Alternate Titles:
Great White / The Last Shark

German Titles:
Der weiße Killer / The Last Jaws - Der weiße Killer

Italy, 1981

Director: Enzo G. Castellari

5/10

Blatantly audacious yet surprisingly quite decent and diverting "Jaws/Jaws 2"-ripoff. The plot is totally unimaginative and the actors are rather lame - apart from that it's pretty fast-paced and thrilling with a great Italo-disco soundtrack, nice camera work and a bunch of cheesily brilliant shark scenes.

Sirene I / U1 - Tauchfahrt des Todes

Spain / USA, 1990

Director: Juan Piquer Simón

6/10

Quite stupid but highly entertaining underwater creature-feature cheesefest from trash-genius Simón. An unoriginal plot, mediocre acting, dull dialogue- yet, it's often pretty tense, action-packed and atmospheric, the sea-monsters all look great, the low budget effects are gorgeous and of course it's always fun to watch the fabulous R. Lee Ermey.

THE CAR

THE CAR

Alternate Title:

German Title:
Der Teufel auf Rädern

USA, 1977

Director: Elliot Silverstein

7/10

One of the first car-horror-flicks, clearly influenced by "Duel" and "Jaws", yet still pretty original and unique. The car (a rebuilt Lincoln Mark III) looks terrifically creepy and its honking sounds really terrifying. The whole movie is quite suspenseful and atmospheric, the cast is really good (James Brolin, John Marley...), the soundtrack is brilliant and the last 10-15 minutes are just marvellous.

KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS

KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS

German Title:
Mörderspinnen

USA, 1977

Director: John 'Bud' Cardos

7/10

Highly entertaining spider-invasion movie and definitely one of the better nature-goes-wild flicks from the 70s. The plot is weak and the dialogue is often quite silly, but apart from that it's just great with a surprisingly good William Shatner, a great build-up of tension, great atmosphere, an outstandingly awesome ending and, of course, the huge amount of real tarantulas (more than 5.000).

JUST BEFORE DAWN

JUST BEFORE DAWN

German Titles:
Vor Morgengrauen / Blutige Dämmerung

USA, 1981

Director: Jeff Lieberman

5/10

Average backwoods slasher which tries to differ from similar movies of that time, but sadly fails. There's plenty of atmosphere, wonderful camera work, an interesting soundtrack and some great non-sterotype actors. Yet, the script is too much of a mess, it's often way too lengthy and unsuspenseful and the killers/kills are quite underwhelming.

I totally loved this movie when I was a kid and surprisingly I still do. Yeah, it's a bit cheesy and the plot is really nothing special, but it has a nice cast (Jenny Seagrove, you hot bitch!), a huge amount of nerve-wracking tension and wonderful atmosphere, cool effects and some great gore. It's a mystery to me why this movie is not more popular.

DEADLY BLESSING

DEADLY BLESSING

German Titles:
Tödlicher Segen / Dem Tode geweiht / Gesichter des Teufels

USA, 1981

Director: Wes Craven

4/10

A quite weak early work from Wes Craven (some kinda slasher in an Amish-like community). Most of the time it's extremely boring, incredibly slow and totally unscary. A few stand-out scenes (bath tub snake attack, all the barn scenes, the surprising ending) and an interesting cast (Ernest Borgnine, Michael Berryman, Sharon Stone...) but overall, it's rather forgettable.

Bessudo's first moviet "Lake Dead" was total crap but his second one is surprisingly absolutely brilliant! A highly tense and extremely intelligent horror flick, very thrilling and atmospheric with a bunch of great actors, an awfully great plot, a super-twisted script and some terrifyingly brutal scenes (that cheese grader... ouch!).

4/10

Weak little slasher/thriller-blend that desperately tries to be original or different, but sadly fails. Ok actors, ok soundtrack, some memorable scenes (the cool shower-scene spoof, the headshot, the tense barn scene...) but overall just way too slow and boring.

INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS

INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS

German Titles:

1/10

One of those atrocious no-budget exploitation-flicks from the 70s, unbelievably crappy with grotty actors, a terrible plot and extremely awful dialogue - yet, in some kind of way it's pretty entertaining. The blood farmers look like they're totally retarded and the 'growing blood' is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

DRIVE THRU

DRIVE THRU

Alternate Titles:

USA, 2007

Directors: Brendan Cowles & Shane Kuhn

7/10

Highly amusing fun-slasher that takes itself not too seriously. The story is pretty stupid and full of plot holes, but that's not important here. It's all about 'Horny, the clown' who works at the fast food restaurant 'Hella-Burger' and loves to slaughter off teenagers. I know how that sounds, but actually it is really great: the killer clown looks breathtakingly awesome and knows how to kill. There's some nice tension and atmosphere, a bunch of ok actors, a cool soundtrack and some funny dialogue.
I highly recommend this flick!

1/10

Supercrappy and unbelievably bad slasher-cheesefest, probably produced with a budget of about 50 bucks. Terrible actors, horrible dialogue, an unbearable soundtrack, pointless sex scenes, laughable kills and a mega-stupid-looking killer with an extremely annoying synthesizer voice.

If you're into crap like "The Suckling" or "Bleed", then this is your movie.

BATTLE ROYALE

9/10

Highly disturbing, ultra-violent and extremely intelligent masterstroke. The story is just brilliant and very thought-provoking, but also pretty challenging. The acting is great, the depressing atmosphere is incredibly impressive, settings and cinematography are just wonderful and the kills are all terrifically gory and awesome.
A tough but excellent film, hard to swallow but eventually it's worth it.

4/10

It's a real shame but unfortunately the sequel sucks to a great extent.

It starts off great, really great. The first 50 minutes are absolutely excellent: extremely fast-paced, highly suspenseful, gloriously violent and gory, with nice dialogue and great atmosphere

- but then it goes downhill rapidly. Everything, really everything after this terrific opening is crap: it's utterly boring and tedious, the plot goes into a completely uninteresting direction, there's no suspense, no tension, the acting is weak and the characters are all pathetic idiots.

Simply a huge disappointment.

Probably Australia's first slasher movie and it's a decent one. The story is weak and there are many slow and uninteresting scenes. Yet, the cast is pretty ok, the dialogue is often hilariously great, there's plenty of atmosphere, the theater settings look wonderful and the kills are all brilliant.
(I'm not sure but it looks like this movie could have influenced the similar slashers "Stage Fright" and "Curtains")

Imagine someone's telling you a story about a gang of 12 monsters living under the Golden Gate bridge, running around killing people, and they can only be defeated with water, and you ask him "Who are they? And where do they come from?", and he answers "I have no idea."

Well, that's what 'Neon Maniacs' is all about, a pretty weird 80s flick which is on the one hand so 80s it hurts, but on the other hand pretty entertaining with a high body count, some great atmosphere and a nice soundtrack.

I recommend to watch the "Killer Crocodile" flicks instead; they may be as crappy as 'Blood Surf', but they are at least a bit more entertaining.

Pretty stupid and fucked up backwoods creature feature about a monster boar called 'Ripper' (how original!) and an insane hippie commune. Some nice kills, some funny dialogue and a great soundtrack - apart from that it's extremely boring, full of annoying and unlikeable characters, and the pig itself looks just disappointing.

Hell yeah, once again a great horror flick from France. This time it's a rapid and ravishing take on the zombie genre, apocalyptic, action-packed and gore-filled, with a good cast (especially the hilarious old guy), a brilliant-looking setting (an abandoned apartment tower), amusing dialogue and lots of great zombie action. A total must-see.

Quite decent hospital slasher, sadly completely forgotten. It's far too long and slow, but thankfully it never really gets boring. There are some great suspense-scenes, the cast is pretty good (Michael Ironside, William Shatner...) and the kills are all well.
Nothing special but definitely worth watching.

The directorial debut from the grandmaster of special effects Stan Winston, a great and entertaining cult classic.

Unoriginal and disappointing sequel, nowhere near as good as the original.
All 4 points go to all the fabulous Pumpkinhead-scenes: they're all extremely entertaining and well shot, good ol' Pumpkin again looks brilliant, is terrifically badass and kills a high amount of people in brutal and supergory ways.
No points go to the lame story, the lousy actors, the annoying characters, the bad dialogue and the lack of tension and atmosphere.

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK??? It's a total mystery to me how the man behind the magnificent "Ju-On: The Grudge" could make such a steaming pile of shit. I'm dead angry about the 7 Euro that I've wasted for this utter crap - hell, I even would be angry if I would have watched it for free.
90 minutes of my life I'll never get back, 90 minutes full of lousy actors, horrible dialogue, unimpressive settings and pointless 3D scenes, with absolutely no tension, no suspense, no single scary moment, no atmosphere and one of the most terrible plots in history. The only good thing about it was the soundtrack but apart from that, this is probably one of the worst movies ever made, even worse than Troll 2.

A really nice take on Gaston Leroux' classic tale, quite tense and atmospheric, but also pretty violent and gory with some beautifully stylish settings, great music and a decent cast (scream queen Jill Schoelen, the fabulous Bill Nighy in one of his earliest roles...). Highlight of the movie is of course the wonderful Robert Englund who delivers a brilliant performance as disgustingly deformed phantom.

An interesting but odd and lackluster horror-thriller with some black humor. I absolutely love the look of the labyrinth-like house with all its gimmicks. The 'people under the stairs' look quite creepy and there are a whole lotta really scary scenes. Sadly there's not much suspense, many of the actors are totally unsuitable for their parts and the whole social-commentary-story seems a bit out of place.
