SS Experiment Camp 1976

Near the end of World War II, female prisoners are used in a experiment with soldiers of the Third Reich.

The Nazi's were prone to do some sick twisted experiments on POWs during WW2 which was horrific, in this exploitation of those I did try my best to not laugh at some of the scenes in this especially a guy that's lost his knackers and running about daft and the operation of so called transplant and the acting wasnt the best, it can be watchable but not over and over again. 4-5 out of 10.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe 2016.

While investigating a family murder a body is found half buried and taken to a coroner's office, the father/son team try to piece together the body.

This is a decent chiller type movie, it doesn't rely on jump scares but more on the psychological side of imagination mixed with claustrophobia with good acting from Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch as the father son team trying to find answers from the dead body. The film goes from a steady pace to fast and back to steady that can seem to be confusing in some bits but worth a watch. 8 out of 10.

Captain Clegg (1962)

A classic Hammer adventure yarn about smuggling with a great horror element as ghostly skeletal riders haunt Romney Marshes to scare off the curious as Captain Clegg (a brilliant Peter Cushing) and his band of looters go about their nefarious business.

I love this film, it has a beautiful blend of action, superstition, romance and of course good old skull duggery. Yvonne Romain adds beauty to proceedings as Oliver Reed, a square jawed Naval captain Patrick Allen and yes, Michael Ripper, bring the swash and buckle and the ghost riders look terrific.

Although closer to Poldark and Jamaica Inn than it is to Dracula and The Curse of Frankenstein, Captain Clegg is still a brilliant slice of Gothic melodrama.

Lethal Vows 1999.

A Doctor is accused by his ex wife of poisoning his second wife and sets out to prove his guilt.

Based on the true story of Richard Overton who was convicted of poisoning both his wives using selenium in a coffee can.
John Ritter plays the respected doctor and family man with a very dark hidden persona, Marg Helgenberger plays the ex wife trying to find her ex husband's guilt but with the mind games being played it becomes very suspenseful and chilling to the end with the doctor's last phone call. Worth a watch if you like true story's.

Night of the Sorcerers (1974)

Director Amando Di Assorio is best known for his excellent Blind Dead films. Although Night of the Sorcerers doesn't really come close to the greatness of those films, it does share some of the ideas conceived by them, most obviously the graphic whipping sequences which had censors the world over biting their knuckles due to the nudity and blood on breast sequences. the sacrificial scenes are quite striking, heads roll down shoots and blood gushes out of the dismembered bodies after them in scenes of almost violent poetry that would thrill the drive-in crowds that Di Assorio was aiming at.

Although set in Africa, the feature was filmed in a Spanish safari park, located near Madrid. Di Assorio makes the film look good, the jungles are lush and the river scenes vast, certainly giving the appearance of the huge African terrains. Di Assorio adds vivid colours to the mix and this combined with the swirling mists and occult storyline gives the film quite a unique and often dream-like style.

That sounds like something I would enjoy a lot. I see there is a Shout Factory Blu-ray double feature of it and The Loreley's Grasp, a film I haven't seen. Having read a bit, it's probably like something which would be well worth a blind buy.
