1 Attachment(s) Attachment 72321 This one is both good and bad. Im not overly keen on Tina having telekinesis i know they were trying to bring something new to the series but it just didnt sit well with me. I know i should not be looking too much into it when its a series about a guy that no matter what happens he wont die but i just dont like that in the film. Everything else is great its got Jason the woods lots of kills and naked women so cant complain too much :). |

Sotto il vestito niente/Nothing Underneath - 1985 Italy d: Carlo Vanzina Really enjoyable late era giallo which despite being preposterously in hock to the style and structure of Argento's gialli survives being just a rip-off. The cast are chosen more for looks than talent, but as it's about the 80s cocaine'n'cash fashion world, this works just fine. Donald Pleasence gives a nice energetic turn as local Police Commissioner complete with absurd attempt at an Italian accent. The cinematography and camera work is the real star. The film looks amazing and some of the choreography of the camera really does evoke Argento's finest moments (DP: Giuseppe Maccari). There's a decent lush score from Pino Dinaggio that is a throwback to thrillers of the 70s too. The AWE DVD is a wonderful transfer, with the caveat that it does not look correctly framed at 1.78:1. I suspect that 1.66:1 or, more likely, 1.33:1 was intended. I reckon that home for this film was envisioned as VHS not the cinema. Lots of cramped shots with information missing top and bottom. Anamorphic widescreen is not always the correct way to go. But still a decent release of a fine film that I really liked. Luckily it turned out I remembered hardly anything of this film, so it was like seeing a new film, aside from a few of the more striking set pieces which I did recall. |

As for similar films, you could try Untold Story 2 or the other notorious cat. III film that springs to mind - Dr. Lamb. Haven't seen either of these but been meaning to track down a cheap enough copy of Dr. Lamb for years and never gotten around to it. |

Thanks im sure ive got dr lamb somewhere i bought of someone from here quite a while back. I have to try seek out Deadly camp i like to find obscure and extreme films now and again by extreme i mean more titles like these cat III or hong kong japanese films and not msp or Grotesque not my secene they have no redeeming value apart from the shock value and nothing else and yes they do as well but if thats all a film got to offer then doesnt interest me films like these can do without. |

I got the DVD from Poundland and was extremely impressed. So much so I think I may upgrade to the Blu! In fact, I think I will do that now! |
