Supremely dark and disturbing horror film .
In a Glass Cage has to be one of the most disturbing horror films ever made . The film is extremely intense and so incredibly depressing and powerful in its honest depiction of mankind's failure and instincts towards violence and sadism . The soundtrack is outstanding and the music alone will make the viewer speechle...

People are just imperfect corpses .
Katsuya Matsumura's " All Night Long 3 " is pretty much on the same level with " All Night Long 2 " ( 1995 ) , and has the most pessimistic tone of the whole series as it suggests that humans are nothing but filth and rubbish . Kikuo is a Japanese boy who works in a sleazy hotel where men bring women for sex . One day ...

An " Alien " rip-off-so what ? ? ?
Creature is an overlooked classic . It's scary , exciting and really gory in places . The plot is somewhat similar to " Alien " , but I don't care . I'm not asking about highly original script , I just want to be scared and entertained . Klaus Kinski is simply amazing , and he even becomes a zombie ! There's plenty o...

Classic exploitation stuff !
Here it is : the nastiest and the most notorious " Ilsa " installment . Dyanne Thorne shines as a Nazi bitch Ilsa . It's a real pleasure to see her naked in several soft core sex scenes . There are also some nasty torture scenes-the film is so beyond any taste that it's impossible not to like it . The most disturbing s...
