The Birth of the Devil... Bollywood style!

The Birth of the Devil… Bollywood style!

I must confess, I've been really warming to Bollywood horror of late, in particular the films by the great Ramsay brothers.
Violated Angels (1967)

Violated Angels (1967)

Violated Angels takes a similar approach to Wakamatsu's The Embryo Hunts in Secret. Both take place almost entirely in a single location, and both are viciously misanthropic.

The Murder Secret (1988)

The Murder Secret (1988)

The Savage Bees – US poster

The inherent awesomeness speaks for itself. THIS is how you make a movie poster.
