August 2009 Movie Recommendations


Veerana (1988)


Here is my top ten movies I have seen in August. I also put some information with them about there releases.


I have seen a lot of movies in August so it was quite hard to pick just ten, because I have seen a lot of great ones. I tried to put them in order but for example Contamination could as well be number five and Mausoleum six. But all ten are great!

10. Nightmare (1981). Early eighties slasher flick with some psychological twists and some killer special effects. All though the credits say they are done by Tom Savini, they are not but believe me they are great. (VHS, but Code Red is working on it)

9. Sexo Cannibal aka Devil Hunter (1980) Really fun take on the Cannibal genre by Jesus Franco. Release: Severin Films, again a great release from Severin. Video and Audio are both great and there is a nice interview with Jesus (Jess) Franco on there.

8. Mondo Cane (1962) The first of the Jacopetti Mondo films. Great look into many aspects of life, death sex but also fun things. Don’t expect a shocking film, but back in 1962 it might have been shocking. But still a superb Mondo film. Release: There are more then one release of this movie. I have the Blue Underground DVD witch I recommend.

7. Phase IV (1974) Great killer ant movie, with some amazing shots of ants. Really clever movie that keeps exiting until the credits are popping up. Release: Legend Films. The quality of the DVD is good but it doesn’t have any special features.

6. Contamination (1980) Luigi Cozzi’s Alien film. The film has everything you want from an Alien film. Gore, exploding bodies, alien eggs and a great ending! The Soundtrack is done by Goblin, witch makes the movie even better. Release: I would go for the Blue Underground release. It contains an interview with Luigi Cozzi, a behind the scenes documentary, a theatrical trailer, poster & still gallery and a DVD-Rom graphic novel.

5. Mausoleum (1983) Great Grindhouse flick about a demon possession witch leads to some suspenseful action and some great gore scenes and make-up effects. Release: BCI/Eclipse. It’s on a Exploitation Cinema Double Feature with the movie Blood Song (1982). It’s especially fun when you watch it all at once and you really get the Grindhouse feeling. It does contain a Audio Commentary with Bobbie Bresee.

4. Malabimba The Malicious Whore (1979) Sleaze in its purest form. It’s about a girl named Bimba who gets possessed by a passed away relative that is obsessed with sex. So a lot of softcore porn, possession and a good soundtrack. Release: Severin Films first released the XXX black cased DVD in 2007 but after a year it got withdrawn from the market. In February of 2009 Severin came with a new red cased DVD witch didn’t contain the insert hardcore porn. The Disc also contains some nice special features.


3. Troll 2 (1990) Claudio Fragasso made one of the best of the bad back in 1990, Troll 2. The movie is so damn entertaining and makes me laugh so many times you can’t hardly believe it! I really want a potato sack Goblin costume! Release: Released on a MGM Double Feature DVD with Troll 1. Nothing special but at least you have the movie.

2. Veerana (1988) Bollywood horror at it’s best. You have everything that you can wish for. Indonesian music, great make up, some goofy scenes and I really loved the gothic land houses and foggy cemetery’s. Release: It’s on the Bollywood Horror Collection Volume 2 together with Purani Haveli witch is another Ramsay brothers film. The video & audio quality are superb.

1. The Warrior (1981) Also known as Jaka Sembung. The Warrior is played by 80’s action star Barry Prima. This movie combines magic, horror, fantasy and Martial Arts into one entertaining movie. There are a lot of memorable scenes in this movie especially in the fighting scenes Ki Item! So if Martial Arts, gore, Magic, fantasy and horror are your thing. Go get the DVD from Mondo Macabro. Release: Mondo Macabro released it on DVD, it also contains some cool special features like interviews and Background information.
