aka Gaki Damashii
Director: Masayoshi Sukita

Cast: Kazuyo Matsui, Kyozo Nagatsuka, Ichirô Ogura, Yôsuke Saitô
IMDB Page
'The films original title is Gakidama which means Baby Goblin. It starts with two photographers heading out on a camping trip, while fast asleep in a forest one is woken by a strange glowing ball supposedly the spirit of a goblin demon. He ends up being infected by a strange seed it leaves that mutates into a caterpillar type larva bug. Not knowing what has happened he returns home feeling sick from his journey. While back with his wife enjoying a meal we briefly see the larva pop out of his nose. Over the space of the next few days it incubates inside his stomach then in true over the top FX style of John Carpenters 'The Thing' it rips itself out of his mouth. All this is witnessed by his now uncontrollable screaming wife. The nightmare though isn’t over because no sooner is the goblin born and running round the house, a sinister hat wearing man walks from out of the shadows and captures the goblin baby in a little cage. While his wife notices the torn flesh around the man’s mouth, the stranger tells us how he was himself a victim and gave birth to a goblin. Then with the caged goblin he walks outside only the goblin attacks him and manages to bounce its way free. The following day, and oddly the man who’s just given birth has managed to escape face scars, only he’s got a curious urge to find someone else who's impregnated with a goblin. It's at this point the sinister earlier victim returns and tells him he’s become addicted to eating them as it was the tastiest flesh he'd ever ate. After the chat he reveals that he's managed to save some goblin flesh and they both agree to sit down and eat it. This isn’t the end of the tale though as in a 'It's Alive' fashion we get to follow his own slurping noised goblin offspring as it attacks his wife in a nasty bathroom/bedroom moment then we get one final shock ending. It must be said it’s a little messy round the edges plot-wise, but it’s so wonderfully bizarre and OTT. Like only Asian films can be. I could only really imagine Cronenberg attempting anything like this in the west. I'm sure he'd relish a story of man giving birth then getting the urge to eat it. It's only short running in at 55 minutes but there’s plenty to keep your interest the make-up FX are grade-a for its period slightly let down by the creature FX which are of the Ghoulies variety meaning more cute than chilling, but hey I guess even a monster baby is still a baby. Well worth tracking down for gore hounds, Asian horror nuts and fans of bad or odd cinema.'

Sweet Home (1989)

Sweet Home (1989)
orig Sûîto Homu
Director: Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Writer: Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Cast: Juzo Itami, Nobuko Miyamoto, Nokko, Shingo Yamashiro

IMDB Page
'A small spook hunting task force including a TV crew set out to find the secret of Mamiya mansion. It's a strange abandoned house formerly owned by an old eccentric artist. As the film slowly rolls by we learn from cleaned up painted murals about the tale of a young girl dying in a fire, later we find a coffin containing her charred corpse and learn her mothers spirit still haunts the household angered at what happened to her child. Though the plot is clearly influenced by other films most notably Robert Wise's The Haunting and Tobe hooper’s ‘Poltergeist ‘it manages to convey enough of its own identity to remain a treat and rare for an fx film it even manages to include a few poignant moments, largely due to K. Kurosawa’s remarkable blend of pace and sombre atmosphere. Even though it was filmed in the late 90s it looks old and retro feeling like it’s based in the 50s or 60s. The FX work is by none other than make-up legend Dick Smith who's best known for his work on classics like 'Exorcist' and 'Scanners' also of note is the fact it had a simultaneously release alongside its very own NES game making it the first ever survival horror game. I must be honest its very slow at times which means it wouldn’t be suited to everyone, I adored it though and always take something good away from Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s horror output. A real neglected gem.'

Bloody Parot (1981)

Bloody Parot (1981)
aka Xie ying wu
Director: Shan Hua
Writer: Lung Ku, Kuang Ni
Cast: Jason Pai Piao, Tony Liu, Jenny Liang, Kuan-chung Ku
The heroic action of Chang Cheh and Chor Yuen and the graphic horror of Yeung Kuen and Kuei Chih Hung were both pillars of the Shaw Brothers pantheon in the late 1970s and early 80s, spawning many popular cult titles. The 1981 period horror Bloody Parrot brings together these two favourite Shaw Bros. genres for an entertaining fusion of macabre, sorcery, and wuxia. Adapted from a Gu Long novel with a screenplay from Ni Kuang, the film is directed by Hua Shan, known for his Jin Yong retellings Little Dragon Maiden and Tales of a Eunuch and wuxia pieces like Usurpers for Emperor's Power and Soul of the Sword. Martial arts stars Jason Pai Piao (Killer Constable, Shaolin Rescuers) and Anthony Lau Wing (a.k.a. Tony Liu Yung; Spirit of the Sword, Return of the Sentimental Swordsman) lead the cast, along with Jenny Liang from Emmanuelle In Hong Kong. Hell is raised in the martial arts world as forces of good and evil engage in a life-or-death battle for the fabled "bloody parrot". According to legend, this bloody parrot, transformed by dark magic, grants three wishes to anyone who sees it. Like many other people in the martial arts world, swordsman Yeh Ting Feng (Pai Piao) is curious about the truth behind the bloody parrot, and has been investigating its whereabouts. Renowned constable Tieh Han (Tony Liu), meanwhile, is tracing thirteen chests that mysteriously disappeared from the Wang manor. Yeh and Tieh cross paths one night in a cemetery. As the bloody parrot flies overhead, Tieh falls under its curse...

Being hunted by the police, this desperate and psychotic 'trio' fall further and further into darkness... and the creepy Dummy seems to develop a life and mind of his own.
IMDB Page
'Sleazeball puppet gem that delivers more twisted black comedy than it does chills. Plots about a down on her luck ventriloquist who due to spiralling debts takes her own life, leaving her two children Norbert & Angelina all alone other than the doll named Dummy she used in her act. While growing up they're thrown from one bad home to another. They end up at their perverted uncle’s house who abuses them. So with the aid of Dummy they kill him. Cut to present and a period in care the kids are all grown up and set out to fulfil their dying mother’s wish of turning her and Dummies act into a Vegas success. To help fund the trip Angelina does various lap dancer and hooker jobs. She also decides Norbert needs to continue the family blood line so they take a women hostage to father an heir. It's all very sleazy and spirals into an incestuous sister/brother killing spree. Though the plot could have offered more horror I still found it highly entertaining. It was very much like a Full Moon movie if Rob Zombie had been involved.'

IMDB Page
'A failed attempt at creating super soldiers resistant to sars, anthrax & the bacillus plague causes one of the animal test subjects a rat to mutate, it kills most of the researchers which is bad enough but it’s also spreading a unique virus. They lock down the research faculty and call in a crack team of soldiers and scientists to help stop the rat and the plague from spreading. Basically it’s a cheap entry level Sci-Fi creature feature which helps it beat the boredom barrier by dishing up a cheesy monster (a guy in a 6 feet tall rubber rat suit) and not taking itself serious. Its slightly marred by it's slow over talky script but bad b-movie fans should enjoy it. The less die hard fans will be better checking out the recent mutant rat film Mulberry Street which had a much more action packed pace.'

In this remake of the Japanese horror film "Chakushin Ari" (2003), several people start receiving voice-mails from their future selves -- messages which include the date, time, and some of the details of their deaths.
IMDB Page
'Time again folks for another soul destroyingly pointless remake. This time of legendary Japanese director Takeshi Miike's 'Chakushin Ari'. The stories not been altered a great deal we follow a series of sudden deaths. The link is each of the bodies are found eating a hard candy sweet and in possession of mobile phones containing the phone number of at least one of the previous corpses. Turns out there’s a supernatural force killing then using one of the deads phone contacts as its next victim. Nothing is added to this version only as expecting it’s over loaded with cgi fx work leaving the viewer feeling more than a little more removed than they had with the original. I must be honest I wasn't so fond of Miike's due to the silly double bluff ending. With the US version being watered down for a pg13 rating, they somehow manage to make the impact of the first segment of double ending less obvious making it feel less like a dramatic final. Oddly though I enjoyed this ending more than I did in the original, that said only slightly more so unless your bored senseless and have nothing better to do avoid.'

This gets him kicked out of his institution leaving him and a small band of followers to go out and grab people to test on. Very amateurish movie making but commendable I guess for trying to do something other than zombies, vampires or serial killers with its micro budget. If you can make it through the lengthy gaps in the action there’s some prime cheese to be had like the Poe narrating dummy or the head hacking, eye gouging fx work. I thought it was pure shit but my curious nature kept me viewing for it's 90 minute duration.'
