Motel Hell (1980)




What "Motel Hell" lacks in sleaze it surely makes up for in cheesiness and gore.
I have to add this film, because this is where it all begins. I can vividly remember my best friend and I, being only in 4th grade, having has dad bring us up to Movie Warehouse and renting "Motel Hell" on the weekends. When we decided to rent another film, we would pray that Joe Bob Briggs would be showing this film on Monstervision late that night. Ahhhh, the memories.

"Motel Hell" is without a doubt one of my all time favorite films. Based around brother and sister farmers, Vincent & Ida, whose idea of fun is to trap people by their farm, bring their bodies to their garden, slit their throats and fatten them up until they are chosen to be ground up for their famous beef jerky.

Burial Ground AKA Nights of Terror (1981)




Director Andrea Bianchi truly delivers in this film. The plot? Who cares. All you need to know is that we have zombies, a deranged child who is in love with his mothers naked body, the same child biting off his mothers breast, and oh so much more! A true classic for fans of zombie films, trash, and Italian horror!!

Oh, Peter Bark, you little Italian Thespian....how we love you

The Sinful Dwarf (1973)




An all time favorite of mine and most fans of Euro-Trash cinema.

This film has one of the greatest, yet most ridiculous plots at the same time.

Based in a small Danish city, Olaf (the dwarf) lives with his alcoholic and demanding mother. He lures young girls into their house with toys, quickly gets them addicted to heroin, and whores them out to local scumbags.

"The Sinful Dwarf" was recently released by smut video distributer "Severin Films.' While they have yet to release the uncut XXX version, this one surely holds us fans over.


Extreme depravity- CHECK
Forced intravenous heroin use- CHECK
Rape- CHECK
Incestuous undertones- CHECK
A dwarf that looks frighteningly like Jack Black- CHECK


*And additional note- Torben, who plays the sinful dwarf, was known for hosting his own children's television show prior to the film...which makes it all the more disturbing...

I Spit on Your Grave (1978)




The for birth of the "Sleaze Cinema" we will review one of the sleaziest, most classic exploitation flick to ever exist.

To argue that "I Spit on Your Grave" has any redeeming value one would have to be out of their mind. Director Meir Zarchi would tell you that this is a story that reflects and is inspired by a real life incident he witnessed; however, most viewers and fans of this film would agree that it is nothing more than sleazy fun.

Also known as "The Day of The Woman" this film is based in the summertime when writer Jennifer Hills goes to the country to find peace and solitude in writing her new novel. What she encounters is the EXACT opposite. After being stalked and harassed by a group of locals, she is raped and driven to a nasty revenge.
