giallo fever: June 2013
http://giallo-fever.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Taking 'eurotrash' seriously – but not too seriously. Monday, 24 June 2013. Abducted by the Daleks. Well, if you are familiar with any of other ‘films’ by director Don Skaro under his other pseudonym Roman Nowicki, you’ll anticipate that is is minimal. Of the Fantom Kiler. Series is not exactly known for complex plotting. Rather it is about stringing together a few scenes with the same basic slasher/porno dynamic. Woman gets naked, then woman gets killed (in the former) or fucked (in the latter). Followi...

giallo fever: Remake, Remix, Rip-Off
http://giallo-fever.blogspot.com/2015/06/remake-remix-rip-off.html
Taking 'eurotrash' seriously – but not too seriously. Thursday, 18 June 2015. Remake, Remix, Rip-Off. What does it mean to watch a Turkish version of The Exorcist, Seytan, for instance, when the religious context is that of Islam rather than Christianity? Or Dracula in Istanbul, when there is the historical context of the Ottoman Empire and the Romanian Vlad Dracul? Or a superhero romp in which Spiderman, albeit in a green and purple costume, is a sadistic killer? In sum, improvisation was the name of th...

giallo fever: November 2013
http://giallo-fever.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Taking 'eurotrash' seriously – but not too seriously. Saturday, 30 November 2013. Olney begins by this academic study by demonstrating that European horror cinema of the 60s through 80s has a surprisingly high profile amongst contemporary horror audiences. As evidence of this he cites the successful re-releases of Eurohorror by Grindhouse Releasing along with lavish DVD releases of both acknowledged genre classics such as Lucio Fulci's The Beyond. The Bird with the Crystal Plumage. The New York Ripper.

giallo fever: Makeup Room
http://giallo-fever.blogspot.com/2015/06/makeup-room.html
Taking 'eurotrash' seriously – but not too seriously. Wednesday, 24 June 2015. Makeup Room presents a classical unity of time, space and action, of one day behind the scenes on the shooting of a Japanese adult video (JAV). Most of the comedy is based around the premise that anything which can go wrong will. If it is necessarily exaggerated it also comes across as having groundings in the experiences of the filmmakers. The performers and, through this, the director’s handling impress. Even if the film is ...

Terror in the midnight sun. Monday, February 14, 2011. Colonel David F. Friedman December 24, 1923 - February 14, 2011. Born on Christmas Eve, died on Valentine's Day, and in between he lived a hundred times more than you or I will ever do.

Terror in the midnight sun. Tuesday, August 19, 2008. As you might have figured out, I am pretty particular with the link list to the right - I only link to people and products I personally endorse, and where I have some kind of relationship to the people behind it. So it takes me great pleasure to introduce the newest link (even though it has been there for a while): Peter in Stockholm's Giallo Locandine! Segment); the stylish upstart, Lucio Fulci's Perversion Story;. Posted by Lars Erik. Plus Your Vice...

giallo fever: July 2015
http://giallo-fever.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Taking 'eurotrash' seriously – but not too seriously. Sunday, 5 July 2015. Chuck Norris versus Communism. This HBO documentary, presented via Brett Ratner, presents an account of the distinctive video culture that emerged in Romania in the final years of the Ceacescu regime via a combination of interviews and reconstructions with both ordinary people and key figures in the samizdat video scene. These things said, Chuck Norris versus Communism is worth watching for anyone with an interest in global video ...
