Well Beast in heat is both stupid and repellent. I think some are not as outright vile as they look but the problem is getting them on the shelves, I think a lot of places would have difficulty stocking them, especially if the Daily mail take notice and decide to kick up a fuss.
Personally I do think there is a little bit of hypocrisy over these films. SALO gets lots of adoration from critics but is essentially a 'classier' take on the same kind of subject. Personally very few of them are my cup of tea. I sort of enjoyed Illsa but I never really cared for the genre. I have one of the shriek show 3-disc sets lying about somewhere so I may give them another go.
