Little Deaths (2011)

Little Deaths (2011)
Directors: Sean Hogan, Andrew Parkinson, Simon Rumley
Cast: Scott Ainslie, Mike Anfield, James Anniballi, Kate Braithwaite
Death and sex intertwine in these three horror tales: one about a couple that lures homeless girls into their abode for sex; one that involves the black market trade for mutated semen; and one that describes a sadomasochistic relationship gone bad. House and Home: A couple pose as religious do-gooders in order to lure homeless girls into perverted sex games. But after ensnaring their latest victim, the pair find the rules of the game have changed. Mutant Tool: A recovering drug addict unwittingly stumbles upon a bizarre black market narcotics trade, in which mutated human semen is harvested for its powerful psychic effects. But supplies are running low…Bitch: Claire and Pete are locked together in a destructively sadomasochistic relationship. But when Claire finally goes too far, her hitherto submissive partner decides to bring the bitch to heel for good.

Three seperate tales without an interlocking story makes this feel more like a compilation of shorts than a true anthology. The first tale 'House and Home' is about a couple who lure homeless girls to their house for their own sexual gratifacation, only their newest find has more bite than their usual victims. The second 'Mutant Tool' follows Jen an hooker, drug dealer and addict who while trying to kick her habit stumbles onto an underground trade in mutant human sperm, which is in high demand as a mind altering drug. The third and final story 'Bitch' centers on a young couple Claire and Pete who are in an abusive kinky sex fueled relationship. Claire starts to take Pete for granted, finally push him overboard by sleeping with his best mate. Leaving it up to him to stand up and take control.

Interesting trilogy of British shorts this, the first segments pretty predictable but done well enough. The other two are pretty warped and unique and I couldn't tell where they was going. The style reminded me a lot like the short lived UK Television series The Hunger, basicly sex themed stories surounding subjects from the darker side of human nature. The final segment Simon Rumley's Bitch was my personal favorite, Rumley was the man behind 'The Living and the Dead (2006)' and 'Red White and Blue (2010)' hes fast become a really interesting talent, it follows a pair of sadomasochists struggling to come out on top. I wouldn't call Little Death's essential viewing, but if you stumble over it and have some free time, its more than worth the watch.

Breaking Point (1975)

Breaking Point (1975)
Director: Bo Arne Vibenius
Writer: Bo Arne Vibenius
Cast: Andreas Bellis, Irena Billing, Barbara Scott
Exploitation thriller.

Wild wacked out pornographic thriller centring on an accountant who rapes and sometimes kills during his work breaks. This is basically a set of sexual vignettes that supposedly follow the crazed office man's day dreams. They range from pretty standard sex scenes which are usually rapes (the tv and his car stereo tell him its what females want) to dumb moments he uses nuclear bullets, there's even an odd scene he abducts a young girl from a swing that thankfully he doesn't do anything with other than eat candy.

Breaking Point was director Bo Arne Vibenius follow-up to his more infamous grindhouse gem Thriller A Cruel Picture Well worth tracking down for fans of strange exploitation movies.

Nightdreams (1981)

Nightdreams (1981)
Director: Francis Delia
Writer: Jerry Stahl, Stephen Sayadian
Cast: Dorothy LeMay, Loni Sanders, Jennifer West
In an experiment, a pair of scientists use electric jolts to induce a sleeping woman to have erotic dreams.

Twisted surreal fantasy porno from an age when they tried to do more than just a bit of the old in out. Two scientists are testing a woman who claims she never reaches orgasm, they give her electronic stimuli to induce erotic dreams. She then begins to have various wet dreams/nightmares that are played out in truly bizarre ways. Her first dream revolves around having sex with a nightmarish jack in a box clown. Next she has lesbian sex with two cowgirls around a campfire, to the sounds of the wildest Johnny Cash Ring Of Fire cover you are ever likely to hear. Various other dreams include an odd male birthing a fetus, a peeping tom wearing a V for Vendetta styled masked has sex in bath room, there's a comic sex romp with a box of baking mix and then finally making out with a devil in hell itself.

Nightdreams is a really enjoyable porn film for a change with solid direction and a crazy sound track. It was written by Stephen Sayadian and Jerry Stahl who not surprisingly went on to do other strange things together like Café Flesh and Dr. Caligari, Jerry Stahl even wrote an episode of Twin Peaks and acted in David Lynches Inland Empire. The films ending is left somewhat open ended no doubt to make a quick cash in if it became popular. But from what I've read even though Stephen Sayadian was involved in writing/directing, both Nightdreams II & Nightdreams III (which didn't come for almost a decade later) are meant to be pretty poor, (that said I'd still give them a try if I stumbled over them). To sum it up even though Nightdreams is somewhat obscure its well worth hunting down for both the porn connoisseur or just your average weird movie fan in general.

As Taras de Um Minivampiro (1987)

As Taras de Um Minivampiro (1987)
aka: Little Vampire Taints
Director: José Adalto Cardoso
Cast: Renalto Alves, Bim Bim, Chumbinho
A midget vampire terrorizes a small town, attacking dating couples in their randy moments. The news soon spread and a professional vampire hunter is called upon to settle the case, but he finds the little bloodsucker hurt and unable to attack. The greedy mayor sees the opportunity to take advantage of the situation when a film crew comes to town to make an experimental film about the famous monster.

As Taras do Mini-Vampiro (aka Little Vampire Taints) is a nice horror comedy (decidedly very light on anything resembling horror but featuring a midget vampire which is always a bit creepy). This one stars Chumbinho (aka Fuk Fuk the Brazilian Midget). I love this guy. He causes a guy to be orally dis-membered by a woman giving him a blowjob and sticks strawas in people to drink their blood. He just looks funny really, and is a treat to see act like an ass. There´s also a lovingly raunchy scene of a fat bearded guy masturbating to pictures of horses at horse shows! Hahaha! Gold I tell you! This mini-vampire is a bit odd. He walks around during the day with sunglasses and sleeps hanging upside down in public during the daytime. He spies on people having sex and manages to dine at the Y. There´s plenty of straight sex, girls giving blowjobs, etc. This is a good porn film for a Saturday afternoon when you have the pad to yourself and you don´t feel like watching Kung Fu Theater for want of something spank worthy AND cheezily entertaining.

Driller (1984)

Driller (1984)
Director: Joyce James
Writer: Joyce James, Timothy Green Beckley
Cast: Angelique, Carson Dy, Esmeralda
Adult spoof of Michael Jackson's Thriller musical containing a fan of the super pop star known as Mr J and her fantasies that come to life in an unbridled display of cinematic imagination in her sexual misadventures. Leading lady gets it from a well-endowed werewolf (the transormed Mr. J) is abducted to a strange castle and finally escapes to a graveyard where she joins in an unbelievable orgy of zombies and ghouls and the like. Of course, her kinky explorations are fraught with hot music, dazzling dance routines and spectacular special effects.

Substandard adult attempt to blend elements of Michael Jackson's Thriller with Rocky Horror Picture Show, the guy playing Jackson is pretty good but he's barely on-screen, and the Driller song itself is an hoot but other than being a curiosity piece its pretty much worthless.

Hypertrophy Genitals Girl (2009)

Hypertrophy Genitals Girl (2009)
Director: Noboru Iguchi
Writer: Noboru Iguchi
Cast: Tsubomi
Turns out director Noboru Iguchi (The Machine Girl, Sukeban Boy) fills his time between bizarre theatrical projects with even more bizarre AV projects. Here's a pretty good example 'Hypertrophy Genitals Girl' (Hidai Kasei Utsuwa Shojo) stars 21-year-old adult video actress Tsubomi as a young girl who suddenly starts growing a giant dong. Shamed by gawkers and insults, the two girls become prisoners of their newly-swollen private parts.When genitals are enlarged, the pleasure doubles!

Before I start I'll give you the age old warning, when it comes to truly bizarre things like Noboru Iguchi's 'Hypertrophy Genitals Girl' that is "Something's you see you cannot unsee, no matter what you do", this statement fits with this oddity from Japan. It's a full hardcore porn (all be it with pixilated censorship! do the Japanese need to censor fake penis's as well? ) so don't go expecting a full story or character development, but here goes. A silver penis headed alien lands in Japan and converts two girls genitals (one girl grows a massive penis the other grows a massive vagina). They get indecently assaulted in a garden area by a gang of thugs, then insulted in their local town. So they retire to their own home and seclusion and end up making love together, ending in a bloody climax.

One of the oddest porn titles I've seen and one that's surely going to gain some cult status over the years to come. The director Noboru Iguchi is better known as the director of such gory action romps as The Machine Girl and RoboGeisha. I'm going to give this a pretty good rating not out of fact it turned me on (you really should expect to be aroused from a porn feature), but because I've never seen anything like it before and for what it is (a budget Jap AV) it's been made extremely well.

Hallucinations Sadiques (1969)

Hallucinations Sadiques (1969)
aka: Sadistic Hallucinations
Director: Jean-Pierre Bastid
Writer: Michel Martens
Cast: Daniel Gélin, Anouk Ferjac, Michel Subor
Hunting, for humans and animals, the tone is perched prescariously between neoclassical horror film and avant-garde freak-out complete with a the high factor of sexploitation.

Sadly the only version I could lay my hands on was in French only without any subtitles so I will have missed a great deal of what was actually going on. From what I could make out its not a true flowing story, its done more in the fashion of little montages. We get whole scenes of our lead just sat cleaning his gun or wandering around a chateau looking for sex (which is accompanied with funky Jazz playing), other scenes we go on hunting parties where they hunt a women.

A Hole in My Heart (2004)

A Hole in My Heart (2004)
Director: Lukas Moodysson
Writer: Lukas Moodysson
Cast: Thorsten Flinck, Björn Almroth, Sanna Bråding
In a decript apartment, a young man watches as his father and a friend shoot an amateur porn film. Issues of morality, reality TV and friendship are explored.

Basically plotless film centring on an homemade porn production, we follow the director his handicapped son, the porn actress and a friend of the director who's doing the male sex scenes.

This film is sickening depraved boring and headache inducing at times, this isn't mainstream and you certainly arn't in Kansas any more. Even after all my revulsion and wanting to turn it off, there's something about Lukas Moodysson forth feature A Hole in My Heart I liked. Take for instance I loved the ending, when the porn actress is playing at being the lost mother of the son she says close your eyes, if you do like she says (as I did) and open them... you end up with the credits rolling in silence, Moodysson here proves himself very very clever. Like I said A Hole in My Heart is no easy journey, but there's more to this film than you will at first notice, you'll first see the sex & filth but deep down there's so much honesty within the film. From the characters talking about times they're lonely to losing loved ones, to the sons outburst that his dad was raped as a child by his grandfather. So many viewers won't appreciate the style and it takes cast iron determination to reach its end. But when those credits do roll, something inside will make you feel like you've been with them in that trashy flat while they've shot a porno and bared their souls, and from a movie what more can you ask.

Diversions (1976)

Diversions (1976)
aka: Sex Express
Director: Derek Ford
Writer: Derek Ford
Cast: Heather Deeley, Derek Martin and Jacqui Rigby
Whilst on a train journey a beautiful woman (Heather Deeley) fantasises about a series of bizarre sexual encounters.

Truly amazing British adult exploitationer, that's every bit a match for any of the classic 70's USA grindhouse roughies that have since gained infamous status. Diversions story follows a female criminal boarding a train while handcuffed to a female police officer. While on the train journey we follow Imogene (Heather Deeley) through various perverse day dreams, highlights of these include a sex scene between a lesbian SS officer and her prisoner, a brutal rape revenge drama that involves a penis castration culminating with a vampire. Diversions as a few filler feeling dream sequences then ends with a weird yet funny Victorian camera sex scene involving a photographer his model and a maid. Everything is helped by the fantastic lead performance of Heather Deeley who proves she can act as well look great during her sex scenes. Recommended to fans of adult cinema, without a question of a doubt one of the best to come out of British isles.

Wet Wilderness (1976)
aka: The Flesh Rippers
Director: Lee Cooper
Writer: Lee Cooper
Cast: Daymon Gerard, Alice Hammer, Raymond North
A machete killer attacks a picnic party but can the mother stop his rampage ?

Adult movie masquerading as an horror, with a wooly masked killer wandering local woods for people to rape and then slaughter. 70's seemed to be the period anyone could be in a prono and some of the chicks in this stinker are no exception, sporting huge asses, stretch marks and the ubiquitous hairy bush. I didn't get much out of viewing it but the disc also contained heaps of clips from other films a British one named Diversions really stood out and been put in my most wanted list.

A Serbian Film (2010)

A Serbian Film (2010)
aka Srpski Film
Director: Srdjan Spasojevic
Writers: Aleksandar Radivojevic, Srdjan Spasojevic
Cast: Srdjan Todorovic, Sergej Trifunovic, Jelena Gavrilovic
An aging porn star agrees to participate in an "art film" in order to make a clean break from the business, only to discover that he has been drafted into making a pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film.

For the first time in cultdb's/my own film viewing history I am going to put out a kind of disclaimer to people, to quote the film 8mm "There are some things that you see, and you can't unsee"

!!! PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS
BEFORE VIEWING THIS FILM !!!

[Right so I had heard the online hype surrounding this film for a while. I've even had it here gathering dust for a few months not feeling in the mood for a dark movie to spoil my summer. So time come to watch it, So I can handle this right ? .... errr well I did but it was an extremely painful hollow viewing experience. Over the years I've seen pretty much everything and anything I could lay my hands on. I think during your teens you watch gore/extreme horror films to test yourself (kinda rites of passage to see if you are man enough)... So I've seen all the UK banned video nasties including the mondo docu's the cannibal films & nazisploitation ones. Since then I've seen Pasolini's Salo, absolute bucket loads of Asian sex/gore movies by the likes of Hisayasu Sato & Daisuke Yamanouchi, heaps of newer American sexualized gore films like the August Underground series and more recent hard edged European fodder by the likes of Agusti Villaronga, Gaspar Noe, Philippe Grandrieux, Catherine Breillat & Pascal Laugier.]

All of which only part way prepared me for A Serbian Film. The plot follows a semi retired pornstar Milos who via a fellow porn actress gets introduced to Vukmir. He offerers Milos the opportunity to earn big money for doing one more secretive movie performance that would see him, wife and son financially secure for the rest of their lives. Things start to spiral out of control for the actor when the director starts introducing torture into the sex and insists on having a teenage girl watch. Milos refuses to continue working with the twisted Vukmir who clearly as lost all faith in humanity, the director tries to convince Milos by giving him a private screening of what must be the most taboo breaking clip I or I would imagine anyone viewing has ever seen (at this point I was going to switch the film off like I'd suspect most viewers would, I'm sure loads walked out of screenings after or during it). Milos is like mindedly sickened and walks away, only Vukmir needs to finish his film so with the aid of an attrctive doctor drugs poor Milos into doing ever more sickening and degrading things ultimately leading back to the now unhinged hallucinating porn actors family.

The soundtrack was droney and worked well also the cast and crew did a good job as did the cinematographer. Some viewers have stated it's got a political subtext, I am not so sure I suspect it was made to sicken and horrify. And dare I say cash in a little on the recent torture/horror market with films like Martyrs & Grotesque earning good money. I'm not going to say its good or bad, for me it fell somewhere between. Sure you can call that a cop out but it's so hard to judge the merits of a film that makes you feel so empty and touches the pit of your stomach, and in no way rewards you.

A brutally sadistic rape leads to a series of bizarre gory murders during a midnight disco bowl-a-rama at a popular bowling alley. One by one, players of two teams meet blood-drenched gruesome deaths at the hand of a black bowling-gloved masked killer. This alley runs red with blood by sunrise.
[Synopsis by Ryan Nicholson @ IMDB]

(4 out of 10)

'Low grade horror/slasher romp that owes as much too direct to video porn as it does to the horror genre. A vicious gang rape ending with a bowling pin being inserted into the victim leads to a night of revenge. Two groups set up a match only a secret third party named BBK joins in. Only instead of racking up points for scores the sinister bowling ball bag headed BBK racks up skulls for kills. The film tries hard to capture that halcyon slasher film period of the 80’, only it’s far to crude to work. It does have enough blood'n'guts to keep the gore hounds happy but any viewer expecting a well done plot or even a fun to watch trash-fest will be sorely let down as it offers so little. Highlights include a graphic penis slicing attack on a transsexual and a bowling ball polishing machine going wild on a guys head '

Attack of the Cockfaced Killer (2002)

Attack of the Cockfaced Killer (2002)
Director: Jason Matherne
Writer: Jared Scallions
Cast: Mike Ball, Dana Kieferle, Billy Heintz
The heart warming saga of a young retard and his sexual frustration...In the deep south of Louisiana, there exists a world of never-ending sex, drugs, and violence. Where the darkness of the swamps is only equaled by the darkness of a killer's mind. But this world of perpetual intoxication and frequent flatulence comes to a gut-knotting climax when the Cockface Killer surfaces from his slumber of mild-mannered sex-toy play.
'Low grader which you can forgive its flaws as it’s clearly made by fans for fans of cheap horror & porn. It kicks off with a brother sister barnyard sex scene, only they get interrupted by a retarded goon wearing a dildo mask. Breaks out into a Benny Hill style speeded up chase for the guy to be caught by the Cockface killer and gutted. Cast seem like it was assembled from a gang of myspace metal music loving swingers or rejected suicide girls, least the females flash the flesh enough and there’s plenty of silly throw away lines & gags to hold your attention during its 80 minute duration. Not really what I'd call a standout scene but the most disturbing as a clown with a South Park style hand puppet called Mr Sicko working himself up with a cock pump only for Cockface to break in and over pump him. It’s mildly amusing if your in the mood for trash, most likely they had more fun making it than viewers will watching but its by no means the worse low budget horror come porn that’s ever been made.'

Gums (1976)

Gums (1976)
Director: Robert J. Kaplan
Writers: Paul E. Cohen, Sam Cohen
Cast: Brother Theodore, Terri Hall, Robert Kerman, Jody Maxwell, Crystal Sync
Insane parody of JAWS featuring horny puppets, a Mermaid who blows men to death (and in one case sticks her head out of a toilet) and a Nazi lunatic played by Brother Theodore who volunteers to capture the Mermaid for oil wells instead of money. Theodore has the "Captain Quint" role in this exercise in sea-going vulgarity. Richard Bolla looks a lot like Richard Dreyfuss and carries around a blonde blow-up doll for amusement. You must see this movie to disbelieve it. Lots of underwater photography of the naked mermaid (Terri Hall) swimming around, but watch out for those lust-mad puppets!

'Crude comic jaws parody porno with the twist it’s a man eating mermaid that replaces the shark, set in a small seaside town that relies on its beaches for summer tourism. When a few men get eaten alive Sheriff Coxswin tries to pressure for the closure of the beach. Failing to follow the sheriff wishes Mayor Ike White enlists a nazi Captain Carl Clitoris and sex specialist Doc Smegma to help track the mermaid down. Really cheap, funny and downright odd stab at comedy in a porn film some of the highlights include a scene the doc tries to kill the mermaid with a giant dildo missile like the oxygen tank in jaws, various crazy Punch and Judy style puppets and one really weird scene with talking dogs having sex. You just don’t get films like this these days so comes recommended more for curiosity value than for being a good film.'
