Rabid Dogs (1974) a.k.a Cani Arrabbiati

  After performing a violent robbery, three criminals try to escape Rome without getting caught. They take a woman and her child hostage and hijack a middle-aged man's car and force him to drive them all out of Rome. Will the hostages manage to stay alive under the criminals' pressure?
  The master of Italian horror, Mario Bava,  returns and this time he triggers primitive thrilling motions with this fantastic film here. I seriously could not find a dissatisfying element in it, not even a story loop or an unneeded pause. This film throws you in the thriller bucket and lets you there until the very end when it decides it is done with you. Film endings like the one here is the reason I have no respect for contemporary cinema!
  Nothing is left to chance when Bava is on the wheel and definitely not the actors. Don Backy, George Eastman and Maurice Poli vividly play the criminals and it is magnificent how each one's personality clashes with the other's. Lea Landri and Riccardo Cucciolla are the unfortunate hostages. The tremendous thrilling emotion that escalates throughout the film is a work of both the directing and the acting and since most of the film takes place inside a car, I can only say congratulations to the actors for performing so good in such limited space.
Must watch this : eating pizza and drinking Pepsi Twist on a hot summer night with a couple of friends (not more or the feeling of the movie will be lost if there is noise) and try not to talk throughout the film. When the end comes, jump surprised and yell.

Ceremonia Sangrienta (1973) a.k.a The Legend of Blood Castle

  An ageing cursed Countess finds that the blood of young women seems to restore her long lost youth and beauty. She falls in love with a young man whom she gets to bring her fresh dead girls using his vampiric curse and her thirst for blood never ends...
  Quality horror director Jorge Grau leaves his mark on yet another jaw-dropping film. The film narrates the story of Countess Bathory who allegedly bathed in the blood of young girls in order to stay young. Using a profound heavy atmosphere with silent and slow dialogues, the Grau manages to create a beautiful frightening  mood, like a sense that someone is after you. There is some nudity (of course, this is Europe) and some delightfully handled gore that definitely adds to the Gothic morale of the film.
  Lucia Boséius just the right person for playing Erzebeth Bathory. Her posture is magnificent and she seems to move like a real Countess. Espartaco Santoni is not such a good vampire but he gives real credit to his character while Ewa Aulin is the classic minx that can make even living dead fall in love with her. If it weren't for the actors' serious performances, the film would have been much more trashy and the whole horror quality would have been thrown down the drain!
Must watch this : on a rainy October night, alone with only a glass of sweet red wine.

Street of a Thousand Pleasures (1972)

  An American tourist traveling to an unnamed Middle Eastern country, saves the life of the local sheik. To return the favor and to express his gratitude, the sheik takes the young man to the Street of 1000 Pleasures where he can choose any woman he likes...
  And that's about all anyone can say about the plot of this film. Believe me when I say that in the first 5 or 6 minutes, the story has already run its course. Devoted nudie director William Rotsler does a very smart job although seemingly stupid; he knows the film is just an excuse for nudity and tits so he quickly gets over with the plot (because there has to be one) and lets the viewer take what he came for...
  Besides the young tourist who is played by Garth Ruger, the rest of the cast is all female. And we are not talking about 10-20 more actors, we are talking about almost 100 ladies flashing off their beauties casually in the film. Among them you can find Uschi Digard in a minor nude role and Malta while the rest of the ladies are mostly unknown amateur actresses. 
Must watch this : with a glass of Black Russian on a random boring weekday evening. Call up your friends and have it playing in the background while you chill. The random pauses for tits and ass will be very satisfying!

Werewolves on Wheels (1971)

  A gang of outlaw bikers strolling the desert comes across an old church which has been taken over by a satanic cult. The cult members host the bikers and after they have drugged them, they place a curse on the leader biker's girl. No one ever expected what came afterwards...
  Michel Levesque made a short but big contribution to the cult world. This film was one of the two (of the genre) he directed and we have to say that even if the progress of the plot is unconventional, we still can get the maximum cult satisfaction we can. Biker gangs, demonic rites from an evil cult, werewolves, the desert and tons of hallucinogenic drugs (don't tell me they were sober). It's that time of the year again!
  Steve Oliver, Donna Anders, Gene Shane and their team of hairy motherfuckers on wheels. Exactly the acting you expect from a film that holds such a title but there is a little twist. Supposedly, the majority of the bikers were actual bikers without any acting skills so by that token what you get is as pure as it gets.
Must watch this : at someone's place where you usually chill (we for example call it The House of Big Chill run by Odin). Get yourselves a healthy and big club sandwich, pour a glass of mixed alcohols of your taste and enjoy this fucker on a hot summer night. Cool off with that dusty tune .

Worst case of teenage change

Hear ye! Hear ye!

  We, here at 20,000 flicks under the ground headquarters, would humbly want to thank each person that ever clicked to log in the site and therefore each person that came back to read another review. Taking the exploitation, cult and old-times love to another level, we have to decided to collaborate with a bunch of young designers (and social rejects) to provide you with a series of T-shirts inspired by the elements we freaks have come to love.
  In a few days, we will start operating a merch store together with the newly-found Filthy Fabric team where you will be able to buy T-shirts inspired by movies reviewed here. Since we are still underpaid college students, the store will have little to show in the beginning but by giving us your opinion and support we can and will provide more and better!
  So, if you have an extra buck to spend and you want to help a bunch of kids continue their weekly trips to strip joints, supplement their weed allowance, fund their way into depravity and maybe (if there is any money left) collect money to continue their academic life, now you have an extra chance!

The Horror of Frankenstein (1970)

  The story of young scientist Victor Frankenstein whose passion with anatomy led him to perform abnormal experiments. Collecting spare parts from dead bodies and using the powers of electricity, Frankenstein aims to be able to give life to what is already dead. And he finally, succeeds....
  Times were a-changing and so Frankenstein had to do! Directed by Jimmy Sangster, this film had nothing to do with the previous and following of the series, starring Peter Cushing. In an attempted fresh new start, Frankenstein is young, mean and totally self-oriented while the film is much more cult than the rest from Hammer studios. The monster could have been better but no hard feelings since the atmosphere is satisfying. More sex, more gore and more exploitation. This film may have been the start of a change for Hammer Studios!
  Ralph Bates manages to stand very well in the shoes of his predecessor and while his character deserves some love in the end, he manages to portray a ruthless, sadistic figure who kills everyone that stand in his way. Veronica Carlson is sadly in love with him, not seeing the monster he really is and Graham James is his friend and colleague until he was no longer needed. Surprise appearance by Dennis Price and voluptuous Kate O'Mara who steals any scene she is in.
Must watch this : on the last day of summer when you feel the weather changing and the cold of winter coming in the distance. Make a hefty cup of Earl Grey tea and enjoy this film like a cold-hearted Briton !

Hedonistic Pleasures (1969)

  A documentary on the dirtier side of Los Angeles and how people affect it or are affected by it. Supposedly secret cameras document everyday lurid scenes in which explore their sexualities and the capabilities of money over flesh...
  Ed De Priest and this film are highly underrated, if you ask me. Setting aside the fact that this flick is something between a documentary and a mondo but in the bad kind of way, if you watch it just for the pictures it is a fucking piece of art. Not meaning to shock or arouse, this movie has plenty of artistic and full-frontal nudity that comes together with a majestic psychedelic score that simply takes you away to nowhere. Watch it just for fun and it works. Watch it and try to find a meaning and you lost the game!
  Pat Barrington in a classic nude role, reminding her glamor in Mondo Topless. Sharon Well, Natasha Steel and Nancy McGavin complete the (female, there is no point in talking about the male one) cast and the result is psychedelic essence in its purest, exploitation form.
Must watch this : open your mind, prepare a glass of White Russian, set the lights low, mute the film and have this lysergic motherfucker playing in the background.One.Two.Three.Take off!

The Blood of Fu Manchu (1968)

  Fu Manchu has found a strange species of snake whose venom only affects. In his powerful master plan, he inoculates ten women with this venom in order to poison ten male leaders, bring chaos in the world and eventually preparing millions of doses for his world domination...
  Even on meager budget Jess Franco once again proves not only that he can make a film but also that he can make a good film without depending too much on nudity and drugs. Exploiting the persona of the notorious villain Fu Manchu, Franco creates a thrilling adventure with intense scenes, of course a minimum amount of nudity and epic pulp characters and dialogues. Another underground classic by a perverted mind...
  Much of the film's success (or call it whatever you want) depends and can be attributed to Christopher Lee. Even under shitty situation and sarcastic roles, Lee manages to sustain a classy character and dominate most of the space that he can take. And since it's a Franco film, presences like Maria Rohm, Loni von Friedl, Shirley Eaton and Tsai Chin could not be absent!
Must watch this :  with your stoner friends, a bowl half-full of the best Buddha Haze you can find and sugar-full soda drinks! Get high, get cranked and start growing Fu Manchu beards under the tunes of those fuzzy bastards.

Something Weird (1967)

  A young man is involved in a terrible accident in which he is awfully disfigured in the face and acquires a set of weird psychic powers. A seemingly hot lady (only he can see her true nature) who works as a fortune teller offers to change his face only if he agrees to become her lover. An adventure out of the norm ensues...
  One of the most chaotic and out of the blue movies of Herschell Gordon Lewis, Something Weird is by far one of the most unexplainable plots you can ever witness in cinema. The movie easily surfs through karate practice, ghosts, gore, witches, sex and paranormal powers! Some say you have to watch this more than once to grasp its true meaning but truthfully I couldn't! So, any explanation about the meaning merely stays at a simple art-imitates-life and that any nothingness and vanity in finding the meaning simply co-relates to life's own gloomy vanity!
  It is indeed as weird a film as the title suggests and the following actors helped their way to make it so. Bombshell Elizabeth Lee and Mudite Arums are essentially the two different sides of the same person and
Tony McCabe is the unlucky fool to witness only the real, unpleasant side. And if that wasn't enough, he has the passionate William Brooker to bust his balls along the way!
Must watch this : sober in order to not to have any second thoughts if it was the film or your lack of consciousness. It was the film, don't bother. Also, I would advise not telling or showing it to anyone as they will get just another reason to take you for a lunatic.

One Million Years B.C. (1966)

  Tumak, the son a tribe's leader is punished to exile by his father. Wandering the unfriendly land he lives in, fighting off dinosaurs and beasts, he finds another tribe much less violent than his but he is banished from there also. A girl from the second tribe follows him and together they must face the wilderness once again...
  Incredibly ahistorical to the last minute but utterly entertaining, One Million Years B.C is a fantasy adventure film directed by Don Chaffey. The breathtaking sets give the film an amazing breath of credibility and bind perfectly with the stop-motion (thank Ray Harryhausen) scenes. Though kid-like at many points, this film luckily has some adult-level violence inside it that makes the caveman concept more realistic.
  John Richardson as Tumak is enjoyable and easily makes a role-model for a man, that right kind of man who shoots first and then asks questions. Raquel Welch (as Loana) needs no special introduction as she remains a sex symbol since then and it's always a pleasure to see sex symbols in prehistoric bikinis! Percy Herbert is the arch enemy of Tumak and ironically he is his brother. It's like Cane and Abel shit all over again!
Must watch this : with your girl and a selection of mixed nuts. Watch this naked in order to feel in touch with your caveman side and try to use no words after the film for at least two hours! Now that's life imitating art!

Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965)

  A spaceship carrying two astronauts lands on Planet X which is near Jupiter. There the two astronauts discover that the planet is inhabited by the Xians who officially ask help from planet Earth to destroy the monster, King Ghidorah. Godzilla and Rodan are captured and sent to Planet X to aid them in their fight but little do humans know that they have just fallen into a trap...
  A fascinating entry in the story of Godzilla and his monster friends. Directed by Ishirô Honda, this film combines all the elements of a classic successful KaiJu film. The basic storyline of the film may be too progressive (aliens invading Earth etc.) but all the beautiful monsters work their way out. There's not a chance you can't fall in love with the special effects which however non-realistic show a great talent. And of course, don't miss Godzilla's busting into a gleeful dance when he defeats Ghidorah.
  Akira Takarada as Fuji may be too rough with his sister but he also has to save the entire planet together with his partner Nick Adams as Glenn. Akira Kubo saves the world by mistake when he can't even defend his love with Keiko Sawai, Fuji's sister. It is interesting how little drops of drama can work out so well with a heavy Sci-Fi story like that but hey, this is cinema after all!
Must watch this : lightly drunk on sake will do the trick. Remember to accompany with noodles or sushi (choice is yours) and friends who won't laugh too hard with the film's special effects!

Kiss Me Quick (1964)

  Sterilox, an alien from a distant planet comes as an ambassador on Earth in order to find and bring back females with which his people can breed. Dr. Breedlove hosts him and treats him with a series of sexy dancing girl robots...
  Don't expect anything serious at all but what you are indeed expecting you will get. Bearing in mind that the genre's standards are extremely low, Peter Perry Jr. creates an unexpectedly funny nudie film filled with nude girls, monsters and tons of cheesy exploitation. The set is no more than a room filled with fake scientific machinery but that adds more than takes out from the film's atmosphere. A fine choice for laughs and easy-passing time!
  Max Gardens, Frank A. Coe and all the female cast have an sum amount of acting skill less than that of 10-year-old kid with stage fright but still the work is done. It must be that the girls are supposed to be all strippers that this film turned out well, an important factor that one should never undermine! Strippers never fail!
Must watch this : again let's remind not to take this film seriously. Thus, one should create a lovely banquet of club sandwich, french fries, dips and cheap soda drinks, invite over his mates and have a fascinating time staring at boobies for 67 minutes!

Samson and the Slave Queen (1963) a.k.a Zorro Contro Maciste

  The two nieces of late Nogara's King, Isabella and Malva, battle for the succession of the throne. Each one chooses a worthy hero to produce the will that will solve all matters. While Malva's ways are too malevolent, her strongman hero, Samson, eventually teams up with El Toro of Isabella to bring justice...
  Italian master Umberto Lenzi in one of his first films paves the way for future creations in the same category. The fairy tale-like atmosphere that the film creates is unique and is not for little girls only. With just the right scenes of sword-fighting and man-to-man wrestling, this film easily puts you in a feel-good mood with its simple storyline and classic but not boring plot twist. A manly adventure fantasy film for the sentimental but macho men out there!
  Pierre Brice plays El Toro a.k.a Zorro in this film and while his character's presence is not so dominant in the film, he smoothly co-stars Alan Steel as Samson a.k.a Maciste. This film is all about him, his jacked-up chest and ginger hair and his ultra-human power. Maria Grazia Spina beautifully plays Isabella, the good and naive of the two successors while Moira Orfei |(my personal favorite) is the foxy and cunning evil niece!
Must watch this : on a scorching hot day with chilli con carne and good lager beer. Turn on all the fans and air condition in the house, call up your friends, take a couch each and enjoy without moving a muscle!

Secret of the Red Orchid (1962) a.k.a Das Rätsel der Roten Orchidee

  Several wealthy Britons are being blackmailed all over Great Britain and two rival Chicago gangs are in the eye of the police. The gangs leave no trace behind them and so the difficult task is left to Scotland Yard's and F.B.I's finest, Inspector Weston and Captain Allerman...
  In yet another Edgar Wallace story, Helmut Ashley (a director known for his T.V work) does his best and provides a stunning result that can satisfy even the most demanding eye. Even though the story is not top-notch material, photography and directing give it a little push to stand on its own. Definitely not the best Wallace-based film but sure one you can easily enjoy.
  Adrian Hoven and Christopher Lee are the two investigators who are set out to find the extortioners and naturally Lee's appearance in the film guarantees quality acting. Klaus Kinski is once again morbidly entertaining with his unearthly look and adds up to Lee's figure and Marisa Mell takes it away with her stunning looks. Eddi Arent is the light-hearted one of the group and is absolutely humorous!
Must watch this :  invite the sophisticated girl from last night once again for another round of a sophisticated bohemian film noir night. Ask her to bring red wine with her. If she does, then prepare for a night of sophisticated seduction. If not, just enjoy the film anyway!
