ANTHROPOPHAGUS: Sick, nasty, gruesome and impressively SCARY.
The only Italian gore movie ever to make the cover of Famous Monsters Of Filmland (it shared the front of issue #180 with the Karloff Frankenstein Monster!), this Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massacessi) film contained some of the grossest situations ever committed to film when it came out. All these years later, even though practically the entire film industry is now devoted to coming up with the most offensive ideas possible and making audiences ill with lowest-common-denominator material, this still packs a wallop and is not for those with weak stomachs. Shot as ANTHROPOPHAGUS (spelled 'ANTROPOPHAGUS' in Italian) and known in some countries as THE ANTROPOPHAGUS BEAST or SAVAGE ISLAND, the cut U.S. version (missing some gore footage plus a few other scenes) was renamed THE GRIM REAPER and that's still the title by which this sick, pessimistic film is most widely known in America. Tisa Farrow (just after starring in ZOMBIE) joins a group of travelers on a trip to a small, isolated island off the Greek coast. They find the place deserted except for a strange woman and a few chewed-up corpses lying around. Soon it's learned that sailor Klaus Weltman (Luigi Montefeori a/k/a George Eastman) was once shipwrecked with his wife and son and spent weeks at sea floating on a lifeboat until he finally went totally nuts and ate his own family to survive. He now haunts the island, a tall, leering cannibal with staring eyes and a greenish, crusty, rotting face. We're told that this lone madman somehow either ate or frightened an entire community off the island and even the police could do nothing to stop him. How he managed this single-handedly is never explained, nor is his decaying face, but keep in mind, this was made shortly after John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN established a new subgenre in which crazy murderers could have mildly supernatural qualities and superhuman strength with no explanation whatsoever. Such is the case with Klaus, who breathes heavily and stares at people before he tears them to pieces, showing no mercy and taking no prisoners. The score is uneven, with early passages that sound ridiculous. Later on, when we see the ghoul's secret lair (dark catacombs piled with rotting bodies), a supremely scary soundtrack kicks in, sounding like a chorus of electronically-distorted voices of the despairing dead chanting an otherworldly warning. Much of the weird original soundtrack was replaced with library cues for the GRIM REAPER recut. Although it fails to tell much of a story, is slow-moving at times and doesn't even make good use of the island scenery, I have to admit this gritty, often harshly-judged exercise in blood-'n'-guts ultimately succeeds at being scary. And that's what horror movies are supposed to do, right? Midnight Video was the first to offer a complete uncut print. A follow-up, ABSURD a/k/a ANTHROPOPHAGUS 2, MONSTER HUNTER or even ZOMBIE 6: MONSTER HUNTER, also stars Eastman as a quasi-supernatural killer but despite often being referred to as a sequel, it's an unrelated story and the monster is a completely different character. Some sources erroneously refer to Klaus the ghoul as "Nikos" or "Mikos", but that's the miscreant from the sequel. Some English-subtitled prints change "Weltman" to "Boardman", possibly due to a mishearing of the name spoken in the original Italian, which sounds rather like they're saying "Waldman". Whatever you call it, this nasty low-budget souvenir of the '80s still has the power to chill viewers.

Better and more consistent perk-up than a energy drink.
I realize some humans don't like the taste or the way this makes them feel, but it always works on me exactly like it's supposed to. And I do NOT like Monster Energy Drinks or any of the brands I've tried. Only the little 5-Hour Shots give me the right amount of a little perk-up with no jitters, no crash, no headache or anything else unpleasant. True, they're not the best tasting stuff. But the taste doesn't linger in my mouth and if it bothers you, you can have a swig of juice or a soft drink or something afterward. Some of the flavors are a little stronger then others. I find orange to be the most effective and least strong-tasting. So I'd recommend orange for first-time users.

Great retro sci-fi fun with BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS.
BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980) Dir: Jimmy T. Murakami The sci-fi fun never stops in this marvelous bargain-priced STAR WARS-inspired space fantasy from producer Roger Corman. Along with a clever script by John Sayles and inventive art direction by a young James Cameron, there's a stirring early score by James Horner. Horner's music for BATTLE is so exceptional that it was later used in several other low-budget Corman productions. The chaotically overcrowded plot is essentially THE SEVEN SAMURAI in space. Richard Thomas is a farm boy from a small planet of gentle, robe-wearing pacifists. When their world is attacked by the laser-blasting space cruiser of heartless galactic warlord Sador (John Saxon, who seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself), Thomas embarks on a mission to recruit the galaxy's toughest and bravest fighters to come to their aid. There are enough alien cultures, mysterious planets, odd characters and imaginative science fiction ideas in this low-budget wonder to occupy an entire season of any STAR TREK teleseries. One drawback is that, in the interest of keeping things moving at hyperspeed, many interesting places and concepts are only superficially dealt with, leaving fans hungry for more details of these assorted lifeforms and their respective histories and cultures. Robert Vaughn gets to play what's basically a futuristic space mercenary version of the same character he was in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. Sybil Danning is super sexy as a tough alien "Valkyrie" in a great leather costume, Morgan Woodward is perfect as a wonderfully designed green lizard-man, and George Peppard has fun in his very campy role of "Space Cowboy". There's a robot factory, a dead planet, and a race of identical bald white aliens called The Nestor, who all share a single consciousness and provide some very funny dialogue. Sador's army consists of big mean mutants with lobotomy scars (one of many peculiar details that are left unexplored), and his plan is to live forever by regularly having body parts of his victims grafted onto himself to replace his own aging body bit by bit. The spaceship that looks like STAR TREK's Enterprise with breasts and has an inboard computer that talks with a silly old mama voice went a bit too far in the direction of camp for my taste, but the all-star cast of enthusiastic pros and excellent space battle effects, plus the parade of one clever set design after another, make this an endlessly entertaining, if sometimes juvenile, space adventure. If only more of the STAR WARS imitations in the '80s had shown as much imagination and offered as much Saturday matinee-style fun as this one.
