I have quite a few troma discs myself,although class of nuke em high and terror firmer are probably my faves.not forgetting old toxie.

Demented death farm massacre....:ack:

Artwork and extras are more entertaining though.....;)

I just picked up from a chartiy shop:

Obssesion - ABUK
The Vampire Lovers - ILC

Gold6082 17th July 2009 10:00 AM

RE:nightmare Hostel Not only is it a big pile of steamy crap to be avoided at all costs, it Also goes under 2 other names so avoid them too Dr Rage & Expierimental Madness.

I also have the open matte ILC release of this Hammer gem & the uncut Optimum disc (the ILC version is Just missing some fleeting Pitt nudity).Bargain there Loops as the ILC version was pretty pricey at one point.Never seen DePalma's Obsession surprisingly.

Agreed .Same goes for Hillside Cannibals,though for a couple of quid Gag,there worth a look.

A lot of the old ILC disc are quite pricey. I only paid 99p for both of them.

BioZombie 17th July 2009 11:39 AM

I went to CEX the other day picked up

The Hills Have Eyes The 2 disc anchor bay with carboard slipcase for £1!
The Brood 2 Disc Anchorbay
Rabid
Tokyo Zombie Anthother edition to my (painfully slowly) growning Asian zombie film selection.

iluvdvds@Cult Labs 17th July 2009 11:58 AM

All 4 of those films are excellent BZ! Nice picking! Tokyo Zombie is hillarious!

MOTEL HELL as well uncut with the brief chainsaw gruesomeness intact.

TALL DUDE 17th July 2009 01:25 PM

Well after much deliberation,i've took the plunge and ordered august undergrounds mordum from amazon marketplace.
After hearing arguements for and against this flick,its about time i checked it out for myself.
£12 Plus p+p,and its the limited snuff edition,signed by cast and crew apparently.

Hmm...

iluvdvds@Cult Labs 17th July 2009 04:06 PM

Oooh, tell us what you think of it when you say it TD, wont you.

Brace yourself TD :D - It's probably one of the sickest movies I've ever seen...! :ack: Have you seen the first AU?

TALL DUDE 17th July 2009 05:48 PM

I aint seen any of them,but as usual curiosity has got the better of me.

A lot of people have said there trash,whilst others have said they are brutal beyond belief and very shocking,so its about time i found out for meself,and it was relatively cheap,considering penance was selling for 40 nicker!!:ack:

Will do mate. What did you think of public enemies? I thought it was pretty damn good and even though it was on for 2 and a half hours it certainly didnt seem it. Depp was good too,prefered him in this to his jack sparra incarnation,which i just couldnt get on with at all.

id be careful of that order it seems very unlikely that its an original!

the snuff edition goes for about £40 normally as there are only 1000 of them the other day i paid £60 for the snuff edition of the first AU

if it is as it says then you've made a great buy and if you dont like it you could sell it for £40 easy!!

All three are shot in an amateur way, and don't really have storylines to speak of just scenes of torture, violence, murder, sex and degradation brought about by two guys, who think everything they do is fun - don't get me wrong I think they're worth seeing for any horror fan, as they certainly raise the bar! Mordum is the sickest of the three - I just about managed to get through it in one sitting.

If the violence appeals, but you're looking for more of a story rather than 'footage' try Vogel's Redsin Tower, still pretty extreme but without the amateur snuff element - still low budget though.

Penance was selling for £40?! :ack: Regular or Snuff? I picked the regular version up for about £15 off eBay a few years ago, but you can get all the AU films direct from the Toetag site.

£60!!! Shit, you must really love those movies! :ack::D

I think the AU films are important milestones in the horror time-line, but not worthy of £60! :p

btw bitchslicer, have you seen Vogel's new Murder Collection Vol. 1?

have you seen there new one called murder collection v1?

yeah penance goes for £40 snuff edition and mordum goes for £40 snuff edition, im not sure how much regular copies go for

Kyle 17th July 2009 06:47 PM

sorry i just messed up reading the posts

Wow! Weird, we asked each other the same question there! ;)

I came across MC by accident and decided to buy it from the Toetag site, cost me about £12 inc. postage. I've only seen it once and I didn't like it, much. I'll have to watch it again to see if it has grown on me. Knowing these things sell well I actually bought two copies, and sold the other one on eBay for £25 - £13 profit, which paid for my copy! :D:woot::ack: Due to them being banned over here, people tend to like buying them from UK sellers... also I had it on for a 7 day listing and it sold within 3 hours! :eek:

yeah im a bit like that, so yours obviously arrived ok i might try it then! i would like a proper copy of it!

so you're into underground stuff then?

any favs

Ah, I'm into all kinds of stuff, me. :D

I've been aching to sample 'Gateway Meat', but have not seen that yet.

A couple of indy faves of mine are: Malatesta's Carnival of Blood, which I have yet to get a proper release of and which stars Hervé Villechaize (Nick Nack in the Man with the Golden Gun!) and scondly Incarnation, which is a collection of short films distributed by Cinema Abbatoir, when it arrived the DVD came wrapped in butcher's paper tied with string, which was a nice touch.

I am also a fan of German Director Andreas Bethmann, who directed the likes of the Exitus Interruptus films as well as Rossa Venezia, and the Vegetarierinnen films. All comprise a mix of sadistic torture, gore, and softcore pornography (the latter film being mainly porn!) - so are right up my street ;):rofl:

Another fairly underground Director you may have heard of is Timo Rose, who helped spawn the career of Olaf Ittenbach; Ittenbach used to do the gore effects in Rose's movies before he started his own films. Rose's highlights include Barricade and Space Wolf, but his films are pretty bare bones budget wise, he tends to re-use the same cast for his movies and it does tend to look like a group of mates messing about sometimes.

The R1 Unearthed label has some good underground titles such as Bone Sickness, Red Room, and Iskanov's films (Nails, Visions of Suffering and Philosophy of a Knife) as well as some German splatter such as Hunting Creatures and Das Komabrutale Duell (which is nasty and includes a foetus kicking scene :ack:)

Synapse films have some good indy horror's on their label too. Home Sick, Header, and Nail Gun Massacre are a few I would recommend.

There's a lot more out there, it's just knowing where to look sometimes! :):D

Cheers for the suggestions, there are a few there I haven't heard of. :)

I've seen (and own): Dard Divorce (good on the gore, shit on story) Murder Set Pieces (The new Maniac - but nowhere near as good, tries too hard to shock IMO :() Splatter: Naked Blood (****ing crazy stuff!) Subconscious Cruelty (can't believe I forgot Karim Hussain! :mad: Have you seen Ascension? Most people hated it but I enjoyed it), Thriller: A Cruel Picture (enjoyed this, but it did drag abit IMO).

Black Past is another Ittenbach, but I'm pretty sure that it hasn't received an English friendly uncut version yet (?). I've also seen Beyond the Limits, Garden of Love, House of Blood, Legion of the Dead and Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead from Ittenbach: the stand-out being Beyond the Limits. Legion of the Dead is terrible, though. Also while we're on the German's again check out Jorg Buttgereit's work... aside from the Nekromantik's he has directed two great little films: Der Todesking and Schramm.

I'll have to look into some of those, a few Japanese titles there that might interest me... while we're on the Japanese, one of the weirdest (and hardest films to watch all the way through without turning off in bewildered frustration) is 964 Pinocchio - recommended if your feeling brave! :D

The Reaper Man@Cult Labs 17th July 2009 09:07 PM

I'll have to disagree there TD. To be honest, I felt it sagged in the middle a bit - and was a bit boring at times - but towards the end it began to pick up. It was really good but, IMO, really overrated.

iluvdvds@Cult Labs 18th July 2009 12:49 PM

Thriller: A Cruel Picture is one of my fav films BS! Nice choice!

ive got 964 Pinocchio but i havnt watched it yet the same for Der Todesking and Schramm, i have a few of Ittenbachs stuff that you mentioned some ive seen but some ive not got round to yet.

ive got so many films on my shelves and on my pc that i havnt seen , i keep saying i wont get any more until ive seen the ones ive got but it never works out like that.

Brace yourself when you watch 964 Pinocchio - forget beers, you'll need some hard liquor on stand by to get through it! :D

I too have a lot of unwatched stuff, and I am slowly getting through it all, but it is never ending as I am always buying more! :D

Hellevator is a really good film IMO, I enjoyed Suicide Club and Evil Dead Trap too. Uzumaki was alright, but not as good as it was hyped up to be.

Make Them Die Slowly 18th July 2009 09:08 PM

Just watched "JCVD" and was rather taken with it.Van Damme can act!

spooks 18th July 2009 11:56 PM

With the remake of a fav film of mine (taking of pelham 123) about to be released, i made a rather suitable choice of film to watch tonight, Charley Varrick (actor Walter Matthau being the link). A great little crime thriller, which was most enjoyable. Certainly a good antidote to some of the rubbish I had to watch today whilst at work in a cinema (the new transformers film:ack:)

BioZombie 19th July 2009 01:28 AM

Watched The Hills Have Eyes today (anchorbay 2 disc) it's been a while since i last saw it and was really blown away by how good it is. I really loved the epic rant by Jupiter to the served head of the father 'I will eat the brains of your chidrens children' (not sure if this is the exact quote) Classic!

I also watched the making of doc on the second disk and really enjoyed that too.

Has anyone watched the American Nightmare doc? Looks interesting and is feature length which is cool, worth looking at?
