Sick-o-pathics!

Check this out! I'm getting the legendary low budget splatter flick SICK-O-PATHICS from 1996! It's directed by Massimo Lavagnini and among other fine actors it stars Antonio Margheriti, Luigi Cozzi, Renato Polselli, Lucio Fulci, Antonella Fulci, David Warbeck, Linnea Quigley, Sergio Stivaletti, Dardano Sacchetti, Joe D'Amato, Sergio Bergonzelli!!! The tape I'm getting is an English language release on the German Manic Entertainment label. There's no DVD release.

Trailer:

The video nasty scare of Sweden: Studio-S & Videovåldet

Argh!!! Quite a few years ago I remember reading about Studio S and the Swedish video nasty scare in an issue of the old (and sadly long gone) fanzine Video Ferox and now... it's coming to DVD with lots of... but I know dick about this so why don't you jump over to me mate Jason's blog and read his cool write-up on this new release. Go here. Now!

Slice dvd

Did you check the trailer I posted yesterday? If not I recommend you do so right away at least if you love gory flicks!! I posted the trailer because Diabolik mentioned the film to me but I hadn't actually read anything about it. I have now and, whoah, it made me order it right away! Check Fred's review here. I ordered it from one of my fave DVD/VCD stores in Thailand, eThaiCD.com and it came to $11.50 in total (they have free postage to anywhere). Check the disc here. If for some obscure reason you want the VCD instead they have that too at half the price. The DVD has English subs, the VCD doesn't.

EDIT: SATAN OG HELVEDE!!! Diabolik just mentioned to me that the DVD I'm linking to doesn't have English subs (or at least the store page only mentions Thai subs). Bummer! Who could've known they've put out different DVD versions in Thailand of the same film already!! I'll let you know if it's got subs or not when I get it. Argh, for fuck's sake!!!

SLICE - gory Thai slasher!

Diabolik recommended this film to me and after having watched this trailer I certainly wanna watch it. Look pret-ty good!

The vampire countess is dead.

I first saw Ingrid Pitt in THE VAMPIRE LOVERS on a double bill at the old Scala Cinema Club in London sometime in the late '80s. Right after I went out and bought COUNTESS DRACULA on video. And now she's gone. :(

Ingrid Pitt RIP.

A word from the editor about our big anniversary celebrations

The headline is of course wrong as this is neither a magazine nor are there any other people here than yours truly and thus no "our". But my initial headline "Three years down the line" reads too generic. LOLZ.

ANYWAY... Gee, has it really been THREE YRS since this debut post!!! I figured this blog would get me fortune, famous, laid, and more popular amongst my peers... and what's happened. No, don't answer that. Kurt's pic from Cinehound from today says it all. Pffft!

Has anybody been here since the first post apart from Nicolai? Some of you are truly "unknown readers in Cyberspace" and some are people I know either from real life or the blog world. But in any case thanks to everyone who's followed this crappy blog and either continue to do so or got pissed off (or bored) and left. Well, anyhoo, catch ya on the flipside, mates. :D

More old crappy posts from November 3 yrs ago here.

Thanks to Diabolik for the FB upload.

One armed executioners

How cool is this!! Our friend in Filipino fandom Andrew Leavold just came back from the Philippines where he spent time with about everyone who was ever working in Filipino films! I'm not jealous. Not at all. Not AT all (yeah right).

...and five years down the line I get the tape!

Gee! Five or six yrs ago I found the Indo war flick DAREDEVIL COMMANDOS on very old Danish VHS (carton case release from Westcon Home Video). Only, the tape inside the case was another release from the same label: The Korean war flick MISSION INFERNO! Fortunately, I managed to find another copy of DAREDEVIL COMMANDOS after a couple of years but still no case for MISSION INFERNO! Then skip to five years later (today) and I finally find another copy of MISSION INFERNO in an op-shop, this time WITH the original cardboard case and including the correct tape!!! Sometimes you NEED to be patient to be a collector!

Is it a good movie I hear you ask. Hell no. But it's RARE. Haha.
Check my old post about it here.
