I didn't want to include films like Shivers and Horror Express as i see them as, well, i think the clue is in the title of the second film i just mentioned.

This weeks subject is open to interpretation of course. For example i haven't seen anything from August Underground. Lets have a top ten of the films you consider to be the most EXTREME HORROR.

I'll be honest, I've gone off 'trangressive films'. Maybe I'm getting old but I sat through American guinea pig bored as hell. I've had a long hard think on this and compiled stuff I've actually enjoyed beyond their shock value. Last house is the wild card as its not extreme these days but I'm taking in the shock value from the time it was made.

Not sure how I'm gonna fair with this one. My idea of extreme horror is probably quite tame, stuff like the Guinea Pig film, August Underground, Faces of Death holds no appeal whatsoever to me.

It's your interpretation of 'extreme horror', Mr Harker

Don't forget that the original Universal and Hammer films were considered 'extreme' when they were first released

Same for me - a lot of extreme horror stuff nowadays seems to be based on trying to 'one-up' the film that came before it in terms of gore at the expense of everything else.

I think I'll be doing the same.

The Last Man On Earth. 1964
Quatermass and the Pit. 1967
Planet of the Apes. 1968
2001: A Space Oddyssey.1968

The following are/were extreme to me:

Cannibal Holocaust
Africa Addio
Last House on the Left
Last House on Dead End Street
Philosophy of a Knife
City of the Living Dead (my first 'nasty' experience)
Wet Wilderness
Gestapo's Last Orgy
The Last Victim
The Legend of Hell House (the 3 or 4 times I saw this on TV as a kid I could never get past the bit of the record player going on by itself. It used to spook the shit out of me.)

Edit: an honourable mention to the fantastic Singapore Sling.
