Deadly Sweet – Movie Review:
Before he became Italian cinema’s ‘master of ass,’ Tinto Brass dabbled in a few different genres. Among others, he made a mediocre spaghetti western titled Yankee in 1966 and a year later, in 1967, he wrote and directed

The Erotic Rites Of Frankenstein – Movie Review:
When this 1972 film from Jess Franco begins, Baron Frankenstein (Dennis Price) gives his monster (Fernando Bilbao underneath a whole lot of silver body paint!) the ability to speak only to immediately learn of the pain that the monster must live with! Shortly after, a brute named Caronte (Luis Barboo) and a flesh eating blind bird woman named Melissa (Anne Libert) raid the lab after which they leave the good doctor’s body dead on the floor and make

Cult 70s Porno Director: Ray Dennis Steckler Volume 2 – Movie Review:
The first volume of Alpha Blue Archives Cult 70s Porno Director: Ray Dennis Steckler paired up some quality roller girl action, feeding that unique fetish that some of us perpetually suffer from. This time around? It's all about evil, baby. Sexy, sexy evil. Sort of. Truth be told, when Steckler is concerned, it's hard to say just what it's really about. Or at least as sexy as Steckler was able to conjure. On with the smut!

Cult 70s Porno Director: Ray Dennis Steckler – Movie Review:
Who knew that roller-skaters got so much poon? Directed under the rather innocuous pseudonym of Cindy Lou Sutters, these three films deliver exactly the kind of erotica you'd expect from the mind of Ray Dennis Steckler - goofy and filled with roller-skating! Well, maybe you wouldn't necessarily expect them to be filled with roller-skating, but they are. How does the erotic cinema of the man who gave us Rat Pfink A Boo Boo and The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies hold up? Well...

Flower And Snake – Movie Review:
Based on Oniroku Dan’s novel of the same name, Masaru Konuma’s 1974 cinematic adaptation of Flower And Snake is quite famously the first of Nikkatsu’s roman porno films that tackle BDSM head on.
The story revolves around a man named Makoto Katagiri (Yasuhiko Ishizu) who shares a home with his mother, Miyo (Hiroko Fuji). Makoto clearly has issues with his own feelings on sex. He’s very clearly repressed and his own mother tells him that he’s impotent

Dahmer – Movie Review:
David Jacobson’s 2002 film Dahmer is an atypical serial killer picture. Part biography, part character study, it’s a genuinely interesting and well-made film that dabbles in equal parts horror and drama. A disclaimer before the film starts notes that the film was inspired by

Daughters Of Darkness – Movie Review:
One of numerous films based on the legend of Countess Bathory (who has also inspired numerous musical tributes – think Venom! - and comic book series as well), Harry Kumel's Daughters Of Darkness (also known as Les Levres Rouge or The Red Lips) is definitely one of the more unique entries. While it plays with a lot of the same themes and ideas as other 'lesbian vampire' films such as those made by Jean Rollin and Jess Franco, Kumel's film distinguishes

The Devil’s Sword – Movie Review:
Few people are as instantly identifiable with Indonesian cult movies as Barry Prima, and few movies are as instantly identifiable as Barry Prima vehicles as The Devil's Sword (except maybe his The Warrior films). An absolutely fantastic blend of sex, violence, crocodile men and laser beams, The Devil's Sword is a tasty cocktail full of trash movie goodness as only the Indonesian's seem to be able to do it. It's not particularly deep, it doesn't always make sense, but it throws in enough high flying adventure and off the wall set pieces

While fleeing from the fuzz, a group of would be diamond heist masters crashes into a creaky old cemetery. When the cops don’t let up and the thieves end up in a wreck, the blood from a wounded arm lands on the ground and causes some severed fingers to reanimate. To make matters worse, lighting hits from out of nowhere and the ground opens up to reveal a skeleton which soon takes on the form of a foxy lady in amongst

Caligula - The Imperial Edition – Movie Review:
Caligula must have sounded like a sure thing. Famed writer and historian Gore Vidal wrote a script detailing the rise and fall of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Caligula (his nickname meaning ‘Little Boots’). Bob Guccione, the founder of Penthouse Magazine helped bankroll the production meaning that there’d be no shortage of cash on hand to realize Vidal’s vision. Italian sexploitation auteur Tinto Brass, fresh off of the extremely successful Salon Kitty , was going to direct while Oscar award winning Danilo Donati was going to handle the set design and art direction. Master composer Bruno Nicolai (credited under the pseudonym of Paul Clemente) would supply an appropriately grandiose score, while in front of the camera the acting duties would be performed by such illustrious thespians as Malcolm McDowell, future Academy Award Winner Helen Mirren, Italian exploitation regular John

Death Wish 3 – Movie Review:
As Michael Winner had directed Charles Bronson in the first two Death Wish films to great success it would go without saying that if Golan Globus, those legendary producers of some of the finest movies of the eighties, could team them up for a third and milk the franchise name for all it was worth they'd make it happen. And so they did just that. Bronson, with his career starting to head downhill at this point, begrudgingly agreed and this would
