Whats The Matter With Helen? (1971)

Ever want to see Shelly Winters as a ape-shit psychopath? Well here's your chance. This one was directed by Curtis Harrington, the same lunatic who gave us the incredibly bizarre Denis Hopper flick Night Tide. He also went on to do a bunch of odd television movies like Killer Bees and Devil Dog : The Hound From Hell.

Whats The Matter With Helen? plays like a typical Harrington flick in the sense that its weird enough to hold your attention but its a little on the soft side as if it was intended to be acceptable for television. For this reason alone the film gets knocked down a few pegs. Everybody knows that a good horror flick is trashy and gritty. This film is more of a thriller then a horror movie and is slightly to classy for its own good. Whats The Matter With Helen isn't exactly a bad movie. The characters are well enough developed and the story is interesting enough to hold the attention of the average mongoloid. Its just to bad that they didn't go down the stalk and slash route. Instead this movie plays like a less memorable version of Misery.

This one tells of two women who's sons committed a brutal murder and are arrested by the police. There are some angry people amongst the towns folk who want revenge and who better to take it out on then the mothers of the murdering bastards. The two women take off for Hollywood where they will change they're identities and open up a dance school for young talent. It is then that the two women learn how different they really are. Shelly Winters plays the hyper religious Helen and yes there is something the matter with her. Debbie Reynolds plays the glamorous blond who is as obsessed with the high life as Helen is in the lord. They continue to be stalked and its not long before they become murderers themselves. We get a twist ending that really isn't all that satisfying and a pretty downbeat climax.

The film offers up stabbings, a rabbit massacre (complete with lots of fluffy, white bunnies with their throats slit), a man is pushed into some sharp blades on a old time gardening vehicle (complete with red stuff), we have achy-breaky skulls in a scene where a man is pushed down the stairs and we get plenty of mental health issues from Shelly Winters.

Not the worst thing you could watch but only recommended for people who prefer classy thriller type movies over sleazy horror flicks from the 70's. For more trashy time with chubby-slasher-mamma's you could always try Crazy Fat Ethel.

Santo And The Diabolical Brain (1963)

Here is another ridiculous early attempt at a Lucha Libre film. In this Mexican wrestling romp two detectives disguise themselves as cowboys and take off to a dangerous village that is run by criminals in search of Virginia. Virginia left her boy friend (one of the detectives) and is shacking up with the leader of a violent gang.

Where does Santo fit into this you might ask... Well nothing really quite fits in with this movie. Things seem to happen for no apparent reason and overly it doesn't make much sense. Santo however does appear before long. He is yet again working with the police and when the detectives blow their cover Santo comes to the rescue. The first time he appears is great and has to be seen to be believed. The villagers see Santo standing at the top of the stairs in his spandex, cape and signature silver mask and all at once yell out "SANTO". Our wrestling super hero does some fast driving in the expected car chase scenes but for an added bonus we get to see Santo ride a horse. Santo beats the shit out of anybody who gets in his path and it makes for a pretty entertaining flick. He also stops a airplane from taking off with the use of his muscles only. This is quite the spectacle and bound to get a chuckle from anyone who can appreciate these cheesy little action flicks.

You should be warned that there is absolutely no Diabolical Brain in this movie and it shouldn't be confused for one of the Santo horror flicks like Santo Vs. The Zombies or Santo And Blue Demon Vs. Doctor Frankenstein. Instead we have typical western villain with some huge bulging eye balls. However we do have a torture scene in which our two detectives have their heads crushed with rope and sticks? However my favorite moments shows one of our detectives pretending to fight as he watches giant brawls go on around him. We also have some kinky spankings at the end of the film. Despite the lack of a Diabolical Brain this one is slightly more entertaining then most of the early Santo flicks. Fans wont be disappointed.

Monster On Campus (1958)

Jack Arnold is one of the best horror/sci-fi directors of the 50's. Responsible for classics such as Creature From The Black Lagoon and Tarantula. Monster On The Campus comes one year after The Incredible Shrinking Man but unlike The Shrinking Man, Monster On Campus is a bit more violent.

By no means can one take any of these silly 50's monster movies seriously but this one is just a touch more violent then most. The monster pulls women by the hair and throws them around. Then there is also the fact that our monster chooses a hatchet as a weapon of choice and in the films greatest moment the short handled axe is embedded into a mans face. Ouch! The scene comes complete with a bit of gore and the camera tends to linger on the corpse with the hatchet wedged into the achy-breaky skull for just a moment more then would be expected.

On the other hand this one tends to bore a bit in the earlier half with far to much dialogue and silly chit-chat about "Mans inner beast" and all that nonsense. The story itself is kind of dumb but when it comes time for all out monster mayhem it all becomes worth while.

For those of you who would like to become a axe wielding monster some day, all you have to do is mix the blood of a prehistoric fish with some ultra violet rays and blam! You will be a hairy ape-man with a lust for blood and blond chicks before you know it. We also have some really funny pieces of dialogue that may or may not have been intentionally humorous. Monster On Campus is no where near the best from Jack Arnold but fans of this type of movie could do a lot worse.

The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)

50's science fiction and horror films have this certain charm to them. They can be so fun. Filled with monsters, giants, killer animals and in this case very, very little people but they are almost wholesome at the same time. Perhaps it was the innocence of that decade or was it just a break from the more serious horror films of the 30's? What ever it was it is pretty hard to not love these movies.

Horror veteran Jack Arnold whose titles consist of such classics as Creature From The Black Lagoon, Tarantula, Revenge Of The Creature, Monster On Campus and even Boss Nigger directs this timeless classic about a man who is subjected to some radio activity and shrinks little by little every day until he is to small to even defend himself against a small insect. The theory was brilliant and probably as fun to play with special effects wise as was The Invisible Man in the 30's. Of course competitors would follow up quickly with a tale about an incredible growing man only months later with The Amazing Colossal Man but it is this movie that put giants and midgets on the sci-fi map.

You really have to give these film makers credit. As ludicrous as the idea seems you really buy in to it due to how well and proportioned The Incredible Shrinking Man turned out in the end. The scene where our little man who is now living in a child's doll house is attacked by a regular house cat is amazing. They make this cat look like Godzilla compared to our main character and it really does work.

We also have the unforgettable fight scene between The Shrinking Man and a spider. The Shrinking Man uses a sewing needle as a sword and it makes for one hell of a fight. The film is also jam packed with other obstacles for our small man to overcome. A spilled drink is like swimming across a river and climbing up stairs is out of the question. A must see for anyone who digs these crazy 50's sci-fi flicks. Watch him now until he is to small to find!

Penitentiary 2 (1982)

Fans of the first movie should be prepared to be let down. Penitentiary 2 really just doesn't hold up to the original. Too Sweet is on parole and doing the best he can at a dead end job to keep out of trouble and stay far away from the big house. The last thing he wants is to end up in the same hell hole that he fought for his life in Penitentiary but sure enough Too Sweet gets the short end of the stick yet again and is convinced to go back to boxing.

This time with Mr. T in his corner Too Sweet is forced to fight one of his old prison enemies. This time around the enemy is played by a completely different actor. Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters puts on a clown wig and kills Too Sweet's girlfriend. Its pretty obvious what goes on from here. We get some vengeance and some boxing but the general story is weak in comparison to the first film as is the fight scenes.

On a more positive note we get a crazy little midget who brings some entertainment to the screen and Hi-Fi the drag queen shows up again for some more cross dressing madness. I am yet to see the third film in the Peniteentiary series but I hear that its not much better then this waste of time. Stick with the first film for some bad-ass boxing, psycho jail-birds and some slick dialogue.

Horror Hospital (1973)

Horror Hospital is a twisted British gem from the 70's. Sleaze wise it falls in the ranks of Peter Walker films and even stars a Walker familiar (Robin Askwith) from The Flesh And Blood Show. This time Askwith plays a long haired rocker named Jason who is off for some sun and fresh air on what the English call a holiday. In fact it is a "Hairy holiday" as it is advertised in the film. A holiday for the youth. The only problem is Jason doesn't get much relaxation. Instead he ends up in a strange hotel with a lunatic scientist that must have got his schooling from Dr. Frankenstein.

Before Jason's arrival at the Horror Hospital he meets up with a sexy young British slag named Judy. Don't worry guys the VHS box doesn't lie. Judy gets naked in a gratuitous shower scene that comes complete with bush and a typical horror film jump-scare.

Michael Gough (Legend Of Hell House) plays the mad scientist who practices his absurd brain surgery on the youth and makes them into his own instruments of pleasure. Of course they are in a zombie like state and not to pretty to look at. They come complete with white face paint and big scars down their forehead's where the scalpel ripped the flesh. We also have a bunch of guys running around in leather motorcycle gear, complete with boots, helmet and leather jackets. These guys serve as body guards for wheelchair ridden Michael Gough. Was Michael Gough actually in a wheel chair in 1973? I find it odd that he is cripple in both Hell House and Horror Hospital. We also get a midget-slave and a monster running around for added fun. The midget serves as pure entertainment in what was supposed to be comical scenes but I find it pretty funny when he is whipped in the face with a riding crop.

While I wouldn't exactly call Horror Hospital a splatter film it is pretty gory. We have open brain surgery, an axe to the head and multiple decapitations from a unproportioned and completely ridiculous contraption that is built into the doctors car. The car comes complete with giant switchblades that pop out from the side of the car and sears heads off. The severed heads land perfectly into a basket that is also hanging from the car. We also have a pretty nasty burn victim and a zombie meltdown as well. Horror Hospital also goes under titles such as Computer Killers, Doctor Bloodbath, Dr. Frankensteins Horrorklinik, and many other foreign titles. I however prefer Horror Hospital since that is how I first saw it in the VHS days. Directed by Anthony Balch the same madman who gave us the incredibly strange Bizarre Secrets Of Sex, or the artsy-fartsy Towers Open Fire and the annoyingly awesome The Cut Ups with William S. Burroughs. Anybody familiar with Balch's work would know that Horror Hospital is going to be a weird one and a must see. Check it out for a trashy good time with gore, monsters and midgets.

Chinese Connection (1972)

Chinese Connection also known as Fist Of Fury, not to be mistaken for Fists Of Fury which is The Big Boss comes out one year after the success of The Big Boss. With Bruce Lee becoming a rising star in Hong Kong it was absolutely necessary for Lee to do another film.

Bruce plays a martial artist who is distraught over his teachers death. When he learns that the Japanese are responsible for the murder of his beloved teacher he makes a vow to kill them all off on his own.

This in its self is quite the stretch from The Big Boss. If you remember correctly in that film Lee swears to a passive lifestyle until he is forced to break it at the end. Fortunately for us there is much more Bruce Lee kung fu from early on but on a down note The Chinese Connection is nowhere near as graphically violent as its predecessor . There certainly isn't much gore on display and it also lacks in the nudity department. For these reasons I think I prefer the more exploitative Big Boss but The Chinese Connection is still an okay watch for Bruce Lee's presence alone.

There are a bunch of typically goofy moments that come complete with bad dubbing, not the best of acting and a classic scene that shows Lee twisting his foot on an enemies head as if he were putting out a cigarette. We also get the famous hypnotic scene where Lee moves his arms about and leaves psychedelic trails for our viewing pleasure.

Woman Of Vengeance (1971)

This is one hell of a choppy and grainy watch. Woman Of Vengeance is available as a double feature with Slave Girls Of The S.S.. Both of these movies are pretty much beaten to hell but Woman Of Vengeance really takes the cake.

I'm sure this thing didn't look all that good on its release in the 70's but the dvd is hard to even see what is going on. There are moments that are completely white. Especially the scenes that take place outdoors. These scenes are painful to watch. You might be better off looking at a white wall for a few minutes. It is loaded with burps and skips and the audio is pretty bad as well.

The story isn't all that great either but there is some amusing dialogue. Story goes something like this. Man hates wife. Wife hates man. Man cheats on wife with Rene Bond. Wife cheats on husband with his best friend. Wife hires man to kill husband. Husband kills them both. The scene where the hitman is supposed to kill the husband is ridiculous. Its hard to see what happens because it is so white but it looks like the hitman falls down a hill and accidentaly shoots himself. The husband then kills his wife and her lover with the old toaster in the bathtub gag.

Rene Bond looks pretty good and offers up a couple of sex scenes but that is really all that this XXX piece of 70's smut has to offer

Dead Next Door (1989)

People really love to shit on this low budget zombie flick. I myself wasn't the biggest fan when I first saw it years back but I must admit this 8mm gore flick has grown on me.

Sure its silly, horribly acted, horribly dubbed and just looks generally cheap but I believe these are the films strong points. I love the gritty look of the 8mm film and the gore is pretty fun too. If only we had some what of an interesting story I would be able to give The Dead Next Door much more praise.

A militant group cheesily named "The Zombie Squad" take to the road for a scientific research team. They collect zombies and bring them back for testing in hope of a cure. Of course our Zombie Squad spends more time killing the undead bastards off then collecting them but that is besides the point. They also threw in a pretty dumb and pointless subplot about a bunch of religious weirdos who think the zombies are a gift from god and that rapture is here.

I say it is dumb but that is what would probably happen in a real zombie apocalypse situation. Religious maniacs would probably be roaming the streets with the walking dead, looking to sacrifice normal thinking folk to the zombie-gods or something.

Anyway, this thing is loaded with cool gore gags. Heads are blown off (complete with red splatter), fingers are bitten off, achy-breaky skulls are dissected (complete with leaking brains), necks are bitten, machete's are pushed through torso's. We have a grenade shoved into a mouth and a big bloody explosion. Its pretty obvious that the film makers were die-hard horror fanatics. The film pays homage to Evil Dead and Sam Raimi, George A. Romero, Steven King, Tom Savini and others.

Dead Next Door gets to much flack from those who need polished horror movies. Its a million times better then the shit that comes out today and its a fun watch. Wear a raincoat because the blood rains in buckets in this one.

Touch Of Evil (1958)

You can only sit through so much trash until you go back to Orson Welles. Touch Of Evil is cinematic brilliance from opening title to end credits. The establishing shot is one of the most elaborate I have ever seen. Some might call it pretentious but I call it eye-candy.

Charlton Heston plays a Mexican cop (and pulls it off) and Orson Welles plays an American cop with some social issues. When a bomb goes off on the border of Mexico and the U.S. Heston and Welles bump heads in their different tactics to track down the killer.

Janet Leigh plays Heston's wife and she gets caught up in a personal vendetta against her husband. The twists and turns are as innovated as the movement of the camera work its self.

Touch Of Evil runs a bit on the long side but never really gets boring or tired due to the masterful craftsmanship that went into this production. Welles is undoubtedly a genius and it is to bad that America will probably never know another writer, director, producer and actor quite like him.

Where are the Welles and the Hitchcock's of today? Most certainly not working in Hollywood, that's for sure.

There are some real heart pounding moments in this Noir flick. We have murder, juvenile delinquents, a good cop, a bad cop, drug use, excessive drinking, top of the line acting and a great story to go with the amazing cinematography. Fans of Citizen Kane should check this one out. Its bound to keep you at the edge of your seat.

She'll Do Alright (198?)

 A french maid (Julia Perrir) comes to America in this euro-trash flick to make some money and learn how to speak English. She is transferred from house to house until she meets John Leslie and falls in love. There is very little plot going on in this softcore pornographic comedy but She'll Do All Right still manages to be funny. With extremely sleazy characters and crazy shenanigans make this one a fast paced good time.

Julia Perrir looks great and she has a couple of really hot moments. One particularly in front of a mirror. I always love me some mirror porn. Then we have these wacky scenes of old people being pervy. An old man gets a tit job. Another old man lives with hundreds of cats and steals lingerie. Then we have an old couple who reads porno zines while screwing.

I have never seen the hardcore version of this movie and doubt it makes it much better. I do know it is part of an Uncle Farts 4 feature film set which also sports the unwatchable Involuntary Bird. Thank the pron-gods for filthy cartoons and rare little forgotten gems like this. Filled to the brim with artsy-fartsy euro-shots and plenty of hairy beaver. Its a smut-fest to entertain some friends with.

The Mutilator (1985)

You don't pick a movie like The Mutilator out because you are looking for something in high art. You picked this one because you wanted a cheesy 80's slasher film filled with senseless violence and over the top gore. Well that's pretty much what you get here.

The first time I saw this movie I wasn't the biggest fan. That was due to the fact that it was cut to pieces with the majority of the red stuff cut out. Now that I have finally seen this thing fully intact I can at least appreciate the gore factor.

The Mutilator also known as Fall Break falls into a certain slasher sub category for me along with movies like Nightmare In A Damaged Brain where they almost start to get annoying after a while and you just await the next murder scene. This would usually mean that the movie isn't any good but it almost works in the benefit of the film because when you actually get the murder (depending on how gory it is) it is usually that much more satisfying. So if it wasn't for the absurd amount of gore these movies wouldn't be worth a shit. They don't work alone the way a movie like Halloween or Black Christmas works.

This one follows the oh so familiar slasher formula of five teenagers on a vacation in a vacant cabin. They start getting knocked off one by one by the demented father of one of the teenagers.
We get one scene of nudity and the rest of the time we are forced to look at some of the worst dressed women I have ever seen.
Luckily for us most everybody dies in a gruesome fashion. One girl has a giant hook shoved up her vagina and it comes out somewhere from her mid torso. Another guy is chopped and sawed to bits with something that resembles a chainsaw. Bodies are cut in half and heads go-a-rollin. One of the most effective gore scenes shows a cigarette lighter melting away the flesh on a hand. Nasty! Throats are slit and spikes are run through achy-breaky skulls. We get one dead cop and another has his leg chopped off.

The Mutilator comes complete with a totally twisted ending. It really has to be seen to be believed. I think aside from the hook in the vagina the opening and the ending are the two best moments in the film. The mid section is filled with annoying actors and a really shitty song that plays way to many times for its own good. Only recommended for gore hounds and slasher obsessed maniacs.

Involuntary Bird (1971)

Involuntary Bird is the worst of the worst. Virtually unwatchable. You are gonna need a room full of friends and an alcoholic beverage of choice to make it through this shit-fest. The print that I saw seems to be missing lots of footage (thank god) with a nonsensical plot and softcore sex scenes. There is an instrumental version of the song You Make Me So Very Happy and an instrumental version of a song from Hair. This thing can be found on Uncle Farts Dirty Movie Theater along with three other shitty movies. If it wasn't for the antics of Uncle Farts this movie just wouldn't serve a purpose at all. Similar to some of those Mystery Science Theater 3000 flicks.

Johnny Wadd (1971)

This VCX release of Johnny Wadd is a gift from the porn-gods. This of course being the very first film in the John C. Holmes as Johnny Wadd series and at one time was the rarest and hardest of all Wadd films to find. Thank you VCX and Bob Chin for this amazing print. It's amazing how well Johnny Wadd was actually preserved. The dvd comes with trailers, a Bob Chin interview and a directors commentary as well.

I have read complaints about this film from others on the Internet. These people are a drag. Sure the plot is paper thin. Of course there is not much production value but take it as the novelty that it is. Its the first fucking Johnny Wadd movie! Besides, since this thing was shot before pornography wasn't even legal in this country it had to be rushed. Filmed in one day and cut together in about three it is a pretty good movie for what it is.

Johnny Wadd starts a new case in search of a rich missing girl. The sister of the m.i.a. girl pays Mr. Wadd one thousand dollars to find her sister but Johnny demands a bit more as incentive. The girl blows him and lets him dip his rocket into her beaver. I have never seen John Holmes as erect as he is in this scene. Mr. 15 & 1/2 is bigger then ever and ready to fill some holes. Next Johnny meets some hippie babe who calls her pussy a "bird"? This girl pays Wadd two thousand dollars to drop the case. She also lets Johnny get some "bird". Johnny ignores the hippie and meets with a "junkie who needed a fix" for some inside info. The junkie claims that the missing girls mother is the one responsible. Naturally Wadd meets with the girls mother and once she is threatened she pays Wadd five thousand dollars, sucks his dick and lets him stick a bottle in her pussy. This is the most disturbing scene in the whole movie because the woman in the sex scene is a senior citizen and pretty fucking hideous. I'm sure she is dead by now but if not I would like to kick her in the cunt for making me sit through that scene. All I could think to myself was poor John Holmes. He looks so upset. Needless to say his giant penis didn't show the same enthusiasm from the first scene. Guess he lucked out with that coke bottle.
Next we get a rape scene from our villain and of course Johnny Wadd saves the day. He also gets some pussy from the kidnapped babe.

Every sex scene with the exception of one takes place on the same couch. It is obvious that they were moving very fast when filming this thing. Johnny Wadd does four girls. Sort of... and we get some cool music behind it. Apparently this was another that at one time had the music from The Good The Bad And The Ugly but VCX actually took it out for once and the score that is in place now is actually really nice. A must have for all John Holmes collectors.

Swastika In The Hole (195?)

Now this is one of the weirdest things I have seen in a while. I can't find any information about the film on the Internet except for one guy claiming that it is from 1943. This I find a bit hard to believe but by the clothes and hair style I would guess it is from the early to mid 50's.

This short 9 min. stag film shows a man in a very realistic Adolf Hitler mask enjoying a strip tease from a fine looking Fraulein. The stripper removes Hitler's shirt and he has a giant swastika on his back. Next she removes his pants and his tight white underwear has a little swastika on them too (I couldn't help but be reminded of Sid Vicious in The Great Rock & Roll Swindle). Then she pulls Adolf ole boys Johnson out and puts a condom on for him. Yep you guessed it... The rubber has a swastika printed on it. Next Hitler looses his erection and he picks up a hand gun and blows his brains out. Not only is this thing strange but it is even shot well which makes me think it my be frome Europe. Artsy camera work isn't something you usually see in American stag films.

This is one of the best novelty stag films I have ever picked up. Its not very sexy and I am not sure what it is all supposed to mean or if it is in fact supposed to mean anything. I don't even know what country this thing came from. Either way this is an awesome relic and I am proud to own a copy of it, even if it is on some shitty dvd.

If you love weird stags and loops check this thing out. It is available as an extra on After Hours Cinema's release of Sex Slaves Of The S.S.

Nightmare In A Damaged Brain (1981)

Nightmare also known as Nightmare In A Damaged Brain is one of those infamous big-boxed video nasties from the 80's. Its loaded with gore and other tasteless happenings.

The early 80's of course was the high point for slasher films. They were gruesome and gory and that's why we love them. While equally disturbing slash-em-up flicks like Maniac and Prowler have long ago had they're very own quality release, Nightmare ran the bootleg circuit at horror conventions. I myself am yet to see a nice cleaned up print of this thing. I have seen an old vhs copy and bootleg copies from the vhs days which just further blur the insane bloodletting out. Either way Nightmare In A Damaged Brain is a fun watch and one can't help but get nostolgic while watching it. Why can't they make quick, nasty little gems like this anymore? It really is a thing of the past and it is to bad.

Nightmare follows a young man in a mental ward who is having some very nasty dreams. Or are they flashbacks? About his childhood. He walks in on his mom and pop while they are indulging in some kinky S&M. I guess the role-play is what damaged his brain... Naturally the disturbed young boy runs out to the shed, grabs an axe and hacks his parents to bits in bloody detail. The doctors keep him hopped up on pills and its not long before our madman is on the loose and killing young sluts on 42nd street. He eventually makes his way down to Florida to finish off the rest of his family in true Halloween fashion.

The truth is the movie is kind of slow going until our killer has his final showdown in the FL. house. This is when the gore really picks up and we have a total blood bath on our hands. Our killer strangles a young boy (Awesome!), Slits some throats (complete with gurgling gore), goes axe crazy (complete with decapitation), Next he buries the axe in a achy-breaky skull (complete with tons of splatter), we also have a claw hammer through a hand and a gun happy little boy (lots of gory bullet wounds). There is also a character who looks a lot like Tommy Chong and he even says "Mellow out" in a very much called for piece of dialogue. There is some typical babysitter neglect followed by sex and a bit of tit to keep the earlier slow parts moving.

Nightmare In A Damaged Brain is a must own for all slasher fanatics and splatter hounds alike! Its fucking gory! Fans of this movie are sure to like the Spanish slasher Pieces.

Witchery (1988)

This Italian witch-flick is definitely not Susperia. Linda (Exorcist) Blair is pregnant and off to a remote island to check out the new house that her family is investing in. The local legend is that the house is haunted by an evil witch. This of course turns out to be true. When Blair and her family arrive at the haunted house they bump into David (Knight Rider) Hasselhoff and his virgin girlfriend who have been loitering at the house and taking pictures of the strange phenomenon and bizarre happenings on the island. Its not long before we get a bunch of silly Witchery and other unexplained evil happenings.

Not only is Linda Blair pregnant in this one but Witchery is from what I refer to as the Linda Blair shoulder-pad years. This thing came out the same year as Blair's Grotesque and it looks like she lifted the shitty wardrobe right out of that movie. In other words she wears giant bulky clothing and is totally unattractive in this movie. If you are looking for sexy Linda Blair, stick with Savage Streets or Chained Heat but there will be no boobage on display from a witchy Blair. On the other hand her giant 80's hair gets even bigger as the film goes on and it becomes more and more obvious that she is in fact a witch herself. Witchery was also marketed as Ghousthouse 2 but apparently has nothing to do with the first Ghoshouse film. I personally have not seen the procedor so I can not judge.

What I do know is that if Ghousthouse is half as bad as Witchery I never want to see it. We do get some bare breasts is a ghost rape scene which naturally reminded me of The Entity. We also have a woman who has her lips sewn shut and a another murder that shows a girl impaled on a swordfish statue in true Abominable Dr. Phibes fashion. The best moment of gore involves some voodoo doll antics and a man spewing blood from multiple stab wounds.

This thing also comes complete with an Exorcist ripoff ending with a possessed Linda Blair leaping to her death from a window. Oh and Hasselhoff also meets a bloody end when he has a candle stick shoved through his torso. A candle stick? Ill stick with Susperia for a much better witchy time from Italy.
