DEAD BOYZ CANT FLY
Those in the mood for gratuitous violence will be amply rewarded by this early-nineties over-the-topper
THE DARK SIDE OF LOVE
The Italian sex film is an industry in itself. Here’s one of the genre’s more interesting entries, from Salvatore Sempari, one of its key directors
CRASH! (1977)
Not to be confused with the similarly titled David Cronenberg or Paul Haggis films, this is an early effort by the irrepressible Charles Band, who attempted to mix occult horror and car chases (a bit like THE CAR crossed with THE EXORCIST)

CONFESSIONS OF A PSYCHO CAT

JACK HILL: THE EXPLOITATION AND BLAXPLOITATION MASTER, FILM BY FILM
The first and thus far only book about Jack Hill, arguably the greatest exploitation movie director of the grindhouse era
YOU’RE NOT DEAD UNTIL YOU’RE FORGOTTEN
For horror/exploitation aficionados this is one of the standout publications of 2014
Remembering the Zebra Books Horror Line
If you were a horror fan in the 1980s and early-to-mid 90s you probably remember Zebra Books
HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP
More eighties trashola from Roger Corman, with plenty of gore, slime, cheesy sea monsters, gratuitous T&A and one of the cinema’s better mutant birth scenes
THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE)
This, as you may recall, was the gross-out spectacle of 2010
