When the list was first published on Facebook, via Fab Press, a guy commented saying he'd seen all the films on it! Whether this is true is debatable, but if it is then he's probably got a high tolerance for crappy Grindhouse trash!
Just reading the plots of some of them is enough IMO!

Schoolgirls in Chains (1973)


This fairly enjoyable and sleazy little exploitationer is centered around two brothers who kidnap young girls and keep them locked up in their basement under the control and influence of their domineering mother. One brother is a simpleton who sees the girls as nothing but playmates and subjects them to various torturous games - playing doctor will never be the same again - whilst the other brother is more aloof and absorbed with his 'mommy issues'.

Whilst an exploitationer at heart, the film is often quite dark and brooding with lingering close-ups on the girls' facial expressions as they undergo and witness the various torturous shenanigans the brothers deploy onto them and that of their fellow captees. The low budget adds to the gritty mood and despite the twist element at the end, which becomes increasingly more obvious as the film progresses, this was an interesting and original enough experience to engage me throughout...

...let's hope the same can be said about the bulk of the other films I've still to see on this list.

Default lazy repost time



The Worm Eaters (1977).
Quote:
Herman Umgar, a German hermit, has an ability to communicate with worms. One day the mayor of the town runs him off his property, so in revenge he plants worms in everybody's food.However, these worms are a special breed of mutant worms from the Red Tide, and when the people eat them they are transformed into giant worms themselves. These worm-people also become Herman's slaves.
Try a little experiment,stick your fingers down your throat,get that gag reflex goin,this will help in understanding the feelin im trying to convey.
Not much can offend or shock me,very little Ive seen over the years has really made me feel physically sick,and that includes the endless mondo movies I have watched.(not even Divine's dog turd seen).
But for some unholy reason The Worm Eaters had the desired effect on me,repulsion and the gag factor came into play as a bunch of not very good actors thought that shoving worms in there gob would be a ticket to stardom and fame.Now wether they were real or not,(and they looked damn real to me) the very thought alone of those critters wiggling down someones gullet really made me feel quite sick.
Perhaps it was the low budget gritty feel of the film that made it so icky,or perhaps it was the gonzo actors who would seemingly shove anything in an orrifice just so long as it was on camera.
No worm related film before or since has really nailed it like this one has,Parasite,Deadly Spawn or Slugs are fun movies but don't have the worm factor about them.
Produced by Ted V.Mikel's him of the Corpse Grinders and directed (HA) by Herb Robins?,this has the classic feel of low budget grindhouse that you only get with a 70's movie, there is a plot in there somewhere,but I gave up following the story because every time I saw a seen where some one had worms in there mouth I was both grossed out and transfixed,gee perhaps this was a good film after all,I mean im still watching it even tho I wanna barf.
No i just remembered Ill watch any old crap,which kind of brings me around to my final thought,what happened
after the worms were eaten?MMMMMM I think a sequel is needed.

Doctor Slowly can perform them if we ask him nicely.

I fear these questions are going to be a little difficult to answer considering the films in question! Due to their background/history a great deal haven't made the leap to DVD from VHS. In the case of this one, I think there was a Code Red DVD which is now oop / unavailable due to the nature of Bill's current 'business model'... however, there is a perfectly watchable version on the old 'Tube.

Yeah, I've found a R1 DVD on Amazon for a little over £14, Exploitation Digital apparently, I bet it's a poor quality VHS rip!

If I get time, I might try and compile a definitive list of the availability of each film on DVD/BD
