Like a granny quilt made from human flesh: quaintly unsettling. While this story of an insane asylum where the patients are allowed to run free is poorly made (the editing is atrocious) and very dated, there is something about the disturbing charm of a 70s movie that tries to do for mental health what The Texas Chainsaw Massacre did for Texas. Anyway, I enjoyed it for no reason other than the glorious 70s kitsch and you should, too.

Probably the worst Video Nasty. First saw it when I was thirteen and hated it. Not even the (somewhat wonky) tits impressed me. Even The Driller Killer was cool when I was thirteen, despite being greatly inferior to its contemporaries. I gave this one a rewatch in my journey thru the Video Nasties, and nearly ten years later I still hate it. Most might regard The Ghastly Ones, which I haven't seen yet, as the worst, but I quite like Andy Milligan's work, so we'll see.

Pretty bad schlockfest of a film. The acting is so over the top, but not enough to be campy. The premise and twist are okay and there's a couple hilarious bits in it, but not enough to recommend.

My local indie theater surprised us with _Don't Look In The Basement_ (1973) tonight, and halfway through I realized that it was the film within a film featured in my childhood favorite horror, _HOUSE_ (1986). I whispered to myself, "yes, this is the one."

This wasn't bad in the slightest despite its slasher-film mentality and shoestring budget. Not bad at all if you have the stomach for this sort of thing.
