‘Video
nasties’... a quarter of a Century on, the very words still chill
the blood. After all, Snuff was a genuine “snuff” film,
wasn’t it? People were really eaten in cannibal films, weren’t
they? The judge in the James Bulger murder case specifically linked
this notorious crime to the film Child’s Play 3, didn’t
he? Hungerford killer Michael Ryan was obsessed with Rambo, right? |

ARE YOU READY FOR GUT- CRUNCHING TERROR? The natives are revolting, and so are their eating habits in Cannibal, the Ultimate Consumer Guide to some of the nastiest movies ever made! |
| ARE YOU The most notorious and taboo of all horror movie subgenres, the Cannibal movie was cooked up by the Italian film industry as a natural progression from the true-life third world nightmares so graphically depicted in ‘Mondo’ documentaries of the 1970s. Not surprisingly many of them ended up being classified as ‘Video Nasties’ in the UK witch-hunts of the early 80s. Their continued obscurity means these films remain as unexplored as the remote areas of the Amazon jungle where their stomach-churning action is set. But now respected author and film journalist John Martin (author of Seduction Of The Gullible, the definitive book on the Nasties phenomenon) sets out to explore the history of the Cannibal movie from critical and cultural viewpoints, providing an entertaining and informative examination of the genre which will satiate the appetites of exploitation movie buffs everywhere! He also interviews many of the men who made these ultra-violent anthropohagous shockers… directors such as Lucio Fulci, Umberto Lenzi and Antonio Margheriti, plus the ace special effects men and stars who created some of the most unsettling images ever seen on screen. Packed with eye-popping, stomach-bursting colour stills, posters and lobby cards from a host of carnivorous classics, be warned that Cannibal is not for those with delicate sensitivities. But if, like Quentin Tarantino, you are hungry for the wildest and weirdest that exploitation cinema can deliver, grab this book and prepare to eat your fill! |

Just
when you thought it was safe to go back in the video shop, along comes
Video Nasties 2! Yes, following the sellout success of our first Video
Nasties book, here comes another bumper batch of full-size, full colour
covers from some of the most outrageous pre-certificated videos ever to
have their collar felt by Mr. Plod! It's hard to believe now that back
in 1980 the jaded British video viewer could settle down with movies like
The Amazing Mr. No Legs, Elsa, Fraulein SS, Flesh Feast and The Corpse
Grinders, but indeed they could - which probably helps explain why the
country is in such a mess today! Now we're giving you a chance to re-live
those golden days as you leaf through the most incredible selection of
video sleeves ever gathered together in one awesome coffee table collection.
In addition to the covers, each title has full cast and credits supplied
by that connoisseur of celluloid esoterica Marc Morris (he collects this
crap), and the text is written by yours truly, Allan Bryce. Since I was
accused of being lazy with the first Nasties book, every review here is
at least twice as long. As with the first Video Nasties book this is a
limited edition that is sure to take pride of place in your collection,
and like all of our Dark Side volumes is not to be missed by anyone of
unsound mind! TO ORDER CLICK HERE List Price £17.99 Sale Price £12.00 You Save £5.99 |

Style, sex and savagery are the chief elements
of Italian Giallo cinema, which thrives on images of beautiful, scantily-clad
women being chased around by knife-wielding maniacs! Now a lavish new
volume from the publishers of the best-selling Video Nasties! brings you
the definitive guide to this notorious and rarely chronicled film genre!
Blood And Black Lace is an essential read for anyone who has an interest
in the darker side of Italian exploitation pictures. Written by Adrian
Luther Smith, editor of Delirium magazine, and lavishly printed in full
colour throughout, this 164-page book packs in astonishing images from
movies by such masters of the giallo art as Dario Argento, Mario Bava
and Lucio Fulci alongside lively, entertaining reviews and full cast and
credit details of hundreds of films which have never appeared in any movie
guide before. Where else could you look up movies like Strip Nude For
Your Killer or Why These Strange Drops Of Blood On The Body Of Jennifer?
- as well as seeing mouth-watering colour posters and stills from movies
that you'd never even dreamed existed! There's even a specially-written
introduction by legendary Italian screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi. As with
Video Nasties!, this amazing volume is a limited edition, and only available
through Dark Side magazine. The price will undoubtedly increase as copies
grow scarcer, so order today to ensure Blood And Black Lace a place in
your collection! Where else can you get such a tome for only £16.99? No-where,
it's not available in the shops. TO
