“Island of Death” (1976) - “Island of Death” is the melting pot of exploitation. This “Greek Nasty” never truly commits to any genre, there is more than enough craziness to satisfy adventurous movie lovers. Writer/Director Nico Mastorakis quickly finds a comfortable groove and paces “Island of Death” well. The film never really rips off any movie in particular, but it does have one of those ‘familiar faces.’ Your jaw may hit the floor a few times.
“The Lady in Red Kills Seven Times” (1972) – Emilo Miraglia’s second and final giallo is filled with style and plenty of blood. Barbara Bouchet, Sybil Danning and Maria Malfatti are just a few of the lovely ladies who grace the screen, but don’t ignore the Red Queen. She may add you to her list of victims!
“The Beast with Five Fingers” (1946) – Peter Lorre and a severed hand that kills people. What more do you need to know?
“The Last House on Dead End Street” (1977) – Roger Watkins mixes the real life fears with a surreal David Lynch style edge. This movie is raw and unpolished, but overcomes the shoestring budget to present a nice, gritty horror experience. Watkins, who also stars in the movie, taunts his onscreen victims with odd antics and sadistic torture methods. This would pair well with a Jim Van Bebber’s “Deadbeat at Dawn.”
