| EUROPEAN TRASH CINEMA |
| |
| Rosalba Neri, Curd Jurgens |
| In Italian only. Rosalba Neri marries Curt Jurgens for his money while maintaining her young |
| stud lover on the side. When Jurgens discovers what's going on, he devises an elaborate |
| scheme to implicate them as his murderer while he actually commits suicide (that seems a little |
| extreme to me!!). At the same time he traps them in his escape proof mansion so they'll |
| slowly go crazy. And yes folks, Rosalba gets naked in this one. |
| Mimsy Farmer, Bud Spencer, Michael Brandon |
| Jeez, how long have we been waiting for this Argento film in its proper ratio? A letterboxed |
| version, fully scoped and from a film print. This is not the crummy looking, partially letterboxed |
| version from France with an english soundtrack dubbed on top of it. Mimsy Farmer give's one |
| of her great performances and it's fun watching Michael Brandon getting tormented at every |
| turn. Comes with a nice color jacket, the only down side is that the print used is a little on the |
| Francis Matthews, Katia Christine, Howard Ross |
| In Italian only. A viscious Giallo starring British actor Francis Matthews as a widower who |
| discovers his dead wife fooled around on him. When those around him turn up dead the police |
| become suspicious. Katia Christine and Howard Ross co-star. Stelvio Massi directs this bloody |
| Arthur Kennedy, Silvia Dionisio, John Richardson |
| In Italian only, letterboxed print. Violent Giallo with plentiful nudity as well. 9 people come to |
| stay on the private island of Arthur Kennedy and like an Agatha Christie novel, they are soon |
| all dying off in very bloody ways! Arthur Kennedy, Sylvia Dionisio, and John Richardson star. |
| Paul Naschy is a (wait for it!) tough cop fighting with his department over the fact that he beats |
| the shit out of his suspects. Meanwhile, a serial killer is wiping out the degenerates he finds on |
| the streets of his town. Erika Blanc co-stars as Naschy's wife (she has nude scenes) in this |
| bloody Giallo, Spanish-style |
| Carroll Baker, Jean Sorel, |
| Letterboxed print. Umberto Lenzi directed this thriller that stars Carroll Baker and Jean Sorel. |
| She's the older woman who's married to a younger man and is convinced he's trying to kill her |
| (a popular theme in Lenzi's thrillers). Uncut version with all nudity intact |
|
|
Marissa Mell, Sylva Koscina, Stephen Boyd |
|
aka TERROR IN THE DARK. For years I have had a 85 minute version of this film, here is a |
|
longer version (11 minutes) in english and letterboxed. Sylva Koscina and Marissa Mell are a |
|
lesbian couple who plot ways to kill male lovers they accumulate for their money. Stephen |
|
Boyd enters the picture and Mell's lust for him might screw everything up. Please note a small |
|
logo appears in the lower corner as this version has never been released! |
|
)- It personifies the very essence of Eurotrash. Previous English versions of this violent and |
|
sexy thriller suffered from optical censoring of all below the waist nudity (and in this film, that's |
|
almost half its running time!) since the source was Japan. Well, I have an Italian pre-record |
|
and everytime there is below the waist nudity, I edited in this version (since there's no dialogue |
|
during these scenes anyway!). So now you have the best of both worlds. Tini Cansino (the |
|
niece of Rita Hayworth) is married to a crippled writer so she goes to sex clubs and screws with |
|
any willing participant. Meanwhile, the scissor killer is mutilating the genitals of both male and |
|
female victims. Is Tini, her husband or someone else close to them the killer? Wait till you see |
|
Filippo Walter Ratti |
1976 |
|
In Italian with English subtitles, letterboxed print. It's been awhile since we had a new Giallo |
|
from the seventies appear on video, but this one, by director Filippo Walter Ratti was worth the |
|
wait! A group of family members assemble at a mansion where they soon are stalked by an |
|
eyeball snatching killer! A missing emerald also figures into this prime piece of Euro-trash. |
|
Philippe Leroy, Ivan Rassimov, Elga Andersen, Rosanna Yanni |
|
Philippe Leroy stars as a speed boat racer who is almost killed during a race due to sabotage. |
|
He sustains a head injury and so retires to his country home to recover. He suspects his wife |
|
(Elga Andersen who provides some nice nude scenes) of having an affair with his best friend |
|
(Ivan Rassimov) so he decides to begin one with a close friend (Rossana Yanni). Meanwhile, |
|
people close to the dysfunctional couple begin to be murdered in brutal ways. Is he |
|
hallucinating because of his head injuries or is someone really trying to kill him. Tonnino Ricci |
|
directs and Giorgio Gaslini contributes a classic Giallo score. |
|
Barbara De Rossi, Stephen Hatch |
|
For fans of Italian thrillers, here's the first english language appearance of this very |
|
entertaining film. Barbara De Rossi stars as women are being killed by drug dealers and |
|
Stephen (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) Hatch as the cop must try and stop the bloodbath. Nudity |
|
and violently staged murder sequences make this a winner. |
|
|
Femi Benussi stars as one of the heirs of a local drunk but very rich industrialist. When he's hit |
|
by a train it doesn't take long for his survivors to immediately start fighting over the money. |
|
Unfortunately for them, they soon begin to die off in very mysterious but gory fashion. Vittorio |
|
Sindoni directs this obscure but entertaining Italian Giallo. |
|
Letterboxed print. For fans of Erika Blanc (who recently died), the beautiful red haired sex |
|
siren, here is one of her best thrillers. She is tired of her husband and together with her lover |
|
they conspire to kill him. However, things go horribly wrong and it soon becomes a game of |
|
live or dies amongst the three. nice nudity by Blanc and one scene that's a genuine shock. |
|
Fabio testi, Anita Ekberg, Dean Reed |
|
Excellent Giallo with Fabio Testi as a psychotic rich boy always looking for victims. It also stars |
|
Anita Ekberg (before she got fat). |
|
Letterboxed print. If Alain Robbe-Grillet had gone to Italy to make a horror film, it might look |
|
something like this! The film is the debut feature of future sleazemeister, Joe D'Amato, and boy |
|
is it good. The storyline is very complex and plays with concept of time throughout. Ewa Aulin |
|
stars as a vengeful spirit out to get revenge on all those who caused her agony, including her |
|
incest-loving brother, lesbian inclined housekeeper and others. The film features lots of nudity |
|
and some VERY gory sequences |
|
Leonard Mann, Robert Webber |
|
Excellent thriller with Leonard Mann and Robert Webber as a woman is killed on a train and all |
|
the people who were in the same cabin are now becoming victims themselves. SEX and |
|
VIOLENCE in the Giallo tradition |

Bruno Mattei directs this sleazy and violent Giallo about a killer who goes around with a pair of |
|
long metal prongs which is used to plop out the eyes of his victims!!Voluptuous Monica Sellars |

|
Miles O'Keefe, Anthony Franciosa, Teresa Leopardi |
|
Italian giallo/thriller starring Miles O'Keefe and Tony Franciosa., Teresa Leopardi, and Marina |
|
Giulia Cavalli. This thriller mixes in a supernatural element to go along with the murders. A |
|
young couple witness a murder in an old chateau only to learn that no one has lived there for a |
|
long time. Is someone going to a lot of trouble to stage this or did they some how take a brief |
|
trip back in time? Franciosa has a lot of fun as the Columbo-like cop. |
|
Lili Palmer, John Moulder-Brown, Christina Galbo, Maribel Martin |
|
Here's a pristine copy of the uncut (104 minutes) Spanish horror film, THE HOUSE THAT |
|
SCREAMED. Lili Palmer stars as the headmistress at a school for bad girls. Her son (John |

|
insane killer is gutting prostitutes and any other woman he considers of loose morals (one of |
|
his victims is Maria Angela Giordan, who had her breast bitten off in BURIAL GROUND). |

Needless to say, director Mario Landi uses this setup to crank out an all-time Eurotrash classic! |

In Italian only, letterboxed print. Jean Sorel, Karin Schubert, Barbara Rey and Nadiuska star in |

Fajardo. Baker is a mute who is terrorized by a killer with weird eyes. Too bad she can't tell |
|
anyone about it! As all those around her are knifed to death, one wonders if she will survive to |
|
the end credits. Low on sleaze, this is more a Hitchcockian thriller and is a definite change of |
|
pace. Lenzi proves here he is not the hack most associate with his career. Stylish and |
|
Giancarlo Giannini, Alan Collins, Dominique Boschero, Mara Maryl |
|
In Italian with English subtitles!. Now that you have read the groundbreaking interview with |

|
Klaus Kinski, Margaret Lee |
|
aka DOUBLE FACE-This remarkable Riccardo Freda Giallo was released here in a poor quality, |

pan and scan print that was missing several nude sequences. Well not anymore as this is the |

French version with the English track laid on top (a few scenes are still in French). Kinski plays |

a rich slug whose wife enjoys the company of women more than his (ain't that a kick in the |
