Sadomania (1981)






















-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

Two oblivious newlyweds decide to park on the private grounds surrounding a women's prison camp.
Just before the duo are about to consumate their marriage they are apprehended.

The husband is released while his wife, Olga is forced to stay at the camp where she quickly discovers, how her new environment is rampant with corruption. Surprise, surprise!

The head warden, Magda works diligently with a government official who's inability to perform sexually with his wife, entices him to pick from her beavy of beautiful prisoners to participate in his bedroom games. If the women choose to be combative, they are hunted ala "The Most Dangerous Game" (And that's if the crocodiles do not get to them first!)

Fortunately for Olga, her husband is not so willing to let his new beautiful wife languish in the confines of the lust filled prison.

Hot pants abound!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion:

Unfortunately, the sex scenes are a mixed bag. The most explicit scenes involve the transgendered beauty, Ajita Wilson. Who stars as the warden Magda.

There are hints of humor and sadism, and for those of you who like a little kink, there is even a touch of beastiality! The humor is courtesy of Jess Franco, who plays an openly homosexual brothel owner, also provides an amusing visual aid for the term "pillow biter".

Overall, an fairly entertaining watch. Definately not the best WIP film, but far from the worst

The Howl (1969)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

After being released from jail for political protests, Anita forsakes her schedule bound fiance only to embark on an extraordinary adventure with a man she's just met. The comically absurd fellow, whom she later christens "Coso", seems to invite haphazard incidents.

From encounters with a noxious motel employee and his talking rodent companion, who's establishment provides the viewer a glimpse at many sexual exhibitionists at play. To a tree dwelling cannibal family, who's leader has a fondness for 18th century powdered wigs.

And that is just the tip of the iceburg when it comes to describing the many odd characters rampant in this film. The first half is giggle worthy, while the later half of the film takes on a more political tone. Where our duo face a wind-up toy dictator, and lead a sanitarium revolt.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

I enjoy surreal films for the subliminal imagery. And baffling plots riddled with hidden information, just waiting for the the viewer to decipher.

This film is as much of an adventure for the viewer as it is for our eccentric characters.
Highly reccomended!

Private Parts (1972)













-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

After having a falling out with her promiscuous roommate. Cheryl decides to pack up her belongings and reluctantly makes a break for the big city.  But not, before she double crosses her old roomie, and takes all the money that she had stolen from her parents to fund their trip. Leaving her almost penniless.

Cheryl recalls her Aunt Martha owning a modest hotel in the city. So she decides to pay her a visit, unaware that the hotel happens to be inhabited by very peculiar house guests. From a sexually deviant priest with an impressive shrine dedicated to his gay lover, to a mysterious photographer, who's dark room resides in the hotel's basement. (Even Aunt Martha has some of her own unique hobbies.)

Cheryl eventually lets her curiosity for the bizarre hotel get the better of her, and when finally given the opportunity to examine the various rooms unhindered by the presence of her aunt. She snatches the master keys and begins to do a little exploring.

The quirky tenants are nothing compared to the secrets waiting to be unearthed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

The film builds ample tention, and the musical score only suceeds in making the viewers heart race.
This under appreciated film was directed by Paul Bartel of (Eating Raoul and Deathrace 2000 fame) the humor is dark and sleazy and the fetish tinged photographer's apartment are one of the many things worth mentioning about this movie.

It's a personal favorite!

Rubber's Lover (1996)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

A secret organization tests the effects of ether and their newly invented D.D.D device (Digital Direct Drive) on unwilling human participants. A dilemma occurs when the unauthorized testing yeilds little results, and quickly renders any test subject useless, when high doses of ether and torture cause the person to eventually explode.

The human subjects are wraped in plastic, cutting off their ability to take in oxygen, which inturn reduces brain function, allowing for the ideal state for testing the D.D.D device, which is mounted on the subject's head.

Shimika one of the main researchers for D.D.D is being secretly injected with a sedative to increase his body's tolernace for ether, which his corrupt business partner Motomiya injects into his colleage in vast amounts.

The corporation responsible for funding the scientists research, sends an employee (the newly engaged Kiko) to collect final data from Shimika before informing the men that their funding is being terminated, and they are also being evicted from their testing facility.

With little time left for research, Motomiya decides to kick things into high gear.

Now Shimika is about to find out first hand, the painful side effects of his experiments.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

There is a lot of visual interest; Hypnotic imagery, cold robotic perversions, black blood and elaborate mechanical torture devices.
All this unfolds with a droney, haze of industrial music playing in the backround.

Talk about "Mind-blowing" entertainment!

Bare Behind Bars (1980)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

This female dominated establishment, harbors lustful inmates and personnel. A select few are inducted into the sex trade, where they can leave the confines of their prison cells. While others are left to endure intensive cavity searches and molestation from the sex starved staff. The girl's are also taught to renounce their given names, instead they can only answer to their uniform number. (Speaking, of uniforms, or lack thereof, the girl's are pantyless, clad only in a buttoned up dress shirts, with their numbers emblazoned on the back.)

Upon incarceration, each girl is put through intrusive cavity searches, by the untrained, yet well intentioned Nurse Barbara. (who's cravings for ether, make her a little bit kooky.) During her free time, Barbara likes to pleasure certain inmates with her plethora of toys.

Many have attempted to escape, the girl's efforts usually end in death and their battered bodies are disposed of in the overcrowded prison cemetery. Although things begin to change when inmate # 578 arrives. #578 and her fellow cell mates begin to strategically target certain staff members. While one girl conspires with Nurse Barbara, #578 distracts the warden with exhaustive, sexual aerobics.

Sylvia the Warden becomes quite enamored with her insatiable partner, and promises to give the girl anything she desires. #578 decides to request a holiday mass, allowing the girls the perfect opportunity to escape.

Prepare yourselves for girl fights, ruler lashings and lesbian trysts in varying degrees of explicitness!

Fun.Fun.Fun

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

This memorable trash venture, has everything a fan of Women In Prison films could ever want.

There are both straight and lesbian hardcore sex scenes for the viewer to enjoy. (Even though some of the male participants are less then visually pleasing.) And comedic relief compliments of the wacked out Nurse Barbara (a prolific beauty queen in the 60s, with a slight resemblance to Marilyn Monroe) and if you wait long enough, you will be rewarded with some pretty impressive gore.

High reccomended

(also note: This Blue Underground title is now Out Of Print, so if you see it for a good price, do not hesitate to snatch it up!)

Orozco The Embalmer (2001)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

Nameless, disfigured bodies, hollow faces, glistening entrails. Streets ravaged by violence, and innocent residents that are subjected to the daily horrors.

One's natural reaction would be to dissassociate themselves from the fact that these cadavers are very real, not some monstrosity conjured up in a special effects workshop. Most people do not want to consider the finality of death, and the reality that our bodies can be so easily battered and destroyed.

Orozco works in the most dangerous part of Columbia (El Cartucho), the film is a document to his everyday routine. Some of the corpses Orozco embalms for a mere 50 USD.

Prepare yourselves for quivering offal, soupy caverns of water logged organs, and limbs stiffened by rigor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

Although the subject matter is quite gruesome, the way that the documentary was filmed still pays respect to the dead. Another impactful aspect of the documentary is the extreme culture shock, seeing the differences between cultures.

Hispanics are so comfortable with the dead, and still see their loved ones passing as a time for celebration. Which is something that I find quite admirable.
In the States we find ourselves so bereaved with grief, and most are still unable to detach themselves from the deceased's earthly shell. Not to say that one way to grieve is better then the other. It's just a fascinating thing to see how different cultures honor their dead.

The German pressing of the film (is limited to 1000 copies), I suggest seeking this bad boy out.
You won't be disapointed!

Sexy Battle Girls (1986)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

Mirai has been training for revenge since her mother ran off with the principal of an all girls private school. With her scorned father hell bent on honing the young girl's secret, special ability, know as "Venus Crush", he also requires his daughter to wear a chastity belt, because any vaginal penetration from a regular man would result in impotence. So training via crushing various produce is encouraged.

After a sexual mishap at Mirai's previous co-ed school, she is sent to the very same private school, housing the lecherous headmaster, Bush. The man responsible for breaking up her family.

Not only is the school overrun by a corrupt staff (using the school to run a secret prostition ring for politicians), Mirai also quickly attracts attention from fellow class mate and delinquent, Susan (who much like Mirai, has her own special ability, know as "Ninja Pen". Giving her the ability to throw mechanical pencils.)

Susan happens to encounter one of the shadey characters lurking around the school. A repugnant, truancy officer with a fixation for vaginal secretions, finds Susan stealing pencils and black mails her into sleeping with him. And lets say the gooey encounter ends with Susan besting the officer by running off with his cash.

Susan's personal triumph, however, is short lived, when she finds out first hand how they break in girls for their secret sex ring.

Now it's upto Mirai to dole out some necessary justice!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

This deranged sex farce, is definately in a league of it's own.

Only the Japanese could think of something this weird :-P

S&M Hunter (1986)
















-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

When the services of illustrious rope master, S&M Hunter are requested by a bereft man (Joe), seeking the whereabouts of his abducted lover. Joe can only conclude that the female gang, "The Bombers" are somehow responsible for his partners disappearance.

Joe unknowingly joins forces with the rather odd trio. S&M Hunter, his Dungeon Master and their helpful assistant, Maria as they infiltrate the voracious gang's hideout.

S&M Hunter assures Joe of Jack's liberation from the gang's clutches, but only before he takes his time to show the girls "the ropes."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

It was refreshing to see how the gender roles have reversed slightly in this film. Rather then the usual helpless female being subjected to various sexual exploits. We instead have a rather attractive man, being forced to perform for his insistent captors, who are ready to mount him at any moment.

The scenes of Kinbaku are amazing. I throughly enjoyed seeing the various female gang members, being tied up in various configurations, where they are brought to the peak of pleasure by S&M Hunter.

From intricate webs of rope, cutting into soft flesh. Vengeful, chain weilding foes in nazi garb. And heaps of hilariously offensive jokes.

S&M Hunter is a glorious viewing experience!
Highly recommended!

Entrails Of A Beautiful Woman (1986)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

When a delirious, half nude girl stumbles into Yoshimi's aquarium clinic, the nurse discovers through the process of hypnosis that the girl was drugged and repeatedly raped by the Ichiyama Clan.

While searching for her sister( who was conned into a money laundering scheme by her lover Higashi, then later sold into the slave trade in Manilla) The girl is lured to a secluded warehouse, with Higashi's promise of revealing her sister's whereabouts. Expectedly, rather then inform the girl, he has her injected with the potent aphrodisiac "Angel Rain" before she is repeatedly raped by the Clan.

The nameless girl barely escapes with her life, and arrives at the Clinic still under the influence of the drug, which later is the cause of her suicide.

Guilt ridden by the turn of events, Yoshimi uses the deceased girl's name and targets the Ichiyama Clan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

I personally found this movie to be far more entertaining then the first Entrails entry.
We have mutant nurses with demonic phalluses, perverse sex and plenty of grue for your enjoyment.

Highly recommended!

Entrails Of A Virgin (1986)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

When a steamy photo shoot in the mountains ends with a dense, ominous fog too thick to drive through, the photographer and his entourage are forced to seek shelter in an seemingly abandoned warehouse.

The photographer has a preoccupation with bedding every female model present on his shoots. And his recently scorned helper, is later reduced to a sexual frenzy, where she attempts to copulate with corpses, severed limbs, and even attempts to fellate an tree. (Oh, the desperation!)

As the crew attempt to get their sexual kicks they are unaware that an inhuman monster, with a large rubber phallus, lurks in the woods waiting for an opportunity to claim his next victim.

Prepare yourself for panty sniffing, excreting body fluids and all the softcore sex one could ask for!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

This is definitely a party flick, where the viewer can successfully keep their hands placed on their nether regions while the brainless fun unfolds before their eyes. The movie also has a rather quick pace, and is littered with sex scenes throughout, so my fellow pervs will not have to wait long for the appearance of skin.

Although, it is known that both Entrails films have optical fogging, due to Japanese hygiene laws regarding the appearance of pubic hair. Regardless, there are many scenes that retain their amorous glory.

I recommend this exercise in bad taste to all who enjoy the perverse and absurd.

The Cremator (1968)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

Karl Kopfrkingl is a seemingly well intentioned family man, who works in a sluggish Crematorium. In an attempt to increase his business, Karl hires a misfortunate Jewish confectioner, Mr. Strauss to pass out advertisements for his services. An arrangement that is finalized at a party Karl has thrown for all who wish to attend.

Varieties of guests arrive, including a former war comrade, Walter Reinke who's love of the Reich, and his German heritage encourages a newfound fixation for Karl. Who is now tempted to enlist the aid of Dr. Bettleheim, another openly Jewish man, when he wishes to find out the purity of his blood.

Kopfrkingl's actions are merely a prelude for what's to come. As he begins to justify his desires to destroy those closest to him, from his Jewish wife Lakme, to his very effeminate son, Mili. Karl's decline is evident, when he identifies with the beliefs of the Nazi Party.

Merely another excuse for him to fulfill his desires to incinerate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion :

A fascinating look at a man's slow descent into madness. With a sense of dread that lingers throughout till the film's conclusion.

The Cinematography is gorgeous, each image resembling some lost fragment in time. The opening credits are also amazing, as photographs of disembodied limbs litter the screen with decaying beauty.
Perhaps, I am only hardened by the myriad celluloid atrocities I have witnessed. I feel that the impact of the film was lost to me, as I fixated more on the tediousness, and the slow pace rather the the subtlety. I know not all viewers need to be hit over the head with obvious terror, and for those viewers this film would be a very rewarding experience.

Gestapo's Last Orgy (1977)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

Two unlikely lovers, prison camp survivor Lise and the sadistic Commendant Starker, return to the graffiti covered remains of a prison camp compound. Lise relives the events that happened on her arrival to the camp.

Consumed by grief, Lise believes that she is the reason her family was killed in the gas chambers. Her desires for a peaceful life in Switzerland, lead her to disclose information about her family to the Gestapo.

With no family to rely on, Lise is intent on feeling the icy grip of death, a fate that she feels she deserves. Commandant Starker, unfortunately has other plans for her. He subjects her body to unspeakable tortures and humiliation, expecting her screams for mercy, all the Commandant receives is silence. After having his fill with the seemingly unbreakable prisoner, the two begin to establish a rather peculiar relationship when Lise's passion for life is rekindled by the prison camp doctor. She denounces everything important to her, to show her loyalty to Starker. Whom she secretly plots revenge against.

The compound itself is a haven for war ravaged soldiers, who are assigned to stay at the camp on special leave, so that their bodies can be revitalized by illicit pleasures. The men line up, with their genitals dangling free between their legs, as they are shown a delightfully perverse slide show showcasing the various prisoners partaking in sexual acts. From a camp vixen who loves the sight, and smell of fecal matter. To a poor mother and daughter pair who are tied together in opposite positions so their faces are directly above each other's pelvic regions. The photographic evidence is enough to entice the men.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion:

Despite the distasteful subject matter, the film is very well made and the plot very involving.

To me the characters are what make this film. My favorite being the female officer who loves to feed menstruating females to her ravenously hungry dobermans.

Those who are easily offended should view with caution, for they will be subjected to Nazi feasts, with charred Jewish flesh as the main course, torture, and various clothing oddities like panties made from the hair of Jewish girls, to gloves made from the skin of unborn babies.

The Notorious Concubines (1969)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

We are first introduced to a weary traveler, approaching a decomposing arm extending high from a burial site. This man also has the misfortune of stumbling upon a bandit being tortured by a gaggle of warriors. After being left with just the boy's bloodied corpse, he takes the man in his arms and begins to reminisce about the events that led to a man's downfall.

We learn of the temptress Chien-Lan, who's unrequited love for her husband's brother, leads to a series of deceptive acts and murder. Even though her modest husband caters to her every whim, she still finds satisfaction in the arms of a more affluent suitor, Mien-Shing, who's taste for violence and sex may very well be her downfall.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion:

Although the film is hindered with akwardly filmed battles, and the occasional scene where a girl's pubic region is obscured by optical fogging. The movie does have something to offer.

My favorite being, Chien-Lan, who seems to be a rather plain woman at first glance, yet transforms while in the embrace of passion, providing many erotic moments that only include her glowing face, contorted with pleasure.

I wanted to see this film mainly because I wanted to see one of Koji Wakamatsu's earlier films. Although the film is nothing special, the dvd includes tons of extras, such as another film "Violated Paradise", and vintage Japanese strip reels that are more then worth the purchase of the DVD.

The Bedroom (1992)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

Imagine a twin bed, adorned in black. The visage of television static super imposed on the wall directly behind it. It is here where women have the chance to leave their bodies, while nameless men subject them to various delights.

Whether it is the sight of oiled flesh, glistening under reddish hues, or bizarre men dressed in rubber who conceal their faces with gas masks. Or perhaps finally, the rental husband who hungrily sucks on his partner's toes all in front of the camera's gaze.

It is this club, called "The sleeping room", where Kyoko's curiosity gets the best of her.

Kyoko is a young wife, who participates in a daily video diary as preparation for her planned documentary on the sleeping pills, named Halcion. Which she believes are solely responsible for her younger sister's demise.

She becomes a member of the secret club, hoping to discover first hand what experiences her sister encountered while she was a member. The rules of the club are as follows, the women may never know the identities of their partners, and they can never partake of any scenario unless they are under the influence of halcion.

Kyoko abides by these rules at first, but then she promptly stops taking the halcion, and pretends to be in a deep sleep during her encounters. That is until female members of the club are found killed in the sleeping room.

Among the tumultuous relationships to unfold, whether it's Kyoko and her sister's ex-lover, or Kyoko and her husband, there is a lot more secrets that await you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion:

The film is very erotic. An array of fetish oddities are on display for your viewing pleasure.

The ending of the film is very haunting, despite the film itself being a little confusing.

My only complaints about the film, are that the subtitiles are hard to read at certain points of the movie, so I had to pause the dvd numerous times just so I could try to make out what is being said.

Regardless, this film is definately worth checking out.

Assault! Jack The Ripper (1976)













-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

When the unlikely duo of a temperamental coffee shop waitress and her cohort a meek pastry chef. Accidentally kill a deranged hitchhiker with their car. The pair is left with no option, but to conceal the body. Equally traumatized and titilated by their acts, the two return to the girl's apartment where they partake in passionate carnal lust. Each take turns reliving the events that transpired.

Now smitten with the pastry chef, the girl attempts to have sex with her partner in crime once more, only to find that without the act of murder on their minds they cannot relive the spark of passion. Which fuels their perverse sexual games, as she begins to encourage her lover to partake in the more unsavory enterprise of butchery as a new kind of aphrodisiac.

What she eventually discovers is that the act of killing becomes more of a compulsion to her accomplice, who slowly begins to lose control of his murderous impulses.

Make way for numerous crotch stabbings!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion:

The film is a trashy good time, with an over abundance of softcore and nudity. The violence although not as explicit is still very mean spirited and makes one clutch their nether regions, after seeing ample scenes of forced knife penetrations.

And for some reason, after viewing this film..I wanted a slice of cake after watching the opening credits as the pastry chef decorates a tasty look wedding cake.

Yum.

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970)
















-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review:

When a treasured pair of earrings, received from her deceased mother lead to the sexual awakening of 13 year old Valerie. She discovers a magical world, filled with secrets and new experiences that she could never have imagined in her wildest dreams.

Valerie lives with her pious granny, who has more then her share of undisclosed secrets and desires, as she lusts for a fellow priest, who spurns her advances sending the woman into fits of sadomasochistic flagellation.
She can only conceal her sins, and encouraged Valerie to follow the same virtuous path her mother followed by becoming a nun.

One day while sleeping, a man, known only as "Eagle" takes Valerie's beloved earrings at the request of his ghoulish father, the Constable. The corrupt officer is now on the prowl for the treasures after finding that they possess magical powers that he could use to his benefit.

The Constable grows rather irate after finding that Eagle returns the earrings, as a ploy for Valerie's devotion. Leaving him with no choice but to subject his offspring to various tortures.

After receiving a note from Eagle, Valerie goes in search of the mysterious man, finding him chained up to a water fountain in the middle of town square. Unaware that the Constable is watching their every move.

He has plans to enlist the aid of Valerie's grandmother, who's veiled yearnings for youth and beauty entice her to give her home and Valerie to the Constable.
Once granting her wish, she and the ghastly lover begin to share a mutual thirst for blood and perversion.

This is where a child's fairy tale fantasy starts to go terribly wrong.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Conclusion:

There is so many things to love about this film. The beautiful visuals, ornate with color and architecture. The waves of allure matched only by the eerie flashes of the grotesque.

I love, love, LOVE..this movie.
I hope that other Czech films will make their way to region 1 dvd!
Highly recommended!
