Letterboxd — Your life in film

A pointless, dull entry into the Italian Cannibal cycle of the 80s. I don't expect a lot from these films, but this one failed even the lowest of expectations. The gore is uninspired, the pacing is slow -even for one of these films, and the nudity is, well I'd be fine not seeing any of them nude ever again. Avoid.

all right, but i was really hope for something a bit more loopy from Ken Russell.
Kathleen Turner was fun as the conflicted hooker, but over sub plot of the stalker was too little too late.

mean, very mean, but also, a weird transition film. Not as hard, out and out grim social commentary as the original, but not as out right silly exploitation fun of number 3 (my favourite). Not as terrible as i had been led to believe.
Full points to the score though.

This was the"The Alternative Edition Redux" fan edit by Spicediver

Not Donnie Yen's best outing, but still a lot of fun, and hot damn does Donnie batter the crap out of all comers in this.

Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing (trying to get his mack on!) as rival scientists, a sexy Russian spys, a crazed Rasputinesque monk, Telly Savalas putting in a really over the top, possibly drunk performance as a Cossack, and then (MINI SPOILER) zombies! (END OF SPOILER) - all on the Orient Express!!! Yeah how was I not going to love this film?

i watched the Japanese cut (an extra 10 + minutes), but the film is still the same - silly, poorly written and not terribly well actied and yet i still enjoy it.

This is specifically the Cabal Cut of Nightbreed.

Silly, hokey, and the ninja back story (a giant ninja school with a kind of public grad ceremony ? really?) really is far from historically accurate, but damn if fighting isn't fun. And really why the hell are you watching an Issac Florentine film w/ Scott Adkins called Ninja if not for the fights?

i'll have to come back and write something up later - my brain is still turning this around.

NB: this was the re-cut version of the film (see this for details: bit.ly/UJZSS4)

Not quite as fun as i was hoping, this post-apocalyptic adventure/horror flick is fair enough for a Saturday morning. a bit slow, butit does deliver on the requisite Mattei nastiness and gore.
