Celluloid Cult V1: Carnage Galore - DVD

Everyone in their upstate suburban community agrees that the Poe's are the picture-perfect family Pastor dad David, psychologist mom Clare, and the adorable 10-year-old twins Emily and Jack. But something has gone horribly wrong with the Poe children between Halloween and Easter, a grisly descent into madness and murder that David and Claire have captured on video. This 'found footage' will reveal the shocking series of events. This is their home movie. Adrian Pasdar of Heroes and Cady McClain of All My Children and As the World Turns star in this critically acclaimed and ferociously disturbing debut feature from writer/director Christopher Denham that rips open the dark side of the modern American family. You may never look at home videos the same way again...

Fernando DiLeo, best known for a series of westerns and crime films, tried his hand at horror with this extremely sick little item loaded with nudity and violence. Set at a remote mental institution (inexplicably located in a castle), the film features Klaus Kinski as a doctor whose mostly female patients are being brutally dispatched by a psychopath. Margaret Lee and Rosalba Neri are among the frequently unclothed cast, and there are decapitations, crossbow bolts in the eye, and - in some foreign prints- fairly explicit S*x.

If you can't stand the sight of flesh being stripped from the human body, please leave the room! This early gore classic has all the elements; beautiful babes, a mad scientist, and millions of carnivorous water spores. Directed by Jack Curtis.
