But during the attack the virgin bride discovers a dangerous secret about her body - she is cursed with the legendary 'Fire Crotch,' a condition where Satan has laid claim to her vagina. After visiting her fortune teller friend Casparella, a space exorcism is attempted on her meat flaps, but it only ends up unlocking secret hidden powers inside her. Her hatchet wound becomes lethal, her most deadly weapon in her thirst for revenge against The Touchers and her fight against lustful men everywhere!

Morituris: Legions of the Dead (2011)


 (out of 5)



Morituris:  Legions of the Dead (2011)
d:  Raffaelle Picchio
s:  Valentina D'Andrea, Andrea DeBruyn, Desiree Giogetti, Francesco Malcolm, Giuseppe Nitti, Simone Ripanti
format:  NTSC Region 1 - personal collection

     Sometimes you watch a movie just totally in awe.  This was one of those films for me.  Throwback style of the old Italian exploitation films.  Dark and gritty with no obvious cgi, always a plus.  Gory and nasty to the hilt with fx worthy of the name Sergio Stivaletti one of my all time favorite fx artists.  Now this movie has a lot of rape in it.  I described it to a friend as a, "sort of Blind Dead Rape Revenge."  This seems to set people off on misogynist tangents but ultimately the fact is the act is horrific and hence is a part of exploitation and horror films.  This in no way means the filmmaker gets off on portraying rape in his film.  I have seen the original I Spit On Your Grave get called out for this same thing and Meir Zarchi was attacked for it.  However like Meir Zarchi Raffaelle Picchio is not anti-woman, and not pro-rape.  In fact like Meir the events in the film are reflective of the society we live in and showing full scenes of rape pushes the issue right in your face where it should be.  Morituris is about three young men who essentially bring two young women out into the woods to rape and torture them.  This whole set up was taken from the real life Circeo Massacre which happened in 1975 in Rome, Italy.  It was the director's intent to bring attention to such heinous crimes not prophet from them.  A certain "disgusting" horror web site even went as far as to actually say, "fuck off" to the director in his review.  Which to me sums up the ability this reviewer has to educate himself on a movie and the director before making assumptions. 
     Back to the movie itself.  Not a lot of movies hit the old school 70's and 80's cord with me but this was definitely one of them.  The shots were amazingly well done.  Just enough light for the viewer to see what the hell is going on.  Great angles too I really enjoyed the cinematography very much.  The acting was not poor or over the top in any way.  Right on point as far as I'm concerned.  The ladies certainly conveyed the terror and revolt of what they were going through.  So many movies just flub the whole pain and suffering thing.  Not this one. 
     The story goes from the nasty acts of gang rape to a full fledged horror film when the group stumbles into an old graveyard.  The old graveyard is home to legion of undead warriors with various weapons including a war hammer.  These creatures care not for whom they kill and soon both victims and their attackers are lambs for the slaughter.  The script and dialogue were perfect.  At first the girls are expecting a rave in the middle of the woods but soon they discover unfortunately for them, there is no rave.  Then not only are they running from the rapists but also the zombie warriors. 
This whole film was just a giant breath of fresh air.  Highly recommended for anyone in the mood for old style exploitation scares.  I for one will be rewatching around Halloween time.  I should add that this film is in Italian with English subtitles so all the "I can't read subtitles and pay attention to what's going on" people won't enjoy it and will miss yet another great film because of a silly typical American bias.

The Killing Games






THE KILLING GAMES
Writer/Director:Barry J. Gillis
Starring: Yunona Anders, Edwin Autridge, Kelly A.H. Bird, John Scott
Availability: Available on Apple ITunes and Google Play
Rating:
 

    When I was still in the infancy of my cult film love affair, I remember renting a weird little movie called Things.  A movie that had the feel of a shot on shiteo production, it was actually shot on 8mm and 16mm film.  When I first saw it, I hated it.  I thought it was one of the worst movies I had ever seen.  Of course, back then, I was fucking misguided.  In my adolescent years, I turned my back on true backyard films like that.  Once I got a little older, though, I revisited Things, and my attitude towards the film changed.  I absolutely loved it.  It is one of the most certifiably crazy films ever made, and it now stands as one of my favorite movies of all time.  Barry J. Gillis was one of the masterminds behind that film, and has since moved on to much darker pastures.

    Gillis's previous film, Wicked World, was a nasty, nihilistic piece of work that still had a lot of the odd, surrealistic touches Things had.  His newest film, The Killing Games, drops a lot of the weirder elements, and cranks up the nastiness to 11.  I can also say without any hesitation that, while I will always have a soft spot for Things, this is easily the best thing Gillis has been involved in.  The movie starts with the brutal double homicide of a young couple fucking in the park.  The killers are Son of Satan (Edwin Autridge) and Dirty Jesus (John Scott), and they are a couple of the most twisted, depraved, darkly funny psychopaths I've encountered in quite some time.   Two girls witness the brutal slaying, and while one gets away, the other one isn't so lucky.

    Meanwhile, back at home, the father of the girl who got away, a man who goes by Birdman, is starting to worry about what has happened with his daughter, and starts contemplating taking the law into his own hands.  I won't go into much beyond that, but I will say that once the blood starts flying, it doesn't let up.  This is a movie that absolutely wallows in its depravity.  This is a true modern grindhouse movie without all the faux-grindhouse make-up that you usually see in a film like this.  It's a grim, nasty exploitation flick that will make you feel dirty afterwards, and trust me when I say that's a fucking compliment.

    I absolutely loved the colorful characters Gillis crammed this movie with.  The gang of thugs that Birdman seeks to annihilate are all wild, eccentric lunatics with absolutely no regard for human life.  In a lot of ways, the movie feels like there's some real subtext here about the nature of the human condition.  People, by nature, are fucked up, and we are prone to doing incredibly fucked up shit to each other.  It's the nature of the best.  One of the odd parts of the film was Birdman's wife, who is suffering from a life-threatening illness (we're never told what the illness is).  Her presence in the film is almost enigmatic.

    Over the years, Canada has been responsible for some of the most eccentric genre cinema I've ever seen, and this is no exception.  This movie also gained some notoriety when it was banned from his Barry's hometown film festival for being too violent.  It's not an all out bloodbath.  The film is more interested in the eccentric cast of characters, and showing you what vile, morally bankrupt people they are.  When the violence does appear, though, it makes quite an impact.  The movie's conclusion is a potent blend of brutality, catharsis, and in a surreal moment involing Nick Zedd's Police State, almost poetic.

    This is true exploitation cinema at its finest.  The film's not without its flaws, so I was on the fence on what to give this film, but since it achieves everything it set out to do, it's getting a solid 4 out of 5 from me.  Barry J. Gillis is one of the most unique voices in the world of cult cinema, and I can't wait to see what his demented fucking mind gives us next.

    Until next time, my fellow freaks and weirdos...

Megan is Missing (2011)


Megan is Missing (2011)
directed by:  Michael Goi
starring:  Amber Perkins, Rachel Quinn, Dean Waite,
format:  Personal Collection NTSC:  Region 1



(out of 5)


     I friggn' love found footage films!  I try and see everything I can in that department.  The more shakey the camera the better I say ha ha ha.  For me there is no film style out there that puts the viewer inside the movie like pov/sov movies.  I guess the first one I ever saw was Cannibal Holocaust and maybe before that The Legend of Boggy Creek but really that's more of a mockumentary film.  People complain about these types of films to no end and my question every time is, "Why do you watch found footage movies when you know exactly how they are shot?"
 
But I digress.  Megan is Missing is a terrifying look into the lives of teenaged girls today.  Having a teenaged girl in my home only made this movie even more scary for me.  I really dug into this flick and towards the end I was literally locked to the screen.  We follow friends Amy and Megan and their daily lives of high school, boys, parents, and parties.  The screen jumps around from cameras to computer chat screens.  The girls are both very different, Amy is a girl next door type both modest and quiet while Megan is quite the opposite being very out going and popular.  Megan and Amy tell each other everything sex, Megan being raped by her stepfather, school gossip.  Soon it's revealed that Megan has a male online friend named Josh and after a short time they make a date.  Well Megan never comes home from that date and when Amy confronts Josh online about Megan's disappearance he claims the girl never made it to their meeting place.  Days go by and Megan is still missing.  Everyone in the town is searching for her and there is even a cable show about her possible abduction and a video is released of Megan walking through a parking lot and getting picked up by some unknown man whose face is just out of the camera angle.  Amy is a little naïve at first but soon enough figures out that Josh is more than a little suspect.  Amy publicly blames Josh for the disappearance and that's when her own problems start. 
     She begins taking video herself in a park still looking for her best friend when she assumes that everyone else has given up after weeks and weeks of searching.  We see as the viewer in one shot in particular it appears as if some one is watching from the trees.  Amy never notices this.  The video ends with a man's arm reaching for her and goes fuzzy.  Later the camera is found in  a trash can in the park when the police begin searching for now Amy.  Soon after the last 22 minutes of the camera are shown and this is where things get particularly disturbing.  Photos of a tortured girl also show up on a website of a girl bound to a sort of table with holes for a head and two hands.  Amy is shown on the video being forced to eat from a bowl using no hands or utensils.  She is raped on camera and then finally she gets to see Megan.  And that's where my review shall end.  I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys found footage films.   I loved it.  Disturbing but not over the top.  Even the rape scene (for those who can watch people die or be tortured but can't watch a rape) isn't as nasty as it truly could have been the camera never leaves her face. 
     Both actresses in the movie did a superb job I was very impressed.  Even their bitch friends from high school were very natural.  The movie for me just didn't have anything too negative at all and I would have possibly given it a 5 bloody hand print rating if it weren't for the far too long shot of "Josh" digging a hole.  It goes on an on way too long.  But that's it, that's my only complaint.
