Dr Doom SUBS 21st Sep 2024 | | CinemaŞeytan (1974) | Rated 7/10An unofficial Turkish remake of The Exorcist.
I expected this to be entertaining but made to the same inept standard as the infamous Turkish Star Wars
The production values are actually much better and it's reasonably acted. The only bit they seem to struggle with is making decent demonic vomit - it looks like plasticine!
Well worth a watch if you're familair with the original

Dr Doom SUBS 12th Apr 2024 | | CinemaIl était Une Fois Le Diable (Devil Story) (1985) (1985) | ReviewOne of those films that's so bad that it's....AMAZING!
Yup, this one really lives up to it's cult status. The film opens with a Zombie member of the SS growling and butchering motorists but this is no straight ahead Slasher or Zombie movie. Instead it throws up a ghost pirate ship, a Mummy, a mysterious Black Cat which miaows A LOT and it repeatedly cuts to scenes of an old French fella in camouflage failing to shooting a Black horse from close range. He's either the worst shot in France or the horse has magick powers but you will never know as like everything else in the film there's NO EXPLANATION whatsoever.
Very little dialogue, very little narrative and yet this film certainly has....something!
It's also pretty damn gory and it's a mercy the low budget means the gore is more comic book than horrific otherwise the Mummy squeezing the guts out of one poor victim could really haunt you.
The repetition and the feeling that absolutely anything could happen at any point makes it a truly surreal watch.
Get some nice cheese and wine in for a French themed movie night and enjoy your Psychedelic Nightmares!!!!

Dr Doom SUBS 22nd Feb 2023 | | CinemaLipstick And Blood (1984) (1984) | Rated 2/10Absolutely dreadful zero-budget thriller without any thrills.
A loner strip club regular (played by Joseph Peters) becomes obsessed with the erotic dancer Jennie (who oddly stays fully clothed for the entire film despite numerous dance routines) until his incel rage grows and he abducts her. They then proceed to roam about to not much purpose until the shock ending which isn't much of a shock at all.
Even at 85 minuttes this film seems overlong with the only enjoyment coming from the obscure synthpop soundtrack by Field Of One.

Dr Doom SUBS 2nd Aug 2022 | | CinemaNazithon: Decadence And Destruction (2013) (2013) | Rated 3/10Somewhere there's an interesting documentary to be made about the bizarre 70s Naziploitation genre.
This is NOT that documentary, in fact it's barely a documentary at all, merely a collection of trailers introduced by a tattooed stripper.

Dr Doom SUBS 21st Jul 2022 | | CinemaDark Tower (1987) (1987) | Rated 6/10In general terms this film is a load of rubbish.
BUT time has been kind to it. The 80s synth soundtrack, the wooden performances, the shots of pre-mass tourism Barcelona - It's dum fun.
It's not for everyone but if you are a fan of trash horror then that's certainly what it is. If you are a gorehound however then you might find it a bit tame. There's not a lot of genuine horror and it has a very TV Movie feel.
