harry kümel's malpertuis

Blood and Lace (1971) is a pretty good example. A lot of people don't know of its existence or assume I'm talking about the Bava flick Blood & Black Lace

I've been meaning to put it onto disc for a couple of people for trades. Quite a quirky flick.

A lot of the D' Amato stuff seems to slip under the radar compared to the bigger guns like Argento, Bava and Fulci (perhaps due to it's execution?) . I guess its more for the hardcore cinema crowd than the casual horror fan.

Blood and Lace is a great film great twist too.

I always wanted to see Malpertuis - thats one about the gods/muses living in a house...

From my Avatar you can tell I'm a Fan of Ratman - weird film - don't think its doen the rounds much either.

Ratman is pretty out there and yeh it doesn't get much recognition apart from the cult fanatics.

People can rag on torrents/etc all they want but they've unearthed some killer flicks and got a buzz going about some forgotten gems.

Yep left it out on purpose because it isnt a horror flick. Good one though.

Possibly, but not for the casual horror fan who knows that Romero is restricted to only the "Dead" films. This would be a good way to inspire them to look for other stuff of his. :)


And some very good recs already being discussed.

How about Fulci :-

Lizard in a Woman's Skin (1971)
Dont Torture A Duckling (1972)
The Psychic aka Seven Notes in Black (1977)
The Black Cat (1981)
Manhattan Baby (1982)
Murder-Rock: Dancing Dead (1984)
Aenigma (1987)
Touch of Death (1988)
A Cat In The Brain (1990)
Demonia (1990)
Voices From Beyond (1991)

**BUMP**

Ahem...

Why is Don't torture the ducking called Don't torture the ducking - thats the real question...

Haven't got around to watching a lot of Fulci stuff - I've seen Bentrice Cenci/Colt Concert/Devils' honey/Cat in the brain as well as the usual ones..

think i have them all bar the psychic :o

a cash in on the other "animal" giallos of the time me thinks

devil's honey - been years since i saw that.....sax sex :D

Cool.

How did you like them? One line descriptions for each, please. :)
