Now that the fantastic show RADIO C3 (Cult Cinema Corner) is gone, CineKult is being called back to the front for some good old fashion cinema talk combat. Expect something. Nothing big, the world won’t change. You’ll all still be douchebags.

Movie Review: Bruce Campbell Protests Cannibalism in ‘Mindwarp’ (1992)

VHS Artwork

If somebody came up to you and started describing a sci-fi film where people plug themselves in to a virtual reality through inputs located on the back of their neck, but then followed that up by saying that it wasn’t The Matrix then you’d probably think that it was some sort of bad riddle. In retrospect, it probably is in a way but a little film called Mindwarp used this concept seven years before The Matrix did. While Mindwarp isn’t nearly as flashy or anywhere near the same category of success as The Matrix (or as good), it can probably pass for one of those sci-fi films you catch sporadically during a fit of insomnia while flipping through channels during the infancy of the day and enjoying more than you thought you would Read More →

Welcome Nudies & Cuties Alike to ‘Amazon Jail’ (1982)

If you’re one of those whiny dinks that watch exploitation and bitch and moan about the lighting, camera work or production values you obviously don’t “get it”. Truly sleazy cinema isn’t meant to be appreciated for its technical brilliance…IT’S ALL ABOUT THE NOOKIE. The smut peddlers that made these films knew they weren’t creating the next Gone with the Wind or Casablanca, they knew they’d end up flickering away in some dark theater filled with men wearing raincoats. Hey Kurosawa geeks, those sticky floors weren’t from pop and candy!

When I came across Blue Underground’s recent release of Amazon Jail I expected nothing less than semi-naked women in the Amazon. Imagine my surprise when I found out there wasn’t many semi-naked women in the Amazon! Nope, THEY WERE ALL NAKED IN THE AMAZON. Not only were they all naked but apparently they liked to catfight naked and wash each other’s clams! Thank God I smoked some crushed lithium in my crack pipe before popping this in because my heart almost stopped several times during this film. This flick had more beaver than a fur storage warehouse! There’s not much story here but who in the HELL cares?

A rich, scumbag white slaver is kidnapping women and turning them out as sex slaves for international buyers and businessmen. As you can imagine, the girls locked in a cage in the yard aren’t one bit pleased that they’re being forced to dance and partake in orgies. To show their protest, they constantly prance around the giant cage…naked. Read More →

‘Gwendoline’ (1985) – Kitaen Does French Kink Fantasy

When a DVD opens with eight naked women on the opening menu screen, you know what to expect. When two of those eight are chained up, you only hope it doesn’t let you down. When a ninth walks on, dressed in a leather bustier and carrying a whip, you are almost tempted to not watch the movie because there’s no way in hell it can live up to your expectations.

Gwendoline is based on the bawdy 1940’s comic strip “The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline” by fetish artist John Willie. Director Just Jaeckin stays true to the feel of the original for this movie and, just like a comic where everything happens in frames, the action is fast and occasionally disjointed and the dialog can be rather cartoonish. Even so, there are tits aplenty on display and scenes of bondage and domination are frequent and integral to the story. This is Sweet Gwendoline after all, and she’s a lady who often finds herself in peril, as women in the old serials so often were.
