I am sitting here having just watched the Paul Naschy directed/starring the Frenchman’s Garden. A film I could only have sat through on a bad bootleg just a few years ago. 10 years ago even I could only get a handful of Naschy’s more popular horror works on DVD, and now I could pull so…
Blu-ray Review – It’s Nothing Mama, Just A Game – Mondo Macabro
The influence of the Most Dangerous Games seem to have not strayed for from the world of EuroCult cinema in the 70’s. In the past Mondo Macabro themselves have released at least 2 films that I can think that have channeled the themes of the story, with last year’s release of Seven Women for Satan,…
Blu-ray Reviews – Human Animals – Mondo Macabro
Eligio Herrero’s 1983 film Human Animals is set in a world where the bombs have finally dropped, and the end of the world has arrived. Into this nuclear apocalypse are 3 individuals 2 men and one woman who awaken seemingly in the middle of a desert environment. One of the men and the woman appear…
Blu-ray Review – The Designated Victim – Mondo Macabro
The giallo was big business in Italy in the early 70’s. Yeah, it got its start in the 60’s, but it seems once Argento took flight with his Bird with the Crystal Plumage the genre really boomed. Hundreds of the films were made just in the 3-4 years after Bird…, and while not everyone took…
Blu-ray Review – Howl of the Devil – Mondo Macabro
We had a few Paul Naschy flicks make it to domestic DVD. But it feels as time goes on, we have received a rainfall of Naschy’s work on the Blu-ray format. Now, we’re starting to get films from Naschy that I NEVER anticipated seeing outside of awful bootlegs like the latest Mondo Macabro release of…
Blu-ray Advance Review – Hunting Ground – Mondo Macabro
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 – 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…
Blu-ray Review – Panic Beats – Mondo Macabro
Classic Paul Naschy films are sort of an addiction for me. When another one finds its way into my mailbox, it also tends to find its way my Blu-ray player almost immediately. This month Mondo Macabro have unleashed the sadistic and brilliant Naschy film Panic Beats an upgrade for their previous and over a decade…
Blu-ray Review – Sins of the Flesh (Mondo Macabro)
I had zero idea what I was getting into with Sins of the Flesh when I put into my player, and the reason being is the first 5 minutes of the film tell a tale that can go either way. The opening of the film follows a group of women who are trying to have…
