Super Inframan

Super Inframan (1975)
Director: Shan Hua
Starring: Danny Lee
Personal Rating: 4/5

"It's pint-sized Godzillas fighting a Chinese, armored, knight warrior in one of Hong Kong's most fantastical films ever in The Super Inframan. Mixing motorbike shenanigans with mind-boggling fight choreography, a young Danny Lee (internationally known from John Woo's The Killer), must save the earth from legions of demons and monsters from the Earth's center led by the blonde-haired, Demon Princess. Watch for great cinematography by He Lan-shan who did Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon."

Don't Answer The Phone

Don't Answer The Phone (1980)
Director: Robert Hammer
Starring: Nicholas Worth
Personal Rating: 3/5

"This mix of drama, camp, and brutal violence is anchored by the performance of Nicholas Worth. Worth plays Kurt Smith, a sweaty, balding maniac who strangles women with a stocking, raping and mutilating them during and after death. A Vietnam veteran, Smith prowls the streets of Hollywood posing as a photographer, then sells his violent porn to sleazy smut-peddler Sam (Porky's star Chuck Mitchell). At home, Smith lifts weights and tells off his dead father, whose abuse was obviously one cause of his mania. Sometimes he calls the radio show of psychiatrist Lindsey Gale (Flo Gerrish), posing as a Puerto Rican named Ramon and asking for advice about his headaches. Dedicated cop McCabe (James Westmoreland) has no luck solving the case until Smith murders one of Dr. Gale's patients, in an unforgivably sick scene. The patient (Paula Warner) was molested by her father, which Smith overhears. When he breaks into her house that night, Smith ties her up while cooing, "Daddy loves his little girl," and pouring hot wax on her as she cries into her teddy-bear." © Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Prime Evil

Prime Evil (1988)
Director: Roberta Findlay
Starring: William Beckwith, Christine Moore, Mavis Harris
Personal Rating: 1/5

"A Satanic offshoot of the Catholic church has been operating since the 1500s, led by a renegade priest named Thomas Seaton (William Beckwith). The members can earn immortality if they sacrifice a blood relation every 13 years, and soon it will be time for George Parkman (Max Jacobs) to renew his bond with Lucifer. Parkman's intended victim is his virginal granddaughter Alexandra (Christine Moore), though her fiancĂ© Bill (Tim Gail) is suspicious of the intentions of the old man and his lecherous friend Father Seaton. Oblivious to the danger, Alexandra rejects Bill's concern as jealousy. After her mother dies under suspicious circumstances, Alexandra moves in with her grandfather and falls further under the evil priest's spell, never suspecting that she's being prepared for a Winter Solstice sacrifice to Satan. However, the Catholic church is aware of the sinister cult's plans and a young nun has infiltrated their ranks in an effort to smash their blasphemies once and for all." -© Fred Beldin, All Movie Guide

Masked Avengers

Masked Avengers (1981)
Director: Chang Cheh
Starring: Phillip Kwok, Chiang Sheng,
Personal Rating: 4/5

"The "godfather of the kung-fu film," Chang Cheh, started a winning streak by making the internationally renowned The Five Venoms. He followed that hit with many more high-flying "bloody good" entertainments featuring the same cast in new roles. But of all the "Venom" movies, this one stands out as perhaps the most chilling. Masked killers are wreaking havoc and instilling terror with their vicious weapons of choice: razor-sharp, gut-shattering tridents. Only three fearless fighters dare investigate, leading to mass murder and magnificent martial arts." © Xploited Cinema

Killer's Moon

Killer's Moon (1978)
Director: Alan Birkinshaw
Starring: Anthony Forrest, Tom Marshall
Personal Rating: 1.5/5

"Killer's Moon is Britain's answer to I Spit On Your Grave only sleazier. Produced in the late seventies it mixes lurid scenes of rape with Clockwork Orange Droog style menace, drugs and dollops of ultra violence all of which combined make this a true 'video nasty'. Centered on four drugged-up escaped prisoners whose only purpose in life is to 'loot, kill and rape' and who in true exploitation style seek refuge in the nearest girls school Killer's Moon starts off mired in sleaze and stays there."
