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!

Castle of Blood (1964) a.k.a Danza Macabra


































  Journalist Alan Foster argues with Edgar Allan Poe about the authenticity of his stories and in the end the journalist accepts an abnormal bet by a Lord Blackwood ; he has to survive one night in a haunted castle on the night of All Soul's Eve. Much to the journalist's disbelief, spirits and ghost of those murdered there start to appear and re-enact how they were murdered...
  From the golden era of Italian gothic horror, comes this fine film by master Antonio Margheriti. Sergio Corbucci also leaves a small trace in this atmospheric trip into the twilight zone. Ghost legends and stories about murder were always fascinating and Castle of Blood exploits that human niche for paranormal entities in the spookiest of ways. The atmosphere and tensity of the film is elevated to another level by the astounding goth settings that give a higher tone of credibility to the story.
  Georges Rivière plays the journalist who so bravely entered the ghost castle and fell in love with a ghost pretending to be alive, the magnificent Barbara Steele. Margrete Robsahm, Arturo Dominici and Silvano Tranquilli (as Edgar Allan Poe) fill up the remaining seats but once again the awe-inspiring posture of Barbara Steele once again leads the dance of the dead!
Must watch this : on an unholy summer night, light up the most red candles you can find and dim all lights as much as possible. Invite your unholy girl, serve the most ghostly sweet red wine and proceed with the seance of watching this film. After the initial seance,continue with a sexual seance under the influence of the unholy fuzz .

A Fistful of Dollars (1964) a.k.a Per Un Pugno Di Dollari


































  A mysterious gunslinger with no name arrives in a rusty old town by the Mexican border. He soon sees that the town is torn apart by a burning hatred between the two leading families there. He decides to fuel the fire for his own profit...
  The film that started it all! Sergio Leone puts his mark on the beginning film of the so-called trilogy of the Man with no name.There's guns a-blazing, wind a-blowing and sand a-covering everything on this masterpiece of film art. Heavy atmosphere (like the one you get when too much testosterone come around) that makes you take the movie seriously from the start and a fast-pacing plot that won't let you take your mind from it. I don't think there is anything more compelling than western films like this especially when the soundtrack (by Ennio Morricone) is equally breathtakingly good!
  As always, Clint Eastwood is amazing and presents a flawless depiction of his character. Swift and cunning, he takes on his enemies one by one. Gian Maria Volonté, Antonio Prieto, Sieghardt Rupp and Wolfgang Lukschy meet their master in his face and regret their hate-driven lives. And since there had to be a woman role to ease the mood, Marianne Koch fits perfect right in the middle!
Must watch this : call up your real men friends (make sure they are real men) and enjoy this film while sampling cigars and bourbon on hot summer night!

The Evil of Frankenstein (1964)


































  Totally broke, Dr.Frankenstein returns to Karlstaad and starts his experiments once again in his family castle. He requires the assistance of a hypnotist called Zoltan in order to reanimate the creature, but Zoltan has other plans for it. He orders it to wreak havoc in town for his own profit and Frankenstein has to stop them both...
  Freddie Francis' first attempt at directing seems to have paid off just fine. Recreating and enhancing the dark persona of Dr.Frankenstein, Francis puts his own touch to the film legend. All the gothic and the Sci-Fi elements are there but this time we get an extra dosage of mysticism and parapsychology which definitely makes the film gloomier and more dangerous. A fine film with a smooth progress that doesn't let you get bored.
  Peter Cushing once again as Dr.Frankenstein and this time he sees his creations being abused by some other malevolent personality besides him. His arch enemy, Peter Woodthorpe blends in effortlessly in the film's mood. Katy Wild as the beggar girl and Sandor Elès as Frankenstein's assistant complete the main cast of this mesmerizing flick!
Must watch this : on a hot summer evening with a plate full of fish and chips. I don't know why but it seems like a good combination with this film.

Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964)


































  Six random people are lured to a small town in the South where citizens are preparing for the Centennial. The festivity mood intoxicates the six people that have no idea of the reason of the celebration, which is to kill six Yankees as a revenge for the town's destruction during the Civil War...
  Considered by many Herschell Gordon Lewis' most complete film, this is one real shocker. Social distortion at its finest, fake blood, gore, South vs. North all set in the beautiful American landscape.Highly entertaining in its essence and most thrilling in its mood, this film may be offensive to many people but then again who cares?
  The actors are all B-movie cast (or even C or D) so make no mistake about that. Don't expect something that will change your life but be sure that the actors do their amateur best to portray their characters whether it's an old hillbilly or a frightened girl. In what they do, no one can beat them so fuck Oscars and the likes!
Must watch this : right before you set off for a road trip with your friends to a village in the middle of nowhere.This movie will make you extra suspicious against "them old village peeps". Remember to take knives with you for protection! Why knives and not guns, you'll ask...Gun's for show, knife's for a pro!

Lorna (1964)


































  Lorna, married to Jim for a year.Jim, hard-working straight-shooting fellow who loves his wife more than anything. Luther and Jonah, Jim's co-workers who love to give him a good tease. It all goes wrong when the sexually unsatisfied Lorna is raped by an escaped convict and she finds herself in love with him. Jim is brought to his limits and violence follows.
  One of Russ Meyer's better films, this one here deals with everything that you love about this director. Action and reaction, sin and retribution, moral equilibrium and lots of sex and violence. The vicious circle of violence and hate engulfs each character in their own way and no one gets out unharmed, some more than others. Dive into the very depths of human soul and its fucked-up complexes and find out how quickly violence solves everything. No man, no problem.
  Top-notch cast here as always. Russ Meyer never disappoints with his choice of actors, especially with the female ones. Lorna Maitland (as voluptuous Lorna), James Rucker as Jim, master Hal Hopper as Luther, Doc Scortt as Jonah and Mark Bradley as the raping convict. Each magnificent in their unique style, each exploring the depths of their characters' soul. Each ready to break from the pressure of their feelings, each a painting of normal people's feelings and a reminder that violence may not be right but it is certainly needed. Lorna, though, gets what she deserves!
Must watch this : with female companion over a fine dinner. After the film talk about gender equality in our days.

Onibaba (1964)


































  Japan.14th century.With the ongoing war,a man is forcefully drafted in the army leaving his mother and wife alone and helpless in their bamboo hut by a swamp. Miserable and underfed they make their way through life by killing lost soldiers and selling their equipment to a local merchant for small amounts of food. A friend and co-fighter of the man escapes the army, returns to his hut by the women's hut and after he informs them of his death he sets out to disrupt their weird relationship and satisfy his post-war syndromes.But the mother knows better.Or does she?
  Poetry.Pure poetry.These two words simply define this masterpiece of a movie! Kaneto Shind goes over the top directing this simple but emotionally charged story.War, human degradation, sensual and sexual climax, loneliness, revenge and folklore all blended well in this film. The scenery is purely magnificent (rural Japan) and combines perfectly with the characters' emotions.
  The acting load is divided into the three main characters - the mother,the wife and the man that returned - and all three portray their roles with the best way. My favorite is the mother, Nobuko Otowa, who truly gives a great performance. Bear in mind that Onibaba (鬼婆) is Japanese for Demon Hag.
  Don't watch this film if you haven't seen any other Japanese films of the same era. The awkward nudity and emotional hell that is common in Japanese films may make some uncomfortable.But do yourself a favor and watch this.They don't make them like that anymore!
Must watch this : with two or three people, without talking, each enjoying his favorite high-volume alcohol, sharing the awe.
