Mondo Exploito is on holiday!
Hey folks. Just a quick message to say Mondo Exploito is on holiday till January 26th!
Elves (1989)
If you're struggling to find a movie to watch this Christmas, ditch all the usual schmaltzy garbage and grab yourself a copy of Elves. I can almost guarantee it's the only film in existence that culminates with an elf attempting to rape the leading lady.
You’re mad, ya bastard!
Wake in Fright is so full of brilliant moments it's difficult to pinpoint only one, but this exchange towards the end of the film is pretty fantastic.
Voices from Beyond (1991)
Fulci's latter day efforts hold a special place in his filmography; their low budgets and hazy photography pushing them into an entirely new realm of weird. The best of Fulci's final work is his penultimate effort: Voices from Beyond.
The Pink Panther Strikes Again - Czech poster
I know the Pink Panther movies are a little too classy to appear on Mondo Exploito, but I couldn't help but share this scan of the Czech poster for The Pink Panther Strikes Again.
Jess Franco plays with a chicken head
I'm a huge fan of A Virgin Among the Living Dead. There are many reasons why, and one of them is the role director Jess Franco gives himself: a horrible creep whose vocal abilities consist only of incomprehensible wails and grunts.
Sexy banana dance
The sexiest use of food in a sexy dance since Vixen picked up a fish, SS Camp 5: Women's Hell chooses a banana as its weapon of choice in seducing a scummy SS guard.
Guzoo: The Thing Forsaken by God - Part I (1986)
Based on the horrific VHS cover, you'd expect Guzoo to be a nasty, nihilistic bonanza of gore and depravity. It isn't. I should have learned by now not to judge a Japanese video tape by its cover.
An axe to the dick
Whether it's someone getting shot repetitively in the balls or the wince-inducing bathtub scene in I Spit on Your Grave, the dick and ball area is a constant source of entertainment and cringey faces.
Gorosaurus (ゴロザウルス Gorozaurusu)
Gorosaurus ranks highly on many fan lists of monster favourites, including my own. Perhaps it is his no-frills design and sympathetic aura that give him his edge.
Chocolate Strawberry Vanilla (2013)
Chocolate Strawberry Vanilla had a far stronger emotional resonance than I expected, and it features one of the most honest lead performance seen in Aussie cinema for some time.
Topless demon shower scene!
Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion is wild and features some incredible scenes captured in an incredibly theatrical style. Here is an example and one of the greatest showers scenes in cinema history...
