Ecco and The Forbidden 2006 Horror Movie Review

It’s a Sick Sick World! Let George Sanders guide you through “a World Beyond Your Dreaming” in Ecco, which means “Look, Witness, Observe, and Behold” such sights as… The final performance of the Grand Guignol Theatre in Paris… A modern-day Black Mass performed outside London… A Human Pincushion who rams a rapier through his waist and a needle into his throat… And a young lady who castrates reindeer the old-fashioned way—with her teeth! Plus French Lesbians, the incredible Japanese ritual of Saidachi, a muscleman show for bored housewives, and a Parisian contest for “the Most Beautiful Butt.” All served with a lush score by Official Mondo Composer Riz Ortolani!

Plus: A “Mermaid” Stripper! A Nazi Stripper! “Authentic Virgin Strippers!” A School for Strippers! A Swiss Lesbian Club! A Portable Topless Bar! “One of the most fantastic Murder-for-Love cases in French history!” And a violent Nudie-Movie that’s actually a Karate-School Commercial! They’re just some of The Forbidden scenes on display in this deranged mondo skinflick from the men who made Mondo Freudo and Mondo Bizarro! And remember: “To many, it’s a Forbidden World! But to a chosen few, the world might seem to be an island of pleasure!”
