Watched Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs today. A very bloody, fun Japanese movie from early 70's. I think it fits in here, as well.

Ill give site reviews once they are delivered.

Watched Rolling Thunder on Showtime last night..that movie kicked all kinds of ass. It caught me off guard though, because it is an actual good movie.
Hope you like Exponerad, its a great movie. One unusual thing about Exponerad, is that it stars Janne "Loffe" Carlsson, a well liked swedish comedian. And you get to see him naked! Scary.

Danish dvd-company Another World has released Torso on dvd in scandinavia.
A really great giallo with a fantastic soundtrack.

Yeah, this is a great one, the routine mysogyny on display in these kinds of films is astonishing. I'd also recommend Sex & Fury and it's sequel Female Yakuza Tale.

I did mention Avenging Disco Godfather earlier in the thread, but to truly complete the Rudy Ray Moore experience, you have to view Petey Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son in Law. It has to be seen to be believed.

Another good one that just came to mind THE SLAMS, with Jim Brown, a prison picture, not as down and dirty as some of the stuff mentioned here in this educational thread (and I mean that, I appreciate the onslaught of titles that I've never heard of), it's a solid picture, and one that introduced me to the phrase "Slow your roll, homeboy, slow your roll."

I learned how to edit together my own grindhouse double features with trailers and 70s ads. I'll be watching ROLLING THUNDER and MATANGO for the first time tonight.

MATANGO looks freaky, these japanese people shipwreck on an island with nothing to eat but the strange mushrooms and slowly they turn into giant mushroom monsters one by one.

I can't believe this thread has gone on for more than 100 replies with not a single mention of Russ Meyer. Surely any of his films post Faster, Pussycat, Kill Kill! would qualify, but special props for Supervixens, Up! and Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens.

It's hard not to list some early John Waters or HG Lewis flix either, even though they are somewhat more mainstream than many of the films already listed.

The amount of great stuff out there is really kinda overwhelming.

add http://www.horrortheatervideo.com as a good one..ordered last week, got em today. Everything works great, and their prices are almost half of what the others were. Damn good selection too, especially if women in prison flicks are your thing.

Barbed Wire Dolls - Shit sandwich. Jess Franco has failed miserably to impress me thus far. Makes Ilsa look like the Godfather. There is a slow motion scene that is worth the price of admission..instead of slowing down the film, the actors actually move in slow motion. The broad in the scene is trying hard not to crack up as she is running (in slow motion) from her father, who is incdentally trying to rape her. In slow motion.

The Toy Box - someone earlier recommended Toys are Not for Children, so I picked it up from amazon in a double feature with this one. This movie is fucking rediculously crazy, I think in a good way. I'm not even going to try to explain what goes on other than to say there's a dead (maybe?) guy that likes to watch people fuck in strange ways. It isn't on netflix, but is easily worth the 15 or so you'd pay from an amazon seller.

Murder Set Pieces - The exploitable elements are present here, but I just couldn't get into it. Seems like it goes out of it's way for shock value and unlike some other movies that have the same strategy, this movie has no fun while doing so.

Bare Behind Bars - Easily the most over the top non/semi hardcore sex scenes i've seen in a WIP flick. This one may have had a plot too, but who really cares. It isn't quite the all around experience that I loved so much with the Big Bird Cage, but it's still a pretty funny flick.

queued up next: The Big Doll House and City of the living dead

Um-hum. I just took a trip to Wikipedia to refresh my memory and I only just now learned that the one thing that really stuck with me about Flesh Gordon, the sleazy, dirty talking giant alien-thing, was voiced by none other than Craig T. Nelson. Aside from the sight of a ginormous alien smokily muttering out salacious dialogue like an effeminate pimp, I can't recommend it on firt impression. I'll admit that said first impression - that being that the film is tame and boring - was a while ago, so maybe I'll get around to seeing it again and judge it differently, maybe, but I'm in no rush.

The Candy Snatchers - You know, I thought the kid was just really quiet until I read the imdb description of this movie. Good fun stuff though!

Ginger - stick with the trailer. All the fun stuffs there. Doesn't help that the main broad has tits like a sock full of coins.

well i'm going to have to watch that one now.

About halfway through the 76 minute epic "Splatter: Naked Blood." With a title that has three of my favorite things, I have to get worried when none of them have shown up yet. I'll be back with more.

Don't let it die!

City of the Living Dead - as mentioned before, there are quite a few, 3 to be exact, that die by having hte back of their heads ripped off. The story is a mess, and the ending was actually a compromise because they supposedly lost the real footage. This movie however gets a pass because of two specific scenes of gore that I won't spoil, but they were good enough not only to overcome the previous flaws, but to get me to check out some other Fulci.

Cannibal Holocaust - Considering the reputation this movie has, I was expecting something akin to Braindead, but what I got was a more intelligent Blair Witch Project. This is one of an elite crowd of movies, one of a few that really affected me. I recommend this to any fan of real horror.

Time to pop in with a couple more reviews for any one still paying attention:

Chained Heat - Starring the chick from the Exorcist, Dean Wormer from Animal House, Sybil Danning, and a bright orange boom mic, Chained Heat is considered to be top of the line of women in prison flicks. This one was fun and interesting, BUT i still prefer "The Big Bird Cage." The acting is atrocious, the look is dated, the boom mic has more scenes than Linda Blair, The story doesn't make any sense. Great movie. 6/10

Schoolgirls in Chains - It has been a while since I watched an exploitation movie that I would consider to be truely great. This is one of em. Emotionally stunted brothers kidnap women to be the younger brother's playmates, all the while under the order of a mysterious "mother." Sleaze? Check. Rape? Check. Violence and gore is somewhat lacking, and it's a shame because if there was some this would be damn near perfect. The acting is passable, the chicks are pretty easy to look at, the biggest bad thing was the saw it coming a mile away mother twist.

The Centerfold Girls - This one is quite strange. I also have now seen the same actress raped in two separate and unrelated movies. A religious nut goes on a killing spree aimed at immoral nude models. Lots of nudity, little gore, great scene chewing bad guy, strange first act..this is another near classic.

I also finally received my order from "Revenge is My Destiny." Let's go back, I ordered from there and from horrortheatervideo on the same day. HTV came in a week, was cheaper, but only came in envelopes and prints of varying quality. Revenge took almost an extra month, but came in professional looking DVD boxes with real artwork on a decent paper stock. Most of the movies have trailers. It isn't much, but if a few extra dollars and a little more patience isn't a big deal to you, I'd go with revenge for the presentation alone. Quick and Cheap, HTV is your place.

I've been reticent to recommend any gialli in this thread (when I remember that it exists) because I've never been able to collate those films (save New York Ripper) with what I generally consider to be exploitation, but I just watched Umberto Lenzi's Eyeball a.k.a The Secret Killer again last night and I have to say that it really is fun for all the wrong reasons and is worth a mention here.

If you call yourself a fan of gialli (and I do) then you'd have to be willing to forgive and maybe even embrace certain lapses in logic that are so prevalent within the genre to almost be considered a trope. You can do that, but if you're watching Eyeball then you'll be struck w/ a certain feeling that it was specifically built not just to tax your suspension of disbelief, but to beat and rape it into total submission right up until the end credits.

In a nutshell, we've got a group of people in Spain off the same tour bus, being slaughtered by an enigmatic, red raincoated killer with a predilection for eyeball thievery.

The characters, such as they are, are all extremely obtuse, just goofy as all get out. Everyone has a red herring moment and they pretty much all make absolutely zero fucking sense (a father shaving and then giving his sleeping teenage daughter an ominous glare whilst brandishing the razor is a particularly mystifying example, especially since it just happens and then is never brought up again).

Eyeball also has a schizoid relationship with homosexuality that's played out between two lesbian characters (Ines Pellegrini & I think, Olga Pehar as the pants) that round out the cast. First Lenzi attempts to titillate w/ some moderate bedside shenanigans between the two, then falls into the trap of depicting the more "masculine" Pehar as harsh, bitter and domineering and the more feminine Pellegrini as vulnerable and sympathetic.
Lenzi then plays the "homosexuals are predatory" card by having our lead John Richardson tell his female companion, referring to Pehar the "butch", to "stay away from that woman". This warning comes completely unprovoked as Pehar has demonstrated almost zero interest in any other female in the group outside of her girlfriend (still wouldn't be warranted, but at least it would give the remark some relevancy). It's made all the more ridiculous and insulting when our homophobic hero (who, by the by, is also a self-centered, adulterous, male chauvinist prick who gets a completely undeserved happy ending) asks Pehar for help later on (like I said, logic and/or consistency need not apply).

Yet the real winner in the film, the moment to beat all, is the revelation of the killer's identity and the motive for the murders. I'm almost certain that there is not a loopier, completely bugfuck retarded motivation for murder in any gialli or murder mystery film out there, that can beat what Lenzi and co. came up with for Eyeball.

It's outrageously dumb and made special because in the interim it's a completely random motivation and doesn't have anything to do with what was going on between the central characters.
At the end the killer just kind of spouts out the reason and your just left sitting there like, what the fuck does that have to do with anything!?

It's all of that, it's the delriously campy and spastic quality of the film that makes it work contrary to the way that it wants to work yet it entertains you just the same. In the end, Eyeball is such a total Ed Woodian "fuck you" to competence that I can't help but admire it.

It warms my heart to see some activity here.  I haven't been able to watch as many lately, but I am still keeping up with the recommendations.  Just recently watched "House on the Edge of the Park" and "The New York Ripper" and can recommend both.  NYR more so than the other, but both pretty entertaining.  I'm realizing I really like Fulci and his particular brand of gore.
