100 Tears is a 2007 USA horror by Marcus Koch.
Starring Georgia Chris, Joe Davison and Raine Brown.
Exists in an Original Version and an Extended Director's Cut. Never released in the UK.
Summary Notes After being accused of crimes he did not commit, a lonely circus performer
exacts his revenge on those who unjustly condemned him. The act sparks something inside of him which he cannot stop and now, years later, his inner-demons have truly surfaced. Part urban legend, part tabloid sensationalism... he is now an unstoppable
murderous juggernaut, fueled only by hate. This film stands out for having one of the most entertaining and brutal opening 15 minutes. It is a montage of gruesome killing and the audience gets to see every gory moment; there
is no fast cutting away at the crucial moment. The only downside to having such a cool beginning is that the film shows its hand early which means suspense goes out of the window as the viewer is desensitised from this
point in. The film then has to keep feeding visual candy in the form of gore. It succeeds well; this film must have one of the highest body counts for a slasher movie

Philosophy of a Knife is a 2008 Russia/USA horror drama by Andrey Iskanov.
With Tetsuro Sakagami, Tomoya Okamoto and Yukari Fujimoto.
Never released in the UK.
Summary Notes
The true history of Japanese Unit 731, from its beginnings in the 1930s to its demise in 1945, and the subsequent trials in Khabarovsk, USSR, of many of the Japanese doctors from Unit 731. The facts are told, and
previously unknown evidence is revealed by an eyewitness to these events, former doctor and military translator, Anatoly Protasov. Part documentary and part feature, the story is shown from the perspective of a young Japanese nurse who witnessed many of
horrors, and a young Japanese officer who is torn between his sincere convictions that he is serving the greater purpose, and the deep sympathy he feels for an imprisoned Russian girl. His life is a living hell as he's compelled to carry out atrocious
experiments on the other prisoners, using them as guinea pigs in this shocking tale of mankind's barbarity. "Philosophy of a Knife" is truly one of the most violent, brutal and harrowing movies ever made.

Unearthed Films will release the Extended Director's Cut in

Summary Notes Premutos is the first of the fallen
Angels, even before Lucifer. His Goal is to rule the world, the living and the dead This is something along the lines of a Braindead gore fest. It is an early low budget work by Olaf Ittenback. If not taken too seriously this seems to a popular

2001 US drama by Peter N Alexander See
full article from MND The Profit , a 2001 film, was blocked from distribution in the United States due to a court injunction won by the Church of Scientology.
Directed by former film executive Peter N. Alexander, movie critics have characterized
The Profit as a parody of Scientology and of its founder L. Ron Hubbard. Alexander was a Scientologist for twenty years, and left the organization in 1997. The film was funded by Bob Minton, a former critic of Scientology who later signed an
agreement with the Church of Scientology and has attempted to stop distribution of the film. The film was released in August 2001, and was shown at a movie theater in Clearwater, Florida and at a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France. A
Scientology spokesman gave a statement at the time saying the movie is fiction and has nothing to do with Scientology. The Church of Scientology later took legal action in an attempt to stop further distribution of the film. The Church of
Scientology claimed that the film was intended to influence the jury pool in the wrongful death case of Scientologist Lisa McPherson, who died under Scientology care in Clearwater, Florida.
In April 2002, a Pinellas County, Florida judge issued a
court order enjoining The Profit from worldwide distribution for an indefinite period. According to the original court injunction received by Wikinews, the movie was originally banned because the court found that it could be seen as a parody of
Scientology and so influence potential jurors.
Luke Lirot, the attorney for the film's production company, announced on the film's website on April 7, 2007 that We have absolutely no exposure for any repercussions from the court order, but
that the film was still blocked from distribution due to an ongoing legal battle. Lirot wrote: all that's stopping the release of the movie is the legal battle with the partner who was compromised by Scientology (Robert Minton) and is currently using
his power as partner to stop the release of the film. Availability Unauthorised release available via file sharing |

San saam long ji foon cheung tiu foo is a 2000 Hong Kong crime film by Shu-Pui Hou.
With Ming Kwan Chan, Mark Cheng and Siu Wai Cheung.
Summary Review: Bad Morality All the
exploitative sex and gore expected from a Cat III flick (assorted rape, scalping, necrophilia, bone breaking and eye popping), but director Shu-Pui Hou takes the bad taste in his movie one step further than most: where bad guys in this genre tend to be
pure evil incarnate, this one asks the audience to sympathise with and perhaps even try to understand the film's three murderous degenerates. By displaying this dubious sense of morality, director Shu-Pui Hou has created something that seems even more
immoral than your standard Cat III deviancy.

1994 Hong Kong horror by Hin Sing 'Billy' Tang Summary Review: Brutal First of all, let me tell you, this is NOT a date movie. This is the most brutal graphic rape movie I have ever seen, and also one that lingers in
your mind long after it is over. For me, that's exactly what I want when I see a movie, one that leaves a lasting impression no matter how difficult the impression might be. I loved this movie, because it is very very well
made, and the acting performances are incredible. Yes, the rapes are unforgiving in every respect, and the misery throughout the film is almost difficult to watch at times. This is not a gory movie, except for the last ten
minutes, it is a very disturbing movie and it does have a fair amount of nudity, however it really needs to. The Untold Story and Ebola Syndrome offset much of the carnage with humor, but Red to Kill has absolutely NOTHING to smile about. It is totally and brutally serious from the first frame to the extremely nasty ending.
The actor who plays the rapist is absolutely sensational, and I might add, the musical score is perfect. The music adds so much to the all ready existing tension from all the horrific acts. The actress who plays the
retarded girl is also amazing, one of the best performances on film you will ever see. Availability Current UK Status: No UK release The uncut region 0 DVD is available via

2010 Canada/US horror video by Lucifer Valentine. Part 2 of the Vomit Gore
Trilogy Summary Review : Sick Stuff! Morbid Director Lucifer Valentine ups the evil ante from his first twisted, mind-numbing cinematic display of unconscionable filth. This starts right where Slaughtered Vomit Dolls
left off. Prepare to have your senses shredded. Bulimic porn star Angela Aberdeen drowned herself in the tub, and now her soul goes spiraling through a demented dimension toward hell. She gets the nightmarish tour
guide by two demonic twin sisters, who are conjoined at the head. They are separated in extremely grisly fashion, and we get the barf-inducing delight of seeing some gruesome bubbling brain and blood splatter. Sick stuff! Some impressive special effects,
I must say. This horrendous journey is very surreal, as we are subjected to more heinous acts of violence and depravity. It might actually be filmed on location in Hell, or somewhere close. There is plenty of full frontal
nudity to go with the overload of bloody intestinal shock treatment. Not for the quasi-gorehound. This might have received a 5 star rating from me, except this has too damn many vomitting shots. I know it's the Vomit Gore
Trilogy, but c'mon! After the first dozen episodes of regurgitating grossness, it starts to lose its charm. Lucifer knows absolutely no mercy. Availability Current UK Status: No UK release

1986 Japan bondage erotica by Shûji Kataoka.
With Shirô Shimomoto, Hiromi Saotome and Yutaka Ikejima.
Summary Review: Not so violent...but When the all-girl
gang, The Bombers, kidnap a man to use as their personal sex slave, S&M Hunter accepts the mission to infiltrate The Bombers' hideout and show them the ropes. S&M Hunter has amazing abilities with rope said to make him master of all women.
Less violent than many a Pinku movie, but just as twisted and blessed with a deliciously wicked sense of humour, S&M Hunter is an absolute riot and highly recommended for anyone looking for sleazy Japanese cinema without the
extreme nastiness. That's not to say that S&M Hunter is going to appeal to all: with male and female rape, enemas, gratuitous Nazi imagery, topless arm-wrestling over knives, and excessive nun whipping, this film will still
raise eyebrows amongst those not already de-sensitised to Asian excess. Availability Current UK Status: No UK release US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

1990 French/West German film by Claire Denis Animal cruelty precludes a release of this film in the UK. Electric Pictures did have the UK distribution rights, but apparently were advised

animals were harmed during the making of the film. However, this appears to have made no difference, as the Animals Act covers "distress" as well as actual injury. Availability Shown at the London

An extraordinary pink . Made with lots of style and more than a little nerve. Lots of sexy and vigorous flesh scenes and whilst most of the earlier part of the film is fun and frolics it gets much darker later. By the end
we have had lots of consensual sex, a fair bit that's not, bondage, whipping, a rather unusual and lively penis substitute that gets just about everywhere. And between our heroine's legs something that bites! Availability

See review from dreadcentral.com : This feels like a film that
should have been buried under the weight of 2019 standards, but Severin threw all fucks to the wind to bring slasher fans a heinous piece of work that could easily offend sensitive types. There is literal
blackface
Promotional Material Severin Films presents SKINNER - Uncut. Unrated. Unconscionable. The notorious '90s shocker scanned in 4k for the first time ever!
It's been called
"sleaze-oozing" (Flick Attack), "gut-churning" (The Bedlam Files) and "incredibly tasteless" (Cult Reviews). It featured the most intensely graphic scenes yet by KNB EFX Group (THE WALKING DEAD). Uncut, it remains perhaps
the most disturbing and rarely seen shocker of the '90s.
Ted Raimi (XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS) delivers an unnerving performance as psycho drifter Dennis Skinner who wears flesh-suits he slices from doomed prostitutes, falls for a lonely young
housewife (Ricki Lake of HAIRSPRAY fame), and is himself hunted by a horribly scarred survivor (an equally unhinged performance by Traci Lords). Richard Schiff (THE WEST WING) co-stars in this still-potent sickie from veteran television director and
one-time Heidi Fleiss boyfriend, Ivan Nagy. Now scanned in 4k from the original camera negative and including the complete hooker-flaying sequence. |
2005 US porn horror by David Quitmeyer.
Mike loves porn. Unfortunately he is blinded by his addiction to XXX entertainment
as it slowly eats away at every aspect of his life... The film features port hardcore porn and strong violence. A combination that has got no chance of a BBFC approved release in the UK. Bearing in mind the Dangerous Pictures Act this may not be a
wise purchase for people in Britain. Hopefully the violence is not really realistic enough to be a problem but you can never be quite sure. Summary Review: Good and Bad So, as it is porn, how do the sex scenes hold up? Good
and bad all at the same time. The lone girl involved in most all the scenes is attractive and more than willing perform, the sex itself is fully explicit, and the scenes are given a low-rent kind of artistic flair than makes then more watchable than
standard skin flicks. But, where as most erotic flicks of this nature conclude with a sweaty embrace and a fade out, this instead treats viewers to some graphic/bloody violence of an explicitly sexual nature. It's hard to maintain
a cheap arousal when some one is getting their head beat in with a hammer. Availability Current UK Status: No UK release |

Part 1 of the Vomit Gore Trilogy Promotional Material What happens to a woman when she is abused by her parents, becomes a runaway at the tender age of 14, is molested by a local priest who takes her in and is
then used and abused by nearly everyone she comes into contact with? For Angela Aberdeen the answer is to turn away from the human race and all earthly reality by making a sacred pact with Satan. After enlisting his
protection in return for her eternal soul, her first act is to burn down the priest s church as he lays passed out drunk on the floor. She then flees to the city where she develops a horrible addiction to alcohol and drugs. Angela quickly spirals
downward in her journal to Hell. Stripping turns to pornography and prostitution and as her deadly addictions tear her body apart, she realizes that even Satan has seemingly forsaken her. Slaughtered Vomit Dolls is the
opening film of the infamous Vomit Gore Trilogy directed by Lucifer Valentine. We must warn you that the thoroughly evil and outrageous DVD that you hold in your hands contains the answer to a very elemental question. How deranged, demented and depraved
can one person s existence be? Are you willing to push the boundaries in order to find out? Are you confident enough to test the true strength of your grip on reality? You won t believe your eyes... or STOMACH! Includes commentary with director and star

- Star of David: Beautiful Girl Hunter
1979 Japan torture horror by Noribumi Suzuki
With Yuka Asagiri, Yûko Asuka and Shun Domon.
Summary review: The Citizen Kane of Asian sexploitation flicks.
The film begins with the sound of police sirens. The police are looking for an escaped rapist, robber and murderer who we now see as having taken refuge in a huge house. This fugitive has taken a professor and his pretty wife hostage
with the intention of robbing them. While there, this monster of a human being decides to have a little fun by tying up the professor's wife and taking advantage of her sexually while her husband is forced to watch. Norifumi
Sukuzi's tale of a man spawned by rape is an exquisitely perverse and beautiful tale. Gorgeously shot, tightly scripted, and featuring deliciously audacious scenes of depravity, Star of David - Hunting For Beautiful Girls delivers in every way.
If you like these types of films, this is the Citizen Kane of Asian sexploitation flicks. Availability Current UK Status: Never Released US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

2000 Canada underground horror by Karim Hussain.
With Brea Asher, Ivaylo
Founev and Eric Pettigrew.
Summary Review: Twisted Gore Subconscious Cruelty is divided in four segments:
- Ovarian Eyeball - a naked woman is sliced by a sharp blade and an eyeball is removed from her belly.
- Human Larvae - a deranged man kills his sister and her newborn offspring.
- Rebirth - a group of naked people rolls around in mud and blood.
- Right Brain/Martyrdom - religious symbolism associated with gore and sex.
If you like arthouse/underground cinema and you like taboo subject matters drenched in twisted gore then this is the one to purchase. The acting is very strong for this type of flick and the camera techniques throughout are never
short of impressive. It's been scored with an industrial sound which intensifies the stark images of depravity and enhances the tensions within any absorbed viewer. If you don't like arthouse/underground cinema drenched in twisted
gore then don't buy this. Availability Current UK Status: Never Released Denmark: The Scandinavian release is uncut for:

1999 US comedy horror by Lloyd Kaufman Summary Review: Funny Terror Firma is an independent film made by Troma, one of the last (if not THE
last) small time movie companies left in the United States. You should purchase this movie if for no other reason than to support independent film. But once you do buy it, what will you get? An incredibly funny, very violent, and fairly titillating
movie. I was talked into watching this movie by an acquaintance. Never having seen a Troma film, I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it would be a low budget slasher flick with lots of fake blood. I was mostly wrong.
It turned out to be a very funny and interesting satire on the movie industry, movie making, and society in general. (While also being a slasher flick with lots of fake blood.) I haven't laughed as much at a movie in years.
As for the acting, while most of the actors will never utter the words I'd like to thank the Academy, the female lead, Alyce LaTourelle, was simply excellent. I was surprised to see someone with as much talent in a low budget
picture like this one. She is destined for bigger pictures, but not necessarily better ones. If you've read this far, you are probably considering purchasing this movie. Go for it, I'm happy I did. Availability

The Untold Story is a 1993 Hong Kong crime comedy horror by Danny Lee and Herman Yau.
Starring Anthony Chau-Sang Wong, Danny Lee and Emily Kwan.
Originally cut in Hong Kong for a Category III rating. An example
of extreme cinema that did not make it to the UK.
Summary Review: Unpredictable, daring, extreme This story concerns a serial killer posing as a restaurant proprietor who goes into violent
rages and indulges in sadistic acts. For those of you looking for something to disturb you, seek this out. It's not an atypical story by any means, but the murder scenes are pretty grisly. It's not quite all out gore, but
it's pretty disturbing in that you're just not used to this kind of stuff. One guy gets chopped up into dim sum. In another sequence, a family gets hacked to pieces...you ever notice in Hollywood where murdered children
get killed offscreen? Not here. There's also a graphic rape scene involving chopsticks that ain't exactly feminist-friendly. It's rare you see a horror film provoking anything more than laughter nowadays. This one is all
out, gung-ho savagery. What's even weirder is the moments of slapstick that pop-up whenever the cops are in a scene. A strange way to lighten the darker scenes, but, that's Asian cinema for you...unpredictable, daring, extreme and the polar opposite of
Western filmmaking.

Vase de noces is a 1974 Belgium horror romance by Thierry Zéno.
Starring Dominique Garny.
An art-house black and white film without dialogue which was
very controversial in its day. It was programmed for the London Film Festival until Customs seized it. Was screened at the NFT in 1976 as part of their New Belgium Cinema season. The film was twice banned in Australia
in 1975 and 1976. Summary Review: Demented Farmer A mad farmer falls in love with his pig and has mutant piglets with it. When the piglets prefer their mother over him, he hangs them all and
the sow kills herself. Can you think of anything more interesting than seeing a demented farmer walk around his farm for 80 minutes, occasionally playing dress-up with his birds, beheading his chickens, and having steamy sex with
his wife, who happens to be a pig? I know I can. Unfortunately, everything negative that has been said about this movie is true: it moves at a snail's pace, it's uninteresting, very disgusting, and ultimately not worth seeing.

Promotional Material In 1980s Germany, horror film censorship was a huge problem. The government rarely let classic horror films pass without severe cuts when they were released on home video. To
combat this unfortunate situation many German horror fans scraped together a few bucks, rented video cameras & created their own ultra-violent, gory, splatter films. Arguably the most famous of these micro-budget German gorefests are the VIOLENT
SHIT films from director Andreas Schnaas. Shot on standard definition video cameras, these films are a sight to behold. Although they are amateurishly made, choppily edited & loaded with ridiculous low-budget gore, these films have an undeniably
offensive charm that has kept horror fans entertained for over 25 years! And none of them were released in Britain. Availability US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

1984 Italy ecology horror by Franco Prosperi.
With Lorraine De Selle, John Aldrich and Ugo Bologna.
Summary Review: Animal Cruelty The water supply for a
large city zoo becomes contaminated with PCP, and the animals go crazy and get loose. While the violence committed against the cast members is obviously staged, the animals are spared no such reprieve, many of them slaughtered in
shameless exploitation, a grossly damning indictment on the trend in Italian horror movies of that era. The film itself isn't without interest and should appeal to anyone with a penchant for the eco-horror genre. Availability
Current UK Status: Never released |
Zombiechrist is a 2010 USA horror by Bill Zebub.
With Jessica Alexandra Green, Jordana Leigh and Taylor Trash.
Summary Review: Mummified Cruelty Druids resurrect the
partially mummified remains of Jesus. They force the zombified Christ to commit unspeakable acts as their sect prepares to rule a new age of mankind. The film proclaims the tag line: The Most Blasphemous Story Ever Told. However, it is nowhere near good enough to justify any serious controversy. It is unlikely that distributors will bother pick it up in the UK.
There are a few reviewers that have enjoyed the film but only on the basis that it is enjoyably bad. Availability Current UK Status: Never released US: Uncut and MPAA
