brief. |

Body
Count (Camping del Terrore, 1986)
UNCUT VERSION
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Directed by Ruggero Deodato, Italy
Mimsy Farmer and "Last House On The Left"'s David Hess star with
Charles Napier. I had read quite a bit of praise on this Italian
slasher movie patterned after the "Friday The 13th" films but
have to say I was a bit let down. I mean it certainly wasn't any
worse then some of that series, but Deodato (director of the notorious
"Cannibal Holocaust" and the infinitely better "House By The Edge
Of The Park") seemed too stuck on using the American film as a
blueprint. Definitely worth a look (but don't get your hopes up!)
and this is the uncut version. |

The
Para Psychics (To koritsi vomva aka Death Has Blue

ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Directed by Nico Mastorakis, Greece
2
free-loving happy-go-lucky small-time cons meet up with a beautiful
woman and her mother. Unbeknownst
to them they are being followed by what seem to be assassins on
motorcycles. The woman turns out to have psychic and telekinetic
powers. Her mother offers them $2,000 to protect them from the killers.
This movie is not so much a straight-up Giallo but rather belongs
more to the "what the fuck!?" sub-genre. "Para Psychics"
has a bad reputation as one of the worst movies ever made but I
enjoyed it quite a bit! The middle part of the film is a bit hard
to follow as nothing much happens plot-wise; the 2 men wander around,
sleep with a lot of naked women and fight off attacks by the assassins.
There is a big plot twist towards the end. The free-spirited attitude
of the 2 men creates a sort of "Butch Cassidy"-on-drugs
atmosphere. Not an epic but I liked it! The picture quality is a
bit dark at times but not bad. Includes the original theatrical
trailer! Starring Jessica Dublin, Maria Aliferi, Peter Winter and
Hristos Nomikos. |

A

Barbara Carey plays a woman who, while on a trip to Rome, learns
that her sister is one of several blind girls who has turned up
murdered recently! Following a lead to an island where an unusual
family lives, she pretends to be blind in order to track down the
culprit. Despite a bit of nudity and blood, this one does play a
bit like a t.v. movie, albeit a decent one that gets pretty intense
at times! |

The
Student Connection (Un Par de zapatos del '32, 1973)
ENGLISH LANGUAGE WITH GREEK SUBTITLES
Directed by Rafael Romero Marchent, Spain / Italy
Ray Milland
is Dr. Mann, a doctor / caretaker at a boarding school for young
boys. We learn that he has hired an assassin to kill a man so he
can be with his beautiful wife Sonja (reservedly played by Sylva
Koscina). The plot goes overboard, however, when the assassin blows
up an entire jet airplane killing over 100 people just to get to
the one guy. Enraged upon hearing this, Dr. Mann picks up a statue
and bashes the assassin's head in. He then notices one of the young
boys spying on the incident but doesn't see which one. Sonja convinces
Mann thatthey can only do one thing to save their skins: Find out
which boy it was and kill him! A fast paced movie with a decent
performance by Milland, the film still lacks any kind of real style
(which these films usually need) and comes off just okay. Also starring
Ramiro Oliveros, Franco Giacobini, Charly Bravo and María Silva. |

To
Kill A Stranger (Matar a un extraño, 1983)
ENGLISH LANGUAGE WITH GREEK SUBTITLES
Directed by Juan Lopez Moctezuma, Mexico
I was surprised to find this one from the director of "Alucarda",
"Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon" and "Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary" (all
available in our "Horror" section) as years ago I had
thought those were his only 3 films. Not so! This obscure murder
thriller is his 4th and second-to-last film. A pretty pop singer
(believably portrayed by popular Mexican film and t.v. star Angelica
Maria in one of her only English roles) is traveling across a Latin
country to meet her news reporter husband (Dean Stockwell). Her
car brakes down during a storm and she has the unfortunate luck
of being picked up by Donald Pleasance, a rich local retired army
man / war hero. Seemingly helpful at first, he turns out to be a
homicidal rapist and, while defending herself, she ends up killing
him! In a panic she hides the body in a well but must now deal with
the police and iron-fisted local army officers who are trying to
discover the whereabouts of this missing "hero"! Although
competently made, this is probably Moctezuma's most mainstream film
mainly due to it's lack of grue and the gawdawful performance by
Aldo Ray as a police detective. The rest of the cast is very good
but it's Pleasance who steals the show (naturally!) and as such
the film really only kicks in during his scenes. Look for Mad Magazine
cartoonist Sergio Aragones as the controlling army general! |

Trhauma
(aka Il mistero della casa maledetta aka Thrauma,
1980)
ITALIAN
LANGUAGE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES
Directed by Gianni Martucci, Italy
After falling out of a tree on a childhood dare, a young man ends
up both physically and severly mentally scared. His mind becomes
so twisted that his only joys in life seem to be playing with plastic
toy blocks and murdering! The movie is a mix of a slasher film and
a giallo (though those hints are more than easy to figure out)!
Although it's not as bloody as one would hope and the ending is
a bit of a letdown it's not a total loss either. I would probably
recommend this one based on rarity alone. The scariest moment? That
shockingly bad disco number at the beginning!! ~Melissa Kusia
Starring
Gaetano Russo (as Ronald Russo), Domitilla Cavazza (as Dafne Price)
