The Burning

Pazuzu Iscariot — Thu, 19 Feb 2015 00:00:00 GMT

The Burning is a slasher movie from 1981 that managed to get itself banished to the video nasty list. It fortified the genre but, unfortunately, didn't have the impact it should have for a number of reasons. It is often compared to Friday the 13th and quite rightly so; a group of hormonally charged teenagers at summer camp get stalked by a disfigur...

Don't Go Near the Park

Pazuzu Iscariot — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Despite being an awful film, Don't Go Near the Park is an important movie for horror geeks of a certain age. It made it to the video nasty list which gave numerous horror movies that deserved to vanish into obscurity a cult status. The list has also increased recent demand for a lot of low quality shit which is the only reason this movie is likely ...

The Incredible Melting Man

Pazuzu Iscariot — Sat, 17 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Some movies are so bad they are bad, some are so bad they are good and The Incredible Melting Man is so bad it's amazing. The film is a prime example of producers interfering in a filmmakers vision and, while the interference has a negative effect on the intended end product, it endows the final movie with something truly quirky and unique. It was ...

Small Town Folk

Pazuzu Iscariot — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Small Town Folk is an odd mixture of styles which shouldn't work and, well... it doesn't really. The ambience is befitting of a made for TV mini-series for all the family, probably shown around supper time in the build up towards Christmas and probably featuring wizards, goblins, annoying know-it-all tweenies and wardrobes or something. This nausea...

The Child

Harry Novak is best known for his prolific production and distribution of softcore exploitation cinema with titles as amazing as The Secret Sex Lives of Romeo and Juliet, The Exotic Dreams of Casanova and The Dirty Mind of Young Sally. He is also responsible for exposing the world to a few gems in the horror genre, most notably Axe and The Child.Th...

Rubber

Pazuzu Iscariot — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

It is difficult to form a solid opinion on a movie as bizarre as Rubber. A film in which the main focus is a sentient psychic tyre with an evil streak and a penchant for shattering human skulls. The basis for the film is that things in films happen for "no reason". The movie more than acknowledges the irony in this premise and continually rubs its ...

The Unborn

Pazuzu Iscariot — Sat, 22 Nov 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Back in the early nineties when things were swell, Roger Corman presented The Unborn. A film more suited to the late seventies with regards to style and that has no relation to the PG-13 movie from 2009 apart from the exact same title and a similar plot. The retro feel that plays a heavy part in the movies that Corman produces is apparent here and ...

Stoic

Pazuzu Iscariot — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 00:00:00 GMT

In the movie world, Uwe Boll is infamous for two things: video-game adaptations and bad taste adaptations of atrocities. Stoic fits into the latter category. Based on an incident that took place in Sieberg Prison (Germany) in 2006 this film blurs the boundaries of what could be classed as entertainment with a test of endurance to cope with 91 minut...

You're Next

Pazuzu Iscariot — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:00:00 GMT

As humanity's need to make sense of the world by categorising everything to the utmost degree grows stronger the mumblegore genre has been given life. Mumblecore describes a low budget brand of independent film with an emphasis on natural dialogue, throw in some horror and some cunning rhyming skills and the further refinement of mumblegore becomes...

Thanatomorphose

Pazuzu Iscariot — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Often the first indication that there might be something arty about a film is that the lead character is an artist and that the film is split into acts. Canadian film Thanatomorphose is a film about a sculptress suffering from body rot and is split into the acts "Despair", "Another" and "Oneself". It is a repugnant celebration of putrescence and b...
