Bohachi Bushido: Code of the Forgotten Eight 2008 Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Japanese cult movie guru Teruo Ishii (HORROR OF MALFORMED MEN; BLIND WOMAN’S CURSE) directs this deranged, over-the-top adaptation from the original manga by Kazuo Koike (creator of LONE WOLF AND CUB, LADY SNOWBLOOD and RAZOR HANZO) about a privileged samurai gang in charge of recruiting women for prostitution in old Edo’s pleasure quarter. It’s a perfect match for unapologetically decadent, phantasmagorical, softcore sex and bloody, sword-swinging sadism. Fascinating, brilliant and amoral, a tour through an ancient subculture obsessed with cruel, violent death and cruel, violent sex. Tetsuro Tanba (ZERO WOMAN: RED HANDCUFFS, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE) is a standout as the hardboiled mercenary swordsman caught in the middle between the sex slave business, the corrupt Shogunate and rival gangs. When he goes into action, blood sprays, and heads and limbs fly!

The Woman in Black was pretty good and I enjoyed watching it very much. The promo art for The Woman in Black: Angel of Death looks great. We have the same creepy spooky woman from the original looking out of the haunted house menacingly waiting to kill any who invade…
DmC: Devil May Cry will drop January 15, 2013 for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Screenshots are of the Bloody Palace Mode. This mode will be available after the player beats the game and delivers over 100 levels of demon killing fun!
Jonathan Glendenning’s Stripper vs. Werewolves cast includes Robert Englund. Everyone loves the work that Englund did with A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger and Englund will be a perfect match here.
