The 88 Films Thread

Like others i will usual wait till they go on sale, if they stop selling them in-store i can see sales for there stuff dropping dramatically.

me to. but i am seriously tempted by Amazonas and Eyeball.

So what is Eyeball like as far as these Italian horrors go? I've never seen it

Come to think of it I've never seen Nightmare Beach either, any recommendations here for either?

Well where I live there is no hmv or anything like it so I have no choice but to rely on postal service. If there was a hmv then sure I would buy in shop.

I always buy at least 1 new title from them each year but like with most I cannot afford to buy everyone's titles brand new I have to wait until sales or ebay.

Nightmare Beach is less of a giallo and more of a typical American slasher. I quite like it for what it is - decent fun rather than serious stuff like The Bloodstained Butterfly.

Eyeball is one on it's own, again not a typical giallo... to be honest i've only watched my Euro dvd a couple of times and can't remember much about it. Good cover art though.

If 88 Films stopped being stocked in HMV then I probably wont buy any more.

The last 88Films I got direct were 'The Creeps' and 'Unhinged', which I got on 29 Jun 2016

The last ones I got in store were 'I Drink Your Blood', 'Massacre In Dinosaur Valley' and 'Seven Deaths In The Cats Eye', which I got a few weeks ago!

Eyeball seems to have a good reputation but I didn't really like Spasmo when I watched that and obviously they seem to get compared a lot, I get the feeling the best thing about both films are their Bruno Nicolai soundtracks...
