In the wild days of Indonesian exploitation cinema, filmmakers went wild with reckless abandon and offered up countless gems in a variety of genres from a multitude of directors. Despite a handicap on violence and nudity, it forced a slew of off-the-wall creations which instead placed plenty of emphasis on wild creativity and showmanship in its place. None, though, offer the kind of visual thrills, demented lunacy and wild imagination as H. Tjut Djalil’s classic bout of sleaze known as “Leak”, or more commonly “Mystics in Bali”.

It's time for more various oddball trailers from the far reaches of cinema obscurity. So, without any further ado, let's check out some "coming attractions"!
Dr. Alien (1989):
Ah, Empire Pictures. What's not to love about the infamous production company that gave us such 80's cult favorites as Ghoulies, Trancers, Re-Animator, TerrorVision and Psychos in Love?
