    Like the two movies that have come before it, this third (and supposedly final) film in the series, August Underground’s Penance, pushes the boundaries of what should be shown and rubs the viewers face in it. It’s another nasty little movie that will get under your skin and burrow in for the long haul in that there are a few images in this movie that will burn themselves into your brain. There are a lot of independent, shot on video gore films out there – few of them work, most of them suck. The August Underground movies work and succeed at what they set out to do, and that in and of itself is a rare feat.Read More »

    Diabolicamente… Letizia (1975)

    Micaela and Marcello are unable to conceive a child, so they decide to adopt their neice Letizia (Franca Gonella), who is at boarding school. Letizia, however, has had some congress with a demon, or is proficient in witchcraft, or is possessed by a vengeful spirit, or all of the above. Using her powers to bewitch men (and women…), Letizia induces the members of the household, including her adoptive parents, their maid, and their servant, into various compromising situations. Then, for some reason, people begin to die. Plot is not the strongest virtue of this film.

    You know the drill. Some witchcraft, some psychedelic nonsense, some skin. Voilà. Excellent soundtrack. Enjoy!Read More »
