A dedicated student at a medical college and his girlfriend become involved in bizarre experiments centering around the re-animation of dead tissue when an odd new student arrives on campus.

The fan composite is made up of the long European release with all the gore of the unrated version. No point me doing a full review of this composite version, needless to say the films held up really well. Charles Bands brother Richard did the fantastic Bernard Herman styled score.

Top of the Brine (2011)

Top of the Brine (2011)
aka: Top of the Brine - Cinemageddon Collaboration 1
Director: Chadman, SCanfield, Bitchnun , Shrimp, junkyardgod, Mudman, OfficerDown
Cast: Chadman, SCanfield, Bitchnun , Shrimp, junkyardgod, Mudman, OfficerDown
Horror short, collaborative video project.
IMDB Page
Short horror collaboration from members of the cinemageddon cult film community. TotB doesn't so much follow a scripted plot but mixes various vignets together around the rough theme of a contaminated water supply. It's real home made, shoe string movie making of the lowest variety, made by fans for fans. But has the unique twist that one member films their segment than hands it to the next member and so on. Its only 5 minutes long, so should be seen more as a toe dipping exercise than fully realized project. That will no doubt, knowing the cinemageddon clan, grow into something so much more. I personally had as much fun with this short as I did with most the ones on the Troma dance collections. And who knows what the future holds for these guys. As it stands over 400 people have seen it, so if just a small % of those show interest in a future production whose to say where it could end.

Horny House of Horror (2010)

Horny House of Horror (2010)
aka: Fasshon heru, Fashion Hell
Director: Jun Tsugita
Cast: Hara Saori, Asami, Suzuki Mint
Pals Toshida and Uno insist on going to a brothel with their betrothed friend Nakazu, who has never paid for sex before. Each guy is matched with a nubile prostitute, unaware of the locale's deranged mission to sexually torture customers. Vagina dentata is the yarn's main means of attack, but samurai swords and phallic food games provide plenty of ketchup...
IMDB Page
Friends Uno and Toshida pursued their married friend Nakatsu to visit a sex parlour, with the simple aim that all three of them will get some sex. Only the place they pick 'Shogan Massage Palour' as a secret, that being its prostitutes kill their clients for the sole enjoyment of their boss, who watches in via hidden camera's. Thankfully Nakatsu having picked out an hooker named Nagisa doesn't have the heart to continue, so she takes pity on him and agrees to help him try to and rescue his friends.

Been a real steady supply of these Japanese action gore flicks recently featuring either cosplay costumed or naked girls. Horny House of Horror is one of the more entertaining entrys, largly down to the fact its story is so simple, resembling a cross between a typical Jap gore actioner and HG Lewis Gore Gore Girls. Its crammed with gory warped moments from fridges full of jarred penises to nipple's and cocks being chopped off with samuari swords. The highlight is the use twice of 'metal jaws' once covering over a vagina before intercourse the second has a set of teeth. Though some would see it as too crude and infantile I enjoyed it, the downside is the run-time was again just slightly over the hour mark, it makes me wonder if the whole populas of Japan doesn't have some kind of attention problem. To make it more attractive to customers, the distributors should really package 2 films per release.

In Hell (1981)

In Hell (1981)
aka: Ten Courts of Hades
Director: ???
Writer: ???
Cast: ???
Very gory and bizarre 70’s Taiwan-made horror-fantasy film, about a beautiful woman forced to endure the torments and tortures of going into hell and witnessing the gruesome punishments carried out there. Similar to the Japanese film JIGOKU, this shows people being sawed in half, intestines ripped out in graphic detail, eyes plucked out and put into bowls, people crushed, limbs dismembered, whippings, burnings, heads cut off, etc.!

Drainiac! (2000)

Drainiac! (2000)
Director: Brett Piper
Writer: Brett Piper
Cast: Georgia Hatzis, Alexandra Boylan, Ethan Krasnoo, Samara Doucette
Some teenagers in an old house find that there´s something evil in the water.
IMDB Page
Entertaining low budget nonsense about an old house with a possessed drainage system.

Sure its dumb but Bret Piper manages to add enough humor and off the wall gore effects to make it fun to view. He's got a great gift like Evil Dead's Sam Raimi in using original stop motion and models which give the Drainiac! an edge over typical lo-fi gore movies of the era.

Conton (1997)

Conton (1997)
aka: Con Ton, Jushin Densetsu
Director: Takuro Fukuda
Writer: Takuro Fukuda
Cast: ???
A boy has recurrent nightmares in which a giant demon monster persecutes him. Is the monster only created by his mind or it really exist?
IMDB Page
Short horror gore yarn running about 40 minutes, following a young man expiering recurring nightmares of demons, only are they just dreams or could they be real.

Clearly the film maker is interested in US cinema with memerobilia like Ghostbusters posters and ET figures dotted around the lead characters house. The gore though cheap is done well and with lots of enthusiasm. Well worth tracking down for fans of old 80's style gore movies.

Pig (2010)

Pig (2010)
aka: Adam Mason's Pig
Director: Adam Mason
Writer: Andrew Howard, Adam Mason
Cast: Molly Black, Guy Burnet, Andrew Howard
Pig plays out scenario after scenario of increasingly violent acts, ranging from merciless physical beatings, disembowelment, cannibalism (both willing and forced), and severe degradation, as blood and other body fluids flow with trashy, humorless, sadistic glee. There is nowhere to turn in this film, no relief, no mercy, no hope.
IMDB Page
British genre director Adam 'Broken, Devils Chair' Mason's expirimental assualt on American psycho movies. It's filmed in almost one continous shot (heard its between 2 or 3 cuts at most). Seems the current trend/buzz among film makers these days is to shoot a film without having any noticable plot. Pig on the surface is the same, we follow actor Andrew Howard as a psychopathic redneck for an hour and half through brutal killings, rapes, torture, insults and a cannibal meal complete with white wine.

The film appears to carry no agenda whatsoever yet deeper down as it progesses towards its offbeat final (and with the cock sure radio chat show bluring out) it becomes clear that its a study on mans misogynistic behaviour towards woman and our nihilistic behaviour in general towards our fellow man. I wouldn't exactly call it clever, but the message is still there. To sum it up Andrew Howard does a fantastic acting job as the lead, the film itself is shot really nicely but the content is trashy, boring and hard to stomach throughout. Noble attempt at doing something extreme and different, but one that for me didn't achieve its aim.

Spiderhole (2010)

Spiderhole (2010)
Director: Daniel Simpson
Writer: Daniel Simpson
Cast: Amy Noble, Emma Griffiths Malin, George Maguire
They say squatting is dead - a term that takes on a sinister double meaning when four homeless art students decide to take up residence in an abandoned London House where a hidden terror lurks.
IMDB Page
Underwhelming and unoriginal British horror about four art students, who out of rebellion towards their parents decide to live like squatters. They find an abandoned building that seems perfect, only when they wake up after their first nights sleep they find they've been locked inside with no way out.

Its typical maniac captures teens, then they start to get bumped off one after another. Its all well acted and starts with a few neat flourishes of suspense, but towards the middle it starts to sway towards blood and gore and becomes yet another torture movie (must mention the gores mild compared to Hostel or Saw). The twist isn't that much of a surprise either, by no means the worst but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Star Vehicle (2010)

Star Vehicle (2010)
aka: Bleading Lady
Director: Ryan Nicholson
Writer: Ryan Nicholson
Cast: Dan Ellis, Sindy Faraguna, Nathan Durec
Star Vehicle follows the downward spiral of movie driver Donald Cardini, a self-professed movie buff with a penchant for explosive violence when provoked. Driving the stars of low-budget movies, along with their fragile egos, to and from locations in the middle of nowhere, pushes Don's buttons in all of the wrong directions. When Luke, the young and self-absorbed writer/director challenges Don's authority, murder and mayhem ensues. The movie's Scream Queen' starlet, Riversa Red, to her dismay finds herself the target of Don's obsession. With his encyclopedic knowledge of her "body" and body of work, Don worms his way onto Riversa's good side, no easy task. Not knowing whether to fear or friend Don, Riversa finds herself at the center of a cyclone with Luke and Don both vying for her attention. A mysterious Hotel Bellboy and an unknown "watcher in the woods" lend themselves to the growing suspense as the cast and crew hold-up at Forest Grove Lodge.
IMDB Page
Plots about a low budget horror production that goes wrong, when the movies driver Don Cardini starts to pursue the films lead actress scream queen Riversa Red. Starts innocent enough with him being overly helpful but eventually Don goes too far and starts killing the crew and co-stars.

A few of the little horror genre gags are fun to start with, but the idea becomes boring way too soon. With minor hits like Live Feed, Gutterballs and Hanger behind him It's FX artist turned director Ryan Nicholson's weakest feature to date, and no doubt the reason why it struggled to get a distribution deal for so long.

Sella Turcica (2010)

Sella Turcica (2010)
Director: Fred Vogel
Writers: Don Moore, Fred Vogel
Cast: Damien A. Maruscak, Camille Keaton and Jade Risser
A paralyzed soldier returns from war to his family in worse shape than anyone at home could imagine.
IMDB Page
New toe-tag means more gore overload right ? well yes to some degree but Fred Vogel is attempting to move more into mainstream plot based horror with every new movie he brings out. And for most part he succeeds, plots pretty much a carbon copy of Bob Clarks classic zombie Vietnam movie 'Deathdream' (its due an official remake soon titled Zero Dark Thirty). About a returning from service soldier who's got a secret.

Everythings just passable with Sella Turcica (The title refers to a the bone in the skull, which is oddly never mentioned in the movie itself.) the actings OK infact next to most toe-tag films its oscar worthy, the scripts good enough. My only real problem is the film starts with lush scenery as the soldier Brad is driven home, yet once reaching the house, we never leave it and boy is it in need of a redecoration. Gore is something Vogel and his talented FX crew have always done well, and even though its only for the last 10 or so minutes is as bloody as you'll see. to sum it up, its definitely no classic, but is a nice step in the right direction for Toe-Tag and Vogel, if you consider its an indie horror its a pretty damned good movie.

Hard Revenge, Milly: Bloody Battle (2009)

Hard Revenge, Milly: Bloody Battle (2009)
aka Hâdo ribenji, Mirî: Buraddi batoru
Director: Takanori Tsujimoto
Writer: Takanori Tsujimoto
Cast: Miki Mizuno,Rei Fujita,Nao Nagasawa
Having tracked down and confronted the Jack Brothers, Milly is approached by a beautiful girl named Haru who asks her to help find and kill the person responsible for murdering her boyfriend. Initially reluctant to become involved in any more bloodshed, Milly recognizes and identifies with Haru’s passion for vengeance and agrees to train her so she may exact her own revenge. But no sooner have they begun than they are accosted by a gang of Jack’s sycophants who want Milly dead once and for all. Led by a cyborg-armed psychopath named Ikki, they prove not only to be a match for Milly and Haru, they are also found to be in possession of a secret that could drive a deadly stake between the two women.
IMDB Page
Like for like sequel to the original Hard Revenge Milly, so much so the first film is almost shown in its entirety during the opening credits. Plot again is secondary to the films gory fight scenes this time Milly has to battle the family of the people she killed during the original. This time she's joined by another female Hasu who doesn't seem to know which side she should be fighting with or against. Milly still has her shotgun leg but now has metal fists and bullet nunchucks complete with laser sights, again recommended to fans of cheesy cinema & wild gore

Hard Revenge, Milly (2008)
aka Hâdo ribenji, Mirî
Director: Takanori Tsujimoto
Writer: Takanori Tsujimoto
Cast: Miki Mizuno, Hirotsugu Imamura, Mitsuki Koga
In a near-future, post-apocalyptic Japan, Tokyo has become a wind swept desert while Yokahama City has been taken over by gangs of vicious criminals, the worst among them being the notorious ‘Jack Brothers’. Butchered and left for dead by Jack and his gang after being tortured and forced to witness the murder of her husband and infant child, Milly awakes in a deserted hospital to find herself miraculously alive and now in possession of a partly mechanized body. With nothing left to live for and driven only by revenge, Milly vows to hunt down the killers and to settle the score. First learning the art of sword combat from a master swordsman, she eventually embarks on a journey that can only lead her to straight to Hell.
IMDB Page
Ultra gory mindless revenge yarn about Milly who ends up near dead during a gang attack, she also loses her baby and husband. After her body as been rebuild she goes to seek revenge on the people responsible. Running in at just over 40 minutes the film throws plot and character development out the window, it feels like an FX showreel following Milly in a battle against the gangs 4 or so members. Fun for the undemanding viewer some of the FX are very cheesy but for most part they're highly bloody, recommended to people who like Braindead styled over the top cartoon gore.
