    La Femme-objet – Movie Review:

    Wow. This 1981 Alpha France production, directed by Claude Mulot under his Frédéric Lansac alias (his last for the production company), is insane. The film focuses on the exploits of a perpetually horny writer named Nicolas (Richard Allan) who just can’t find a woman with the ability     ...

    Forgotten Gialli Volume One – Movie Review:

    Vinegar Syndrome delivers another trio of ‘forgotten gialli’ in their second boxed set collection.

    French Sex Murders:

    Italian director Ferdinando Merighi isn’t up there with the hallowed likes of Argento, Bava or Fulci but he did have a few notable contributions to Italian genre cinema, having worked on a couple of Spaghetti Westerns and helmed this goofy slice of sleazy Giallo cinema, French Sex Murders.

    The loopy storyline tells the tale of thief named Antoine (Pietro Martellanza a.k.a. Peter Martel, star of Death Walks At Midnight made the very same year) who heads off to a Parisian brothel run by the matronly Madame Collette (Anita Ekberg of The Killer Nun). When the prostitute that Antoine was with gets killed and he flees the scene,     ...

    The Fernando Arrabal Collection Volume 2 – Movie Review:

    A founding member of the panic movement (along with Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor), a chaotic theatre group that performed mainly in Mexico during the 1960s, Fernando Arrabal is not only an accomplished playwright and author, but also a remarkable filmmaker. Cult Epics previously released three of his films and now returns to the Arrabal well a second time with The Fernando Arrabal Collection, Volume Two. The films here aren’t as surreal or as extreme as the earlier pictures but the director’s stamp is still all over them. Here’s what this latest boxed set includes:     ...

    A founding member of the panic movement (along with Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor), a chaotic theatre group that performed mainly in Mexico during the 1960s, Fernando Arrabal is not only an accomplished playright and author, but also a remarkable filmmaker. Cult Epics has just previously released Viva La Muerte! and I Will Walk Like A Crazy Horse and now bundles them up with The Guernica Tree, available on DVD for the first time. Thankfully, they’ve done justice to these overlooked gems of surreal cinema.

    A criminally underrated Fong Sai-yuk film from action director and megalomaniac extraordinaire Ringo Lam (may he rest in peace), 1993’s Burning Paradise had been long overdue for a proper DVD release in North America until the kind folks at Discotek/Eastern Star offered up a respectable presentation of the film in     ...
