What about films that look like they are going to be sick but in fact turn out to be really good!
I watched a film a long time ago called "a tale of two sisters" from the cover you'd have thought it was a proper weird and sick but it was just aright good ghost story. I bet if Boozey watched it he would have been proper miffed.
Watched Nekromantik... in german... no subtitles... I think I got the jist of it though...
Pretty much what I expected it to be like... Now I got to see the second one. Messed up film... poor kitty :(
And I got to see another film I've wanted to see for yonks last night 'Unhinged'
It was meh. Not as good as it had been made out to be.
Don't know if Visitor Q was by Takashi Miike.... has a bloke have his way with a corpse... then rigor mortis sets in and it gets stuck on his.... and he can't get it off... odd film
:lol: :lol: :lol:
This has to be bought just for seeing that alone!
Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

I just found this little gem through that horro film site. It's the full short film and it's great! It reminds me of Bad Taste
Another film that comes to mind is this one. It's a short film called "Roadkill: The Last Days of John Martin" It's made by Jim Van Bebber (The Manson Family) and it's a short film that was made to finance a full length version (which is why their is little plot and it doesn't really make any sense. It was supposed to be made into a full 90minute movie). But, for one reason or another, a full version was never made and this 15minute short is all that's left.
*WARNING* It's pretty graphic stuff, but worth a watch...
It did get a very small DVD/VHS release with another film (My Sweet Satan) which is also worth watching if you can find a copy ;-)
Just waiting for my DVD copy of Necromantik 2 to turn up. I won one on E-bay over the weekend (?29.99 plus ?1 P&P). It was expensive, but a LTD edition and long since deleted (it also comes with the soundtrack cd and from what I've heard of it so far, it's a good one).
So I'm looking forward to that at somepoint this week :D
Ah the good old days when you got banned movies they where usually on tape and where a copy of a copy with crap sound and quality...
I have a copy of Cannibal Holocaust like that. It's not even an uncut version either, but the old GO Video release (missing about 5 minutes of footage).
The first time I saw "Temple of Doom" and Tim Burtons "Batman" were on pirate VHS. My copies had Arabic subtitles :lol:
Also, the copy of Ghostbusters 2 that I saw had badly out of sync sound. Almost a full second delay between the lips moving and the words coming out. Shockingly bad picture too.
I hear we have a better quality pirate video trade these days ;-)
Haha dodgy copies, I remember my ma's friend brought us Twins and Robocop 2 from Cyprus.
My best mates uncle got us The Fly 2 as a dodgy copy as well, but it was really good quality, and I'm sure we got the copy about 2 years before it was actually released :lol:
Oh and Terminator 2, and Predator 2, also copies bought from some dodgy marketplace in Cyprus by one of my mates aunts. I guess Cyprus was really popular in the late 80's and early 90's :D
most of the films i saw as a kid were pirate copies from malta. :p
lawmowerman, predator 2, robocop 2, highlander 2, etc.
you either got a fuzzy picture, or a time stamp. apparently on some films you got the 'for your consideration' message as they were sent out to voters for the oscars or other award ceremonys. but as you can see from the films above i wasn't picking them on their artistic quality.
the biggest coup i got was TMNT. i never had any proper turtles cos we were poor, i think i had a cheap knock off one, but i did get the film before everyone else. and you can imagine the kudos that brought.

The really dark green ones that had the lead in the paint, and all looked identiacal apart from the headband colour? I think they came from Korea? :D
I liked the cartoon, but tbh I thought the toys were shit, never actually wanted any, although if I had've I'd have been in the same boat as you, I'd have ended up with Korean lead poisoning rather than Donatello :lol:
Yup I've mentioned this in a few threads about horrible vids before, I may have even mentioned it in this thread. I mentioned the movie as it's other name though, The Unknown Story is also known as Bunman.
I was going to download Cannibal Holocaust but i was warned that the animal deaths were real, so i didn't bother.
I may download Zombie Holocaust at some point.

yeah they were shit, but i think they were only a pound each.
i always got janked like then when i was a kid, instead of transformers it was go bots, instead of madballs i got a tennis ball with a frowny face drawn on.
i remember one birthday, i asked for a mask toy, it was a jeep with a boat inside that would come out. apparetnly they looked everywhere for it and didn't find it, so what i got instead was a trike thing that went around in circles when you pressed a button. it was bigger than all my toys so and had a rider glued to it.
and was the worse one ever was asking for a C64 and getting a friggin speccy. now i have to hang around with you lot the rest of my life. gahhhhh :p
Yup... Deodato, Lenzi, Fulci, Romero, Argento, the list of great Italian horror directors goes on and on.
If that's George Romero then he's not Italian, he's American :p

Yet the director did go onto bigger things; mainly Lord of the Rings and Kong to name a few....
I think that was his point!
Ha ha ! +1
Loved it! :) thanks for sharing.
My favorite part is the casual cutting off of the hand.
oh, i already wrote it.
Found in one search on a site I use for watching movies (not just horror, either):-P
So I'm looking forward to that at somepoint this week :D
I remember those days! My dad got a few new releases (at the time called pirate copies) of films on VHS and the quality was variable.
I have a copy of Cannibal Holocaust like that. It's not even an uncut version either, but the old GO Video release (missing about 5 minutes of footage).

was there years ago and remember some pirate goods on display in shops,probably nobody in law cared because cypr weren't in the EU back then...

They are,bloody disgusting....
Unfortunately, a lot of those old Italian horror films contain real animal deaths. It's a great film though, one of the best horror films I've seen.
