Hot Summer in The City (1976)



XXX roughie here that defines exploitation. The great thing about this roughie is that it also incorporates aspects of blaxploitation. So not only do we have ourselves a classic roughie, but we also get some jive talking, grade A blax taboot!

Unlike most rougies, the women in this film actually look like human beings. They are not bruised and beaten...a rarity among these films. Sickening and depraved, but a great film for you sleazebags!

The great thing about this film is that throughout it we hear songs by Robert Knight, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Doors, and The Shangri-Las, while Summer in the City is used as the theme song.

I could not find a trailer for this film.

Ginger (1971)




GREAT exploitation in the "Ginger Trilogy." The first volume in the trilogy, simply entitled "Ginger" is a wonderful introduction to these sleaze and sex filled detective films!

Ginger is recruited by a detective agency to help stop a ring of scumbags who whore out women to wealthy suburbanites for blackmail purposes. They run drugs on the side, taking advantage of the giant tourist population that flocks to the golden shores of coastal New Jersey. DO NOT be fooled. Ginger might be a detective looking to stop the evils of crime and drugs, but she ALWAYS has time for some sex!

Starring the sexy Cheri Caffaro. Every man wanted her; nobody could tame her! The original sexy sleuth, Cheri Caffaro, fights against drugs and prostitution.

Hell of The Living Dead (1981)




AKA- Virus, Zombie Creeping Flesh, Zombie Inferno, Night of the Zombies, and many more.

Just as Bruno Mattei has many pseudonyms, so does this film...but all will lead you to the 1981 cheese fest that is guaranteed to please Italian zombie fans!

After a chemical leak at the Hope Centre in Papua New Guinea turns its staff into flesh-eating zombies, a four-man commando squad are sent to find out the details. Filled with terrific zombie gore, nudity, and hilarious one liners this is a MUST SEE!!!

Recommendations- Zombi 2, Zombie 3, Rats: Nights of Terror

I Drink Your Blood (1970)




This is without a doubt one of my all time favorite grinders. It is textbook cheesiness and has the most amazing/hilarious premise ever!

A band of satanist hippies roll into a town and begin terrorizing the local folk. They rape a local girl and her grandpa goes after them. He fails and is given LSD. This bothers his grandson and he gets back at the hippies by feeding them meat pies infected with blood from a rabid dog. They turn into crazed lunatics and begin killing and/or infecting everything in their path.

Getting Into Heaven (1970)




1970's sex goddess Uschi Digard stars in this softcore classic.

Hollywood hopeful, "Heaven: wishes to get into films, but she must succumb to a whole bunch of sex with producers in order to get what she wants.

Welcome To Arrow Beach (1974)




Classic drive-in flick here. Great concept and filled with terrible acting and situations. Not as much blood as I expected or hoped for, but a great film nonetheless.

A hippie girl gets picked up by a strange man who invites her to stay at his house, but she begins to get the feeling that there are strange things going on. And she doesnt even know about the incestuous undertones...

Pieces aka Mil gritos tiene la noche (1982)



Directed by Juan Simon we are also graced with Joe D'Amato's writing for this uber classic chunk of sleaze.

As young college students are being viciously cut up on there campus people begin o wonder who the murderer is and how he or she can be stopped.

What do you get when you add classic death scenes, mental deterioration from a demanding mother, sleaze, sex, nudity, cheese, and a most bizarre ending? Easily one of the best slasher films EVER made!!

Pieces Trailer

Double Agent 73 (1974)




Set as the second installment of Doris Wishman's "Chesty Morgan" films, Chesty is back and better than ever. With more of a budget (for better or worse) this film is just as great as the first and this time Chesty has a government planted camera in her breasts in order to take down the low grade heroin that has been flooding her city.

A MUST SEE for any Doris Wishman, Chesty Morgan, or sleaze fan!!!

Deadly Weapons (1974)




In this classic film, directed by Doris Wishman, we are presented with the voluptuous "Chesty Morgan" and her "deadly weapons" as she defends herself in retaliation against the mob. Acting is terrible, plot is hilarious, and sleaze and cheese are aplenty in this more than classic exploitation film!

Humanoids From The Deep (1980)




Also know as "Monster" this is a prime b film from the main man himself, Roger Corman.

I was first introduced to this film when I saw the preview on an old tape of "Piranha." I quickly became obsessed with trying to acquire this film, but found it harder to come by than I expected. When I finally got a hold of a copy it was everything I wanted and more! Filled with cheesy acting, generic plot, nudity, gore, and predictability this is a prime example of exploitation. It is also based in a small fishing harbor town, which is a personal favorite setting of mine!

Please do yourself a favor and get this film. It is currently out of print and hard to find (and expensive if you do find it) but it is worth every penny! PS- make sure it is the original 1980 Roger Corman film, not the remake!

Zombi Holocaust aka Dr. Butcher M.D. (1980)




Seeing is believing and this movie reaffirms that statement completely. Filled with sleaze, gore, and absurdity I cannot possibly see how this film could disappoint anyone! Mad scientists and zombie armies are sure to please. And keep an eye out for the motor boat propeller...ahahahaha!!!




Dead Alive (1992)




So we all know Peter Jackson did a wonder cinematic recreation of the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, but did you know that two of his first few movies are considered some of the most ridiculous and gory films ever? Also know as "Brain Dead," Dead Alive is all out gore and laughs aplenty!

The story revolves around a man whose mother gets bitten by a "Sumatran rat monkey." She gets terribly sick, dies, and then comes back to torment the neighborhood.

Filled with disgusting images, a demonic baby, and TOOOONS of blood, this film with most definitely please gore hounds and trash cinema fans alike!

Poor White Trash 2 AKA Scum of The Earth (1974)




This has got to be one of my favorite exploitation films. I am not sure what exactly draws to to it, but every time I see it I lvoe it more and more. Maybe its the great hicksploitation feeling you get, or the sleaze overload, either way, this is a GREAT exploitation flick.

Newlyweds Helen and Paul decide to rough it for there honeymoon in a backwoods cabin. But when Paul doesn't return from the car, after getting a pack of cigarettes, Helen becomes worried, only to find him with an axe in his chest. Panicking Helen runs away only to find the "Pickett" family. Will they be her saviors or a bunch of sleazy inbreeds?

My Friends Need Killing (1976)





After contemplating on the atrocities he and his buddies committed during Vietnam, a war veteran decides to pay them all a visit and repay them for the crimes they committed!

When watching exploitation and B films one will begin to see many of the same plots and patterns in films; however, this is quite a unique one. It will be very hard to find as you will notice that I could not find a trailer or even a semi decent picture, but when and if you do find it, you will be oh so pleased!

Recommendation- Combat Shock, Thou Shall Not Kill...Except, The Mad Bomber

Cannibal Ferox




Cannibal Ferox aka Make Them Die Slowly ranks in there with the top of the cannibal flicks...not quite as epic as "Cannibal Holocaust" but will surely please any cannibal and/ or gore junkie.

Directed by the great Umberto Lenzi, this film is based around three friends who go to the Amazon jungle to disprove the "legend" of cannibalism. BUT, much to there surprise they have a not so friendly run in with what they had considered a "legend" all along.

Filled with real animal killings and the eating of human genitals, this one is sure to please the most twisted of fans!

Recommendations: Cannibal Holocaust, Mountain of the Cannibal God, Primitives

Nail Gun Massacre (1985)




After a girl is gang raped by a bunch of construction workers a masked vigilante begins to take out the rapists one by one...with, you guessed it, a nail gun.

What this film lacks in sleaze it surely makes up for in cheese. Between terrible dialogue, cheesy one-liners, and cheesy deaths this is a MUST SEE for exploitation and b cinema fans.
