Lesbian Horse






When the psychic fall out of the 60s trip finally settled, the jaded and burned out music scene was looking for a brave new voice as the flower power vibes faded and the harsh new reality of the 70s took over.

That musical and karmic void was filled by The Lesbian Horse, a band that were both a brave, fresh aural experience and an exciting, profitable religious cult.

Formed by "The Aquarian...

Bride of the Monster





Bride of the Monster is an essential movie for all students of trash film making, a classic Z-grade shocker from the master of bad movies, Ed Wood.

Bela Lugosi stars in this poverty stricken sci-fi effort as a mad doctor (is there any other kind?) who kidnaps twelve men and attempts to use atomic energy to turn them into super-humans. A sassy female journalist gets wind of his scheme, heads up to his lair to investigate...

Aaah, the United Kingdom. Home of football hooligans, happy slapping and indeed daisy chaining! If you are yet to hear of the latter then you should be chuffed to be living in a society that has some sort of control over its youth. Few British films in recent times have had the giblets to portray Britain as it is: preferring to revel in a cinematic bubble of Richard Curtis productions or Guy Richie clones. The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael is about to change that… Welcome to the jungle....

The success of Gualtiero Jaccoppeti's, Franco Prosperi's and Paolo Cavara's Mondo Cane (aka 'A Dogs Life' 1962) inspired a whole host of imitations from around the world. In Italy Jacopetti and Prosperi's former collaborators Antonio Climati and Mario Morra directed the notorious Savage Man, Savage Beast (1975) and Savannah Violenta ( 1982 ). Exploitation legend Antonio Margheriti directed Il Pelo nel Mondo (aka Wicked World, Mondo Inferno, 1964), Alfredo Castiglioni directed Addio Ultimo Uomo (1978,...

Last night I screened the Argento cut of Dawn of the Dead to a rapturous and occasionally confused audience of Halloween freaks in the achingly hip Buffalo Bar, Cardiff.

Rapturous because it's Dawn of the Dead, it's Halloween and nothing gets a crowd in the mood for all night dancing like gut munching Zombies in an abandoned shopping centre.

Confusion because most of the people were familiar with the film and the alternate...

I'm a big believer in cinema as a taboo buster.

Certain topics are guaranteed to rankle a viewer and put them on edge from the off, regardless of the special effects, frightening monsters or atmospheric locale. Religion, children, animal cruelty and anything to do with race or nazism were always sure fire ways for a tatty little exploiter to draw attention to itself and the same applies to art-shock flicks, those movies that needle an audience with outrageous imagery but then claim...

Doug Grifton's 1983 B-Movie is a minor classic of the Robot Snake Genre (who can forget classics like Rattletron 3000 and Bionic Boa Riders) which did good business on VHS, thanks to it's outrageous body count...

Notes for your listening pleasure...

Turn down the bass around 37 minutes and back up around 40. I couldn't get rid of the fuzz without losing the ridiculous sense of space.

There are clipping errors and glitches all over the place, it's better that way.

It's mostly samples fed through cheap FX until everything floats about. Feel free to fall asleep halfway through. Some parts are designed to be trippy and

OK so I'm an aspiring Horror Director; have been making Short Films since I was 10. To cut a long story short, a few years ago I decided to attempt a homage to my beloved Giallo genre. That was SLASH HIVE (aka SIX DEATHS IN A WASP'S EYE);

which you can see here:



...We screened it around the place, various festivals, even got a plug on XFM by Alex Zane, who really liked it.

SLASH HIVE was shot in one day on bugger all money, so the...

Umberto Lenzi could be the man responsible for both the creation and the destruction of the Italian cannibal cycle. If it wasn’t for his 1972 effort Deep River Savages (A.K.A Man from Deep River) it’s likely we wouldn’t have had the genre’s crown jewel, Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust. Lenzi would go on to make the infamous Cannibal Ferox in 1981, that takes all the extreme elements of Deodato’s classic, but leaves the intelligence of that film behind, resulting in a truly offensive...

Scared To Death





Lugosi's only starring role in a colour film is not among his best work, but Bela is never boring to watch, even in a real crud like 'Bela Lugosi meets a Brooklyn Gorilla' (you can't make these titles up...).

In Scared To Death we follow the narration of a deceased woman who describes the events leading to her demise. Opening in a morgue, we here that a beautiful lady has died of fright, but how did such a terrible thing...

The Nun & The Devil






Following the huge success of Ken Russell churching baiting classic The Devils, the Italian B-movie industry kicked into gear with a slew of "Nunsploitation" cash-ins designed to rack up the sacrilege, sex and bloodshed to get punters into theatres. The Nun and The Devil is one of the better examples of the style and is a good movie despite being in extremely dubious taste. Taking place in a 16th century holy order, it shows...

Hal Manciano jumped on the Teen Beat bandwagon in 1957 with his spirited youth exploitation picture Motor-Teens Go Bananas (AKA Good Girls Go Ape / Burnt Rubber Hoedown).

Before continuing to bore the arses off of any passing labbers who haven't got the energy to click away with my riveting tales of school life I thought I'd give you a heads up on what troggi's cave is like!

To give you a bit of a geographical perspective anyone who has travelled by train to Portsmouth has probably seen our house. I suspect that Ms. Jackson has seen it many times when either approaching Fratton Station from Portsmouth & Southsea or leaving Fratton Station going...

El Rocco





El Rocco is currently the best selling artist on the Peruvian Muscle-Funk scene.

He first came to prominence as the lead singer in the multi-platinum teen band "El Grupo Del Sexi Go!" in the mid 80s, when the group was formed by music biz chancer Dick Jesus. A ruthless shark, he forced his teen charges up the South American hit parades through a strict regime of payola and intimidation. El Rocco faced violent threats and blackmail,...

Bande érotique de mélange







After downloading a stack of smutty radio spots, I figured the natural home of all this hilarious filth was a porntastic mix tape. Be warned... This isn't a child friendly mix tape and if naughty words like "love hole" or "cock" offend you, please be on your way.

If, on the other hand, you want to hear 35 minutes of psychedelic lounge music, Wah Wah Porno-funk and sassy women talkin' trash....

Salutations Labrats!

This despatch is a semi-regular epistle keeping film-lovers and interested parties informed with developments of Mad Science Films Ltd. and its uber-talented crew!

For this issue, I'll just list the credits I have so far, but future issues will contain videos, images, links and more info on each of these projects.

As you'll guess from the titles most are Horror/Sci-fi/Cult inspired:

Here is my first film review. I will put up a spoiler tag when I think I am giving something away. So here it goes.

Yesterday was my very first viewing of Duel (which I think started as a Made-for-TV-Movie!), and it terrified me! As a passenger who has witnessed annoying tailgating and been in an accident with another vehicle, I really related at how terrifying this could be.

Duel is about a man...

When it comes to classic genre films which are 'essential viewing', there isn't a definitive list, but, in 1999, Empire released a Special Collector's Edition supplement called The Greatest Horror Films Ever, which is a really good 'beginners guide' to horror. In it, there are 50 films in different categories of films, which I'll list here.

Creature Features
Frankenstein
Nosferatu
Dracula (1931)
The Mummy
The Bride of Frankenstein
Cat People...
