Tales Of Blood Island Kickstarter: "Body horror director and producer of the Re-Animator zombie franchise, Brian Yuzna; Sam Sherman of Independent-International Pictures Corp; and Dave Sehring of Drive-In-Sanity Films have teamed up for another Blood Island Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign to resurrect the mutant zombie, the Beast of Blood (aka The Chlorophyll Man), with more monstrous merchandise to get fans excited about a planned re-boot of the Blood Island film series that is currently in pre-production."
Brian Yuzna’S Tales Of Blood Island is a series of jungle horror comic books, games, tiki barware and beachwear that re-boots and re-imagines the classic Blood Island creature features made in the Philippines for the U.S. drive-in market by Kane Lynn, Irwin Pizor, Gerardo de Leon and Eddie Romero in the 1960s & 1970s. Blood Island director Eddie Romero went on to serve as Associate Producer on Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam War...

You’ll have to excuse me. Lately I’ve been gravitating towards a particular corner of the genre room, one in which a lot of films clamor for space and I don’t always recognize the labels. Brides of Blood (1968) is in that corner, one in which Filipino exploitation meets old fashioned horror tropes to the advantage of both.
Released at the end of May stateside by the Philippines' own Hemisphere Pictures, Brides of Blood did well for the company in drive-ins everywhere - well enough that two more sequels followed, Mad Doctor of Blood Island (also ‘68) and Beast of Blood (1970). But Brides is actually the second in what came to be known as the Blood Island series; this was preceded by Terror is a Man (1959) almost ten years prior.
Rudimentary knowledge for some, no doubt; but I’m a Blood Island virgin you see, and my late arrival to...

Director and documentarian Mark Hartley scores both a film history and comedy success with this ‘wild, untold’ account of the 1980s film studio that was both revered and despised by everyone who had contact with it. The ‘cast list’ of interviewees is encyclopedic, everybody has a strong opinion, and some of them don’t need four-letter words to describe their experience!

No one knew exploitation cinema like Jack Hill. His resume is like a tour through sleazy '70s film history, and his collaborators like a who's who of the toughest, meanest, and sexiest stars of the era. Shout! Factory's Women in Cages Blu-ray Collection is a magnificent monument to that legacy featuring Hill's Big Doll House and The Big Bird Cage as well as Gerry De Leon's Women in Cages to round it all out. These three films may not have been the first Women in Prison films, far from it, but they brought the goods like no other films before them. If you wanted buxom broads with bad attitudes, you've got 'em in spades in this collection. Mud wrestling, shower scenes, sexual torture, and more,...

"I know when most people go to see documentaries, they expect to learn something," said "Machete Maidens Unleashed" director Mark Hartley before the film's Fantastic Fest premiere. "If you expect to learn something, you should go outside and read a book for the next 85 minutes."
But a funny thing happened on the way to the Paramount - you do learn quite a bit about the Filipino exploitation films of the 1960s and '70s from Hartley's follow-up to his wildly entertaining history of the Australian exploitation film, "Not Quite Hollywood," even if it's not what you'd quite expect. Like that film, "Machete Maidens Unleashed" is often more fun than the films it tells the behind-the-scenes stories of since it freely uses the money shots and arrives bursting with energy to spare. At once, the film is a tribute to native Filipino directors Cirio Santiago, Bobby Suarez and Gerardo de Leon,...
