Part of this is undoubtedly down to the rise of home entertainment as, a few years ago, my mum went down to the Midlands to spend time with her sister and family. Whilst there, she took my cousin, who would have been about 14, to the cinema and, noticing he was fidgeting and not really paying much attention throughout the film – one he really wanted to see – asked why. His response was quite telling: "We'll buy it on DVD when it's out, so I can watch it again then."

When I used to go as a child, it was a case of watching it at the cinema or not at all, rather than watching it at the cinema and then having the DVD/BD a few months later, so it's a whole cultural shift due to the ever expanding home entertainment market.

Too right! Madness incarnate.

EDGE OF SANITY - Jekyll and Hyde get a sexed up revamp, this time spliced in with a J.T Ripper narrative. It's a pretty obvious concoction, but when it tears free of its period dramatics and bursts into K Russell / D Argento stylistics, it works well. As always, Anthony Perkins is a mad genius and twitches along quite nicley here, esp. as sleazy Mr Hyde. Goodish late eighties horror, slightly overlooked.
THE DEADLY SPAWN - I never used to like this film at all, but had a pretty glowing time of it this afternoon. Actually, the reason I always thought it was shite was because the old VHS cover scared me senseless for some reason when I was a kid, and from that point on I was expecting it to be some kind of apex of transgressive horror. It isn't that, but it IS the diametric opposite of latter day focus group oriented multiplex bound Hollywood style oppression - a movie that celebrates the triumph of imagination, enthusiasm and arguable technical incompetence over the slick bastards. Come to think of it, this film pretty much sums up why I'm into movies. And god, it's so wonky - the pace and the tone shift all the time... warm hearted creature feature homage one moment, nihilistic gore fest the next. The giant toothy bell-end monsters are really good considering the obviously low, low budget.
ADAM CHAPLIN - In yer face Italo gore fest set in a blue tinted future full of freaks - my kinda movie. Shame about the title, but if this is the shape of Italian horror to come, then I'm totally on board.
Just watching INTRUDER... pretty good after all these years, might invest in the Synapse version.

August Underground Trilogy

I watched all 3 of these movies today after hearing so much about them. I dont know how i feel after seeing these movies maybe im a little too fresh after watching them. The gore effects looked great so realistic the way it was shot added to the realism also. There were a couple of parts that will stick with me for a while over the whole trilogy im not gonna go into those right now. I only got a loan of them not sure i would want them in my collection as i dont feel there is much re watch value in them. Like i said i heard so much about them i just wanted to see what the fuss was about.

While looking these up i came across an other trilogy called Vomit Gore Trilogy. Does anyone know anything about these or seen them?

Yeah, I didn't see much re-watch value in them either, so sold my copies off last year.

These films focus more on sex and surrealism and are the brainchild of Lucifer Valentine and his pet project Ameara LaVey, who is basically a anorexic whore.

Branded as 'vomit-porn', it's pretty harsh stuff.
