MAGDALENA, POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL

I've mentioned a couple of other THE EXORCIST rip-offs before and tonight I watched yet another one, this time from Germany of all places: MAGDALENA, POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL (1974) (aka Devil's Female / Beyond the Darkness / Magdalena, vom Teufel besessen) on bootleg dvd from Trash Palace. I expected it to be fairly okay but it turned out to be totally entertaining!! Recommended. Oh, and it was banned in Finland!

BRUKA QUEEN OF EVIL

Here's a VERY cool trailer for the Filipino movie BRUKA QUEEN OF EVIL. Enjoy the trailer, it's all you're going to see! The film isn't released ANYWHERE on video/vcd/dvd/bootleg/anything!!!

EDIT: BRUKA has now been found!!!



NB: I suppose everyone is gone by now so it's safe to re-animate this floater (i.e. blog). LOL.

Y'ur on your own buddy!

Bloody hell! This blog is becoming too popular again! I'm sorry but I can not deal with all this super-stardom so I'm closing this blog for good. Again. To those of you who sat patiently and waited for new updates: thanks for the ride. I'm sorry but I must leave you now, it's time for you to stand on your own two feet anyway. I can not keep guiding you thru life. I have stuff to do. Things to fix. I am a hitman and must go alone. Goodbye.

Haha. Sådan ska' det være!

Corpse Mania coming to get ya!!!

Hong Kong vcd

Yep, that's right; you heard it here first (unless you read it at Dvdmaniacs or on Amazon)!! The very enjoyable dark 1981 Hong Kong horror movie CORPSE MANIA is being released on dvd soon!!! (well, in October that is). It's coming out from Image in the US. I was about to air my worries about their fucking up previous releases by only supplying their dvd's with the wrong audio track (Mandarin instead of Cantonese) but in this case it really shouldn't be a worry as the correct soundtrack is the Mandarin anyway! The film is already out on a spiffy vcd from Celestial in HK and that one's only got the Mandarin dub. It was released in Hong Kong alongside another great, dark and gory horror movie; THE BOXER'S OMEN which unfortunately only had the Mandarin audio track when Image put it out on dvd (and in this case the correct audio is Cantonese). Anyway, if you're into dark horror movies then do yerself a favour and get it; it's great. Almost like a Chinese giallo murder mystery.

Treasure Island in Outer Space

About five years ago I bought Antonio Margheriti's TREASURE ISLAND IN OUTER SPACE. The film version, mind you. However, TREASURE ISLAND IN OUTER SPACE was actually made as a TV-series for Italian television entitled L'Isola del Tesoro and I always wondered about this original series; I thought the film version was... not good. It had its moments but basically I thought it was as pleasant as drinking day old coffee. However, the masochist in me kept nagging; "What's it like, eh? What's it like, eh? What's..." You get the point. I always figured the series never surfaced outside of Italy so when I discovered that it was actually released on vhs in Japan, and even English friendly too, I just knew I had to set that automatic eBay search engine once again. Anyway, I won it at an auction in the US last night so hopefully soon I'll be able to inform the world (i.e. YOU) whether this is even more of the same mind-numbingly boring crap as the film edit or if this is actually a case of a fantastic television series turned into an awful movie. Somehow I think I already know the answer but as with most things in life I'll try and keep an open mind. But... it's hard.

Another important blog entry

Some guy in Minnesota wrote and complained about my having shifted to Danish on this here blog. Maybe I should change it back. Haha.

Oh, and I bought Lamberto Bava's MASCHERA DEL DEMONIO (not to be confused with Mario Bava's film of the same title, in English known as Mask Of Satan/Black Sunday!!):



Not on dvd anywhere. This is the Japanese vhs entitled Demons 5: Devil's Veil.

"Det er der ikke nogen der bruger i Danmark"

Da jeg for et par år siden ville købe en billig dvd-afspiller i Føtex, spurgte jeg ekspedienten, om den nu også kunne afspille vcd'er (altså video-cd, film optaget på cd i stedet for dvd), hvortil han svarede, at det kunne være ligemeget for: "Det er der ikke nogen, der bruger i Danmark"! Hvorvidt han blev overrasket, da jeg oplyste ham, at det gjorde jeg skam, aner jeg ikke. Og jeg er også ret ligeglad. Jeg fik min 300 kroners dvd-afspiller, som nu iø ligger begravet et sted i fortiden. Det gør mine indkøb af vcd'er til gengæld ikke, hah, og i går fik jeg følgende film fra Den Britiske Kronkoloni (vi er et par stykker, der fornægter de rødes overtagelse):

THE RED PANTHER
WITCH FROM NEPAL
GHOST BUSTIN
PRETTY GHOST
GHOST BALLROOM
THE GHOST INFORMER
DOCTOR VAMPIRE
SCARED STIFF
GHOST FEVER
THE SEVEN COFFINS
VAMPIRE VS VAMPIRE

Ja, du har ret; en del af dem er horror-komedier. So sue me. Jeg kan rent faktisk godt lide dem. Efter alle disse år med Hongkongesiske plat-heder er jeg faktisk begyndt godt at kunne lide dem. Ja, det er sikkert sørgeligt.

Endnu et par film, næsten alle på video, som jeg fik i dag og i går grundet flinke mennesker (tak til Diabolik og Henschjell) og som jeg er vældig glad for:

MAVI MERSEDES (tyrkisk exploitation) (tyrkisk exrental)
THE NEW GAME OF DEATH aka Dødens Spil (med den bedste Bruce Lee efter Bruce Lee: Bruce Li) (dansk exrental)
KARATE INFERNO: THE EXECUTINDER 2 (Sonny Chiba) (dvd)
THE SHARK HUNTER aka Skattejagt i haj-dybet af Castellari (dansk exrental)
COMMANDER LEWIN aka Comanders (dansk exrental)
SILK 2 (helt utroligt!! Jeg har altid troet, at sequellen ikke var ude på dansk!!) (dansk exrental)
HELL HOLE aka Kvindefængslet på klippeøen (Santiago) (dansk exrental)
