Just got a statement from Bill on this.

I even let a police office read some posts and he tells me they show traits of woman abuser/hater. As for the double bill, they are re-release of previous titles, so it kind of doesn't deserve a reversable. It's also strange of nasty Misogynist wanted Maria removed, but didn't demand Elite Entertainment or Media Blasters to remove Joe Bob Briggs or Retromedia to remove Morellla. "

People did indeed call Maria horrible names,even if they were "just passionate about the dvd's" they could have asked for a reversible cover without all the name calling.

I hope this isn't just a case of Bill saving on printing costs. I know its cynical but he does come out with some outlandish statements. EG Code Red closing summer 2011.

If indeed its true then it really is pathetic. So what if companies use a gimmick to help promote their releases. I would think most of the complainants don't actually know what a real woman looks like anyway and have only seen them being slashed to bits in films.
I am delighted that these obscure films are being released full stop. Yes you can grumble a little if you wanted a full artwork cover, but does it really matter.

I can only think of Arrow and Shameless who use reverse artwork and very welcome it is too. Major horror companies ie Optimum and Lionsgate never even contemplate bonuses like this.

As for Mardi Gras Massacre, Maria's pic on the cover is probably the best thing about it. I find that people who like the film haven't actually seen it.

If you watch it with LOW expectation levels you may like it. I repeat MAY.

My expectations were high...but I've lowered them a bit...

Prepare yourself b!

The best advice I could give would be to have plenty of hard liquor on stand by.

Hard liquor?!
Any films you could compare it with?

It sort of plays out like a (very) low budget re-imagining of Blood Feast.

Best viewed inebriated, for sure.

How much lower than Blood Feast can the budget go?!

You'd be surprised - believe me!

Blood Feast is also one of those so bad it's good kind of films, that you know is very aware at how cheesy it is.

I'm not sure the same could be said about MMM (so bad it's bad, perhaps?!). Ultra cheesy with some terrible dialogue. On top of that, it also has plenty of prostitutes, gore, and a very odd score...

I very much look forward to your opinion of this one, Bruno!
