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!
When you wrap some meat up for a meat roll-up. Mmmmm!
But, baby! I just could not resist that ass!

Dear God No ! (2011)


































  A gang of bloodthirsty, alcohol-drug-thirsty bikers, called The Impalers, go on their usual rampage, killing, raping, abusing substances etc. Their way takes them to a scientist's house where they conduct their usual tricks. Until they find out that the scientist has ties with the Nazi party and a many more secrets better left hidden...
  James Bickert is behind this well hidden, ballsy jewel. This is the real deal! Real grindhouse and pure exploitation in a time that this genre seems to be forgotten. Bikers, Nazis, monsters, drugs, alcohol, naked women and tons of cheesiness, this is as good as it gets in our days. Shocking cinema for prude modern audiences filled up to the neck with the references you love.
  Jett Bryant, the no-good son-of-a-bitch in lead of the gang. Paul McComiskey, the distorted Nazi scientist.
Olivia LaCroix, his hot Nazi wife and Madeline Brumby as his even-hotter, always-horny daughter! Impressive performances from actors that do not lack in self-sarcasm and are not afraid to break the rules! A big congratulations for them by me!
Must watch this : on a rainy Sunday morning with a good caramel cappuccino and the company of an always-horny girl. After the film, proceed to some animalistic, twisted sex under the tunes of White Zombie.

Chain Gang Women (1971)


































  A psychotic murderer escapes from the county jail he is imprisoned in but drags along his co-inmate, with whom he shares the same chains. The co-inmate's girlfriend assists them in their escape but she is soon raped by the ruthless maniac. They go on a killing and raping spree until they confront a man and his teenage wife!
  Offensive and raw until the very end, a classic creation of Lee Frost, this film stands out in the pile of quality trash! Classic story about escaping convicts but with a twist. We are used to criminals escaping for a reason (revenge, girl, kids etc) but not here. In this flick you will meet the worst case of criminal activity; the one that has no reason and therefore has no means of being stopped. The crime done only for the action itself, not for a higher reason, for the satisfaction of the evil urge inside the perpetrator's will.
  Michael Stearns and Robert Lott,the bad and the not so bad, the killer and the pot dealer. An interesting duo with good performances by these two actors (too good for a film like this I might add). Barbara Mills and Linda York, the teenage wife and the girl who fell for the wrong guy. Not as good as the male leads but they certainly bring another air to the movie. An everyday, sexy drenched into depravity kind of. You either love it or hate it. Nothing in between!
Must watch this :  with a glass of neat whiskey on a hot summer night with a girl that you know that likes you but wants to play mind games. "Rape" her in the middle of the film so she knows you mean business. Be ready to run afterwards if she takes it too seriously!

She-Devils on Wheels (1968)


































  An all-female biker gang gets busy creating chaos and anarchy in their territory and organizing regular races. The winner of the race gets to pick first from their male harem! When an all-made gang starts to threat their territory, they just have to answer with force!
  Super cheesy grindhouse film! Herschell Gordon Lewis is one notorious motherfucker,known for his super low-budget films with ultra cheap effects. This one isn't much of a difference, all packed with actors who try very hard to be convincing and a story that is not actually a story. Macho women, bikes, sexual depravity, gangs and the beloved America of the 70's. You just can't but love the decadence in that stuff!
  It is definitely not a classic Lewis film concerning the gore, but it is Lewis in any other aspect. There are actually two actors here and the rest is actually gang members so not much to say on acting. It can't get any more realistic than that. Cool poster too!
Must watch this : on your lowest of days to remind you that stuff can get worse at any time. It will actually cheer you up with its efforts and all. After the film, ride your bike (or bicycle) and go around ringing doorbells in your neighborhood. Thug Life!

I Drink Your Blood (1970)


































  A group of rumbling worshipers of Satan arrives in a small town and sets up business in an old abandoned house. They go on committing random illegal acts, harassing the townsfolk. At some point they rape a local girl and when her grandfather goes after them, they treat him with a good dose of LSD. His grandson , out for revenge, supplies them with pies infected with blood from a rapid dog. Chaos ensues!
  A fine piece of exploitation and a perfect example of grindhouse. Satanism, violence , hippies, drugs and sex all in one hit in this legendary film by David E. Durston. It is definitely not a politically correct film but it isn't too much to take either. Each of its shocking elements is given in the right non-deathly dosage! For a starting exploitation viewer it is a good movie to start the addiction!
  Another good thing is that the cast actually gives an overall good performance ; not too amateur but not too professional either. All portray their characters really well, from the LSD-driven cult leader Indian (?) to the evil kid there is a harmony of evil and degradation!
Must watch this : on a really hot summer day. But, shut the drapes and the let the insufferable heat and sweat take you on this bad LSD trip!
