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!
