"Just about everything you could want in a Martial Arts exploitation Drive-In Classic! Beautiful blond Jillian Kesner plays martial arts expert Susanne Carter who heads off to the Philippines in search of her missing sister. Once there she uncovers a secret drug cartel run by an evil druglord who runs illegal to-the-death fight matches in a nightclub! As she works undercover, she falls for the second in command, who turns out to be directly responsible for her sister's death! Will she get revenge and take out a ton of crooks along the way? You bet! With topless kung fu as her main weapon, you get death by electric saw blade to the head and some serious gory eye gouging! Tons of action, violence and sex to keep this one moving along at a brisk and entertaining pace! Better than your usual fight choreography when compared to other Philippine martial art flicks and some decent acting make this a rare gem indeed! Make sure and see FIRECRACKER uncut (it was banned entirely in Iceland!). " [More]

"Directed by Ugo Liberatore in 1978 and starring Renato Cestie, Rena Niehaus, Lorraine De Selle and Olga Karlatos. Mark is a young blind boy who is looked after by his embittered sister and also suffers from gruesome visions of an ominous man dressed in black. When the mysterious stranger steps out of Mark’s nightmares into reality, and his sister becomes unexpectedly pregnant, Mark is convinced that demonic forces are at work and that the birth of the antichrist may be at hand! This Italian merging of themes from The Omen and Rosemary’s Baby is a tense and atmospheric excursion into evil featuring a shocking climax that will not soon be forgotten! Gore, nudity and suspense can all be found in this rare and recommended film that we offer widescreen and uncut. Pino Donaggio supplies the score! " [More]

"Congrats on getting your website updated! I hope you get your link problems worked out. I understand the frustration as my Cultcuts website is way way behind. My wife who handled all the web duties has been in the hospital since early January, and I must admit, as much as I spend time online promoting film, and our other company Digital Conquest, I'm a complete dope when it comes to web design. She's getting better, so I hope we'll be back and up and running! Mark [quote user="Phantasma-gore-ia"] As Dr. Gor will ebuilliently tell you, I had, many moons ago, a gruesomely-themed, sick-minded site called http://www.bloodgutsandgore.co m wherein I chronicled...well, I think you can guess what, in unflinching and precise detail. I let it go for quite a while but have recently gotten back into the violence and depravity of it all and have started taking up residence at a new host on bigger servers and, I hope, decidedly better efficiency at uploading my images. A big problem, one I ... " [More]

"Helen, after recovering from a near fatal car crash that took place during a professional race, discovers she is broke. She decides to accept an invitation to stay at her ex-husband's (who she once tried to murder in response to his indiscreet infidelities) extravagant villa and learns that it was not Maurice who sent the invitation, but his new wife, Constance. Constance wants to recruit Helen to assist in her diabolical plot to murder Maurice, but things go wrong and Constance ends up getting killed instead! Her daughter arrives shortly after and knows something isn’t quite right with the story of her Mother’s accidental death. All this is only the beginning. A brilliant giallo that Digital Conquest offers in a very nice English language print for all you Lenzi/Baker fans that just can’t get enough! We can’t say as we blame you either. " [More]

"Bob Crane has a psychic link with his fashion-model sister who happens to be in Milano, Italy. When he gets a flash of her murder, he's off to Europe to find her. Slightly different and better than your average gialli, we get sex, murder and beautiful women as a killer knocks off one victim after another with a large pair of scissors. Donald Pleasance adds more class to the proceedings as a retiring detective who wants to help Crane, but isn't given much to go on. Despite the clues, Crane runs into one red herring after another and keeps the viewer from guessing the shocking truth! The murders are stylish, not tacky or ultra-gory, but the motives are as sleazy as they come. This would make a great companion piece to TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE and FASHION CRIMES. Tons of twists and turns as we get a glimpse into fashion modeling and the seedy trappings underneath! Make sure and see it uncut and widescreen! " [More]
NOSFERATU IN VENICE

"Klaus Kinski returns in this semi-sequel to Werner Herzog's 1979 Nosferatu! This time around, the prince of darkness is summoned 200 years later by the heir of his true love during a séance. Leaving nothing in his wake, he journeys homebound to Venice in order to either reunite with the exotically beautiful Barbara De Rossi or yearn for death in utter turmoil within his own curse as he reflects; "Time has no meaning in a life that never ends." A great cast including Christopher Plummer in the Van Helsing role as Professor Paris Catalano and the hypocritical religious priest Don Alvise played superbly by Donald Pleasance. Despite the original director Mario Caiano being fired and replaced by producer Augusto Caminito (with directorial help from Luigi Cozzi, Maurizio Lucidi and Klaus Kinski) there is a great cast and some incredibly atmospheric cinematography by Tonino Nardi. Also, there is a rousing soundtrack by Luigi Ceccarelli contributing to one of the better European vam ... " [More]

"PANICAlso Known AsBAKTERIONI VIVI INVIDIERANNO I MORTIDirected by Tonino Ricci in 1976Starring David Warbeck and Janet Agren When a biologist becomes infected by a virus that mutates him into a pulsating monster with an insatiable craving for human blood it falls to David Warbeck and the local police to stop him. If they can’t, the military has already conceived a plan to destroy the entire city and make it look like an unfortunate accident. They would rather sacrifice those lives than see a virus of such destructive power spread throughout the world. The citizenry becomes violent, the monster becomes hungry, and time is running out for everybody! The beautiful Janet Agren portrays the biologists assistant who frantically races against the clock to find an antidote. For those who are familiar with the truncated domestic release, Digital Conquest's version will be a real surprise as it contains plenty of gore and nudity completely removed from other available prints!

"SPIDER LABYRINTHAlso Known AsIL NIDODEL RAGNODirected by Gianfranco Giagni in 1988 and starring Roland Wybenga, Paola Rinaldi, Stephane Audran and William Berger. Professor Alan Whitmore is sent to Budapest to find out why a colleague working on an important worldwide research project has made himself so scarce. The project involves translating and understanding writing that is linked to an ancient religion soon found to be much less dead than anyone suspected. The followers know what the writing contains, the names of their deities, and there are no measures too ghastly to protect this secret. The world will know soon enough… Here is an absolutely stunning supernatural horror film that is filled with dark, color-accented, atmosphere. No surprise that this has been compared to Dario Argento’s work on a number of occasions. Lots of violent intensity and Sergio Stivaletti’s F/X work is beyond amazing! Make sure and see it Widescreen and uncut! " [More]

"SO SWEET, SO DEADAlso Known AsRIVELAZIONI DI UN MANIACO SESSUALE AL CAPO DELLA SQUADRA MOBILEREVELATIONS OF A SEX MANIAC TO THE HEAD OF THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISIONTHE SLASHERDirected by Roberto Montero in 1972 and Starring Farley Granger, Sylva Koscina, Krista Nell, Femi Benussi, Luciano Rossi, Nieves Navarro (credited as Susan Scott), Christea Avram (credited as Chris Avram), Silvano Tranquilli and Annabella Incontrera As amazing a cast as that is it’s important to point out that there are even more recognizable faces throughout. More than we had room to list! Some consider this the ultimate giallo; the pinnacle of the genre that achieves its perfection with calculated finesse and effortless perfection beyond a fault. Others consider it reprehensible; cynical trash that’s nihilistic and cruel with no redeeming values whatsoever. Around here we tend to lean decidedly toward the former rather than the latter. A murderer has taken up the position of moral redeemer ... " [More]

"There is a madman loose in the city that has the power to destroy anyone at anytime because he is using the ultimate weapon against his victims… the telephone! Chamberlain is Professor Nat Bridger; a man who finds himself unwittingly caught at the center of a recent string of violent murders committed by a killer who uses science to accomplish his evil goals. Soon Bridger isn’t just an outsider looking in, now he has become the next target! This amazingly competent and paranoid suspense film is top-shelf entertainment all the way around! An excellent Canadian thriller that is also a commentary on big business and our ever-growing dependency on the technology that surrounds us more and more each day. First rate writing, directing, cinematography, acting and music all come together perfectly in this unfairly neglected edge of your seat thrill ride from the director of such classics as Orca and Logan’s Run! Why has Bells been over-looked? This is probably due to the ... " [More]

"High caliber acting talent abounds in this gory sci-fi horror classic that tells the tale of what happens when an alien trophy hunter arrives on Earth to stalk humans as prey! It falls to a young couple whose friends were murdered to convince the people of a nearby small town that an intergalactic danger is threatening them all! As it turns out, there are two men who believe the story. One is a veteran who is convinced the aliens were always nearby waiting for their chance to strike and the other is himself a proud and vengeful hunter who has had a run in with this extraterrestrial being and its vicious flesh tearing parasites before! This is an excellent film with fantastic cinematography, special F/X and atmosphere. " [More]

"John Slade is veteran who must wage his own personal war in order to rescue a friend who is being held hostage by communist evildoers. The painfully generic plot would be just another reason to consider this movie utterly dismissible if there weren’t a number of things worth noting, starting with the director, cast, and crew. For example, Umberto Lenzi and Tito Carpi, they wrote the screenplay for this! Enzo’s daughter (Stefania Girlolami) was even the assistant director! Also, the entire movie is essentially one long and bloody action scene where the body count reaches truly impressive proportions! There are a couple of surprise appearances by recognizable performers as well. Finally, some of the lines are just gems! If you’re a low budget Italian action/trash fan then Striker is a pretty safe bet! " [More]
