Il bosco 1

This movie would would be totally lame and would never receive a 9 star rating if it didn't have such rad gore. sure it's nowhere near as sweet as EVIL DEAD but what is? plus what do you expect from the French? Italy can often make up for it's lame attempts at ripping off American films by offering lots and lots of gore but i've never heard of the French doing the same. anyway that's what happened with EVIL CLUTCH... the movie itself totally sucks but there the gore is so rad that it doesn't matter. basically if you love gore and can get past the goofy French accents then this baby is not to be missed; but if you're looking for a well thought out original plot than run for it. hey it's got cool zombies and lots of splatter and that always rates good in my book.

An American woman played by Italian actress Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni of "Opera" fame is vacationing in Venice and decides to go with her local boyfriend on trip to the Alps.They run into a witch who says she was attacked and they give her a ride into town.There they meet a crazy guy on a motorcycle who speaks using a electrolarynx.They hike into the mountains and run into both of these people again up there.They also meet a zombie,who is chasing 'em without reason and promptly uses a fishing pole to catch a girl.The funniest thing is titular 'evil clutch'-a giant bloodthirsty claw protruding from witch's vagina.Hell yeah!This cheap and silly Italian "The Evil Dead" clone offers few amusing moments and plenty of grue.Lovers of bad cinema will be pleased with such oddity.

Have you ever wondered what the most blatant and shamelessly uninspired horror rip-off in history looks like? In that case, you are warmly invited to seek out the low-budgeted and amateurish Italian trash flick "Evil Clutch". This crazy thing so badly and so desperately wants to be "The Evil Dead" that it almost becomes pitiable. Fans of brainless and straightforward 80s splatter are still likely to have fun with it, but make no mistake, it is terrible.

Two young lovers on a trip through the Alps encounter a couple of demon creatures that first try to mislead them, but then rapidly turn out to be pure evil. There's a woman, who early in the film already clawed off the family jewels of a random guy, and an oddball motorist with a voice-box. When there's gore and bloodshed on screen, "Evil Clutch" is amusing enough, but most of the time it's dull and uneventful.

Should you choose to watch "Il Bosco1", make sure it's together with friends and turn it into a drinking game! A shot every time the film flagrantly imitates Sam Raimi's horror landmark, for instance. During the moments when the "evil" roams through the woods at high speed and just above ground is guaranteed to get you drunk!

Weird and dark. Dark and weird. Weird and dark. Weird film. Dark lighting. I usually fall asleep while watching it. But it's pretty cool. Just weird and dark.

A vacationing couple (Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni and Diego Ribon) head up into the Alps and end up running into a lady who begs them for help from some attacker. They drive her to a small village, she runs away, they meet a local crazy with a voicebox who warns of witches, they go camping, run into the woman again and get attacked by her. Oh, and this femme fatale has a large claw that extends from her groin and tries to kill people. This Italian film is heavily influenced by THE EVIL DEAD, but you can see director Andreas Marfori just doesn't have the talent to pull it off. It is like he watched Raimi's film with no translation. It is a shame as the film has many things going for it (nice camera work, great locations, tons of gore), but Marfori just can't get it to gel thanks to his incredibly wonky staging. He also overdoses on the use of the steadicam. The final scene with Coralina walking away from the carnage while followed by the steadicam goes on so long that it becomes a joke. Just when you get tired of it, the director then cuts to her continuing to walk with the camera in front of her for another minute or so. Jeez, such a shame.
