Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

I love that he clearly has a familiarity with the source material but just adds guns to everything.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

They're movie posters from Ghana, which have obtained a cult following.

Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) A pair of hillbillies fixing up an old house are mistaken by a vacationing group of college kids to be psycho killers, and a ridiculous but hilarious series of lethal errors follow in one of the best comedy-slashers of all time. The beautiful Katrina Bowden stars.
Everyone needs to see this movie.

The Girl in the Photographs (2015) A small town supermarket cashier is targeted by a serial killer who keeps sending her graphic photos of murdered women. The cops (including X-Files’ Mitch Peleggi) don’t seem to care. Kal Penn plays a jerkoff LA photographer who brings a posse to town to exploit the story. Katherine Isabelle has a Screamesque cameo. As executive producer, it was Wes Craven’s final film credit. There’s a small amount of nudity. I went in to this with zero expectations, and though I wouldn’t call it great, it kept my attention.

The Return of Swamp Thing (1989) The evil Dr. Arcane is out to make a youth serum and wants to use his step daughter (Heather Locklear) as an experiment. Swamp Thing to the rescue. Jim (Chopping Mall) Wynorski directs this flat PG-13 sequel, possibly the only movie where Penthouse Pet Monique Gabrielle keeps her top on.

Paranoia aka Orgasmo (1969) Katherine is a rich American widow who has an affair with an auto mechanic and invite him to stay in her Italian villa. Soon he brings his sister in to join in the sex, drugs and alcohol party, and it’s not long before Katherine has had enough. The siblings have other plans. Loaded with nudity, this is an R rated film by today’s standards, but warranted an X in 1969. This is the first of four giallo that Umberto Lenzi made with American actress Carol Baker. One of them, A Quiet Place to Kill, also has an alt title of Paranoia, so it gets confusing, but you can’t go wrong, all four are fantastic.

Forbidden World (1982) An outer space fighter pilot is called in to coral an experiment gone wrong, where an unstoppable creature is feeding on the entire crew. Despite being a jerk, the two beautiful female crewmemebers feel compelled to sleep with our hero. Lots of gore and nudity, this Alien rip-off from Roger Corman is a pretty easy watch at 77 minutes.

Ghosthouse (1987) This outrageous, gory Italian haunted house movie was released in Italy as “La Casa 3” so it could be marketed as an Evil Dead sequel, though it’s much more like a gory version of Poltergeist. Taking place in Boston, a ham radio enthusiast hears a distress signal and traces it to an abandoned house where four squatters are staying. 20 years ago it was a murder house, and a young girl’s ghost with a creepy clown doll suddenly appear to cause havoc. Ridiculous scenarios and laughable dialog throughout, but also pretty much non-stop action and fun from director Umberto Lenzi and producer Joe D’amato.

What Have You Done to Solange? (1972) A schoolteacher at a Catholic College for Girls who is having an extra-marital affair with a student, instructs her not to tell police about seeing a schoolmate get murdered. As the murders pile up, the teacher first becomes a suspect, and eventually goes to look for his own clues. The key seems to lie with an absentee schoolmate, Solange. So many pretty girls in this one, and more of them got naked than I could count. Not particularly gory, however, the brutal murders are depicted as a dagger to the privates, as shown in an autopsy x-ray. With Christina Galbo (Let Sleeping Corpses Lie) and Camille Keaton (I Spit on Your Grave). Future gore and porn director Joe D’Amato worked as cinematographer for director Massimo Dallamano. Dallamano himself held the same position under Sergio Leone for A Fistful of Dollars and more With a score by Ennio Morricone. My personal favorite giallo.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) Remake of the 1956 Red Scare classic with Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams as San Fransisco health inspectors who suspect plant-based pods from outer space are replicating humans for a world takeover. Also with Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy, Nancy Cartwright, and a great cameo from the star of the ’56 version, Kevin McCarthy. Great study in paranoia from director Phillip Kaufman, who would later write Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Madhouse (1981) A schoolteacher dreads her 30th birthday when she finds that her cruel and physically deformed twin sister (who may or may not have a trained rottweiler) escapes from the asylum, and people close to her turn up dead. Fun stuff from from the director of Beyond the Door and Piranha 2.

From Beyond (1986) Director and producer Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna bring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton back a year after the unexpected success of Re-Animator for another H.P. Lovecraft adaptation, this one about an inter-dimensional sex freak! Gory and sexy, Gordon hit the bullseye again! Also with Dawn of the Dead’s Ken Foree. I saw this twice in the theater when I was 16!

Kate (2021) The always enchanting MEW plays an assassin out for revenge when a hit in Tokyo goes south. Pretty corny and cliched script (smart-mouth teen, someone sold me out, solve my own murder, etc), but basically an excuse for loads of excessive fight scenes and gun violence. Fun watch.
