The Devil Commands (1941)


































  Dr. Julian Blair unconventionally experiments with brain waves when his wife is killed in a car accident. He desperately tries to move the interest of his work into finding a way to communicate with the dead, with the mere purpose of talking to his wife again. Soon, the nature of his experiments is revealed...
  Edward Dmytryk directs this quite interesting piece of science fiction horror. Exploiting the theme of deranged scientists and their even more deranged creations, this film is drenched in Lovecraft vibe and cosmic terror. The fact that this film was directed when the rest of the world was bathing in blood seems shocking (to me), but even so this is a piece of cinema art worth checking out!
  Boris Karloff is one crazy motherfucker. No one could have walked in his shoes better in his role (and many others). He is an actor that truly belongs to his era; that of obscure scientific experiments and breakthroughs, occultism and fantasy without borders.
Must watch this : on a rainy Sunday night, with a cup of tea, wrapped in a blanket.
A little taste of scientific madness

Yakuza Graveyard (1976)


































  A delinquent cop on the verge of psychological breakdown, Kuroiwa, becomes "brother" of Nishida boss Iwata, who is at war with rival clan Yamashiro, and falls in love with Keiko, a former mafia boss' wife. Kuroiwa tries to put an end to the war between the Yakuza families but finds out that cops and mafia are equally corrupt.
  From the man that brought us the notorious Battle Royale, Kinji Fukasaku, comes this much older Japanese mafia film. A deep look into 70's Japanese lifestyle and society's morals, this film is more than just a cop movie. A man on the edge tries to find honor and dignity at both sides but sadly comes to the realization that almost everything except love is corrupt. For mature viewers only!
  Tetsuya Watari hits the spot! The paranoid and criminal on his hard, I-have-seen-it-all-so-try-me face blends perfectly with his character, lost in the streets of a lawless Japan that tries to retrieve its old-time glory. IImpressive skill, as most Japanese actors show. A huge thumbs up for the soundtrack too!
Must watch this : with a bowl of steamed rice and endless bottles of sake, enough to get you drunk the Japanese way.

Pretty Models All In A Row (1969)


































  Mr. Murphy, a photographer, invites models into his house for supposedly legitimate model work but lures them into having sex with him. At some point, he has invited so many models that he can't handle them all on his own. Unexpectedly, three domineering women arrive to his house and dominate him...
  That is some pretty fucked up film! Not for its non existent story, not even for its lame performances but for the mood that creates. Directed by Joseph F. Robertson and starring the notorious Ed Wood, this 'interesting' piece of cinema art is utterly filthy and cheap taste. You have been warned!
  The film actually boasts an impressive female cast ; Heather Starr,  Casey Larrain, Lynn Harris and many others. Impressive not for their acting skills but for their looks and the fact that they appeared in many other films besides this one. Ed Wood finally gets it out of his system (you will know why) and it makes me think whether or not this film was made for this reason...
Must watch this : I would recommend this even less than She Devils of the SS. If you are persistent to watch this, do so on a night of excessive drinking with a few of your bros.

Hercules In The Haunted World (1961) a.k.a Ercole Al Centro Della Terra


































  Princess Deianira is kidnapped by evil King Lico. In order to rescue her, Hercules must battle a stone monster and retrieve a golden apple from the Hesperides apple tree. Soon after he finds himself facing the horrors of Hades!
  Maria Bava's first color film (with Franco Prosperi) and certainly one of the best in its kind. Sword and sandal meets early 60's psychedelia combined in a cast of quality fantasy and story telling. The sets and effects are amazing (it is just like taking LSD and tripping through mythical Ancient Greece) and the atmosphere is downright eerie! They don't make them like that anymore!
  Leonora Ruffo plays the majestic as fuck Princess Deianira, Christopher Lee plays Lico and Reg Park is the mighty Hercules. This film was a success from the start, having Lee as the arch enemy and Reg Park (trainer of Arnold Schwarzenegger and probably the best Hercules so far) fight each other in a delirious vortex of mythical adventure!
Must watch this :  even though this is an Italian film, it has to do with Greece. So, dress up in a white bed sheet, take a ladle (for a sword) and enjoy this film with a Greek salad and some white wine on a hot summer day. Watch this only after you have grown a respectable beard.

She Devils of the SS (1973) a.k.a Eine Armee Gretchen


































  In the end of World War II, German girls start volunteering to serve in the front lines. Their mission is to help not by fighting but by having sex with the "brave" Nazi soldiers. Things are going pretty well until they get really complicated when the Soviet army is marching upon them.
  Erwin C. Dietrich is a real sick bastard! This film is nothing but exploitation of the most offensive kind. Indeed, She Devils of the SS are way more offensive on the matter than most other Nazisploitation film and the reason is that Nazi soldiers are portrayed as good guys! Combine that with sex in the Dietrich way and goofy characters and ta daa!
  I am not going to talk about acting as the film's characters are not ones to remember any other way than "the general", "the blonde", "the brunette with the nice tits"...So, if you were looking for high-class acting, walk away. The effects and costumes,on the other hand, are quite impressive, handled with vivid colors that actually recreate the era's mood!
Must watch this : I would not recommend this for any other reason other than for the experience. So, if you have to watch this, do it with a pint of German Weissbier and a selection of fine sausages, with or without your Nazi mustache on.

Night Of The Living Dead (1968), by Eat-UrBrains


































  Barbara is out in Pennsylvania with her brother for their annual visit to their father's grave. A weird man attacks them and all of a sudden, Barbara finds herself hiding in a farmhouse with other strangers in order to protect herself from the attacking zombies. It's feeding night and they ain't stopping!
  George A. Romero's full debut as a director definitely put him on the world map of high class directors. If the Italians hadn't been the ones to complete the concept, Romero would have been the father of zombies. Shot in grainy black-and-white, this film is a non-stop thrill ride with amazing characters struggling to stay alive while being attacked by hideous humanoids, all set peacefully in rural America.
  Judith O' Dead gives a hole other meaning to the term 'scream queen' and Duane Jones breaks all social taboos (being black and all) and proves to be quite the hero battling his way through flesh-eating zombies and nimrod hillbillies. All in all, this film boasts amazing performances and impressive effects and even more genuinity.
Must watch this : on a spooky, foggy Friday night with your friends and Monkey Brain shots. After the film, find the girl among your friends with knee-high striped socks and fuck her brains out.

Night of the Lepus (1972)


































  An Arizona ranch is infested with mongrel rabbits. To take rid of them, owner of the ranch gets the help of a special zoologist who starts injecting these rabbits with hormones and genetically mutated blood in order to disrupt their reproduction. A genetically enlarged test rabbit escapes and it is out for blood...
  You just gotta love these good old 70s Sci-Fi with environmental awareness. William F. Claxton directs this fluffy masterpiece that will surely have you changing between laughing madly and feeling thrilled. The sets are groovy and laid-back (desert scenes and ranches), the acting is quite good and the rabbits are malicious! What are you waiting for?
  DeForest Kelly (Star Trek), Rory Calhoun and Stuart Whitman. All hard-case male characters, the good ol' American way. They turn from scientists and college presidents to gunslingers in a second. Female cast boasts hotty pants Janet Leigh (Psycho) in a not so screaming role!
Must watch this : with a plate of slow-cooked rabbit stew (he he he), a pint of dark beer and a big ass cigar. Invite your friends and enjoy!
