The Astro-Zombies (1968)

  Dr. DeMarco conducts his morbid experiments secretly while attempting to create humanoids put together from various body parts with the ultimate goal of controlling them using his electronic devises.  When one if his creations escapes, it sets off on a killing spree and draws the attention of the F.B.I, the C.I.A and other agencies. While everyone is trying to stop him, the mad doctor puts every effort in fulfilling his goal...
  Given the fact that Ted V. Mikels directed this one, it does not strike as a surprise to anyone who watches this film as to why this film is like that. Don't get me wrong, though. This film has every little aspect that guarantees a Z-rate cult film success and that is pretty much everything in small doses. Little bit of Science-Fiction,a little bit of Gore, a pinch of Spy/Mystery adventure and if you add to that a strong essence of Psychedelia then you get AstroZombies. Sadly, the film lacks a strong amount of any of its aforementioned elements to reciprocate for plotholes and a absurd storyline. But even so, AstroZombies does not get crappy enough to be labeled as "Must not watch this". You just need enough psychoactive substances, I guess...
  To be honest, that main thing that draw my attention to this flick (and I am guessing most people's out there) is the fact that Tura Satana has a role in it. Plus, the fact that it is one of the last films that Wendell Corey appears in. For those that don't know, Tura Satana played the iconic role in Faster! Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Corey had a long career in both cinema and television. John Carradine (another well-respected actor with a long career) plays the mad scientist and it makes sense that the plot revolves around him too. Additional roles by Tom Pace and Joan Patrick. Thumbs up for the humanoid and the original poster artwork. They really had me there!
Must watch this : strictly for the thrill of it! I mean, come on, it has everything you need to fill a good 92 minutes. Enough action to not let you get bored, enough psychedelic dancing (?) and goodlooking ladies and enough fake science theories and gore. Just make sure there is enough cider in the fridge to go with the flick. Sour and sparkly as they are both.

Blood Feast (1963)

  Suburban Miami during the 60's. An elegant lady is organizing a celebratory feast and decides to ask the help of a local, highly recommended caterer. Only this is no ordinary caterer and he will do anything to collec the body parts he needs in order to wake an ancient Egyptian goddess back to life...
  Man, how do I love these films?! When everyone sees just another ultra low fidelity, super cheap and sleazy shitty film, I see a revolution. An involuntary one, to be exact. Sure, this is another one of those cheap films that geeks only watch, but see how easily Herschell Gordon Lewis spits in the eye of the politically correct society and demeanor of his times. See how breezily he does not try to convince you of his artistic talent but rather grab you by the hair and drag you down the path that is Z-grade cinema, free of pretention, art for art. And when art is done for art, you know it has absolutely no meaning!
  Mal Arnold is the sick caterer with the dark motives, Connie Mason is the little innocent sacrificial (sic) lamb (and boy how soft her flesh looks), Lyn Bolton is her mother who unbeknown to her  has let the Egyptian slayer in their house and William Kerwin is the man who can put an end to it all! No tricks here, what you see is what you get. Raw acting or even raw absence of acting but the feeling is right. Downright filthy, straigt-edge cult! Dig in!
Must watch this : extra large portion of lamb chops, a big bowl of lettuce on the side (you gotta get those fibers,baby!) and a glass of brandy. You are going to need that taste of blood in your mouth while watching this gem!

Gee! You are a real butcher...with your prices!

Cannibal Ferox (1981)

  A group of anthropologists take a journey in the jungles of Colombia hoping to prove that the traditional tribes are not cannibals. They stumble upon a band of drug dealers who use the natives to process the coca leaf. When the natives can't take no more, it's time for a bloody revenge...
  Banned in 31 countries until recently, this film is definitely not a treat for the virgin eyes. Umberto Lenzi spares no expenses in making yet another violently shocking cannibal film. The level of gore is more than the average and you get fancy little scenes of random mutilation, torture and some extra violence on animals (the last one is real). It is rightfully considered a classic in its genre but be warned ; if you are used to tomato-style blood in films maybe you are not ready for it yet!
  Giovanni Lombardo Radice, Lorraine De Selle, Danilo Mattei, Zora Kerova and Walter Lucchini. It's not a surprise many of the actors in the cast where billed with a fake name. Not all actors were confident enough to be sure that their name in a film of such gore and violence would not hurt their possible careers. Nevertheless, the Italian finesse (even in such a film) is visible in the actors' performances ; you can sense that beneath the filth and shock lies talent!
Must watch this : we all have our violent anger outbreaks every now and then. If not, then I should better check myself. The point is that during those outbreaks when you really need to strangle a motherfucker, it is better to put this film to play. You won;t be hurting anyone but still you will get he satisfaction that somebody is getting it, real hard and painful!

So, how about I show you girls this thing I was talking about the other day?

Color Me Blood Red (1965)

  A young painter at the end of his inspiration decides to start experimenting with his own blood instead of red paint. Finding his new project morbidly exciting, he keeps using his blood for paint until he is too weak to go on and so he starts taking blood from people he kills. When it's for art, how far is too far?
  An interesting addition to the legend of Herschell Gordon Lewis, Color Me Blood Red is a flick deep into the exploitation genre. While its character is downright low-budget and amateur, its main idea and plot is quite interesting and innovative. The classic Gordon Lewis gore and fake blood effects are all there to please even the most demanding eye plus we get a handful of violence all in favor of art and creation. They just don't make them like that anymore.
  For some reason, acting follows a specific pattern I would only expect from a Gordon Lewis film. Following that rule, the actors appear stiff at some points because they were not professionals and this was not a serious production but they still keep they easy-going mood, I-don't-give-much-shit-that-I-am-looking-in-the-camera approach of a true exploitation actor. Gordon Oas-Heim is the experimenting painter, Elyn Warner is his girlfriend who has to take it all and Scott H. Hall is the owner of a gallery that has the privileged to host these bloody creations.
Must watch this : with a friend who studies Art and a selection of everything red ; a juicy steak, tomatoes, red wine, a Bloody Mary etc. Then start a conversation about the pretense of most artistic endeavors and argue on what is art and what is not. Good conversations start from shitty sources!

The Wizard of Gore (1970)

  A mysterious performer becomes the talk of the town when he starts his live show in which he performs illusion tricks with lots of realistic gore. A TV hostess and her boyfriend start closing in on him as they feel that he can hypnotize people and make them participate in his deadly shows. What is real and what is not?
   Herschell Gordon Lewis was already a known figure in the world of sleazy cult when he made this film. And that fact ensures that the Wizard of Gore is going to be full of the cheap-thrill and sleazy elements that we love. The amount of gore is generous enough to satisfy even the most demanding sick eye. Together with the heavy air of exploitation that lingers on the film and the twisting plot, The Wizard of Gore is an entertaining flick for any open-minded viewer.
  Classic acting for a film of this kind but not the bad kind. Ray Sager goes all in his role as Montag, the perverted magician and Judy Cler tries unsuccessfully to stop him from killing all those innocent bimbos. Even if the overall acting is not so bad, all the actors seem to be trying to much to seem as actual actors, like they know someone is watching and they are tense to appear realistic. This did not set me off but made the film seem more down to earth and thus surrealistic!
Must watch this : make a juicy steak with the blood and everything and celebrate gore and murder by watching this film and then blasting this butchery shit !

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!

Society (1989)

  Bill, a young man from an upper class family, has strange feelings that he is different from anyone else. He can't feel close with his family and even his girlfriend gives him a weird feeling. Bill will find out the truth about his feelings when he accidentally crashes his parents' party. The truth will not be one to like...
  Brian Yuzna's debut as a director is one hell of a grotesque ride! A teenager with socializing issues finds out the ugly truth about high society! This film will fuck your brain both visually and mentally! You will get all the gory, flowy, oozing sequences that the 80's made us appreciate and you will get enough food for thought! Just don't start the conspiracies...or should you?
  Billy Warlock plays (you guessed it) Billy, the young man the finds himself in the claws of his capitalist family and neighborhood. I do love his genuine reactions and acting especially when shit turns out bad. Classic performances by the rest of the cast but that's not to scare you off. You have got to watch this film!
Must watch this : just when you are about to get a job at a big, high-grossing company. Don't eat anything while watching it and it's probably better to watch this alone. Use what you see in your daydreams at work.

Basket Case (1982)

  A young man in a big city, carrying around a small bamboo basket. Inside he keeps his deformed Siamese twin brother who has a distorted sense of devotion and a high killing urge. The "normal" brother goes around town seeking revenge from the doctors that helped separate them against their will while trying to pursue a love affair with an unsuspected young lady. But, no one can escape the basket!
  Frank Henenlotter strikes back with this instant 80s comedy horror classic. They had a different way to making you scared back then! And of course they could make you laugh while you were trembling with fear. This movie has everything you seek in a film of its time : gore (pathetically done but awesome), a fucked-up story, outcast characters and general degradation of society! I love that shit!
   Kevin Van Hentenryck does a great job in a movie such as this. He looks as if he is the guy he pretends to be. Totally weird and alienated. And of course, Terri Susan Smith is his potential 80's hottie girlfriend and you just have to see it to feel it! I loved the special effects too. Simply a puppet and some stop-motion and bam! you got a monster right there. Watch this!
Must watch this: on your lowest of days! Swallow down your pills that make you happy, lose your depression and get some laughs and scares! Have some cheap beer and cheaper pizza while doing so!

Frankenhooker (1990)

  A medical school dropout loses his fiancée in a tragic (but funny) lawnmower accident. Devastated by his loss, he decides to bring her back. Unfortunately, all he has is her head, so in order to bring her back to life he lures and kills prostitutes and takes the parts he needs for his beloved wife-would-have-been.
  Fucked-up gore comedy in the vein of 80s classics. Frank Henenlotter is a known psycho director of this genre so he does not fail to bring forth what we expect from him. Body parts flying in the air, black humor, impossible science and a bunch of obscure characters make this funny fling happen! If you are too easily offended by stupidity and cheap effects, don't watch but otherwise dig in.
  James Lorinz gives the performance of his life here as a lunatic scientist obsessed with bringing back his dead love. A true Frankenstein of his era (not), he is a Dr. Emmett Brown but one of obscure and twisted experiments. Joanne Ritchie & Patty Mullen fill in the various gaps in the film with their figures but not with their acting skills and give it the cheesy atmosphere it is supposed to have!
Must watch this : alone because your friends may make fun of you for the films you are watching. So, screw them, make yourself a light cocktail and watch this on a random night!

Psychos in Love (1987)

  A strip-club owner and a manicurist meet by chance, start a romance and find that they have more in common than they thought ; they are both serial killers with a maximum killing overdrive. They enter a weird relationship in which each of them goes on satisfying their lethal needs while being madly in love with one another. Their "quiet" lives are disturbed when a potential victim (a plumber) turns out to be a cannibal!
  Another 80's absurdity! They were into some weird drugs back then and the results are movies like this. Director Gorman Bechard does not break any new ground with this but the fact that he directs such a movie means a lot. Nothing too shocking in the settings or in the photography.Only the story itself!
  Carmine Capobianco and Angela Nicholas go together really well as the psycho couple. They actually seem psychotic at times, which is really good. Due to the filter of the camera and the acting, the film is full of irony and sarcastic,black humor which gives it a whole new direction. Don't take this movie seriously. Just enjoy!
Must watch this : with your psychotic girlfriend/boyfriend.If you are single find your weirdest psychotic friend, watch this together and then make out with him/her after a luxurious meal at your local McDonald's (sic).
