Tetsuo 3 (2009)

Tetsuo 3 (2009)
aka: Tetsuo: The Bullet Man
Director: Shinya Tsukamoto
Cast: Eric Bossick, Akiko Monô, Yûko Nakamura
An American named Anthony is living and working in Tokyo and married to a Japanese woman. When their son is killed by the same driver who creates the Tetsuos in the previous films, he makes the transformation into Tetsuo.
IMDB Page
A man named Antony is out walking down a street with his son, only while he's busy on the phone the young boy ends up being hit by a speeding car that later drives off. With the rage at losing his son mixed with iron that's accidentally entered his bloodstream, he ends up turning into a metallic android. He's now driven with the lone aim of avenging his son by going after the man responsible.

The Bullet Man is the second unsuccessful sequel to the legendary cult film Tetsuo. The first worked on a small budget as surreal cyberpunk fantasy with quick cutting interesting visuals, the Pt2 Body Hammer was very much the exact same film remade at greater cost that somehow lost its appeal and came off as bland. This 3rd entry coming decades later feels more like a parody of the series than an official entry directed Shinya Tsukamoto. Even with a running time of just over an hour I was praying for it to end, and sadly when it did end it left you with one of those 'ohh god no' they've set a future entry up.

Black Goat (2011)

Black Goat (2011)
Director: Joseph Nanni
Cast: Adam Wilson
Jacques Cowan is what the French call "a runner of the woods." He may be a foreigner in the new world but Jacques quickly learned the ways of the native people, their language, their routes, and their skills. But he didn't leave his life in another land for adventure, freedom, and wealth - he had much more in mind than trading pelts and cheating death. Jacques had listened intently to the stories that had crossed the ocean, extraordinary tales of mystical creatures and unknown forces. Black Goat finds Jacques mid hunt, as he closes in on what others thought was a legend. What he doesn't realize is that the legend is on a hunt of its own.

Prikosnoveniye (1992)

Prikosnoveniye (1992)
aka: Contact
Director: Albert S. Mkrtchyan
Cast: Aleksandr Zuev, Maryana Polteva, Vsevolod Abdulov
Description: A detective investigating a series of suspicious suicides realizes too late he might not be dealing with an organized crime group of hypnotists as he first believed...

A low-budget supernatural murder mystery filmed with a bare minimum of homemade special effects succeeds brilliantly in creating a truly inhuman, otherworldly atmosphere you won't want to experience again in a hurry.
IMDB Page
Slow paced Russian psychological ghost story, when a mother and her child are found dead from a suspected murder then suicide. An investigator tries to uncover the truth behind the incident, only things arn't as clear as what they at first seemed, and his leads start to follow suite and commit suicide, can he help her sister and daughter from the same fate.

Prikosnoveniye really outshines its clear low budget restraints, thanks greatly to its grown up somber tone and thought provoking story, it features one of the most unhollywood endings I've ever seen. Recommended but as far as I can tell it never got a release outside of Russia, so unless your fortunate enough (like I was) to stumble over a fansubbed version or actually speak Russian you'll find it hard to fully appriecate.

We Await (1996)

We Await (1996)
Director: Charles Pinion
Cast: David Aaron Clark, Connell Little, Charles Pinion
We Await Charles Pinions Follow up to his master work Red Spirit Lake is so different from any other movie ever created that I do not know if I am Smart enough to Judge it. The story line has something to do with a strange family allot of fungus and even has a grown man for a dog. Amanda Collins who played Marilin in Red Spirit lake plays Xena in this one and once again makes the movie at least worth watching. Their are some murders and shots of San Francisco but the really trippy scenes in this movie seem to bleed the sick underside of San Francisco all over the screen and left me wondering what the hell was going on! I suggest any one that watches this movie to get into some sort of altered state before hand and maybe then it will make sense.

Pituitary Hunter (1990)

Pituitary Hunter (1990)
aka: Brain Theft
Director: Dan Pan
Cast: Lung Lam Ling, Chang Wai Leung
The discovery of murdered corpses with their brains meticulously excised leads a Hong Kong cop into the seedy underworld of black market medicine, where he tracks a scapel-happy mercenary doctor with a diabolical experiment.
IMDB Page
Corpses are turning up in Hong Kong mortuaries and hospitals with their brains missing, a local celebrated inspecter is trying to solve the crime. He's slowly led to a seedy unauthorised doctor named Kwok, who's got a booming trade in everything from illeagal abortions to unorthodox medication, we later find out our not so good doctor as been doing it to turn his sick midget daughter into a normal sized healthy child.

Wild Hong Kong catIII sporting a truly bizarre and extremely uneven plot. Nothing really makes sense but thats one of the unique aspects of the film, because everytime it lacks logic (which is pretty much its entire duration) it just adds in a warped scene like the crazy character going around eating live animals or a mad self harming midget muscle man who takes out his frustraition by beating up a poster of Sylvester Stalone. Its pretty mild compared to other more notorious catIII's but how can the lure of a killer midget not warrant most cult movie fans attentions.

Bloodstream (1985)

Bloodstream (1985)
Director: Michael J. Murphy
Cast: Patrick Olliver, Jacqueline Logan, Catherine Rowlands, Mark Wells
A maker of really bad movies is showing his product. He´s rejected. He gets copies of some movies by Britain´s so-called King of Horror. There are a lot of different horror movies. One of them is a cheap zombie movie. Another features a mummy. There´s a bad vampire and awful werewolf film. In the real world, a skull masked killer is going around and murdering people. It seems to be connected to the making of a horror movie. Who could the killer be?
Slimeball producer William King rips off crap horror director Alistar Bailey, so Bailey alongside Kings secretary decide to get revenge on him and his small production team. For most the films duration the down on his luck director sits in his bedsit and spends his time sulking and and watching video nasties that poorly parody films like Hammer's Dracula, The Exorcist and Mad Max. The director then goes on a murder spree while filming the deaths for his latest stinker.

The films director Michael J. Murphy as stated he made the film as an attack on film distributers he'd had problems with, which kind of backfired because Bloodstream failed to secure a distribution deal so nobody got to see it. Its real zero budget fair from the UK, the acting is dire grade z stuff yet something about the feel and attitude kept me some what entertained and curious for its duration. Its not really recommended but if you do stumble over it and have an hour to kill theres worse junk out there, horror fans will no doubt have fun guessing some of the obvious references, I'm still puzzled why the secretary was obsessed with James Stewart but doubt I'll lose sleep over it or even remember Bloodstream in days or weeks to come.
