Xtro (1982) - Harry Bromley Davenport


While never actually being on the DPP list (but being seized nonetheless), this truly strange British "Alien" ripoff has a bit of everything. While obviously borrowing from "Alien" at times, this film also offers so much more - clowns, murdering toys, women giving birth to fullgrown men etc. The scene where the alien thingy strolls out in front of a car genuinely scared me too. I really like "Xtro" with all its quirks and its amazing soundtrack. I should see the sequels at some point...

Devil Fetus (1983) - Hung-Chuen Lau


In "Devil Fetus" we meet a chick that buys a jade vase that is supposed to make your deepest wishes come true. Apparently her wish was to be impregnated by a slimy white-haired demon, and this happens the very same evening! The devil-fetus is of course a mean bastard, and people begin dropping dead around it right away. Nicely paced and pretty wacky HK black magic flick. You don't really see the devil fetus much, but it is definitely there. Protip: Keep your eagle blood ready! Yay!

Chinese Magic (1983)


Taiwanese magic film! "Chinese Magic" consists more or less of nonstop magic, special effects and awesome sound effects. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, but I only have a basic idea of what actually happened in it as the copy I was watching had the subtitles cropped out during most of the film. Hopefully a copy in better shape appears of "Chinese Magic" someday, because it definitely deserves it. Talking frogs, fighting paper men, chest-bursting babies, curses, laser beams, virgin blood, menstruation jars! Great without subs and there is even a sequel!

The Unborn (1991) - Rodman Flender


Ordinary babies suck, but in-vitro babies are evil! Also, don't trust doctors, technology or progress. All of those things are bad according to this flick. Moms going mental, explodo births, backyard abortions, evil doctors, vicious rubber babies and Kathy Griffin getting clobbered to death! Not that bad, but too slow for a movie night. The baby is awesome once it enters the fray towards the end.

Baby Blood (1990) - Alain Robak


Primal demon from Africa enters abused circus chick and takes control over her pregnancy. Her new demon baby needs human blood asap! I vaguely remember being scared shitless by this when I was younger. While this film is a pretty bloody affair, it's actually more of a comedy than a horror film. "Baby Blood" is a neat little film that somehow manages to remind me of both "Braindead" and "Possession". 

The Rape After (1986) - Meng Hua Ho


Strange HK black magic flick. Peeps get raped by a cursed demon statue filled with the ashes of a dead baby. Demon baby rips off the head of a doctor, poopdemon drowns a monk in his own poo, shady abortions out of nowhere, a dude vomits frogs, ears gets ripped off, the undead shamble around, dude gets killed by burning birds, a chick chops off her own fingers, plants a cleaver in her own head and pours boiling oil on herself etc. HK has got to be a total freak zone... While some truly bizarre stuff happens in "The Rape After", the pacing is a bit off and leaves you bewildered. Yay?

Progeny (1998) - Brian Yuzna


Mid-coital abduction means alien baby! The inhabitants of the space hole are at it again, tentacle-raping and probing innocent chicks. Even though the baby most definitely is a tentacled beast, Sherry figures it's a great idea to keep it and care for it. Obviously a bad choice, seeing as alien babies truly are dicks. Sherry could learn a thing or two from watching "Miami Golem". There is some plot shit going on about losing time due to aliens, I definitely lost about 90 mins due to "Progeny".

(00:14:03) splittter: that was piss poor
(00:14:14) dresden: piss would look down on that film
(00:14:16) torb: fuck you, brian yuzna
(00:14:30) theNomad: fuck you with an alien tentacle

Gakidama (1985) - Masayoshi Sukita


A ghost-larva (funny, seeing as "larva" is latin for "ghost") enters the ear of a reporter and impregnates him. After going on a nonstop eating-binge the reporter gives birth to a tiny, lazy-eyed ghoul/gakidama. Oh, yeah and it exits through his mouth in quite messy fashion. The reporter then gets obsessed with finding and eating the gakidama himself... While the demon looks rubbery and silly, this flick has a pretty cool eerie vibe to it. Bonus: radical music during the end credits. Neat.

The Seventh Curse (1986) - Ngai Choi Lam


Haha, where to begin? "The Seventh Curse" is an off the hook adventure film starring Chow Yun-Fat and an incredibly annoying Maggie Cheung. A sort of badass cop gets cursed by savages in Thailand worshiping a blood drinking kung fu-skeleton, and the cop has to sort his shit out. Nonstop action and madness ensues. 100 kids are dropped in a meat grinder by an evil sorcerer to create a flying demon fetus, lots of martial arts, police raids, a giant Buddha head rolling after peeps with fountains of blood coming out of its eyes, insane stunts (I'm sure they killed some stuntmen with that car), nudity, gunfights. It all makes sense once you realize this was made by the director of "Story of Ricky". Double-yay! Also, Chow Yun-Fat with a rocket launcher is far more effective than the exorcist ever was.

Kamen Rider ZO (1993) - Keita Amemiya


A professor sets out to improve the human form. Turns out the best way to do this is to give a dude the power of the grasshopper! An odd choice, but the kamen rider-project seems to success anyways, the on the other hand, demon fetus he is working on is evil. Grasshopper rider vs. insectoid bastards controlled by demon fetus ensues, as the demon fetus hates the professor's kid. Good fun and nice rubber suits. Yay! 

Miami Golem (1985) - Alberto De Martino


Dumb as fuck Italian scifi-cheese! Plot involves a cell that turns into a goddamn vicious alien demon fetus with telekinetic powers. Also features: David Warbeck (of The Beyond), ghosts, Atlantis, UFOs, off-screen helicopter crashes and a boat chase. Watchable!
