If its gore you want this once banned Nasty delivers in buckets.
When he was a little boy George witnessed his his father engaged in a little light S& M with a hooker (who he also kills for good measure), thus causing him to trip over the edge into psychosis and bloody murder. The thoroughly deranged adult George has been living in a lunatic asylum, but thanks to a typical idiotic psychiatrist who doesn't seem to understand that George is a foaming at the mouth nutcase, George is released to the wide world to wreak havoc to any poor unfortunate young woman who strays into his path. Interwined in the plot is a babysitter looking after three young kids, one of whom notices George spying on them at home and at a day out on the beach...
A low budget cult classic, this film was very surprising, it exactly made my flesh crawl! Indeed once seen never forgotten!
Warning: this film contains the following: sleazy sex club which George visits on his first day out of the lunatic asylum (especially love the scene where after witnessing a stripper play with a vibrator, George collapses on the floor foaming at the mouth!), mannequin decapitation, scary young boy named CJ!

ADVENTURES IN POUNDLAND HORROR - No 13 - MEMORIAL DAY KILLER

MEMORIAL DAY KILLER
BEERS. BURGERS, BLOODSHED, IT'S GOING TO BE A SCREAM
Straight up rip off of FRIDAY THE 13th complete with drowned in a lake evil mask wearing lunatic.
A group of teens going to a woodland cabin to get drunk and partay! It's the anniversary of the death during a similar party of a slightly retarded son of junkie parents. Its all so familiar...
The deaths are quite imaginative and gory which raises it slightly above yer bog average slasher, but with the normal quota of irritating teens and bad acting.
Shot on a budget of $7,000 this is true indie horror and for that reason I'll cut it some slack
Its not truly bad, just derivative at times but suffers from a lack of pace at times which you really need at times of running throught the woods screaming!
Twist at the end - but well telegraphed - Lisafer had got it well before the end (but the twist ending doesn't make any bloody sense at all!).
Warning - this movie contains the following: 10 minutes of bickering in a car about taking a piss stop, 10 minutes of whinging teen asking "has anybody seen my keys?", and an amazing blooper: guy takes his shirt off, cut to a scene where he decides he needs to look in his trouser pockets for something, lo and behold his shirt is magically on!   
2 stars and a hockey mask (made of papier mache).

In The Gutter Looking At Stars 12 : FLESH FOR THE BEAST

POUNDLAND treasure this time, the uncut version of this Fulciesque gore and nudity fantasy.
Tag Line : OPEN THE GATE, STEP IN, LOSE YOUR MIND
Dunno where the gate is but still, it could be the gate to the lovely gothic house in which the film is set, or it could be a metaphysical gate, or it could be a tag line writer too bloody lazy to watch the film.
A 1920s mad millionaire gets his hands on an egyptian amulet which promises great power but, as a side effect unleashes three (or four) Succubi who have sex with and then devour men (and women).
Cut to the present and a group of university funded parapsychologist engage on a ghost hunt led by the worlds least convincing scientist who wears a tight white vest ( a black dude who's name escapes me) all muscles and macho one liners.
One by one the investigators are picked off by the succubuses fulfilling their fantasys before ripping them to shreds. Great fx - not cgi , just good honest to goodness offal bags - great. reminds me of clasic 80s Italian gore.
The twist at the end is a suprise, well it was for me but I had been distracted by the full frontal nudity a bit.
One of poundlands best.
Sadly Lisafer didnt like this - says its a bloke film
5 stars and a flange shot.(Dave)
