Weekend update


Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (Bruce Pittman - 1987)

A charming slasher, but let down by some bade choices story wise and aesthetically that where typical for the late 80thies. Viewed on MGM DVD / 1.85:1 / 16:9


Slaughter High (George Dugdale, Mark Ezra, Peter Mackenzie Litten -  1986)

Excellent entertainment value! This archetypical “let’s torture and disfigure the local nerd and he returns as an avenging monster” is a cheesy and fun piece of exploitation. And you have the lovely Caroline Munro cast as a bad girl. What isn’t there to like?

Viewed on a British DVD-release from Arrow Video. Nice transfer and quality all way around. 


Photos scandale (Jean-Claude Roy - 1979)

Brigitte Lahaie is taking scandalous photos of high society girls in a blackmail scheme. A very uneven film that initially comes across as a sexy crime movie where no chance of undressing is missed. As events unfold the depiction of sexual exploitation becomes more sordid and unpleasant and the end the protagonist finds true love. Initially I wanted to see this one because of ever lovely Lahaie, but it grew upon me.


Paul Raymond's Erotica (Brian Smedley-Aston  - 1982)

Watching Brigitte Lahaie in Scandalous Photos initiated a search in the archives and I came up with a British soft-core novelty. It features nude-dancing routines at London cabarets and Brigitte Lahaie plays the role as a reporter connecting the segments to something that looks like a feature. I fast- forwarded through parts.  I viewed this on a file downloaded from the net and it looked like a VHSrip.
