A TASTE FOR FEAR (DVD) bizarre futuristic erotic giallo thriller

This week we have a pretty weird one - a late Italian entry in the infamous giallo genre - but this one seems to takes place in a kind of alternate reality.  The filmmakers were going for the future I assume, but it ends up being like a weird bizarro version of the eighties where every one is a sleezebag.  This is the rare Japanese print that runs a couple minutes longer than the domestic release, but since it is from a Japanese source, below the waist nudity is censored..........





A TASTE FOR FEAR (1988)

     A female fashion photographer who specializes in trendy soft core imagery is introduced to a muscular girl model by her ex-boyfriend who makes bondage films.  She asks the bodybuilder to model in her next shoot after they have a lesbian encounter, but she soon turns up bound, gagged and dead after accepting a job at another shoot. 

     A tough cop focuses his suspicions on the photographer's old flame, the bondage film maker.  It isn't long before another model is murdered, but this time a video disks shows up depicting the crimes.  The cop thinks he now has the evidence to nab his suspect, except the killer in the video appears to be a red-headed woman.


     This truly bizarre erotic giallo thriller that takes place in an eighties version of the future where they drive slick electric cars and the cops use ray-guns.  Even with it's over-the-top eighties vibe, director Piccio Raffanini does succeed in pulling off some very slick and stylish photography creating a surreal world that is undeniably interesting. Stars Virginia Hey (The Road Warrior) as the photographer and includes a cameo role from Kid Creole.

FIREBACK (DVD) Vietnam POW ninja revenge insanity


Wow - this one is awesome.....well, if you are a fan of ridiculous Filipino action that is.  It stars Richard Harrison and some other regulars from the Filipino war trash scene and is directed by Teddy Page who made the hardcore PHANTOM SOLDIERS that we just released a few weeks back.....








FIREBACK (1983)

     An American colonel stationed in Vietnam is showing off a new multi barrel gun when the Viet Cong attack during the demonstration and take him prisoner.   When he is liberated from the prison camp and finally taken home, the colonel finds that his wife has been abducted and he's being set up for a variety of crimes.

     Hellbent on finding his lost love, the colonel jumps into to action and starts beating the hell out of various sleaze bags who may or may not hold any relevant information as to her whereabouts. The body count climbs as he hunts for answers, and now the police are eager to apprehend who they believe to be possible unhinged psycho.  The colonel eventually bust out his ninja gear to infiltrates the mansion of the man behind the kidnapping and proceeds to deal out some well deserved violent justice.


     Richard Harrison (Scorpion Thunderbolt) stars as the colonel and Godfrey Ho regular Bruce Baron also shows up in this low-budget Filipino production directed by Teddy Page (Phantom Soldiers).  With its atrocious dubbing, nonsensical plot, and insane music, there is a laugh a minute for fans of the genre that can enjoy its reprehensible cinematic qualities.

DEMON WIND (DVD) satanic Evil Dead inspired demon horror

It has been awhile since we got to add some supernatural horror to the collection - and this one is definitely a worthy guilty pleasure. Way more gore and effects than you would expect, this Evil Dead rip-off delivers the goods and is definitely a must if you missed it went it originally was released...........



DEMON WIND (1990)  

     Guided by visions and fueled by a burning curiosity, a young man decides to investigate his familys mysterious past.  Along some friends, the group travel to an abandoned farm where several members of his family met with horrible fates decades earlier.



     Upon arrival an old man warns them that the place is cursed and the Devil himself is said to possess the land, but the young man insists that his fate lies with the old farmhouse.  He soon realizes that his family was practicing black magic, and now the demons and the undead are beginning to attack again, killing or possessing his friends one by one.


     With its diabolical undertones, heavy gore effects, and relatively decent acting, this Evil Dead inpired film is a cut above the normal uninspired horror entries of the time.  Demon hordes, magic spells, phantom fog, and horrible gruesome deaths pave the way for maintaining a dreadful atmosphere thoughout the film.

ULTIMAX FORCE (DVD) rare Ninja / Namsploitation hybrid

This week have a great one that came out of the Philippines during the Vietnam action movie boom of the eighties.  Half Ninja flick, half Vietnam commando adventure, this one is a lot more successful and coherent than a Godfrey Ho production, but still provides some good laughs as well..........






ULTIMAX FORCE (1986)

     Four ninjas are selected for an important mission, but first they must go through a hardcore test to prove their ultimate skills in ninjitsu combat.  When all four of them make it through the test alive, they find out that one of their fellow warriors is a POW who is still being held in Vietnam.  Their mission is to go in, infiltrate the camp, and bring home their friend and any other missing soldiers.

     After gathering the information and equipment they need, the team arrange a flight into Laos to begin their quest.  These ninja warriors are also hardened soldiers and their arsenal includes machine guns as well as swords.  As they make their way through the jungle, the Vietcong body count climbs as they slash, shoot, and blow-up their way to the POW camp.


     Willy Milan (W is War) directs this truly unique Ninja and Namsploitation hybrid and fills it with enough punch-ups, showdowns, shootouts and explosions to satisfy a fan of either genre.

NEON CITY (DVD) Post-apocalyptic road trip with Michael Ironside

This weeks release is one we tracked down for our friend Anders who loves all thing post-apocalyptic and nuclear.  We were able to find some rare art that was cleaned up to make a killer sleeve and we also created a new logo that is truer to the original opening title sequence.  Last but not least - this early nineties gem stars a personal favourite Michael "REVOK" Ironside..........







NEON CITY (1991)

     It is the year 2053, earth has been devastated by a military experiment gone awry and the inhabitants have been divided into diseased mutants and healthy people. With the ozone layer now gone, radioactive clouds drift across the plains, and unpredictable, intense bursts of ultra-violet sunlight incinerate anyone caught outside. 


     A bounty hunter has to transport a tough lady outlaw from the frontier town of Jericho to the paradise safe haven of Neon City.  Along with six civilians who are totally unprepared for the dangerous journey, the bounty hunter and his prisoner board an armored transport vehicle driven by an ex-con.  To get to the city they will all be forced to battle for their lives as they pass though radioactive clouds, unstable paved roads, and nomadic motorcycle riders who kill anyone venturing though their territory.


     This entertaining post-apocalyptic romp has a great B-movie cast including Michael Ironside (Scanners), Vanity (The Last Dragon), and former NFL defensive linesman, the late great Lyle Alzado.  The Hughes Brothers must have taken a look at this film at some point as it has some similarities to their film, The Book of Eli.

OPEN HOUSE (DVD) rare '80s giallo style slasher

Hope everyone had a great July 4th and Canada Day.  This week we have a rare slasher our friend Seth suggested we track down and we thought it would be a good release honoring a weekend that has people going from house to house partying.......




OPEN HOUSE (1987)

     Beverly Hills real estate agents and their clients are being viciously murdered at an astonishing rate.  The only person who has any kind of lead is radio talk show psychologist who solicits his audience's reaction to the murder.  Amid the barrage of phone calls comes one from someone who states with frightening conviction that the murder victims deserved to be killed.

Meanwhile, the psychologist's girlfriend become very frightened since she is the most successful realtor in town, making her and her staff prime targets. Her competition becomes smaller and smaller as more people are killed, bringing the murderer dangerously close. 


This late '80s slasher draws upon giallo style techniques by keeping the killers appearance a mystery as well as his motive.  Along with Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog, Esacpe from New York), Creepshow) shedding her clothes, this film features some creative kills including a hanging with a garden hose, brutal electrocution, and an attack with a razor-bladed toilet-plunger. 

OPEN HOUSE is available immediately and can be found in the Slasher Flicks section of the website.  If it is still listed as COMING SOON, please email us at revok@revok.com with your request and we can send you a customized invoice so you can easily pay by PayPal or credit card.
