 'Alien From L.A.' (1988) - Albert Pyun.

Masterful midnight moviemaker Albert Pyun's dreamy-delirious, day-glow bonkers 80s Sci-fi spectacular 'Alien from L.A.' (1988) is arguably one of the more bodacious-looking, tectonic plate penetratingly deep B-movies y'all could ever see, dude! To whit: a hellaciously hot, hard-bodied honey-bunny (Kathy Ireland) unexpectedly ventures fathoms deep into the generously populated bowels of mother earth and disturbingly discovers a monumentally mysterious, subterraneanly strange, freakishly boisterous 'Alt. middle earth society' that very soon aggressively confounds her mall-muddled, sun-soaked, bikini-blonde brain in this sublimely ridiculous, triumphantly terrestrial VHS-era Sci-fi oddity masterminded by the noted celluloid cyberpunk Albert Pyun!

'DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!!!!!!!!!'

'Alien From L.A.' is deffo NOT suitable entertainment for flat-earthers, dude! But, perhaps, avid David Ike-following crypto-cats will dig biggly on the multiple layers within Albert Pyun's scintillatingly kooky, substrata Sci-fi shenanigans!!!

'DTV action legend Albert 'Nemesis' Pyun digs a little deeper than most and unearths B-Movie gold with his paradigm shifting, juiced-up Jules Verne-inspired, outrageously off-beat 80s Sci-fantasy weirdness!' - Tor Bronson @ 'The Heroic Blood Shed'.

 

 



 




 







 

'Adventures of a Private Eye' (1977) – Stanley A. Long.


All B-Movie boggled eyes are sure to be on glistering Giallo Glamour Girl Suzy Kendall who sizzles sensationally in serial smut-wrangler Stanley A. Long's riotously ribald, stupendously silly, bra-burstingly boorish comedy misadventure 'Adventures of a Private Eye' (1977). Witness the blissfully bawdy, barrel scraping buffoonery of charisma-challenged Christopher Neil's brainlessly bumbling private dick enthusiastic attempts to get to the bottom of things, and frequently getting more than his own knickers in a twist!!! One of muck maestro Stanley Long's frivolously frothy, fitfully filthy film's many highlights is the legitimately fabulous burlesque routine by the distractingly delicious Adrienne Posta, energetically performing her rewardingly 'not-so private', eye-catchingly exotic Liza Minnelli Cabaret routine! The more forgiving fans of prosaic Carry on-style pratfalls, dribble-entendres, juvenile jackanapes, and grubby-fingered, saucy picture postcard piffle will certainly dig on the asinine antics and retrograde tomfoolery of Christopher Neil's scurrilously salacious sleuth, plus the surprisingly glittering cast is a burnished Brit-cult dream, featuring the estimable acting talents of Jon Pertwee, Harry H Corbett, Diana Dors, Ian Lavender, Anna Quale, Irene Handle, Liz Frazer and William Rushton.

'The 'Adventures of a Private Eye' is an unapologetically lurid, lowbrow B-Movie bacchanal of puerile, bottom-pinching perfidy, and, sadly, we shall never see its inglorious like again! - Weirdlingwolf @ Dirty Kunst Video.

'Chernobyl Diaries' (2012) – Bradley Parker.

A dangerously misguided Troup of adventurous tourists eerily experience a terminal melt down during their off-grid, increasingly toxic trip to the not so abandoned village of Pripyat! - Terror radiates from every pus-soaked pore in the Geiger counter crashing holiday nightmare 'Chernobyl Diaries'!

'The Climber' (1975) – Pasquale Squitieri.

Made during the then popular poliziotteschi cycle, talented writer/director Pasquale Squitieri's boisterously action-packed crime thriller about the violently vengeful ascent and blood-spattered fall of surly, quick-witted, hot-blooded thug Aldo (Joe Dallesandro), a street smart smuggler whose seemingly limitless capacity for cruelty and delusions of grandeur bloodily orchestrates his gutsy, single-minded attempt to forcibly wrest power from incumbent gangland heavy Don Enrico (Raymond Pellegrin), Aldo's ambitious crime spree swiftly overextends the increasingly desperate reach of grievously gun-happy Aldo and his ever decreasing misfit mob's minor-league talents! While Pasquale's exhilaratingly pacey 'The Climber' is arguably one of the more consistently gripping, explosively eventful examples of 70s Italian crime cinema, this exceptional actioner has only just recently been given the cinematic credibility it so demonstratively deserves.

All the volatile ingredients that deliriously drew so many exploitation fans to Euro-crime's hyper-violent milieu are excitingly displayed in 'The Climber', with its attention-grabbing generosity of ferociously femur-fracturing fights, brutal bullet-fests, gratuitous Gangland goring's, bloodthirsty brawls, murderous displays of mobster mendacity, unrestrained vehicular carnage, and the coldly reptilian menace of Dallesandro effectively endows his hubristic, diabolically handsome, dead-eyed killer Aldo a malign Delon-like detachment that isn't exactly loveable, but his hyperbolic Alpha personality is weirdly magnetic! Much like vintage crime classics 'Scarface' and 'Public Enemy' long before it, Pasquale's doomy, frequently sadistic Euro-crime actioner exudes a similarly dark fascination with Aldo's rampant lust for money and power leading him inexorably to his own ignominious destruction! The exceptionally punchy score by composer Franco Campanino and equally strident film-making from maestro Squitieri has guaranteed that avid poliziotteschi fans, old and new, will readily appreciate the bellicose charms of this beautifully restored HD edition of Pasquale Squitieri's 'The Climber'.

'The Climber' is arguably one of the more consistently entertaining, pistol-whippingly wicked, explosively eventful examples of Gangland grisly 70s Italian crime cinema! - Weirdlingwolf @ Dirty Kunst Video.

'Femur-fracturing fights, brutal bullet-fests, gratuitous Gangland goring's, bloodthirsty brawls, unrestrained vehicular carnage and Franco Campanino's punchy score are just some of The Climber's more immediately intoxicating ingredients!' - Tor Bronson @ The Heroic Blood Shed.
