Up until last month’s Mondo Macabro Blu-ray release of Blood Ceremony (aka the Legend of Blood Castle), the only Jorge Grau film I had seen was his iconic zombie film “The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue” (aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie). This Month Mondo Macabro is back with another essential release further exposing the non-undead…
Blu-ray Review -Satan’s Blood – Vinegar Syndrome
Can I just start and end this review by saying this film had a skull full of sex butter, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED?I guess not. Alright, so Satan’s Blood follows married couple Anna and Andy. Anna is 4 months pregnant, and the pair are quite bored. They get into their car and drive around trying to find…
Blu-ray Review – Cthulhu Mansion – Vinegar Syndrome
Anyone who talks to me about my favorite horror films for even 10 minutes will find out my great admiration for J.P. Simon’s “Pieces”. I’ve seen this film theatrically, I’ve owned it on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray and if a 4K disc comes out, I’ll be in line right away to buy it. At the…
Blu-ray Review – Ascendance of a Bookworm – Sentai Filmworks
Ascendance of a Bookworm is one of the more interesting isekai anime series I’ve seen in recent times. It seems since Overlord (my beginning reference point for the genre). There have been an abundance of isekai springing up, and not a lot of them have much to really offer outside of superficial differences. That is…
Blu-ray Review- Chidori RSC – Sentai Filmworks
Chidori RSC is an adaptation of the manga series “Rifle is Beautiful” by the writer and illustrator Salmiakki. When this found it’s way to my doorstep, the first thing I noticed was the obvious, cute girls with guns. The second thing I noticed was the resemblance of two of the cute girls, to 2 of…
Blu-ray Review – The Curious Dr. Humpp (AGFA)
Admittedly the most I had previously seen from the Curious Dr. Humpp was from the Something Weird Video intro reel that was included on every DVD release from the company. It was enough to entice me to WANT to see it, but I never did get around to this wild slice of Argentinian softcore until…
Blu-ray Review – Dark Tower – Vinegar Syndrome
I don’t think anyone looking at the cover of the Dark Tower will confuse this with the recent adaptation of the Stephen King book series. However, as a preface I’ll just say this has nothing to do with that. This Dark Tower film follows the goings on in an unfinished office building in Barcelona. The…
Blu-ray Review – Killing Bites (Sentai Filmworks)
Killing Bites follows the exploits of Yuya and Hitomi. As the series opens Yuya is an accomplice to the Hitomi’s kidnapping and attempted gang-rape (this is hard to watch). He tries to put a stop to it, but as it turns out, Hitomi was straight up able to do that by brutally killing her kidnappers….
Blu-ray Review – Queens of Evil – Mondo Macabro
A few winters ago my good friend Brad (who co-host the wonderful “Hello this is the Doomed Show!”, listen to it!) sent me a stack of DVD-R’s of films he thought I might have missed out on, or films that he knew I liked but weren’t out on DVD, Blu-ray, etc yet. One of these…
Blu-ray Review – Blood Ceremony – Mondo Macabro
I will have to admit that until the Blood Ceremony Blu-ray landed in my mailbox I had not seen any films by Jorge Grau outside of his famous Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie). So needless to say I excited to expand my knowledge of Grau’s oeuvre. Blood Ceremony (aka the…
