¬2
Written By MCA/Vicious
¬1
A second helping of gory, unlikely or
extreme films.
Movies covered this issue are:
¬3Maniac
¬2Zombi Holocaust/Dr.Butcher M.D(Medical
Deviate)
¬3City of the Living Dead/Gates of
Hell/Paura Nella Citta dei Morti
Viventi
¬2The House by the Cemetery
¬1
(Release Name in Europe/U.S.Release
Name/Foreign Language original name)
¬3 MANIAC
¬2 ------
¬1A guy, suffering from a lousy
childhood, confines himself in killing
models and scalping them afterwards.
After each murder, he talks to his
modeldolls and treats them the way his
mother treated him.
¬2Comment:¬1
This is not the strongest storyline
I've seen and boring at some times.
For those who like their cult with
non-stop gore, this is not the one for
you. Although, the ones who don't
mind could do worse than give this a
watch. The special effects are of a
very high Tom Savini standard. He
also plays a small part where his head
gets shot off in slow motion. But,
for those who are blessed with a
fastforward button are advised to use
it. Directed by William Lustig
¬3 ZOMBI HOLOCAUST
¬2 ---------------
¬1The U.S. release version has been
renamed to Dr.Butcher M.D.(Medical
Deviate) which is a more appropriate
title. An expedition to a far away
island turns out to be inhabited by
native cannibals. A doctor slices
every victim and implants the brains
of a living person in it, so the
victim can work like a slave (the
zombies).
¬2Comment:¬1
Another flush-it-down-the-toilet
storyline with some Dawn of the Dead
like special effects. Especially the
cannibal scenes are gory. You won't
have to fastforwind 'coz the movie
keeps going and really does not become
a bore after an hour. Recommended to
the gore-fiends. Directed by Frank
Martin (dubbed in English)
¬3 CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD
¬2 -----------------------
¬1An original story from H.P. Lovecraft
has been filmed as COTLD. A priest
hangs himself in the city of Dunwich,
hereby opening the gates to hell. A
book tells that on a special day, when
the gates are opened, the dead will
walk. This happens eventually. But
not the way you think it will.
¬2Comment:¬1
The first real Italian film with a
little atmosphere. Effects are few
which makes this a must for those who
like their cult with a little less
gore. The small amount of zombies and
the nice maggotstorm should be enough
to excite the gore lovers. Not bad.
Directed by Lucio Fulci (dubbed in
English)
¬3 THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY
¬2 -------------------------
¬1The new inhabitants of a house come
across some strange goings on
concerning the old owners. There is a
strange zombie in the cellar who
gradually kills everyone who comes
around.
¬2Comment:¬1
Another Italian gore masterpiece. The
story is weak again but this is
compensated by the special effects.
Again Lucio Fulci's standard actress
Katharine McColl stars in this one and
of course the movie is dubbed in
English. Recommended. Directed by
Lucio Fulci (dubbed in English)
House by the cemetery is one of the
few Italian movies which are
frequently in stock in your local
rental store. Maniac is also seen a
lot.
