GIRL IN ROOM 2A 1973 (MONDO MACABRO)
Finally this great little Italian Giallo makes it to DVD in a completely uncut form. Daniela Giordano stars as a young woman looking into the mystery of the women who have stayed in the same room as she is staying in that have disappeared.
This investigation leads her to a terrifying group that makes women pay for their "sins" with pain. Raf Vallone leads the group and the head torturer turns out to be someone you really wouldn't suspect. I won't give it away here, but I do recommend this film as it is an excellent way to spend a dark. late night.
Oh yes and any film with Rosalba Neri in it gets high marks from me, even if she does retain all her clothes.

YOUNG COUPLES ONLY 1955 (SINISTER CINEMA)
Peter Lorre stars in this weird little TV show about young people who move into an apartment after having passed a physical. Bill Williams and Barbara Hale star as one of the couples who begin to suspect something is very wrong.
Turns out the building is more than what people think. I won't give it away, but the ending is a kicker. I liked this show a lot and think you will too. The story is by Richard Matheson.

CANNIBAL GIRLS 1973 (SHOUT FACTORY)
Unique little film from director Ivan Reitman about a strange cult of three beautiful women and their "Master" who are actually cannibals. They lure men to the house and seduce them, then kill them and have them for dinner.
Great made in Canada shocker with some comedy thrown in...very dark comedy that is.
Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin are a young couple entrapped by the women and it soon seems the entire town is in on this as well.
This disc also gives you the option of playing the original "Warning Bell" that was on the movie when it ran in theaters. if the bell sounded you wanted to close your eyes as a gore scene was coming up.
Great stuff here and Highly Recommended!!

THE DEADLY SPAWN 1983 (SYNAPSE)
Modern day filmmakers spend way too much money and make crap that isn't even the least bit entertaining, and yet here is a film made for around $27,000 that manages to be both scary and fun at the same time with some excellent gore effects.
The story starts with a meteor hitting earth and suddenly two men camping in the woods are attacked and devoured by a hideous monster we only see in the shadows of the tent.
The next morning the action switches to an old but wonderful looking house where a family is just getting up to begin a Saturday. The montster has crept into the basement as a result of the window being left open,and soon all hell breaks loose in the house with many flesh eating monsters running around.
The actors all play their roles very well and director Doug McKeown has never made another film from what I can find out about him and that is a shame. He proves he is very talented and knows how to build shock and suspense and to use a camera wisely.
The monster is one of the scariest things I have seen in a movie with three heads and a billion teeth!! It is one hell of an eating machine and several cast members whom we grow to like very well are killed.
If you haven't seen this film, by all means do. You won't regret it. And wait until you see the ending...lol..what a kicker.
