing ever. The family's crazy antics make up the first couple of minutes and doesn't resemble a linear plot to follow. I don't even know if it was intentional but parts of the movie were sped-up, making the actors sound like chipmunks. Things get a bit more coherent (although still messy!) when at CBGB's (an infamous venue) Suzi's band plays their pissed-off music (the movie inserts live shows as if you were watching actual concert footage) and then orders the crowd to go out and kill people. She preached about hatred and cannibalism because they were the main goals in life. The funniest part in speech is when she says guys should cut off their dicks and girls sew their cunts (later we do see a sewn cunt!) so they could concentrate more on random acts of violence instead of sex ("fucking is for animals" she contends). Some absurd stuff from then on happens like a chick getting her boob skin sawed off, the chick's whole body getting eaten in gory detail, a guy who for some reason lays down in the road to get run over, and a flashback of a sick-incest rapist uncle in a dress. The movie operates on messy ridiculous b-movie logic with "Suzi" (or is it?) becoming the queen of Necropolis after starting a Nuclear holocaust.

This nuclear holocaust and her being a ruler of the land later leads to a mutant revolt...a DISCO mutant revolt. It involved guys in cheap monster costumes fighting bar room brawl style to the music of the Village People! One monster is a gigantic cock roach and we later see some Roach-Gore when he's smashed in an elevator! Cannibalism, incest, bestiality (a dog whorehouse?!), rape, nazi flags, blasphemy, castration, and violence....this movie clearly wanted to push the limits of bad taste. I would say this movie is what would happen if a sleazy bohemian set out to combine the "Fuck You and your society" scumbag punk mentality with a campy b-movie, complete with overacting, zany dialogue, and ridiculous special f/x (there's even some toy animation and a "turntable of death"!). I kept thinking to myself that this was like Pink Flamingos meets GG Allin. It comes to no surprise that I later found out the director actually did know John Waters and GG Allin. A true underground piece of punk trash art that has all the elements of being a notorious cult movie. I'm not sure why this thing isn't on DVD yet and I had to see this on what looks like a bootleg of a bootleg of a bootleg of a bootleg! The director is pretty legendary, even Quentin Tarantino made reference to him in Pulp Fiction, so there definitley is a potential bigger following this movie could have if it was more known.

Love to Kill (1993)

Here's a sleaze-drenched CAT III with Anthony Wong as a psychotic wife-beater who's also a lawyer...yep, a laywer, there's no limit to how sadistic this character is! The movie wastes no time to show the dark side of the guy Wong plays in a memorable performance. Within a few minutes into the movie, the guy is furiously raping his wife when he catches her watching Arnold Schwarzenegger flex his muscles on tv. Looking at other people's muscles really pissed him off! He's so pissed that he covers her head tight in a plastic bag as he delivers some rough humping. A beer bottle being shoved where the sun don't shine and other humiliating acts were done to the poor woman. Luckily the wife manages to run out into the rainy street and stumbles upon a cop who gives Anthony Wong an assbeating. Some drama happens and then later Wong's wife and her kid hide out at the cop's girlfriend's house. Things get akward when the cop starts having the hots for the young milf. The mood went from mean-spirited to humorous at this moment but then later progresses into mean-spirit mode again when Wong hunts down his missing wife. As he looks for her, he'll have sick flashbacks of his spousal abuse and also of his fucked-up childhood which reveals why he's such a crazy wife-beating scumbag. The eventual finale is when things get a bit gory and has Wong's insanity go off the charts. He wields an axe like Jack Nicholson in the Shining and tries to have a birthday party for his son..which is a nightmare for the whole family. Overall, a perfect example of grim CAT III sleaze. It gives a good look at even "White-collar" types guilty of beating their wives (as opposed to just "trailer trash") and an interesting exploration of rigid laws that prevent justice, especially with abused wives and children.

As for the movie release itself, I definitley have an edited version (Tawian VCD) but I'm not sure how much and what got cut though. The rapes were violent and there was a gory decapitation, still a graphic film even after editing. Whether the sex and violence is more over the top, I dunno. I don't think there's much more to the gore cause there's only 2 or 3 (if flashbacks count) people in the movie that end up getting murdered. The only edit that was painfully obvious and annoying was when a woman gets raped and we suddenly get a jumpy fastcut close-up to blood coming out of her mouth. Anyways, even if it was cut, the nature of the story was dark enough to be worthy of a CAT III rating and it's a film that's more "story-driven" than "gratuitous exploitation-driven" so I don't really find myself buying the uncut (and UNTRANSLATED) DVD soon just to watch what was missing, the story was what I got the most impact from.

Daughter of Darkness II (1994)

The first Daughter of Darkness was a classic in filthy CAT III sleaze so I was interested in this sequel. Well, the sequel pretty much has nothing to do with the first. You can watch the two as complete seperate movies. There was a reference to Anthony Wong from the first movie but nothing important at all to understand the story here. In Daughter of Darkness II, we get a brand new case that different cops have to investigate. In the same fashion as the first, blood-drenched dead bodies in the beginning establish the case. From there the cops piece clues together to find out who the murderer is. Suddenly the movie indulges in perverted slapstick humor, involving a room full of guys having to jerk off into bowls so their sperm can be compared to the one at the scene of the crime. Later, a mango manages to fall in some of the semen and a dimwitted big-titted cop eats it, not knowing why the mango tastes so great. As the movie progresses, things get a lot more erotic and then darker. As flashbacks, we are told the story of a wife and husband befriending some big dude. The husband had a damaged crotch from Nam so he asks big dude to impregnate his wife (long sex scenes ensue)...this of course leads to a fucked-up love story when big dude starts having feelings for the wifey (who's pretty damn hot btw). Things get even more fucked-up when a sadistic sleazeball family kidnaps the now pregnant wife for ransom. I'll leave you at that because just you gotta see how pitch black, evil, sick, and nasty the mood of the movie becomes at this point. Lets just say the movie later involves rape, torture, humiliation, sadism, more sex, STDs, a brutal coathanger abortion, and bloody violent revenge involving sharp objects! If you liked the first Daughter of Darkness or if you just want a ridiculously mean-spirited sleazy tale, you will not be dissapointed with this flick.

Chinese Torture Chamber Story (1994)

This movie does weird, totally original things with sex. There's a scene with high flying martial artists fucking. They fuck like mad in mid-air and do tons of hyper-humping, it's like how Goku from Dragonball Z would nail a chick with a crotch strong enough to withstand massive repeated thrusting! There were even some "Street Fighter-like" special moves in the fucking like the spinning on the cock while the cock was in the chick or the super ejaculation blast that drenches the place with semen. This insane sex scene wasn't what the movie revolved around though, it was something just inserted into the movie somehow. The main story is about a girl and her love interest getting framed for murdering the girl's husband (who has a HUGE dick that could kill anything he fucks). This husband is killed by getting an aphrodisiac overdose which makes his penis explode and spray a shitstorm of blood. The story is actually interesting and there's more details to the messed-up love story and corruption that you just need to see for yourself. Anyways, as the title suggests, there's torture here because apparently court rooms back in the ancient times this film was set would employ barbaric methods to get someone to confess to a crime or to just simply execute them. Getting fingernails torn off, kneeling on broken plates, boob squishing, getting fucked by a wooden donkey, castration, and fingers being squeezed by an ingenious invention are some of the torture and execution methods we get a glimpse of. The movie is more of a sleazfests than gorefest though with strong sexual humor, an invisible rape that goes hilariously wrong, numerous boobs, and even a lesbian scene. Overall, a classic essential CAT III delivering the sleaze and violence. The insane high flying fuck is worth owning this movie alone!

Cannibal Apocalypse (1980)

If you're looking for non-stop cannibalism gore munching, I don't think this will satisfy your appetite. There were only a few actual eating human parts and as for gore in general, it's pretty gory, the two stand outs were a ridiculously huge shotgun blast right through a guy (yep, you see a bloody hole in him in all its gory detail) and the other being a limb of a guy at a gas station getting sawed up into lots of meaty red pieces. Besides violence, there is some sex for you tit fans. This one next door neighbor chick gets down right slutty. Overall, the fantastic story about a disease from Vietnam compelling people to bite others, which infects others and results in an epidemic in the city, is cheese galore for guys that know how to appreciate b-movie madness. It has the mechanics of a zombie invasion movie so should appeal to zombie fans. The acting is good too (John Saxon and the guy who's head gets drilled in Gates of Hell are here..that guy also got his weiner chopped off in Cannibal Ferox). Anyways, I’ve seen so many people trash Cannibal Apocalypse, don't let all the negative reviews get to you if you're a b-movie fan and haven’t seen this yet. The bitching is usually by someone expecting every movie to be as gory as Dead Alive or as realistic in gore as a surgery on the Learning Channel. Those idiots don’t have the patience and attention span to sit down and watch a zany movie idea from start to finish, no wonder all these worthless pseudo-snuff movies like August Underground are being made, those just appeal to some br00tal imbecile too stupid to follow an actual crazy storyline that has creativity. A cheeze, gore, and sleaze essential!

The Candy Snatchers (1973)

A very solid and original "film noir" story with a gritty exploitation look and feel that could have only been done in the 70's. The movie starts off with three criminals kidnapping Candy, the daughter of a jewelry store manager. It was going to be simple, threaten to kill the girl if jewelry isn't delivered. Everything in the ransom seemed to go perfectly according to plan until something the kidnappers didn't see coming became a reality. This reality is funny in a dark ironic twist-of-fate kinda way that is contrary to the stereotypical "heroic father" figure. Turns out the father in "Candy Snatchers" has some immoral ulterior motives of his own and threats to kill his daughter just leave a big smile on his face. A mute innocent little boy (with a cranky bitch mother) happens to live right by the hill that the criminals are staying and hiding Candy at. What the kid ends up doing is drastic and creates the most bleak, ironic, memorable ending in a movie ever...yep, EVER! I haven't seen such a fucked-up ending since classics like "Stroszeck" and "Combat Shock". This has become a personal fav film of mines. It's a very cynical tale, a scathing satire on dreams, greed, and life in a dog eat dog society. A lot of people hate this film because it's not pure exploitation. Sure it has two rape scenes, a tied up blonde school girl, and an ear getting sliced off a corpse, but it doesn't exploit these elements enough to be mindless shock entertainment. There's a pretty good amount of violence and sleaze though so it is more raw than other pussy-whipped crime dramas. The DVD of Candy Snatchers looks great and comes with an old school poster. If you're a big fan of this site, YOU NEED THIS MOVIE!
