Australian, Experimental, Film Art, Independent Release, Short Films, Found Footage; DVD
For the past eight years Australian filmmaker Tony Lawrence has been working almost exclusively with 8mm and 16mm found footage and home movies. He now has a collection over 300 films which bare the physical effects of time, chemical decay, and even rot and mould which he further manipulates to create new works that draw attention to the materiality of the medium. His work has won many
Underground Film Festival awards. Tony says “the affect of decay, grit and damage on these films often forms the context of how I piece together these works.” He goes on to compose strangely haunting electronic soundtracks and use various transfer techniques to convey different moods and create these dreamlike explorations of memory and time.
Disturbing, Wierd, Obscure, Sion Sono, Bizarre, Adults Only, Abstract; DVD - New and Sealed
Anyone who wants evidence to support the stereotype of the bizarre, repression-revealing Japanese film need look no further than the works of Sion Sono. Strange Circus, on the other hands, starts off with a scene that basically says, "Yeah, this is going to be trippy. Fasten your seatbelts."
And it all gets weird from there.
This disc unfortunately does not have English sub-titles

Meditative and trancelike, Frankenstein’s Bloody Nightmare is an avant-garde mood piece. It is complex, abstract, and totally frustrating., but has pockets of immense fun. Like the scene where Victor Frankenstein gives his creature a handjob, which then morphs into a fist-and-arm-job.
Brilliant young Victor Karlstein finds himself in an abyss of personal turmoil and professional stress after the woman he most likely seemed to love dies while under the care of his own mysterious medical facility. Determined to keep her alive Victor uses his mechanically-enhanced reanimated corpse to murder young women in order to furnish "raw parts" for her new body among other devious things. A grainy echo of experimental and fantastic films of years past rendered in wild splashes of saturated super-8 cinematography Frankenstein's Bloody Nightmare is the debut feature from writer/producer/director John R. Hand.

3 disc (2xDVD + CD soundtrack) box set release of this rare Aussie cult classic from 1975. Includes 20 page booklet. This copy is 'as new' but unsealed - RARE to find in this condition!
Four young heroin addicts scour the streets of Melbourne in search of some good-quality narcotics – or as they call it, ’pure shit’. In the space of 48 hours, a friend dies of an overdose, they are ripped off by criminals and arrested and assaulted by police. They bungle a break-in, get chased by hooligans and one is sent to a methadone clinic. The search for drugs veers between farce and tragedy, but it never stops.
Australian, Horror, Gore, Independent, Underground, Low Budget; DVD
This is a riot from start to finish and shouldn't be missed. Yes it is low budget and it is obvious that the ambition of the film makers is sometimes sacrificed, but if you take this into account then you can really appreciate the qualities this feature has to offer. It is hilarious with some good performances, particularly from the leads. There is a proud history of off kilter horror gems from the land down under and IKHMRYSLS continues this trend and deserves to be considered in the same league as Bad Taste or Black Sheep. The film makers, Doug Turner and Stacy Edmonds show real promise in their debut and I hope they make another film soon.
Japanese, Disturbing, XXX, Gross, Nasty, Hardcore, Underground, Rare; DVD
A woman starts off by drinking 2 bottles of what first appears to be soda, but upon closer examination we find that its piss! Then she moves right along to making a mess in her panties, then cleaning the floor of it with her tongue, and then eats a big plate full of noodles with REAL worms! She now gets nasty! If you can make it this far, you're in for a real treat as she starts puking all over the camera and licking it up! She pukes all in a bathtub and plays in it!
Disturbing, Gross, Japanese, XXX, Hardcore, Nasty, Fetish, Rare; DVD (1989)
She starts out by eating a dish of noodles and worms before moving on to playing the piano. Once she starts playing, she gets a nice enema and squirts it all over the floor. She is then forced to eat it!!! But it gets worse...Lots of other enema stuff before the grand finale in which she mixes HUGE cock-roaches, maggots, worms, and her own urine in a blender and then actually drinks it all!!!!!!! If this doesn't make you sick, you're not human!!!!!
Gross, Arthouse, European, Avant Garde, Black Comedy; DVD
When Neville Gorman said 'The birth of Hungarian cinema was the death of art', this is the sort of thing he had in mind.
If you're disturbed by the thought of a man having sex with a pig's carcass, 'Taxidermia' is probably not the movie for you. And believe me, pig sex will be the least of your worries. Taxidermia is an ugly, depraved, grossly confrontational film set out to (hopefully) upset and induce nausea.....utterly brilliant!
Erotic, French, Banned, Arthouse, Black Comedy; 2 x DVD special Directors Cut
A black comedy of sexual manners set around an arranged wedding to occur on the grounds of an elegant chateau, Walerian Borowczyk's controversial masterpiece should be approached with caution but enjoyed with abandon!! Infamous for the final scene where the titular beast ravishes an American heiress, Lucy Broadhurst (Lisbeth Hummel), on the eve of her wedding to a French aristocrat, the graphic scenes of the beast coupling with its human prey sees the daring Borowczyk (Immoral tales) expound on the animalistic nature of human sexuality. Proving too heavy-handed for the censors, the film, which ravishingly revives the beauty and the beast myth, has been banned for thirty years, now finally comes to DVD in a special director's cut. One of the most bizarre and surreal experiences on film, this depraved tale of animal desire is at once riotous and perverse, and remains a masterwork of arthouse erotic cinema.
