Once again, I find myself spiralling out of control down the wormhole of underground film and staring into the blackness of the abyss. This time Nietzsche’s quote rang true. I gazed long enough into the abyss that it gazed into me by delivering Filthina Pig. Suicide of a Pig is a film in a series […]
ICW made their change to Deathmatch wrestling a handful of years ago, using chains instead of ropes for the squared circle, and attracted many up and coming, plus established names, in hardcore grapplin’ and wrestling in general. It’s one of those promotions which mixes the out of shape monsters alongside the trained and agile highflyers, […]
Gudsforladt Review: I’ve been musing over Friendship, Love and War for quite some time. Contemplating what to say and watching/reading what many other reviewers have already stated. Gudsforladt is a hard one to tackle. It’s unique, blistering yet woeful, heartfelt, and relentless in delivery. An unheralded display of both primitive, folklore driven, and medieval passion […]
Horror and metal. It’s been in the making long before anyone realised, I suppose. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown introduced a heavy music with rather disturbing images. As did, of course, Alice Cooper, Coven (see review here), etcetera, whom took the ball and threw it at faces before Black Sabbath raised their doom laden […]
IWA Mid-South are a tough marmite sort of company for even the Death Match wrestling crowd. Back in the day they were raw and brutal, no messing around, no shaved down barbed wire spikes, everything was painfully real compared to the big-league companies putting on Hardcore matches now and then. Same with Combat Zone Wrestling, […]
Never has a film made me feel so uneasy and uncomfortable while watching as Fall did. You can mix all the August Underground series, A Serbian Film, American Guinea Pig series, Lucifer Valentine, Marian Dora, White Gardenia, Tetro Video releases, etcetera, and my anxiety will never act up like it did with Fall. All underground […]
Unearthed Films are on a roll with releasing and preserving such Cat III Asian classics last year as Dr. Lamb (see review here) and The Untold Story. Now 2023, Unearthed brings a new release to their Unearthed Classics line with the forgotten Taiwanese wild one, Calamity of Snakes which is sure to trigger the masses […]
If there’s one thing which can be said for the world of extreme cinema, is that it opened the gates for so much graphic imagination and created stars of all types. Men and women who may have been ignored or dropped to minor blink ‘n’ miss ‘em parts as directors or actors, are suddenly recognised […]
Actor David Hess known for his notorious roles in Last House on the Left, House on the Edge of the Park, and Hitch-Hike takes the reins as director in this 1980 Christmas slasher. Listed as Hess’s only known outing as director he delivers a pretty average, somewhat mediocre film with To All a Goodnight that […]
I’m always down for a good Christmas horror film, especially during the upcoming holidays. Much like partaking in the tradition of folks watching horror films in October during Halloween, I find the Christmas season bringing out my inner dark side to watch Christmas themed horror. I dig Joe Begos Films. V.F.W was killer and Bliss […]
