Summary Review: Ultra violent

100 Tears

100 Tears is a 2007 USA horror by Marcus Koch.
Starring Georgia Chris, Joe Davison and Raine Brown. Melon Farmers link  YouTube icon  IMDb

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

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.

Playground

  • Plac zabaw

Playground is a 2016 Poland thriller by Bartosz M Kowalski.
Starring Michalina Swistun and Nicolas Przygoda and Przemyslaw Balinski. IMDb

Thanks to Mike:

A film about childhood bullying based on the murder of James Bulger (although the character names are changed). The last 10 minutes shows two boys killing another one in long shot, based on the events which happened in the real case. It's effectively self-banned because no UK distributor would want the potential controversy of releasing it.

Summary Notes

Final day of school in a small Polish town. It's the very last chance for a 12 year old Gabrysia to tell her classmate that she had fallen in love with him. She sets up a secret meeting and blackmails the boy to show up. But what was supposed to be an intimate talk spins out of control and leads to an unexpected ending.

On his (earthly) father's birthday, a case containing some strange old book and a yellow potion is found in their garden, which was hidden by some peasant in 1943, who experimented with witchery in order to re-animate his deceased wife. Whe the young man gets in touch with the book and some of the yellow potion, he mutates into a monster and awakens an army of zombies, ready to bring back the fallen Angel Premutos and to disturb the little birthday party...

The Profit

Link Here

The Profit is a 2001 US drama by Peter N. Alexander
Starring Eric Rath, Cliff Roca and Tom Luce Melon Farmers link  IMDb

Withdrawn in fear of legal action from the Church of Scientology.

Summary Notes

This period piece is a fictional biography of a cult leader's rise to power and his subsequent descent into isolation and paranoia.

Belief in bullying

The Profit 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.

Never released in the UK.

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.

Red to Kill

  • Yeuk saat
Red to Kill is a 1994 Hong Kong horror by Billy Hin-Shing Tang

Never released in the UK.

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.

Never released in the UK

Summary Review : Sick Stuff!

Part 2 of the Vomit Gore Trilogy

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.

S&M Hunter
  • Kinbaku · SM · 18-sai
S&M Hunter is a 1986 Japan bondage erotica by Shûji Kataoka.
With Shirô Shimomoto, Hiromi Saotome and Yutaka Ikejima. IMDb

Never released in the UK

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.

  • No Fear, No Die
S'en fout la mort is a 1990 France/West Germany drama by Claire Denis
Starring Isaach De Bankolé, Alex Descas and Solveig Dommartin IMDb

Animal cruelty precludes a release of this film in the UK.

Electric Pictures did have the UK distribution rights, but apparently were advised that it would require huge cuts, so they didn't release it.

The cockfighting scenes in this film were faked (or example, the blades on legs were plastic rather than metal) and the final credits begin with a notice saying that no 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.

The film was s hown at the London Film Festival

Slaughter Disc is a 2005 US adult horror by David Kwitmire
Starring Robert Williams, Jewels MacKenzie and Kristen Quitmeyer IMDb

The film features part hardcore porn and strong violence. A combination that has got no chance of a BBFC approved release in the UK.

Summary Notes

Mike loves porn. Unfortunately he is blinded by his addiction to XXX entertainment as it slowly eats away at every aspect of his life. One day a mysterious DVD arrives in the mail and Mike quickly begins to realize there is a much darker side to the world of adult entertainment. ...

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.

Part 1 of the Vomit Gore Trilogy

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?

Summary Review: Heinous

Part 3 of the Vomit Gore Trilogy

Following the same suit as the previous, this film revolves around bulimic hookers who have devoted their lives to Satan. This film as expected will make the viewers uneasy in their own skin and a confession post viewing might also be in order! Prepare to witness acts so heinous and sacrilegious you might possibly not even make it through the entirety of this film.

I am surprised a bolt of lightning did not strike me down from above, no joke. Caution to future viewers: The content of this film is extreme, Lucifer pulls no punches and goes straight for the throat with this one. This film is dark, nauseating, cruel, sickening, loaded with sex, nudity, body fluids, gore and very, very entertaining! If this sounds like your genre prepare to be astonished!

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.

Subconscious Cruelty is a 2000 Canada underground horror by Karim Hussain.
With Brea Asher, Ivaylo Founev and Eric Pettigrew. Melon Farmers link  IMDb

Never released in the UK.

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.

Never released in the UK. In the US there is a heavily cut MPAA R rated version and an uncut MPAA Unrated Director's Cut.

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.

  • Pledge of Allegiance
2009 US thriller by Eric Forsberg. YouTube icon IMDb

A very highly regarded film involving mental and physical torture that somehow never made it to the UK.

Summary Review: The Good Guys

A young American woman is kidnapped by security forces because her boyfriend is from the middle east. We see this woman tortured, questioned, tortured and it's not very nice.

This is a pretty good film drama, well acted, very disturbing, unsettling, unpleasant, shocking and believable. The performance of Lena Bookall in particular stands out.

Seeing a film where the good guys are committing the torture is unusual. However, Torture Room is extreme and not for the faint hearted.

1994-2000 US documentary series

Traces of Death 1 was banned by the BBFC in 2005, and if anything, the next films in the series are even more extreme and stand no chance at the BBFC.

Summary Review: Gross

Archive footage of human and animal death has been assembled into a supposed documentary. However there is very little explanation of what is going and all that remains is a collage of nastiness. All this is accompanied by death metal music and a jokey narrator.

  • Jitsuroku onna kanbetsusho: sei-jigoku
  • Sex Hell
1975 Japanese film by Kôyû Ohara.
With Hitomi Kozue, Meika Seri and Maya Hiromi. IMDb

Promotional Material:

A group of young women is thrown into a horrible juvenile hall, due to their illegal acts. They soon wish they were back on the outside, as a gang of inmates subjects this fresh meat to the horrors of being locked up. Mayumi, a new inmate with a mysterious past, stands up for herself and fights back! NO ONE is going to push her around, and she hatches an escape plan to seek revenge on the person who had her incarcerated.

TRUE STORY OF A WOMAN IN JAIL: SEX HELL is a sleazy, sexually graphic and surprisingly violent entry in the women in prison genre. The opening uniform changing, nude medical examination sessions, communal scrubbings in the bathhouse, nimble-fingered lesbians and vicious catfights are all here... and more!

Tumbling Doll of Flesh

Tumbling Doll of Flesh is a 1998 Japan horror by Tamakichi Anaru
Starring Kanako Ooba, Kikurin and Tamakichi Anaru IMDb

Never released in the UK.

Summary Notes

Kana tries to end her starring role in an abusive porno. For her, the end comes only after she's been reduced to a "Tumbling Doll of Flesh".

Thanks to Mike:

Japanese hardcore porn film (although sexual organs are pixellated in accordance with Japanese law) which degenerates into a splatterfest at the halfway mark, complete with evisceration, chopping off of limbs, penetration of stomach wounds and other atrocities. The BBFC wouldn't have much hesitation in rejecting it.

  • Chô-inran: Shimai donburi
1998 Japan sex and horror by Yutaka Ikejima
Yumi Yoshiyuki, Kanae Mizuhara and Reina Azuma. IMDb

Summary Review: Hot and violent

A pale-looking man, Kazuhiko, is being questioned by the police following the extremely bloody murder of a young woman. His story revolves round two sisters, Akiko and Mayuko, who moved into the house across from his.

The film features really intense incestuous lesbian strap-on fucking, bloody naked corpses, brutally hot and violent fuck scenes.

  • 1,2,3, Sun
1993 French film by Bertrand Blier

The only recent Blier film not to get distribution in the UK. Apparently a distributor was interested but was informally advised by the BBFC not to bother. (Unconfirmed)

The contentious material is in the final scene, which features several shots of a topless Anouk Grinberg in bed with several children, two of whom have their hands resting on her breasts. Since these shots go on for some time and include a fair amount of dialogue, they couldn't be cut. It isn't a sexual scene, but nevertheless the BBFC suggested it may fall foul of the Child Protection Act (unconfirmed)

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. Melon Farmers link IMDb

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.

  • One Man and His Pig
  • The Pig Fucking Movie
  • Wedding Trough
  • Svinet
Vase de noces is a 1974 Belgium horror romance by Thierry Zéno.
Starring Dominique Garny. IMDb
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.

  • Belve feroci
1984 Italy ecology horror by Franco Prosperi.
With Lorraine De Selle, John Aldrich and Ugo Bologna. IMDb

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.

  • Zombie Christ
Zombiechrist is a 2010 USA horror by Bill Zebub.
With Jessica Alexandra Green, Jordana Leigh and Taylor Trash. YouTube icon IMDb

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.
