The Rape of the Vampire – French poster
I love the poster designs of Jean Rollin's early films. This poster for Rollin's debut isn't quite up there with the poster art for Fascination and The Shiver of the Vampires, but its mixture of amateur artistry and lurid imagery appeals to me.
Reverse-birthing in The Suckling
The Suckling warns against the dangers of backyard abortions when a fetus is turned into a lumbering mutant monster after being flushed down a toilet and getting smothered with toxic waste in the sewers.
Final Score (1986)
Final Score is a film on a mission. A mission to deliver more punches, kicks, broken bones, dead stuntmen and exploding houses than any other movie, and I think it might just have succeeded.
The Navy vs. the Night Monsters – US poster
Everything about The Navy vs The Night Monsters screams "ill-conceived monster movie". I'm sure at the very least it was rare to posit the navy as the hero against ungodly creatures.
Insane fight scene from Future Cops
Man, I just can't get enough of Future Cops aka Super School Overlord (1993) — Wong Jing's loving Street Fighter tribute/rip-off.
Pulgasari (불가사리 Bulgasari)
While he is the product of a deeply troubling propaganda machine, Pulgasari is more exciting monster than many of his Japanese contemporaries.
Black Crows – Czech poster
Just look at this stunning poster for the Norwegian film Black Crows. It was designed by Eva Heřmanská and embraces the hands on approach to design technique that often demarcates Eastern European poster design from this period.
Cynthia Rothrock hates kissy-fingers
"Paybacks are a bitch, aren't they, sugar?" Yes. Especially when they involve games of kissy-fingers.
Hellblock 13 (1999)
If you're a fan of Hansen or Rochon, this is a must-see, but even if you're not, you might get something out of Hellblock 13. It has everything a growing horror fan needs (albeit on a smaller scale): gore, water-soaked child-zombies, a mutant-redneck, acid-fueled bikers, and decapitation.
One on Top of the Other – US poster
We've featured many posters for Lucio Fulci films on Mondo Exploito. There's something about Fulci's work that inspires great advertisements.
Cat + Microwave
We've featured the ridiculous Devil's Woman on Mondo before, but if you needed more prompting to see this braindead classic of CAT III cinema, here's an exploding cat.
Anatomia Extinction (1995)
Anatommia Extinction is very much a film of its time portraying claustrophobia and misanthropy in a way only 1990s Japan knew how to deliver.
