Stephen and Adam are back in actual movie territory with Mario Bava's brilliant A Bay of Blood. The film so good that Dario Argento had somebody steal a copy from an Italian cinema so that he could watch it whenever he wanted. https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/15-a-bay-of-blood

NastyPALs 14: Island of Death
Stephen and Adam have a rough time discussing a terrible film. Seriously, don't watch this film. However, do listen to a podcast about it! https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/14-island-of-death
Harpoon (Review)
One of my favourite types of film can be roughly defined as the cinema of escalation: a narrative approach in which a potent central conflict is pushed and pushed to the point of extremity. If you want a concrete example of this, look no further than Rob Grant's terrific exploitation movie, Harpoon. Harpoon also fits … Continue reading Harpoon (Review)
Dead Dicks (Review)
Often, a horror film is only as good as its central metaphor. This saying certainly holds up for the compelling, yet somewhat flawed, Dead Dicks. It's a film full of charm, spirit and clear passion, elevating it above the sum of its parts. The premise of Dead Dicks is really interesting, though merits a content … Continue reading Dead Dicks (Review)
NastyPALs Episode 13: Blood Feast
In episode 13, Stephen and Adam go on a pilgrimage, of sorts, to view the first ever gore movie: Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast. Is it good? No. Is it interesting? Most certainly! Now join us as we continue to chant: E-tar, E-tar, E-tar... ISHTAR! https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/13-blood-feast
NastyPALs Episode 12: Snuff
After a holiday hiatus, the boys are back to talk about about Snuff - the genre and the film. It's another fascinating film that you definitely shouldn't watch. https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/12-snuff
NastyPALs Episode 11: Don’t Go in the Woods… Alone!
Stephen and Adam take the deepest academic dive anybody has probably ever taken into the piece of trash that is 'Don't Go in the Woods... Alone!' Don't watch it and avoid those woods - unless you bring a friend, I guess. https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/11-dont-go-in-the-woods-alone
Climax (Review)
You should probably be suspicious of people who tell you they like Gaspar Noé's Climax. However, few will be able to deny it is at least a very impressive piece of work - as it combines extremely long single shots with extensive improvisation and avant-garde camera work, while still managing to remain internally coherent (I … Continue reading Climax (Review)
NastyPALs Episode 10: The Last House on the Left
A supposed classic. A famously controversial movie banned for years and censored in the UK until the early 21st century. So, does it hold up? Is it still shocking? Join us, with a special guest, as we dissect Wes Craven's debut feature and explore its impact and legacy. https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/10-the-last-house-on-the-left
NastyPALs Episode 7: The Toolbox Murders
Stephen and Adam mildly disagree over the merits of low budget trash. Is the Toolbox Murders reprehensible garbage? Is it a stealth art film? Does it have things to say, and if so... What, and why? Find out! https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/7-the-toolbox-murders
