Over the last 18 months I (slowly) watched all of the 39 prosecuted infamous video nasties and had a whale of a time doing so. Mostly. This year I'm going to watch the remaining 33 nasties that were unsuccessfully prosecuted and don't let the unprosecuted part fool you, some of these are far nastier than what people were jailed for in that strange time between 1983 and 1985.
Let's see what treats we have in store. There's a few stunners, some fun ones and a solid dose of muck. But there's no nazi shite this time around and that is always an upside.
The Beyond - A masterpiece.
The Boogeyman - Not a masterpiece.
Cannibal Terror - Definitely not a masterpiece.
Contamination - Gooey alien fun.
Dead & Buried - A genuinely good, atmospheric horror.
Death Trap - Tobe Hooper joy.
Deep River Savages - Cannibal time with animal cruelty of course. I'll be watching the cut version here.
Delirium - No idea. This one is new to me.
Don't Go In The House - Patsy from The Sopranos is in this oddity.
Don't Go Near The Park - Another new one to me.
Don't Look In The Basement - Ditto.
The Evil Dead - The second masterpiece on the list.
Frozen Scream - Highly bizarre, can't wait to revisit.
The Funhouse - This should not be on any list, it's basically Scooby Doo.
Human Experiments - A load of shite.
I Miss You, Hugs And Kisses - The 4th new one to me and one I'm mad to see.
Inferno - Dario Argento joy.
Killer Nun - Wxactly what it says on the tin.
Late Night Trains - A truly disturbing film.
The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue - One of the best zombie films ever made.
Nightmare Maker - Great psychopathic fun.
Possession - This is where the list goes all arthouse.
Pranks - The Porkies of the list.
Prisoner Of The Cannibal God - A good jungle romped ruined by the usual animal cruelty.
Revenge Of The Boogeyman - The worst film on the list.
The Slayer - Another Scooby Doo but really really violent.
Terror Eyes - The only Friday the 13th clone on the list.
The Toolbox Murders - Yup, exactly how it sounds.
Unhinged - This one would get cancelled on twitter as the kids say.
Visiting Hours - Michael Ironside as a psychopath. What more do you need.
The Witch Who Came In From The Sea - Surreal, nuts, disturbing, brilliant.
Women Behind Bars - Jess Franco time aka sleaze and utter boredom.
Zombie Creeping Flesh - Gory Bruno Mattei fun and all the cheapness that entails.
This will be fun. Fingers crossed I get them all done in the year. But..well...yeah. LOL.
