Sick-o-pathics

I have been looking for this piece for years and you know how that goes when you look forward to something only to be disapponited by it in the end. Sad to say this film does just that. Not that it is bad. It tries hard to be a cult horror comedy and does work in some points. But overall it just ends up being a run of the mill SOV cheese flick. Still it's way better than the Violent S*** series all put together. Kind of an Anthology horror style film with other small segements in between. What makes it totally worth a look is just to see all the underground horror greats like Linnea Quigley, David Warbeck, Sergio Stivaletti, and directors Joe D'Amato, Luigi Cozzi and most of all the late great Lucio Fulci in a cool Commercial type segment and I quote: "The best Breast from beyond the Grave". Lucio Fulci's daughter Antonella has a cameo as a Pregnant lady who's fetus is blown out threw the air. Fans of stuff like Black Past and Burning Moon will most like enjoy this over fans of Fulci or 80's Gore films. There are some choice gore scenes yet they are very low budget. But hey these guys tried, that counts for something at least. Worth a look, but dont kill yourself trying to find it. I give it 2 1/2 out of 5.

After meeting a clueless fan, an irate horror director kidnaps him and forces him to watch his old movies.

The Good Stor(ies): Hello Dolly-After meeting a sketchy salesman, a man brings home a cursed doll which may or may not be alive. This one had a lot to like, as the low-budget setup and payoff are fun, the effects are appropriately goopy and slimy and the payoff works nicely. It's just so short it barely has time to do anything other than careen towards as obvious a conclusion as can be.

Aeropophagous-Diagnosed with a terrible disease, a man afflicted by a debilitating condition tries to treat it before it gets out of hand. There's quite a lot to enjoy here, with the opening being a complete parody of the segment's namesake opening sequence with some decent gore before settling into a solid series of humorous gags related to his nauseating condition. It's played for laughs, not scares, but it's fast and fun for what it is.

The Bad Stor(ies): The Poor, The Flesh, and The Bag-In debt to a hoodlum, a man sees a way out when a neighbor loses a case of money with him only to discover a deadly secret about the bag. The general idea of this one has a fine twist in store for it but the budget betrays this one by making everything look quite silly which, alongside the uninspired hoodlum angle, undoes the fun had with the cheesy concept that's charming enough.
