The 88 Films Thread

[will graham]

I was thinking the same re: Fatal Games myself, a pretty solid, if unremarkable slasher. I have the 23rd Century DVD which, if I remember rightly, was a VHS rip

I did ask about Fatal Games when the slasher collection was first announced on facebook and it's a no go. Can't exactly remember what Calum told me but it's definitely got to do with what would be the audio/visual quality rather than getting hold of the rights.

I've got it on video under the box title of The Killing Touch. Swear to god this was originally conceived as a soft porno and then somewhen someone said it would make more money as a slasher. Seriously apart from The Flesh and Blood Show, I can't think of a slasher that has as much female nudity as Fatal Games has.

I have the 23rd century release and I enjoyed it for the trashy slasher it is, more fun than the dull graduation day. The killer is so commited in using a javelin for murders that to get the swimming champ they put on scuba gear and hide at the bottom of the pool with their javelin.

One of those two remaining Italian titles will be the Fulci one, right?

Between excess softcore nudity, and your quote above, I am now extremely interested in this title. Where can I see a decent copy of this? Apparently it has no official dvd release.

try ebay or your local cex where they'll prob have it in for 65p, slasher wise i'd like too see microwave massacre or visting hours get the 88 treatment. Sadly they cant get blood diner.

Blood Diner is out on Blu ray in Germany.

All bar two have been available in the UK previously in the two Franco box sets released by Anchor Bay.

Some were cut then for hardcore sex so they would be again.

With them being dvd only i think those that want them will already own them.

Living in Australia, I don't have CEX's, they sound so good, same with Fopp.

I'll have a browse on ebay now if they're cheap Thank you
