Shita: Dettorî sairensu (2004)
easy to make humor, with a title like this
A man, living in a humble apartment with his young wife, accidentally pushes her and kills her. The guy is panic-stricken, and first he tries to hide the body, putting it in the trunk of his car, then he realizes she's "some way" alive (a "living dead" form of life), and she even helps him to kill a cop... or is it just his sick imagination ?
Overextimated short, during only 38 minutes, SHITA is a boring example of Japanese video making. I usually like oriental SOV's, because even the most dreadful ones always bring out some good surprises. Here nothing... Even the girl isn't neither beautiful nor sexy. The director tries to fill up the emptiness of the script with some feeble lines ("if you're a zombi, bite me"), but nothing can save this video from oblivion. The Canadian DVD comes with a disgusting mini-short, "The Spirit One Hundred Stories", about some "God of hand job"... total bad taste !
Night of the Sinner (2009)
the real "sin" would be to release it
Alessandro Perrella (Alex Perry of softcore and porn) is one of those directors convinced he can bring fresh blood to Italian cinema. But he's wrong ! SINNER is the sad story of a "prince" (Englund) hooking a librarian (Ivana Miño) to catalogue a collection of "rare books" (actually very fake ones), but of course he only wants to kill her... uhm... so ? Girls are OK, even sometimes nude, but it's not enough. Movie is lethally boring, Englund is trying to look as Vincent Price... "Priced" maybe ! Editing is terrible, FX okay but splatter's mostly in the beginning. Funniest thing, this has been pushed on Fangoria by Loris Curci, one of the producers, as "a thriller with elements of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, as well as PHANTOM OF THE OPERA", yeah ! Why not ALIENS or AVATAR !
Rossa Venezia (2003)
dreadful porn horror
Villa Maledetta, 13. Stay away from this address, where a psychotic woman has killed her husband, caught in the act together with a prostitute. Today, the deranged lunatic keeps herself in shape contacting other assorted call girls and giving them a lesson in bondage and fake gore. A pitiable ultra-pathetic Italian commissioner investigates, whilst a coroner cuts plastic bodies in a sort of a garage dispatched for a morgue. Venice is the unaware background for this dreadful, unwatchable video garbage, directed (if "direction" is a word I can use) by Andreas Bethmann, alias the leader of German DVD distribution X Rated. The video (I can't call "film" what's shot with a camcorder), based on a non-existent screenplay, is full of boring, gratuitous hardcore sex, awful SPFX, ludicrous dialogues. Special spice of the dish is the stressing, endless length ! I wasted 2hrs 30mns of my life to watch this dull abomination...sorry, that's the sensation ! In the effort to emulate his "spiritual master", Jess Franco, Andreas has recruited him in the cast together with his lovely wife Lina. It's useless Andreas, you're not the heir of Jess, rather just a copycat ! Avoid it !
