Owl be darned!

Michael Soavi's Stage Fright (AKA Aquarius, Deliria) remains an under-appreciated classic of italian horror cinema. Hyper stylised 80's carnage at it's best with one of the weirdest killer outfits in the history of celluloid captured moi-dah. Needless to say, the soundtrack by Simon Boswell is a cracker and well worth taking the time to track down.

The full movie is on yoooootube but unfortunately unless you know your rigatoni from your spaghetti hoops you'll find it a rather perplexing viewing experience. So why not have a wee swatch at the trailer instead?

The title says it all

Here's a rather amusing little number I was lucky enough to see at one of Strange Vice's movie nights in Glasgow. An unofficial follow up to Anthropophagus's baby munching madness, Absurd is an all out maniac on the loose movie with big George Eastman mashing up everyone in sight. Dumb cops, preposterous medical explanations and a particularly drawn out sequence involving a human oven chip make this a winner. Magic pummelling soundtrack as well, of course.
