so far this year i've watched 144 films. i can legally change my name to "Radley Fucksalot". anyway, so i have less to worry about later this year, here's the first round;

LET THE CORPSES TAN (dir: Helene Cattet, Bruno Forzani)

the duo behind Amer and The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears fever-grounded swirling of polizia thriller grit and spaghetti western heatstroke.

SLAVE TO THE GRIND (dir. Doug Brown)

maybe ignore the worn out '77 punk retrospectives and take a look at a genre that has actually maintained relevance throughout its existence.

POSSUM (dir. Matthew Holness) 

somewhere between Cronenberg's Spider and Andrew Getty's The Evil Within lurks this curio

SKIINER (dir. Ivan Naggy) 

a wonderfully insensitive addition to the 1990s DTV serial killer syllabus. 

LOLITA: VIBRATOR TORTURE (dir. Hisayasu Sato) 

Japan's Poet Laureate of Pinku Eiga pushes the Roman Porno to its most repellent extremes.

PIERCING (dir. Nicolas Pesce) 

the director of Eyes of My Mother returns with an American spin on the aforementioned Nikatsu Roman Porno series with a little boost from Audition scribe Ryu Murakami (who wrote the source novel).

HAGAZUSSA: A HEATHEN'S CURSE  (dir. Lucas Feigelfeld) 

a painterly, primordial shriek of mythomanical mutilation.

DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE (dir. S. Craig Zahler) 

more novelistic psychosis from the pulping populist ID.

PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT  (dir. Dennis Coooper, Zac Farley) 

motivations sharpened by ennui.

SAINT BERNARD  (dir. Gabe Bartalos) 

there is no where to begin with this one.
