Top Ten Tuesdays - Page 79

Here's my list -

Mondo Cannibal – I much prefer Mattei's shameless rip off of 'Cannibal Holocaust' to the real thing. MC is a disjointed fever dream where a badly made european soap opera collides with cheap sleaze and gore.

The Long Island Cannibal Massacre – By back yard 8mm auteur Nathan Schiff. It's totally grungey, and has an awesome climax featuring a bunch of dainty looking nine year olds munching on a guys intestines.

Blood Feast – Did any actual cannibalism go down in this one? OK, not 'actual cannibalism', but you know what I mean. It's got cannibalism by intent, anyway.

The Cannibal Man – I'm sure this film is pretty well known to labbers, but it still needs to be seen more often. It's not what many might think ie exploitative and gore-heavy – rather, it's subdued, down beat and atmospheric, maybe closer to something like 'Repulsion' even in that it tells the tale of an isolated individual's descent into madness.

Weekend – Jean Luc Goddard's fable of societal disintegration has some hippie cannibalism in it.

The Untold Story – Sick and sleazy Cat 3 'fun' with a latter day Sweeney Todd and his dumpling shop.

Frightmare – Pete Walker's classic needs no introduction, but good evidence that cannibalism was possible in stodgy beige era seventies England.

Dahmer – I remember really liking this, although I haven't seen it for years. Stylish and slightly arty take on the Milwaukee Cannibal's life and times.

The Forest – No-one ever seems to like this film! It's a grindhouse relic (although I think it was made in the early eighties) and features a lonely old cannibal in a cave and his two ghost children. It's great!

Warlock Moon – Yet more seventies grindhouse era horror which, I seem to recall, has an undercurrent of cannibalism. Can't remember how explicit it is, but the film itself is great, with a detached, creepy atmosphere.

Amazing post Frankie! So many great movies there.

Glad you like the new banner too buddy

I'll have to get my thinking cap on and whittle it down to 10 top films - another toughie, Nordic!

Can't wait to see what banner you come up with when we enter the sleazy end of the scale

Hell yeah! It's awesome! One of the few remakes that is much better than the original. There's so much raw emotion in that movie - it brings out the inner rage within me and just wants to see those mutant scums be smashed to pieces. Heck, it'll be in my top 10 revenge films too!
