'Death Shock' (1981) - Frank Thring / Steve Perry.

'Death Shock' is an insalubrious, no-budget DTV 'horror' travesty from Grindhouse Britain, 'starring' that titillating, triumphantly twin-peaked tabloid temptress, the INFINITELY more salubrious-looking 80s sexpot Linzi Drew! The dung-dense, recklessly ribald, sex-occult narrative therein proving to be so profoundly complex that it could only be successfully realized with any degree of thematic efficacy by utilizing, not one, but TWO stalwart directors! Yet even with these two swoggle-eyed, scum-slinging dross-hounds at the increasingly unstable helm, 'Death Shock' remains a paltry, sleazily scintillating morsel of hugely questionable, fleshly-fabulous, sinfully suggestive Witchgrinder General fare!

Polymath helmsman Frank Thring later 'directed' the subtle, and, arguably more introspective work 'Come on my feet please?' Which I understand forms part of his long-mooted, dialectical triptych, regarding the aesthetic merits of seminal discharge upon disparate, fleshly parts of the female anatomy!!??? Thus far, Frank Thring's recorded filmmaking legacy remains the somewhat stupefying, bemusingly shock-less 'Death Shock', and for your viewing edification, it has been lovingly shot in a fearlessly fuzzy analogue haze of murksome 'Umatic video' (probably?). This unambiguously penurious look and grubby, Vaseline-lensed villainy adds a welcome, greasy-palmed verisimilitude to the sordid, multitudinously mucky narrative therein that the more degenerated celluloid Sin-seeker might well find just as boorishly appealing as I did! Forget the shyte, wig-exposing clarity of HD, I'd like to see a remastered Super-8 version of this bunghole'd B-Movie balderdash!!!!!
