10 most shocking/extreme movies of 2005-06

#1 The Descent-trust me, it's that good, so I had to mention it again. Unrated DVD coming Winter 06 from Lionsgate! UK release cover shown.











#2 Feed-taking shock-cinema to a new level. Obesity fetish horror could be the next niche genre, no?, well this film is highly recommended anyway. Available now from TLA Releasing!












#3 Calvaire (The Ordeal)-"Squeal, Pig!" You've heard rumors about what woman-depraved Backwoods folk do, right? Well, it now extends globally. Available Oct. 3rd from Palm Pictures.












#4 Chaos-reminiscent of Last House on the Left, without Hollywood restraints or censorship. Straight "up-in-your-face" hostility, violence, rape, and disgust. Coming Sept. 26th from Razor Digital Ent. Thanks for the advance copy, Ron.














#5 Aftermath/Genesis-necrophilia is always interesting to catch on film, and gives good meaning to the phrase "dead-lay." Available now from Unearthed Films/Anthem Pictures.













#6 Three Extremes-even though the other shorts are pretty good, the most memorable and noteworthy is Dumplings. Ever tried aborted fetus dumplings? They're said to be yum-yummy, and eating them is like stepping into the fountain of youth (bonus!). Avail now from Lionsgate.













#7 Masters of Horror: Imprint-Takashi Miike's entry into the MOH series, which Showtime chose not to air because of it's extreme violence and delicate subject matter. Did we expect anything less from Japan's best horror director, who laced us with such classics like Audition, Visitor Q, and Ichi the Killer? Naw, and I'm sure it's well worth the wait. Anchor Bay Sept. 26th. UK release cover shown.












#8 Slaughtered Vomit Dolls-vomit-gore claims to be the latest sub-genre. This flick gets tiring really quick, but after viewing a little nudity and extreme up-chucking, I made it through. Yack-in-a-cup, drink-it-up, yack-in-a-cup, drink-it-up. Like the cover, the movie will have you saying, "What the F---?" too.












#9 Murder Set Pieces-the latest film by Nick Palumbo, director of Nutbag, tries to give you that Hostel-esque feeling, but fails miserably. Don't get me wrong, there are some sweet gore scenes, mostly stills, but the main actor is horrible. He may very well be German, but his accent and acting suck.














#10 Slaughter Disc-nice entry in the horror-porn genre. If I didn't know better, I'd think the lead actor was my boy, Scotty G. Their mannerisms are so indistinguishable. The film in a nutshell: a naked goth chick doing the bump-bump, a few killings, more bump-bump, and lots of laughs. Worth a watch.












Xploitedcinema.com and Diabolikdvd.com are the best websites to order obscure cinema from around the world. Pick up an all-region DVD player, and you can view movies that may never see the likes of a U.S. release.
