La muerte ronda a Mónica aka Death haunts Monica(1976)

Monica is a wealthy heiress with some problems. Her husband Fredrico is not only married to her for her money, he also has an affair and has a criminal past that she knows nothing about.And  as an old partner in crime returns to blackmail Fredrico and a mysterious man in black tries to kill Monica everything spirals out of control.

Death really haunts poor Monica in this  very nice spanish giallo with a twist ending you wont see coming.  Not as violent as a giallo can be but truly a psychological  pleasant surprise.

Clash (1984)

A woman  is handed a suitcase full of cash she must carry to a gangster hideout in an abandoned desolate  factory. She must stay there  for three days  but soon she finds herself locked in with a mysterious dark man that haunts and terrorises her.

Dark  and beautiful French creepy surreal madness. A film about facing inner demons and making peace with your inner child  . If you like creepy mannequins, weird children and selfmutilating women banging their head against the wall, then this is it.

Witchdoctor of the living dead (198?)



In this Nigerian Voodoo Zombie  trashfest a witchdoctor terrorizes a village  with various plauges and strange happenings such as snakes coming out of womens mouths. As a local christian priest tries to stop the curse the witchdoctor summons up the dead and launches an attack on the village.

Oh my Oh my, this is crap but its really good crap, in a craptastic megarare sort of way. Since this 80ies oddity is only availible on second hand vhs copys/rips the quality sucks, not that it was any good to begin with im sure. Anyways, we have a pleasant mix of black magic, voodoo, zombies, bad acting , bad sound editing and some really strange scenes with a pink wig on a dancing priest (Yeah its like wtf?) This can just be one of the rarest zombiefilms you´ll ever get to see if you can get your hands on it.

    Emma, puertas oscuras (1974)




    Teenage girl Emma (Susanna East) is involved in a car accident and suffers a serious mental condition. Against the doctors wishes her mother decides to lock her up and care for her at home but her behavior gets worse by every day until she loses all control and begins a murderous rampage.

    Spanish cinema at its finest, José Ramón Larraz delivers a gritty shocking psycho slasher tale of a teenage girl gone bad, really bad. This is some obscure, rare stuff that is definitely  worth a watch.
