Eat your heart (ETC) out: ANTROPOPHAGUS (Joe D’Amato, 1980)

Eat your heart (ETC) out: ANTROPOPHAGUS (Joe D’Amato, 1980)

Joe D’Amato was a prolific director of around 200 films in a wide range of genres, but is best known for his horror and erotic ones. Antropophagus is not one of his ‘best’ (if that word even means anything in these genres) but has developed a cult following in the forty years since its release. D’Amato did not make many cannibal films for some reason – we have previously reviewed his Black…

Hilariously Bad Movies Month 1 - Troll 2

Hilariously Bad Movies Month 1 – Troll 2

Ahh, so bad it’s good. Movies of this sort are the reason I started blogging in the first place, even if I never link to my old blog because I’m not a fan of my older posts. Anyway, this sort of movie isn’t for everyone, and even for someone like me, who’s enjoyed hilariously bad movies for at last 15 years now, I need to be in the right mood. For the month, I’m going to introduce to you this…

Don’t Mind the Glowing, Ominous Hole in the Wall. That’s Just a Gateway to Evil. “Beyond Darkness” reviewed! (Severin / Blu-ray)

A witch acolyte of Ameth, an underworld demon, is executed on multiple counts of child murder.  The priest who oversaw the witch’s last rites came in with a doubtful heart and upon researching Ameth through an unholy book, disavowed his own religion only to fall into a near drunken stupor of atheism.  Months later, a new priest and his family move into a home arranged by the archdiocese, but soon…

Deliria

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo tornati dopo molto tempo a parlare di letteratura e l’abbiamo fatto grazie a Il segreto del Bosco Vecchio di Dino Buzzati. Buzzati è uno dei miei scrittori italiani preferiti in assoluto e grazie a quell’articolo non solo ho potuto dimostrarlo, ma ho potuto anche discutere di tematiche molto ricorrenti nelle sue opere. Attraverso…

Deep Blood (1990) will give you cinematic thrombosis. #SharkWeak4🦈 #Review

Reaching deep into the chum bucket of bad shark movies for Shark Weak 4, I’ve managed to dredge up the cinematic equivalent of a decomposing fish head in the form of 1990’s spectacularly awful Italian sharksploitation flick DEEP BLOOD. Four friends head off on vacation but when a killer shark starts to terrorise the beach community where they’re staying and kills one of their number, the…

But it’s not just the house or the hoards of hungry birds that they…

Horror Movie Review: Absurd (1981)

A solid horror flick that perhaps borrows too much from Halloween to be taken seriously.

Earlier this year as part of our ‘The Nasties’ series, we checked out Joe D’Amato 1980’s low-grade, Italian horror movie Antropophagus. It delivered a solid cast, decently paced story, and classy finale. Resulting in easily one of the video nasty highlights. Why mention Antropophagus? Well, D’Amato and star of it, George Eastman, would reunite for the 1981 horror movie Absurd. Also known as…

Cinema Eclectica 161 - Vera Drake in 4DX

In a week that includes a new Star Wars film then that’s what you have to do, which is why we can’t ignore the release of “Solo: A Star Wars Story”. Unfortunately Graham, Aidan and Sarah are all at very different levels of the Star Wars fandom, so what will they make of it?

More importantly, who paid extra to see it in 4DX and was it worth it?

After that it’s business as usual with Off the…

BEYOND THE DARKNESS

BEYOND THE DARKNESS REVIEWED “Beyond the Darkness” is a Joe D’Amato movie that straddles the lines of good taste. Yeah, I know…another one. This is a film about a taxidermist turning his dead wife into a doll. He still kinda wants to have sex with it, but he wants the body to hold. Then, he replaces her eyeballs with pieces of glass. All the while, Goblin music blares as you wait for the horror…

Antropophagus, di Joe D’Amato. Fetus, pollutions.

Mi si nota di più se scrivo enne volte alla settimana, o se scrivo una volta sola? Ok, pubblico un post ogni sette giorni. No guardate, ho cambiato idea, pubblico solo quando mi va, perché blogger vuol dire libertà. Oggi è il giorno, sento l’urgenza morale, pedagogica, escatologica, di battere un colpo a favore degli obliviati, di quelli che vivono e vivranno sempre nell’ombra come un senso di…

Regia – Michele Soavi (1987)

Uno dei talenti più cristallini del cinema italiano di genere (almeno prima che finisse a dirigere fiction a rotta di collo) è stato Michele Soavi, a cui tuttavia non è mai stato dato il credito che meritava. E io di questa cosa non mi capacito, perché si ricorda certa gentaglia improponibile, mentre uno come Soavi, che aveva una personalità fortissima e una capacità…
