Joe D’Amato
Exploitation exploitation exploitation
Two recent films, or rather trailers, got me thinking.
If you’re making an exploitation movie that isn’t tongue-in-cheek, you better be a fine fucking film-maker. Because the above trailer for Frankenpimp makes it look awesomely dodgy and probably worth watching with a few mates and a four-pack. Whereas Run Bitch, Run! (link really NSFW) looks a bit shit, and despite a House Of The Dead: Overkill style trailer and the copious levels of nudity and gore, I’d still probably rather watch Frankenpimp.
Actually, even the best “serious” exploitation films (Cannibal Holocaust, Beyond the Darkness aka Buio Omega, Last House on the Left) were made by people who at other times in their career churned out some of the least watchable movies ever made. Take the directors of those three movies: Ruggero Deodato also made the tedious Bodycount (aka Camping del Terrore), Joe D’Amato (aka Aristide Massaccesi) also cobbled together the inexplicable Erotic Nights of the Living Dead and Wes Craven made, or presumably shat out, Vampire in Brooklyn. Take heed!
Rebecca Mayes – now with videos
This video is for a song-slash-game-review by Rebecca Mayes, who we have previously mentioned (in a totally not-weird-or-internet-stalking-kind-of-way) in a truly factimonious post earlier in the year.
It isn’t the most in-depth way of reviewing a game, and she takes a very sensitive approach to a very geek-macho genre – she wants to hug the zombies in Resi 5, not shoot them! – but she restores her cred amongst basement-dwelling Xbox nerds by adding that Sheva’s boobs blow her mind.
Plus the zombie in the video looks rather like the ones from Joe D’Amato’s astonishingly poor zombie-porno film Erotic Nights of the Living Dead, which makes this a B+ at the very least.
