Psycho: The Snuff Reels-In the tradition of GUINEA PIG and LAST HOUSE ON DEAD-END STREET comes this disturbing Japanese shot on video "Film" about three guys and a woman who start off trying to shoot pornography and instead decend into the disgusting world of snuff films. Ultra gory and ultra sick, so be ready!. Please note that there are NO SUBTITLES for this film, however none exist and there is little dialogue.

After Red Room 1, the director clearly thought that he hadn't repulsed enough people or gone over the line enough. There were still boundaries to be tampered with and unchartered taboos to explore. Cue Red Room 2, a rather sick experiment in just how far cinema can go before losing all of its artistic merit and becoming purely an experiment in how thoroughly we can sicken ourselves. Unfortunately all our 'loved' characters bar one from the last installment are next to dead, so we're now presented with four fresh hopefuls. The drill is exactly the same as the last film - four contenders sit in a room and draw cards. The outcome of the draws decides who will receive a certain 'punishment' as part of the game, who will administer it, who will just watch, and who will decide what it is. The one left alive at the end of all the rounds wins the game. The punishments themselves are all the more intense and immoral than in Red Room 1, involving toothbrushes, hammers, a bowl of vomit [which looks too much like porridge] and one particular scene involving a pregnant girl which is totally over the mark. Please note that there are NO SUBTITLES for this film, however none exist and there is little dialogue.

Set in the Nazi-controlled, northern Italian state of Salo in 1944, four dignitaries round up sixteen perfect specimens of youth and take them together with guards, servants and studs to a palace near Marzabotto. In addition, there are four middle-aged women: three of whom recount arousing stories whilst the fourth accompanies on the piano. The story is largely taken up with their recounting the stories of Dante and De Sade: the Circle of Manias, the Circle of Shit and the Circle of Blood. Following this, the youths are executed whilst each libertine takes his turn as voyeur.

Sicko Jap trash about three punks who kidnap schoolgirls and gang rape them. When one tries to escape they tie her up and use her as a punching bag until she pisses herself. When she eventually dies (dropping those barbells on her probably wasn't a good idea) they drive her body out to a riverbank, drop it in a 50-gallon drum and fill it with cement. The End! Has that "based on a true story" feel to it because... it's based on a true story! In fact, one of our Japanese contacts informs us that the ringleader was recently released from prison after doing a 10-year stretch and promptly went out and tortured someone else! Optically censored and the tape had a few brief glitches but good quality otherwise. This is an extremly rare film and no subtitles for it are known to exist.

SPK is an Australian industrial band which puts their music to autopsies and real photos of death. The grossest part of this tape is someone brought a video camera into the morgue and well liberties have been taken with the corpses. "Despair" mixes live performance of SPK with truly sick and bizarre imagery involving the mutilation of dead animals on stage.On the other hand, "Human Post Mortem" is simply a dupe from the original 1982 "Despair" tape. It's shows two incredibly graphic autopsies accompanied by SPK's industrial music. We see for example the mutilation of a dead cat, footage from death camps, foetal deformities, brain operations and grotesque corpses. In the most revolting sequence an individual manoeuvres a detached head to perform clumsy fellatio on a penis protruding from the severed, lower extremities of a corpse. In several ways "Despair" reminded me "The Way of Eden" by Robert Adrian Pejo-extremely disturbing documentary about death and dissection. The music of SPK will also give you nightmares for weeks-be sure to check out especially three of their early albums: "Leichenschrei", "Information Overload Unit" and "Zamia Lehmanni".
