Unspeakable (2000)
All underground film fans check this out, Troma has done it again!
Another slick production from the Troma team and this time its this little nasty indie film. This dirty little number deals with everything from incest, drug addiction, paraplegia sex, prostitution and everything else in between. The film-making style reminds me of Combat Shock or in the same vein anyways, showing the worst sides of society, no character in this film is good, they are all a bunch of scum! Low budget all the way. If your accustomed to these type of films you'll love it but otherwise steer clear, strictly for the genre buffs. If you think everything Troma makes is along the lines of Toxic Avenger then this flick will change your mind, while your at it check out Combat Shock, another great flick and also check out No Way Home.
Emanuelle e Françoise (Le sorelline) (1975)
bit of a bore but worth checking out
Not what I expected from D'Amata who is mostly known for his gore/porn films but its somewhat of a different film. You have the big anthropophagus himself George Eastman as a selfish gigolo/actor who obviously causes the death of his pushover model girlfriend. We find out that Carlo's (Eastman)girlfriend has a sister and its no other than Emmanuelle (being played by someone else other than Laura Gemser here). After finding out the humiliation Carlo put her sister through Emmanuelle exacts her revenge by chaining the poor sap in a secret room in her house and drugging him up causing him to have hallucinations. The whole affair is slow moving but it has its perks: some 70's bush (if your into the rug look), slew of soft core scenes and some bizarre hallucinations involving cannibalism, we even get George Eastman reprising his Anthropophagus role with his big meat cleaver! Genre buffs will dig this, you'll need it to complete your emmanuelle collection otherwise I found myself drifting in and out of it.
