Notes
Another one of my favorite finds, it's movies like this that kept me buying every oddball tape I could get my hands on.  From its opening sequence, where Richard Harrison plays tennis with two topless chicks in slow motion while an incredibly infectious funk song jams in the background, to its kung fu bullfight finished with x-ray animation, to its berserk sperm-killing plotline that might as well have stepped out of an Arizal film, there's something here to put a smile on anyone's face.  When Mondo Macabro first told me they were grabbing some films from Dick Randall's estate I practically begged them to pick this one up.  Happily, they were already on the case and unleashed a great looking, properly framed release paired with the insane Filipino midget spy flick, For Y'ur Height Only.  Highly, highly recommended.  Screenplay by Poon Fan!

You Can't Handle the Tooth -- Mondo Macabro's Pete Tombs on the Films of Jess Franco

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Back in 2004, I met up with Mondo Macabro's Pete Tombs and Andy Starke, who were in town working on the supplements to their then-upcoming DVD of Parts: The Clonus Horror. Over the course of the night, as we guzzled beer and chowed down Ethiopian food, conversation inevitably turned to film and my personal Mondo Macabro wishlist.  Pining for the likes of Robert de Nesle-produced Franco fare, especially Lorna the Exorcist and The Perverse Countess, Pete chimed in, "Oh, we know where the rights are..."

Six years later, my favorite label has just issued a superlative edition of Jess Franco's classic, Sinner: The Secret Diary of a Nymphomaniac -- an easy inclusion for my upcoming Top Ten DVDs of 2010 list -- finally wrestled free of its tangled rights nightmare.  In celebration, here's a little chat with Pete about the obscenely prolific director and the effort put forth to do his films up right.  

Cinema Arcana:  What is it about the films of Jess Franco that, for all his faults, makes his output so alluring?

Pete Tombs:  I guess Franco is someone who always went his own way.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but there's usually something memorable, in even the smallest of his films. Sometimes just a scene, sometimes just the mood or atmosphere.  It has to be said that there are many who don't like what he does and to try to defend him from the critical brickbats of his detractors is not a task I would wish to take on.  (Not that he needs me to do it!)  What was it Donovan sang?  "Someone's opinion of moonlight..."

CA:  What are your personal favorites?

PT:  The Francos that I find most memorable are Lorna the Exorcist, Sinner, Eugenie, Diabolical Dr. Z, Shining Sex...

CA:  The Robert de Nesle-produced films have had a notoriously rocky road to their DVD debuts.  What exactly did you have to go through to get this deal made?

PT:  I could write a book about the travails we went through to get the de Nesle films licensed.  But I won't.  I'm happy to let the bad memories fade.  Let's just say that there were numerous personal, legal and financial hurdles to jump and at one point it seemed like new hurdles were being added every week.  Anyway, who cares at the end of the day?  We got a couple of them out there and they're good ones.

There are some interesting extras on both.  We get Stephen Thrower's thoughts on the films and on Franco - ahead of the mammoth and essential book-length study he's currently working on.

We also get, for the first time as far as I'm aware, an interview with Gerard Kikoine giving us his memories of Robert de Nesle and working on the Franco films.  Lots of interesting stuff there, much of it new to me.

CA:  You've talked a bit on blogs and messageboards about the problems with the original elements to Lorna the Exorcist.  What sort of shape were they in?  How did you manage to piece together your final transfer?  Is there any more unseen footage besides the legendary dildo bit?

PT:  The Lorna negative supplied to us (and so far as we can see, the only materials available) had been edited by de Nesle and turned into a porno movie.  And it looks like whoever did it threw away or misplaced the footage they cut out.  Certainly we couldn't find it.  However, thanks to the indefatigable Lucas Balbo we were able to locate some rare 35mm prints of the film.  To our great delight, both contained scenes that had not been in any of the video versions of the film we had seen, which meant that we were able to reconstruct what we believe to be the original near 100-minute cut of the film that was widely thought lost forever.  Some of the material is in pretty poor condition, but we spent a small fortune doing as much as we could to make it watchable - and I think it looks very good now.  Some of it looks spectacular.  There are a number of extra scenes and lots of extended bits that will be new to viewers in this version.

CA:  With Sinner now available and Lorna on the slate for January, what else can we look forward to from Mondo Macabro in 2011?

PT:  Our next release is a complete contrast to the Franco films.  It's Strip-Tease - the 1962 French film starring Nico, of Velvet Underground fame.  This has never been issued on any form of home video before and has only been rarely seen since its initial release.  For Nico fans (and I hope there's a lot of them out there!) this will be a must buy.

Thanks, Pete!  The photos of Jess on set come courtesy of Mondo Macabro.  For more Mondo Macabro news, check out their website and blog.

It's Name that Movie Monday! Challenge #14!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome back to Name that Movie Monday!

It's time for Challenge #14 here at the ol' Arcana! Can you identify this week's mystery photo, scanned direct from The Holecheck Archives? If you think you recognize it, post a comment below. As the week goes on, if no one guesses correctly I'll begin adding some pretty useless hints. Easy, right?

(And forgive the lack of non-Challenge posts lately; I had one lined up for the weekend, but Blogger was kinda being a dick. Fear not, there'll be posts aplenty soon enough; I currently have four interviews in the works, two random articles, a few top ten lists and some rare behind-the-scenes stuff I think you guys will dig.  Stay tuned!)

Anyway, here ya' go -- good luck! (And could my still get any more beat up?)


UPDATE:

Kudos to Chris Poggiali (Temple of Schlock) for making it a hat trick (our first!) by identifying William L. Rose's Girl in Room 2A (1973). Ostensibly a giallo following the demented goings-on at a way-out boardinghouse, it's usually derided for being slow or nonsensical, but when has that ever bothered us?  For the less-demanding viewer, there's plenty of fun to be found here.

Girl in Room 2A is probably most notable for its oddball mutt pedigree.  Filmed in Italy with an Italian crew, the director is actually an American known to Something Weird followers for his '60s New York-based roughie work like Rent-A-Girl and the Olga series. Production duties were shared with notorious exploitation producer Dick Randall. The cast is a hodgepodge of Eurotrash perennials, including Daniela Giordano, Brad Harris, Karin Schubert and even a small role for Rosalba Neri!

Joseph Brenner Associates, Inc. gave the film a domestic theatrical release in 1975, and, like most of their holdings, it was issued to VHS by Prism Entertainment in 1985. Unfortunately for fans, that's pretty much it.  It hit theatres in Italy under its original handle La Casa della Paura, but I don't think this version ever made it to video.  There are clips on Youtube containing Japanese subtitles, but I've never come across that edition (nor seen a cover scan!) and I'm not sure if it's any different than what JBA presented Stateside. I was hoping Mondo Macabro would issue it on DVD as part of their Dick Randall Collection, but was told Spectacular Trading doesn't hold the US rights. I guess all is we can do is wait and hope that someday everything will get sorted and we'll get a proper release!

Here's the trailer, not exactly safe for work. (Did Brenner's crew make the best trailers or what?  Eyeball, Beyond Erotica, Torso, Because of the Cats... someone needs to make a custom comp of these suckers!)



(Since this post was originally written, Mondo Macabro did sort out Girl in Room 2A for DVD.  It can be purchased from Amazon here.)

Top Ten DVDs of... 2003?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mondo Digital mainpage was recently given a cosmetic overhaul, and in addition to its new look several older articles have been restored.  One such piece was a round-up of 2003's best DVDs that I compiled, with input from writers like Nathaniel Thompson, John Charles, Travis Crawford and Lee Williams.  I have included my contribution below, spruced up with some images and links.  Be sure and check out the original page linked above for the other writers' lists.  For purchasing links, just click the titles!

Top Ten DVDs of 2003:

EMANUELLE IN AMERICA (Blue Underground)
The disc everyone said couldn't be done. After years of waiting, the ever-dauntless Blue Underground unleash Joe D'amato's exercise in all things mind-melting to DVD in high style, with its horse-diddlin', hardcore sex and intense pseudo-snuff intact, backed up with a slate of worthwhile extras.  Laura Gemser's erotic adventures as free-spirited, globe-hopping reporter Emanuelle have never been treated with this much respect; let's hope it's only the beginning!

ESCAPE 2000 (Anchor Bay)
Here's one I've been rooting for ever since Anchor Bay's initial New World catalog acquisition -- an outlandish and gory futuristic updating of The Most Dangerous Game replete with multiple severed appendages, hyper werewolves in cross-country vehicles, hilarious political ramblings and Steve Railsback!  Usually disemboweled, this Aussie action flick amazingly turns up as a packed special edition showcasing a resplendent uncut transfer, an active sound remix, featurettes, commentary, trailers and more.  Who would have ever guessed?

Sleazy art?  Arty sleaze?  Something in between?  Now you can decide, thanks to Synapse's gorgeous debut of this bizarro slice of violent nunsploitation.  Impossible to find a good copy prior (complete tapes were fullframe and ltbx tapes were cut) and never even released to home video domestically, we can now view the classiest "naughty nun" flick of 'em all in virtually pristine condition.  Not much in the way of additional items (save an interview with starlet Florinda Balkan and a stills gallery), but it's the movie that really counts.
(Note: Since this initial writing, the film has been reissued on Blu-Ray by Scorpion Releasing.)

I DRINK YOUR BLOOD (Grindhouse)
David Durston's rabid hippie contagion classic finally lands on disc, and it's a doozy.  Aside from the remastered presentation of the main feature, Grindhouse have packed nearly every nook and cranny of this platter with some sort of supplemental material; it's enough to keep you busy for days.  Interviews, commentaries, photo collections, trailers and items that are just peripherally related to the film or its crew are included just for the sake of completeness.  All hail S.A.D.O.S.!

The epic tales of exiled executioner Ogami Ito are making their way to U.S. DVD after much delay, and let me tell ya', it was more than worth the wait.  Not only are the films (which detail the revenge-fueled exploits of samurai and child across feudal Japan) pure poetry in motion, but Animeigo's restored transfers take on an almost 3-D sheen that will steal your breath with every slow-motion spray of arterial crimson.  I picked the second entry of the series simply because I like its title more, but ALL are highly recommended.  No extras except for trailers and liner notes, but who cares?
(Note: Since this initial writing, Animeigo has upgraded the series to Blu-Ray.)

NEKROMANTIK 2 (Barrel)
Corpse-humpin' never seemed so sweet.  This strangely poignant and morbidly romantic account of the darker sides of human desire remains provocative viewing to this day, which shouldn't be a surprise considering it was purposely designed to alienate horror fans.  Never an outfit to skimp, Barrel have gone all out with its digital issue, not only delivering a beautiful transfer and loading on piles of sublime extras like outtakes, onset footage and commentaries, but also including the entire soundtracks to both installments on a bonus CD!

SCRAPBOOK (Sub Rosa)
To be frank, most independent films these days are total crap.  And do we really need another homemade serial killer opus?  Apparently yes, we did.  Believable acting, unexpected twists, inspired (but not showy) direction and a complete refusal to pull any punches whatsoever catapult this one way above its peers.  The end product is undeniably perverse, brutal and often hard to watch, but that's what makes it such an atypical surprise in a genre full of stale efforts.  Sub Rosa's DVD contains plenty of input from the makers by way of commentaries and behind-the-scenes footage, too.
(Note: Since this initial writing, the film has been reissued by Image Entertainment.)

SEVEN WOMEN FOR SATAN (Mondo Macabro)
Simply the most delirious piece of Eurotrash I've seen in years.  Reminiscent of Jean Rollin on speed, this former obscurity never fails to entertain, from its ridiculous storyline to its infectious score to director Michel Lemoine's jaw-droppingly insane turn in front of the camera.  In addition to a new transfer from the last film elements known to exist, Mondo Macabro includes a well-made interview segment, a trailer and a few informative text essays, but they're merely the icing on the cake with this newfound gem.

The hilariously misogynistic misadventures of one-eyed woman killer Richard Jennings get new life thanks to this wonderful collaboration between Something Weird and Image.  Possibly the most berserk films ever made, Michael and Roberta Findlay's grungy masterpieces of anti-female sentiment have never looked so sparkling and established fans will be thrilled to find additional footage, too!  While completely bereft of the bonus materials SWV are usually known for (there wasn't any room!), this trashy trilogy is still sure to destroy any relationship you're currently in.  "So long, sucker!"

Long seen only in horribly bastardized versions, Jess Franco's moody fever dream is now available in what can at last be considered its definitive presentation.  A personal, surreal and lyrical mediation on the uncertain nature of death that will undoubtedly frustrate some but fascinate followers with its poetic vagueness, this is not your usual Franco outing.  Bruno Nicolai's rhythmic, driving score only adds to the film's disorienting appeal.  Challenging, but rewarding.  Besides the superior French language option, Image also presents a trailer with exclusive footage and a collection of alternate takes and insert sequences.
(Note: Since this initial writing, Redemption has issued an excellent special edition on Blu-Ray.)

Honorable Mentions:
Alucarda (Mondo Macabro)
Blue Sunshine (Synapse)
Contamination (Blue Underground)
The Living Corpse (Mondo Macabro)
Revenge of the Ninja (MGM)

It's Name that Movie Monday! Challenge #9!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome back to Name that Movie Monday!

It's time for Challenge #9 here at the ol' Arcana. Can you identify this week's mystery photo, scanned direct from The Holecheck Archives? If you think you recognize it, post a comment below. As the week goes on, if no one guesses correctly (which hasn't been a problem lately... Challenge #8 was nailed in ten minutes flat!) I'll begin adding some pretty useless hints. Easy, right?

Here ya' go -- good luck!


UPDATE:

Congrats to Todd Bridges for finally identifying Juan Lopez Moctezuma's The Mansion of Madness (1973) after a record-setting 26-day stint!  Based on Edgar Allan Poe's 'The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether,' the film is an inmates-take-over-the-asylum piece, spiced up considerably with the director's surreal touches (he had previously collaborated with both Alejandro Jodorowsky and Fernando Arrabal) and some exceptional production design and locations.  While it doesn't reach the insane heights of his later Alucarda (then again, what does?), it's still an interesting movie well worth checking out for lovers of the weird and wild.

Group 1 International released a slightly trimmed version Stateside in 1976 under the more exploitative handle Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon, waiting a short time before pairing it with other acquisitions like Amuck (see Challenge #2). It fared pretty well on VHS, with two issues in the '80s; one by Catalina Home Video, and later by Magnum Entertainment.  (The former definitely more rare than the latter.)

These transfers were recycled into the DVD age through numerous budget-bin companies, and The Mansion of Madness didn't see a proper disc until 2005 when genre saviors Mondo Macabro cleaned it up for a nice, new, full-length special edition.  Their remastered presentation really adds to one's appreciation of the visuals, and they've supplemented it with several good extras, including a look at the director's work, a tribute by Guillermo del Toro, and more.  Be sure and give it a chance!

He’s Dead, Jim – Emilio Vieyra (1920-2010)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A memorial, of sorts.

On January 25th 2010, news broke that Argentina’s genre groundbreaker Emilio Vieyra had passed away. His career as a director was all over the map, moving freely from noirish crime tales to action comedies and vigilante thrillers, but it was his quintet of crackpot horror outings that really opened the eyes of psychotronic students on U.S. shores–Stay Tuned for Terror, The Deadly Organ, The Curious Dr. Humpp, The Nude Beast, and Blood of the Virgins.

In my opinion, Vieyra’s current popularity in the English-speaking world is really due to the tireless efforts of two people: Frank Henenlotter and Pete Tombs. I thought it was only right to give this pair a platform to share their memories of the man who gave us all so many wonderful hours of hyper hypo needle attacks, pissed-off brains in buckets, el happenings & stripper murders, vampires who turn into seagulls, mad scientists and more.

In Pete Tombs’ essential 1997 ‘Mondo Macabro’ text, there's a chapter (written by Diego Curubeto) dedicated to Argentina’s exploitation film history, including plenty of space dedicated to Emilio. In 2001 this idea was fleshed out as part of Channel 4’s UK television series of the same name, including an interview with the director himself. Two years later, Blood of the Virgins was issued on British DVD, followed by a stellar US release in 2004.

Take it away, Pete:

I was very sorry to read of the death of Emilio Vieyra. He lived to the ripe old age of 89 and was still working right up to the end. That's the way to go. I have very fond memories of meeting him ten years or so ago when we shot the Argentine episode of the Mondo Macabro TV series. He was very generous with both his time and his memories of those long ago pioneering days of Argentinean exploitation cinema. Although some of the Argentine newspapers described him as "the local Ed Wood," I know that he was held in high regard by many of the technicians and actors he worked with on those early films, several of whom went on to become significant figures in Argentina’s film world. His films, like the man, were lively and inventive. El venganza del sexo is something of an oddball masterpiece when seen in its original Spanish cut -- a truly original piece of work that will continue to be enjoyed long after all of us have turned to dust and joined Emilio at that big cinema in the sky.

Going back even further, El Culto de Vieyra really started in the early ‘90s, when Something Weird Video founder Mike Vraney and director Frank Henenlotter discovered the negative to The Curious Dr. Humpp during one of their now-famous exploitation excavations and unleashed it on an unsuspecting world. Thanks to Frank’s tantalizing catalog write-up, the film quickly became a bizarro must-see for fans of cinema arcana. Something Weird later also issued The Deadly Organ and Violated Love on VHS, and during the 2000s released Humpp and Organ to DVD, further widening Vieyra’s reputation as a Patagonian go-to for the weird and wonderful.

Here’s Frank, in his own words:

"Though I’m now a little fuzzy on the exact date and location, I still vividly remember the moment when I was prowling through the abandoned films left in an underground vault by a lab that had otherwise vanished and saw a row of cans marked “The Curious Dr. Humpp.” It was not a film I saw when it played Times Square in 1970, but there it was, orphaned and forgotten, and just begging me and Mike Vraney to pick it up and give it a home.

"I also vividly remember the first moment I watched it, utterly blown away by its heady mix of monsters, sex, and a talking brain in a jar with a bad attitude. The Curious Dr. Humpp quickly became one of the jewels in my “Sexy Shockers from the Vault” series released through Something Weird Video, and also my link to the man who made it, the Argentinean director Emilio Vieyra.

"A prolific director of Argentinean exploitation, Vieyra noticed the lack of fantastic films made in his country and, in the late 1960s, churned out five quirky gems back to back. One of them was La Venganza del Sexo, in which crazy Dr. Zoide’s sex experiments turn women into insatiable nymphomaniacs and men into stone-faced automatons. In one utterly delirious moment, one of those funny-faced robots is sent to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription causing the brain in the jar to angrily scold the doctor: “Anyone needing drugs doesn’t send a monster to a drug store!” (Director Vieyra can be glimpsed as a customer in the same drug store.)

"Venganza del Sexo was imported into the U.S. by sexploitation distributor Jerald Intrator whose specialty was shooting sex scenes in New York and splicing them into foreign films. Though Venganza already contained a healthy amount of skin, Intrator added 17 more minutes of sex inserts and changed the title to The Curious Dr. Humpp, which wasn’t a reference to the doctor’s inquisitive nature, but rather meant to echo I Am Curious (Yellow) which was then a box-office sensation.

"Shortly after Something Weird released Dr. Humpp on VHS, I got word that Emilio Vieyra was coming to New York and would like to meet me. I jumped at the chance and, though his English was bad and my Spanish was non-existent, we became friends. On a few more occasions when he was in Manhattan on business we would have dinner or breakfast together. A mild, dignified man with a sly sense of humor, he was a delight to know.

"He was also thrilled that Venganza was getting a new lease on life. Pretty much ignored on its Argentinean release, Vieyra was thrilled that this crazy American cult director was championing his baby and often mentioned me and Dr. Humpp in interviews back home (though he was not terribly thrilled with the added inserts).

"Emilio also gave me posters, stills, and copies of his other horror films. Extraña Invasion (Stay Tuned for Terror) is about mysterious signals emanating from television broadcasts which turn viewers into TV addicts. It stars Richard Conte and Vieyra himself as a deranged TV repairman. Sangre de Virgens (Blood of the Virgins) offers sexy bloodsucker Susan Beltran preying on a ski resort, with Vierya playing a police inspector. Placer Sangriento (The Deadly Organ / Feast of Flesh) is about a man in a monster mask who uses heroin and a strange tune on a record to turn women into love slaves. And the wonderful La Bestia Desnuda (The Nude Beast) is a wild, '60s-style thriller about another man in a monster mask killing off members of a theatrical troupe putting on a horror musical. Vieyra plays the show’s director with Aldo Barbero, Dr. Humpp himself, as the hero.

"I also enjoyed many of Vieyra’s other exploitation films and, of course, I enjoyed the man himself. I’m sorry to learn that he passed away at, I believe, the age of 89.

"In tribute, tonight I shall watch Dr. Humpp yet again, then La Bestia Desnuda for an all Emilio double bill."

Much obliged, Pete and Frank. Now what do we have to do to get The Nude Beast on DVD?
