last house on the left (1972)
"You can ride on the roof."
Two teenage girls (Sandra Peabody & Lucy Grantham) head off to New York from the suburbs for a night out, but are instead kidnapped by a gang of psychotic escaped prisoners intent on rape and murder.
Horror movie that tempers its uncomfortable realism with some cartoon like ineptitude of the police.

vampyres (1975)
aka Blood Hunger. Daughters of Dracula. Satan's Daughters. Vampire Orgy. Vampyres: Daughters of Darkness.
"Who are you? Where do you come from?"
Fran and Miriam (Marianne Morris & Anulka Dziubinska) are sexual predators that prowl the byways of rural England, enticing drivers to a deserted mansion. Once there the duo has their way with the victims sexually, before draining them of their blood.
Low budget eurosleeze that manages to entertain and brings a certain poetry to the fore, despite the thin plot.

squirm (1976)
"Do you hear something?"
Mick (Don Scardino), a city boy, visits Geri (Patricia Pearcy) who lives in Fly Creek, a sleeply fishing village in rural Georgia, on the hunt for antiques. The town is recovering from a vicious thunder storm, that has knocked out all the power, and flooded the area. Geri takes Mick to visit a local dealers house, but all they find is a skeleton. Then later when they visit the local worm farm they find another, who or what can be killing these people?
A good mix of humour and suspence, keeps this low budget creature feature ticking along nicely.

"Ghosts don't exist anymore."
Oshare (Kimiko Ikegami) decides to spend her summer vacation at her aunt's house in the country with some of her friends from school. But what the girls don't know is that Oshare's aunt is dead and the house is actually haunted...
An outrageous and kitch classic, unlike anything else you will have ever seen. A simple plot delivered with immagination and verve.
