    Shogun’s Joy Of Torture – Movie Review:

    One of numerous ‘torture anthology’ films made by the inimitable Teruo Ishii, 1968’s Shogun’s Joy Of Torture presents three separate short stories set in the feudal era, all of which are joined by some obvious thematic elements. On their own, these stories are strong stuff, and when combined, they make for an even grislier viewing experience, albeit a very nicely made one. The production values in the film, like the other ‘torture’ films that Ishii     ...

    August Underground – Movie Review:

    Like a lot of people, I first heard of Fred Vogel, Toetag Pictures, and August Underground through an article in Rue Morgue Magazine. If you're curious, it was the February 2003 issue with House Of 1,000 Corpses on the cover. The article in question, written by Mike Watt, did a damn fine job of ensuring that I really never wanted to see this film. Quite simply, it sounded nasty. Well, a few years have passed     ...

    Bamboo House Of Dolls – Movie Review:

    A Women In Prison film from director Kuei Chih-hung (who also did Killer Snakes), Bamboo House Of Dolls takes its cues from the entries in this sub-genre that came before it but does the 'chicks in chains' thing with a decidedly Hong Kong/Shaw Brothers slant to it.

    Blood Ceremony – Movie Review:

    Directed by Jorge Grau, best known for the excellent Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (one of the finest zombie films to come out of the European horror boom), 1973’s The Legend Of Blood Castle is a pretty solid take on the legend of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a story that’s been milked in horror cinema time and time again (Hammer’s Countess Dracula standing as a good example).

    The film tells the story of a noblewoman named Marquise Erzsebet Bathory (Lucia Bose) who completely by chance winds up getting the blood of one of her super-hot     ...
