School of Death Blu-ray review
School of Death aka El colegio de la Muerte is a Spanish horror thriller about a mad doctor lobotomizes women for sleazy purposes.

Blu-ray Review – Hiruko the Goblin – Mondo Macabro
When I was younger Tetsuo : The Iron Man, the debut film by Shinya Tsukamoto was one of those films you HAD to see if you digging into obscure cult cinema. Once I saw it, I wanted more, and I kept digging into Tsukamoto’s cinema with films like Tokyo Fist, Bullet Ballet, and of course…

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 Review – The Designated Victim – Mondo Macabro
