Plot/Synopsis:

A lesser-known but memorably bizarre giallo thriller, this unusual shocker has a petty thief named Antoine falsely sentenced to death for the murder of a high-class prostitute at a brothel run by Madame Colette.
The first of the film’s risible plot machinations has the wrongfully condemned Antoine putting a curse on his accusers, escaping as he is about to be guillotined, and then being decapitated anyway after leading authorities on a motorcycle chase.
One of the judge’s friends is a doctor named Waldemar who does experiments on the deceased non-killer’s eyeballs; when the judge is murdered, everyone is sure that Antoine is getting revenge from beyond the grave.
It certainly seems coincidental that everyone who is being murdered was at Madame Colette’s brothel on the night Antoine was arrested, but the real killer was there too, and gorily claims several more victims before being chased up the Eiffel Tower in the film’s mind-boggling conclusion. ~ Allmovie

Plot/Synopsis:

This is a deliriously strange thriller about a scientist who is breeding headless, boneless chickens at a high-tech farm. He’s having an affair with Gabrielle, who is plotting with him to kill his wife, Anna…and she’s plotting with Gabrielle to kill him…and he and Anna are plotting…oh, it’s too confusing, but extremely memorable.
The bizarre, only semi-linear editing and trippy cinematographic techniques are artifacts of the psychedelic era and combine with the twisted story to make any Euro-cultist’s dreams come true. A film that defies easy categorization, it veers uneasily between giallo, drug film, and science-fiction, with heavy doses of romance and Antonioni-like weirdness. Some parts are even reminiscent of David Lynch’s Eraserhead.
A must-see for genre fans. ~ Robert Firsching. Allmovie

Plot/Synopsis:

The film is a dark and grotesque parody of human society and may be described as a dystopia. It depicts a desert planet, depleted of its resources, home to an impoverished dog-eat-dog society with extreme inequality and oppression. It is a cult film, especially in post-Soviet countries, and its humorous dialogue is frequently quoted.
The story takes place on the desert planet “Pluke” in the “Kin-dza-dza” galaxy, where two Soviet humans previously unknown to each other (“Uncle Vova”, a gruff construction foreman from Moscow, and “The Fiddler”, a student from Georgia) are stranded due to an accidental encounter with an alien teleportation device. The movie describes their long quest to find a way back home… ~ Wikipedia

Rapture (1980)

Original title: Arrebato
Year: 1980
Runtime: 109 minutes
Country: Spain
Language: Spanish
Subtitles: English | Spanish (.srt)
Genre: Drama | Cult

Director: Iván Zulueta

Cast:
Eusebio Poncela … José Sirgado
Cecilia Roth … Ana Turner
Will More … Pedro
Marta Fernández Muro … Marta
Helena Fernán-Gómez … Gloria
Carmen Giralt … Tía Carmen
Max Madera … Hustler
Javier Ulacia … Photo shop assistant
Rosa Crespo … Vampira
Luis Ciges … Porter

Plot/Synopsis:

The absolute last word on visual addiction, Arrebato is a fascinating Spanish cult film. Drugs, vampirism and uncontrollable film fanaticism all figure into this little seen classic that bears quite a few similarities to David Cronenberg’s Videodrome, which it predated by five years.
The story: Jose is a filmmaker putting the finishing touches on his latest production, a schlocky vampire picture. Feeling supremely dissatisfied with his vocation and heroin addicted girlfriend Ana, he arrives back at his apartment to discover a package from his friend Pedro. It contains a reel of super 8mm film, an audiotape and a key to Pedro’s apartment.
Flashbacks show how these two men, both of whom share an extraordinary passion for filmmaking, met at Pedro’s family home where Jose was location scouting. Pedro, who’s never without his super 8mm camera, believes life is only worth anything if it’s caught on film. Furthermore, he’s tapped a hidden power inherent in film images that causes him to experience a mystical state of “Arrebato,” or rapture. Before long Pedro becomes addicted to this sensation, eventually cutting himself off from the outside world and devoting his life to filming himself in bed. His camera in turn grows increasingly powerful as it saps more and more of Pedro’s life force, eventually developing the capacity to turn itself on and off and, more alarmingly, literally erase objects—and, inevitably, people—from existence.
All this is evident on the film and tape Pedro has mailed to Jose, who in the end decides to visit his friend’s apartment. He arrives to find Pedro’s camera set up and running, but its owner nowhere to be found…
The film also has an experimental edge in common with avant-garde filmmakers like Stan Brakhage and Jack Smith; Zulueta includes extensive footage of the pixilated home movies Pedro makes, which in their strangely compelling nonlinear weirdness are worthy of Brakhage or Smith. ~ Adam Groves, The Cutting Edge.

Michael Berling … Dr. Seward’s Assistant (as Michael Berlin)
Jesus Franco … Memmet

Plot/Synopsis:

Director Jesus Franco’s surrealistic reworking of Bram Stoker’s short story Dracula’s Guest has acquired a substantial cult following due to its hallucinatory erotic imagery and a sexy performance by Soledad Miranda as vampiric Princess Nadine Korody.
Lucy Westinghouse [is] an American working in a Turkish legal firm. Lucy is plagued and thrilled by a series of erotic dreams concerning a mysterious vampire woman who seduces her before feeding on her blood. When she travels to an island to settle Princess Korody’s inheritance, Lucy recognizes the beautiful woman as the vampire from her dreams.
A poetic, arty horror film which begs comparison to the work of French director Jean Rollin and Spaniard Jose Larraz, Vampyros Lesbos is an ode to indulgent, funereal excess and is among the most peculiar, gripping films of Franco’s career.
… Franco appears as a hotel porter. ~ Robert Firsching, allmovie.com

Delirium (1972)

Original title: Delirio caldo
AKA: Death at the Villa
Year: 1972
Runtime: 102 minutes
Country: Italy
Language: Italian
Subtitles: English (hardsubbed)
Genre: Crime | Horror | Mystery | Thriller | Cult

Director: Renato Polselli

Cast:
Mickey Hargitay … Herbert Lyutak
Rita Calderoni … Marcia Lyutak
Raul Lovecchio … Inspector Edwards
Christa Barrymore … Joaquine
Tano Cimarosa … John Lacey

Plot/Synopsis:

Italian filmmaker Renato Polselli (aka Ralph Brown) wrote and directed this wonderfully sick and demented giallo thriller, a shining example of the sort of outrageous psychosexual perversity for which the genre has become cherished by cult enthusiasts.
Former Mr. Universe Mickey Hargitay was already a sleaze favorite for his turn as Il Boio Scarlatto and his disingenuously tearful tour of his late wife’s estate in The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield. Hargitay only solidifies that image here as Prof. Herbert Lyutak, a perverse sex maniac employed as a criminal psychologist. Polselli keeps the sleaze factor high throughout, notably in some psychedelic nightmare sequences featuring Lyutak’s fantasies of torturing nude women in his basement and in the murder of [the prostitute], which features some fairly graphic whipping and kinky sexual allusions.
There’s also lesbianism, strangulation, and an interesting synth-rock score by Gianfranco Reverberi to keep viewers interested, and the ultimate conclusion is — in keeping with the title — a delirious, bloody battle between three psychopaths in a cellar. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Giorgio Dolfin … Slim boy in the village

Plot/Synopsis:

Torso is an example of the Italian giallo genre; stylish suspense thrillers which flourished in the ’60s and ’70s, and paved the way for American films like Halloween and Friday the 13th. Directors like Mario Bava (Black Sunday) and producers like Carlo Ponti (Dr. Zhivago) are famed for this genre. Ponti teamed with director Sergio Martino (Screamers) for this tale of a killer targeting four nubile college coeds in a villa. If this sounds trite and overdone, remember that films like this are the ones that created the genre, and this one is surprisingly well done. The film crackles with suspense, especially during the last 30 minutes. The film also has the Euro attitude toward nudity, with plenty of nude beauties running around. ~ dvdverdict.com
