I'm not positive...but the first AU is not on dvd...yet. just Mordum and another new title coming very soon. I'd expect the first one though since these films are really starting to find a crowd. I agree with the earlier statements about these films looking better on vhs...because of the content and atmosphere. however, it still looks like snuff to me and the video looks like hell. it works.

Here's one I didn't see mentionned. Some of the humor (the bumbling cops) is rather silly but Anthony Wong's portrayal of a serial killer, which won him best HK actor in 1993, is fantastic. This is an extremely harrowing, disturbing , and gory film.

YES! and I have not yet grabbed this...although I have US2. I heard that this first one was much better. I'm on it...thanks for the reminder.

No problem, I knew this would be right up your alley.

As for US2 well it's only disturbing because it's so lousy.

Lucio Fulci's Zombie & Beyond

Cabin Fever, Final Destination 1 & 2 are not very scary but gory.

I agree with The Beyond, that thing scared the hell out of me, and it's really, really gory.

What a kick ass thread - seriously, I haven't heard of a lot of these flicks and I'll prob. end up watching them all.

THIS is what it's all about.

Thanks everyone.

For scary and gory I'd go with:
'Hellraiser'
'Hellbound: Hellraiser 2'.
Both atmospheric and extremely gory.

For atmospheric and not so much gory try:
'the Shining' (Kubrick)
'Pet Cemetary'
'Rosemary's Baby'
'What ever Happened to Baby Jane'
'Nosferatu' (silent & Werner Herzog versions)
'Freaks' (Todd Browning)

For straight gore try:
'Cannibal Ferox' (real animal deaths may offend)

The three movies that prolly disturb/upset me the most were already mentioned elsewhere in this thread:
'Salo'
'Exorcist'
'Requiem for a Dream'

All other versions are cut in some way such as...

U.K hacks out all the animal violence,as well as the rapes & anything that counts as 'sexual violence',which is basically everything in the film.

Recent 2-dvd Italian SE is minorly cut,missing some real execution footage durring the 'Last Road To Hell' documentary footage.

All this is intact on the EC release of the film.
Incorrect. The EC NTSC version is also cut during the "Last Road To Hell" segment. The earlier EC disc in PAL which is long OOP (with the green cover with the woman impaled on pole) was UNCUT, but not this one.

Well the bootleg VHS I got was taken from an EC release. So I assumed it was this dvd,or the original release...but everyone claimed the NTSC version was the same version...which I planned to get someday.

Guess I will have to wait & see if Grindhouse will ever get there asses together an finally release the ****ing dvd. IT has been what 5 years? Maybe longer?

these are all such great posts!!

i didn't realize how much i was missing. and julie they are all good. i did want many opinions and gutwrenchers were indeed some i had not thought of but were what i was going for in terms of expansionism of horizons.

some i have, but some of these sounded real good like haute tension and cannibal holocaust..i will look into, among others...now only if they were easy to get a hold of...

but these are so great keep them coming...i am so appreciative.

if you want gross, disturbing, exploitative and from Hong Kong check out the 1996 film:

The Ebola Syndrome

and for atmosphereic and just plain scary:

"The Innocents" - very underrated and raises the goosepimples from your neck - highly recommended (now where's the DVD?)

I have. Does not quite live up to Untold Story and Wong's performance here isn't quite as good but still one of the best Cat III HK films out there.

What the heck, let's add the following to the list and make it a top 3 of HK Cat III films:

HAUTE TENSION, Alexandre Aja's French gorefest set for Lions Gate release sometime this fall, has been given an NC-17 for its copious gore. And as of now, it looks like the company is going to stick with the rating instead of making cuts for an R or going out unrated. We can only applaud this decision, and encourage fans to check out the movie in theaters when it opens; the more NC-17 movies are successful, the faster the stigma will disappear and the rating will become a viable one."
that is from fangoria.com. so we should be getting a complete domestic release that will satisfy all. as far as the French un-cut edition with no english subs...I say get it if you cant hold off. I've seen the Korean disc, so I pretty much understand the story and all....but really missed out on the complete version. now I'm getting the French dvd just for the uncut version....and can really care less about the audio. thats just the way I am with certian releases.

I have no idea why Lions Gate is being so vague on it's release plan for HAUTE TENSION - they seem to be sitting on the fence with this. Fango mentioned at one point that LG wouldn't be releasing this until early 2005 - I hope that they aren't and release this promptly with all the hyped up advance word.

I'll be pissed if they release it with the domestic title...Switchblade Romance.

LG...please leave the title alone!

I may hold off until more info gets out. 34 or 35 bucks for that movie seems a little steep, seeing that it has no english subs. If I can find it cheaper in France when I am there in the summer I'll pick it up. thanks for the help gutwrencher

I emailed ToeTag pictures regarding ordering this. Once I receive a response, I'll pass on the info.

Gut... I just ordered Mordum from xpoitedcinema. I hope to have it by this weekend. This is my first order with them and I'm very excited!
