Nurse Sherri (1978)

Horror movie about a demented professor of the occult, whose soul jumps into the curvaceous body of Nurse Sherri (Jill Jacobson) shortly before he dies on the operating table. The possessed lady in white then begins stalking, seducing and kill people - even her boyfriend - until someone puts an end to the madness.

Director Adamson and producer Sam Sherman weren't afraid to make a film, edit footage out and then edited stuff in just in order to make it sell. If you go through their work together you'll see several examples where they make a movie, it doesn't sell so they add something in to make it a drive-in hit. That's the case here as they delivered a "naughty" nurse type film but then decided to add in more horror elements, ala CARRIE and the end result was pure gold at the box office. Originally released with more horror elements, the latest DVD offers the long lost "adult" version, which features more nudity and that's the version I watched.

Naked Comes The Huntress (1978)

Three friends (Chen Sing, James Tien & Wong Ching) turn up in Manchuria to find fortunes and prosperity of some kind. Almost devoured by the perils of the land, the trio stumble upon a young, naked girl in the snowy landscape. She is Mien Mien (Lee Ying-Ying) who is actually using her still, naked body to attract the minks that she and her father hunt for a living. The trio of men are subsequently invited to her home where they work for the family in exchange for food and shelter. Soon the alluring nature of Mien Mien gets the lust in Wong Ching's character going but Mien Mien is saved by Chen Sing, the elder of the trio. Love is in the air but not in the eyes of the father who wants to marry the daughter to the younger James Tien character. Deception and betrayal soon enter...
A slightly bizarre, and all the more entertaining for it, film, more of a drama / thriller, than a martial arts film, although there are a couple of nicely (sammo hung) choreographed sequences. The film moves at a quick pace and has several twists and turns which work really well, keeping you on your toes. The use of the rural location, mainly in winter, works really well and adds something else to the ambience of the film's first act. Oh, and carrie lee is kinda cute...

Massacre Mafia Style (1978)

For longtime fans of Grindhouse cinema, the trailer for Duke Mitchell's Massacre Mafia Style is a real beloved treasure. Speaking personally, I can say that ever since I first saw it, it's been one of my all time favorites. One thing I always wanted to know after seeing it was whether the actual film lived up to the trailers iconic outrageousness. Well, after viewing the film now for the first time (thanks to a friend sending me a DVD-R copy of it), I am very happy to say that Massacre Mafia Style (aka The Executioner) is a really solid, entertaining, emotional low-budget mafia film.
The main man behind it all was Duke Mitchell, who film geeks may know from movies like Bela Lugosi Meets A Brooklyn Gorilla (1952), which he co-starred in with his then comedy partner Sammy Petrillo. Mitchell and Petrillo were actually an act that was a direct rip-off of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis. Mitchell was the suave Dean Martin clone and Sammy Petrillo was the boy-monkey Lewis wannabe. They were later sued as a result. In the late 1970s, Mitchell produced, wrote and directed two mafia genre films, Massacre Mafia Style and Gone With The Pope which was never completed before Mitchell's death in 1981, but thanks to the folks at Grindhouse Releasing, the film hopefully will be seeing the light of day on DVD in the near future.

Osou

Year: 1978
Duration: 01:13:10
Directed by: Yasuharu Hasebe
Actors:  Yoko Azusa, Asami Ogawa
Language: Japanese with English Subs
Country: Japan

Also known as:

Description:A Japanese police matron is raped by a black-gloved pickup driver in a very elegant and distressing rape scene. After the physical attack the woman becomes addicted with crude sex and violation.

Review: This was the only one of Hasebe’s five ‘violent pink’ films not to have ever had subs available. The other four (‘Rape!‘, ‘Raping’, ‘Assault! Jack the Ripper’ and ‘Rape! 13th Hour‘) have all been available with subs for some time (I made srt files for 3 of them), but VSoM never got round to this one for some reason. It ties with ’13th Hour’ as his best IMO.
