Rosso Sangue a.k.a. Anthropophagus II (1981)
A year after Anthropophagus became an international hit, director Joe D’Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) re-teamed with star George Eastman (Luigi Montefiore) for this underrated sequel. Rosso Sangue was banned by the British government during the Video Nasty Era and suffered from … Continue reading
Proto-Slashers (Lucky) #13 – “The Centerfold Girls” (1974)
The Centerfold Girls is a grimy and grim precursor to 80’s slashers like Maniac and Don’t Answer the Phone; it’s also a prime example of 70’s Grindhouse filmmaking.

Admirers of Pieces (1982) know you don’t have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre. But did you know a continuation of a certain gory campus massacre was once on tap? Original director Juan Piquer Simón announced in 1991 … Continue reading
Trailer: Troma’s Father’s Day
Did this come out of nowhere or not? Troma have a sequel/appendage to Mother’s Day on the way, and the trailer is here. Although it’s as mind-blowingly offensive as you’ve come to expect from the company, the movie was produced … Continue reading
Retro Slashers Vs Spam
Unfortunately the message board we debuted a week or so ago has been trouble for me since day one. It was devised as a solution to the 300-500 spambots per day (updated: now 2000 per day) that hit our comments … Continue reading
