The Touch of Her Flesh (1967)





Considered one of the first "roughie" films, "The Touch of Her Flesh" is the first in a "flesh" trilogy, by the Findlays. The 2nd and 3rd are entertaining, but this one is absolutely fantstic!

When a husband comes home to find his wife sleeping with another man he is distraught and involed in an automobile accident. Wheelchair bound, he seeks revenge on strippers and hookers, while planing the ultimate revenge on his wife!

One of a kind film. The definition of drive-in, "exploitation" SINEMA. Sleazy and ohhhh so fun!!


Unfortunetly, no trailer could be found for this gem...

Welcome Home Brother Charles (1975)



AKA- Soul Vengeance

Classic blaxploitation!!! Subjected to bizarre experiments in prison, our protagonist, "Brother Charles" is let free and seeks revenge on the wives of those who tortured him in prison.

What kind of weapon would you choose for such a task? Well Charles chooses, his penis, and why not when it is enormous and filled with super strength!

Great premise, a non typical blax flick with some token blax elements! This baby ir original and a MUST SEE...ASAP!!!


Friday The 13th, Part 2 (1981)






Friday The 13th is without a doubt my favorite horror franchise, and part 2 is probably my favorite.

We are exposed to the maniac killer Jason, for the first time. Only he does not have his infamous hockey mask, quite yet. He is only equipped with a sack over his head....to hide that beautiful mug shot.

I love the atmosphere of the film. The night setting with the rain pouring. And (SPOILER ALERT), I love when the guy in the wheelchair gets killed...one of the best Friday the 13th deaths!

A must see for Friday the 13th, Slasher, or 80s horror movie fans!!


Vigilante (1983)





So I think I might be the only person in the world to say this, but this is my favorite Bill Lustig film. And yes, I am talking, even more so than "Maniac."

This is such a great revenge film, with an all star cast. Fred Williamson (with his awesome on foot chase scene), Robert Forster, Richard Bright, and the list goes on.

Great 1980's NYC setting done masterfully by exploitation god, Bill Lustig!

I was lucky enough to find a 35mm print of this and screened it during my film series about 10 months ago. Was a beautiful sight seeing this baby on the big screen!

Check out the awesome trailer. The 60's and 70's were gone, but amazing trailers were still being cut!!....


Poor Pretty Eddie (1975)






Textbook exploitation. One of my top 15 favorites and one of my top 2 favorite hicksploitation films! One of those few films I watch 15-20 times a year...easily!

This rarity MUST BEEN SEEN my any exploitation or bizarre cinema enthusiast. It can be found, on a shitty DVD transfer; however, word on the street has it, that a proper DVD release is in the works....and Ohhh how excited I am!!

I could not find an actual trailer, but below is a clip to check out, to get an idea what you're getting into! A trailer can be found on "42nd Street Forever: Volume 5, The Alamo Drafthosue Edition" under the alternate title, "Redneck County."


Lizard In A Womans Skin (1971)





FANTASTIC film by the Italian Horror maestro, Lucio Fulci! Extremely stylized and surreal at times, with the gore that a Fulci film promises!

Porno Holocaust (1981)




Pure sleaze by the Euro-sleaze master himself, Joe D'Amato.

I am not really sure what D'Amatos purpose for making this film was.... Was it to push the envelope? Make some quick cash...both of the above? Either way, we are left with a historical piece of trash to examine and wonder what possess a person to make a film like this, and what possess us to watch it.

A group of castaways wash up on a deserted island. They are unaware the island is inhabited by a sex-crazed monster who has radioactive sperm, which, you guessed it, leads to the death of some of our female actresses.

Not much to this one here. If you like Italian sex and/or gore films...check it out. If you like to be shocked by bizarre images....check it out. If you have any sense whatsoever....CHECK IT OUT!

Also, I think it is either OOP (out of print) now, or is soon to be. So if you are really nervy, buy a copy!

This is truly an ugly movie, but one that MUST BE SEEN!!!

If you like this, than check out, "EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD", or vice-versa
