JUST BEFORE DAWN

a.k.a Camping Med Döden (Sweden)

USA, 1981

Starring George Kennedy, Chris Lemmon & Deborah Benson

Directed by Jeff Lieberman

Mariann (Sweden); Fullscreen; English with swedish subtitles

Perhaps the finest example of 1980s teen slasher. Uncut.

OPEN SEASON

a.k.a Los Cazadores (Spain); The Recon Game; Jaktoffer (Sweden video title)

UK / SPAIN / USA / SWITZERLAND / ARGENTINA, 1974

Starring Peter Fonda, John Philip Law, Helga Liné, William Holden, Richard Lynch & Cornelia Sharp

Directed by Peter Collinson

VTC (Sweden); Letterboxed; English with swedish subtitles

I really liked this Most Dangerous Game-exploitationer with an international cast and some nices 70s sleaze/terror/revenge-movie touches. The swedish VHS is uncut I believe, but cuts right to trailers after the last scene, which makes for a shorter running time.

BATTLE OF THE AMAZONS

a.k.a Le Amazzoni - Donne D'amore e gi Guerra (original title); Beauty of the Barbarian (UK video title); Fighting Amazon (Sweden video title)

ITALY, 1979

Starring Monty Ray Garrson, Cecilia Buonocore & Auretta Gay

Directed by Michele Massimo Tarantini

Trix (Sweden); Letterboxed; English with swedish subtitles

Hilarious Travolta-sploitation with dance sequences that makes you pee your pants with laughter! All the comedy in this comedy is unintentional of course. A party classic.

BLIND RAGE

a.k.a Det Blinda Gänget (Sweden video title)

PHILLIPINES, 1978

Starring Tony Ferrer, D'Urville Martin, Leo Fong & Fred Williamson

Directed by Efren C. Piñon

Transworld (Sweden); Fullscreen; English with swedish subtitles

Really silly, but fun, fillipino action/heist/comedy about a bunch of blind robbers (the... ahem... perfect plan: who would suspect a blind guy?). In the last five minutes Fred Williamson arrives to save the day! (even semi-stars needs to pay the rent)
It's sometimes hard to see where the intentional and unintentional comedy ends and begins, but who cares, really?

BLASTFIGHTER

a.k.a Force of Vengeance

ITALY, 1984

Starring Michael Sopkiw, Valentina Forte, George Eastman & Michele Soavi

Directed by Lamberto Bava

BAD RONALD

USA, 1974

Starring Scott Jacoby, Pippa Scott & John Larch

Directed by Buzz Kulik

MDC (Sweden); Fullscreen; English with swedish subtitles

Really creepy TV movie about a shy, weird nerd who accidentaly kills a school bully and is hidden in a secret room in the house by his over protective mother. When the mother dies from an operation Ronald continues living in the secret room, even when a new family with two young daughters move in. Ronald drills a hole in the wall and the family becomes increasingly suspicios when they start hearing noices and food and other stuff start mysteriously dissapearing. In the meantime Ronald starts to lose more and more grip with reality until he finally starts believing he's the prince of his made up fantasy land called Atranta, and that the princess (the cute young daughter) needs to be saved... and then it's time for Ronald to come out... brrr... Highly recommended.

Starring Joseph Olita, Thomas Baptise & Geoffrey Keen

Who needs a film like The Last King of Scotland when video support us with cheap, stiff exploitationfilms like this one?

This mess of a acion-adventure-espionage movie is the essance of eurotrash! Also included on the tape is the very funny trailer.

NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE

USA, 1986

Starring John Stamos, Vanity, Gene Simmons, George Lazenby, Tara Buckman & Robert Englund

Directed by Gil Bettman

Transworld (Sweden); Fullscreen; English with swedish subtitles
Unbelievable, embarrasing 1980s action-martial arts-espionage turkey with Gene Simmons as the dragqueen, anarchist supervillian Velvet von Ragnar (!) who shouts stuff like: "I'm gonna poison their water supply! For gold! For ransom! For jewels! For money!". It's Gymkata meets James Bond on bad drugs. Yikes.

Beautifully animated adaption of Orwell's classic satire of Stalinism. They should have skipped the upbeat ending though.
