THE KILLING OF SATAN

PHILLIPINES, 1983

Starring Ramon Revilla & Cecille Castillo

Directed by Efren C. Piñon

Empire selltape/bootleg? (Holland); Fullscreen; English with dutch subtitles

Über-weird christian lowbudget gore movie from the Phillipines. Genius!

ALIEN FACTOR

USA, 1978

Starring Don Leifert, Tom Griffith & Richard Dyszel

Directed by Don Dohler

EVC (Holland); Fullscreen; English with dutch subtitles

Fascinating low budget wonder with imaginitive, but very bad, special FX.

AMERICAN HUNTER

a.k.a Perawan di Sarang Sindikat (Indonesia); Lethal Hunter

Indonesia, 1988

Starring Chrisopher Mitchum, Bill Wallace, Peter O'Brian & Mike Abbott

Directed by Arizal

Euro Screen (Holland); Fullscreen, English with dutch subtitles

THE MAGNIFICENT GLADIATOR

a.k.a Il Magnifico Gladiatore (original title)

Italy, 1964

Starring Mark Forest, Marilù Tolo & Paolo Gozlino

Directed by Alfonso Brescia

Delta Video (Holland); Fullscreen; English with dutch subtitles

This video has the best homoerotic cover art i've seen, but the film is nothing special.

FIFTEEN YEAR OLD CAPTAIN

a.k.a Un Capitán de Quince Años (original title); Een Kaptein van 15 Jaar (Holland video title)

France / Spain, 1974

Starring Edmund Purdom, William Berger, José Manuel Marcos, Howard Vernon & Marc Cassot

Directed by Jesus Franco

VML (Holland); Fullscreen, French with dutch subtitles

Jess Franco + Jules Verne = two of my favorites, together at last! That's probably why I like this film even though it's generally considered cheap and boring shit even by Franco fans. OK, i'll give you that it's cheap but otherwise I think Franco has a pretty good feeling for simple, boys own Jules Verne-adventure... So shoot me.

FLAG OF DEATH

a.k.a Il Pirata del Diavolo (original title); The Saracens (USA)

Italy, 1963

Starring Richard Harrison, Luigi Batzella, Walter Brandi & John Turner

Directed by Roberto Mauri

EVC (Holland); Letterboxed; English language with dutch subtitles

Despite the title and cover there's not that much pirate action in this mildly amusing adventure film. Future trash-maestro Luigi Batzella plays the bloodthirsty, christian-hating turk warlord Mahmud.

GOLIATH AT THE CONQUEST OF DAMASCUS

a.k.a Golia alla Conquista di Bagdad (original title); Goliath and the Arabs (Holland video title)

Mexico, 1967

Eagle 6 (Holland); Fullscreen; English language with dutch subtitles

1960s fun with spies, models & absurd gadgets.

ATLAS

USA, 1961

Starring Michael Forest, Barbara Morris & Frank Wolff

Directed by Roger Corman

Video For Pleasure (Holland); Letterboxed; English language with dutch subtitles

Ultra-rare promo (?) release. No labels on tape but it should be an original. Only color+lbx print I know of this cheap, fun peplum (the only "real" US-made peplum).

KNIGHTS OF TERROR

a.k.a Il Terrore dei Mantelli Rossi (original title); Riders of Terror (Holland video title)

Italy, 1964

Starring Tony Russell, Yves Vincent & Carlo Calò

Directed by Mario Costa

EVC (Holland); Widescreen; English language with dutch subtitles

Cool swashbuckler with some gothic horror influences.

QUEEN OF THE TARTARS

a.k.a La Regina dei Tartari (original title); The Huns (USA)

Italy, 1961

Starring Chelo Alonso, Jaques Sernas, Mario Petri & Folco Lulli

Directed by Sergio Grieco

Delta Video (Holland); Widescreen; English language with dutch subtitles

Another highly entertaining peplum that hardly ever gets mentioned. In many ways this feels like a forerunner to the cycle of dumb sword and sorcery that ruled the 80s.

NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES

a.k.a La Horripilante Bestia Humana (original title); Gomar: The Human Gorilla (undefined); Horror and Sex (undefined)

Mexico, 1969

Starring José Elías Moreno, Norma Laazreno, Arlos Lopez Moctezuma & Amando Silvestre

Directed by René Cardona

Benelux Video (Holland); Fullscreen (OAR); English language with dutch subtitles; Uncut

A true bad taste classic that features rapist gorillas, open heart surgery, masked female wrestlers, mad scientist, gore and much, much more!
