Montreal
Film Studio returns with another installment of trashy trailers of grungy
grindhouse favorites (not to mention a few intermission ads thrown in there for
good measure). They loaded this thing
from top to bottom with a bevy of different genres. From slasher to Blaxploitation. From Kung Fu to biker movie. Any exploitation fan worth their salt should
get a kick out of this collection.
Among
the trailers featured are Curtains, Honky, Deranged, The Lawyer, Kenner, The Raiders
of Atlantis, The Tongfather, The Deadly Spawn, Savage!, The Grim Reaper, Eunuch
of the Western Palace, Dixie Dynamite, Lola’s Mistake, Doctor Butcher M.D., The
Electric Chair, The Last of the Secret Agents?, Eye of the Cat, The Minx, Flesh
Gordon, The 44 Specialist, Penitentiary, The Evil, The Pom Pom Girls, The Man
from Hong Kong, Who Saw Her Die?, Boss, The Northville Cemetery Massacre, Supermanchu
(“Rated R for ‘Righteous!’”), Amazing Grace, The Green Slime, Act of Vengeance,
Dead End Drive-In, Mark of the Witch, and Maid in Sweden.
There’s
a nice balance of obscure-o titles sprinkled in with the time-tested perennial classics. As much as I enjoyed seeing some of my favorite
trailers again (particularly Deranged, The Deadly Spawn, and Doctor Butcher
M.D.), it was the oddball movies that really got my blood pumping. I had never seen many of the trailers featured
in this compilation. Heck, there were a
lot of movies here I never even heard of. Because of that, Fantastic Trailers HD 3: The Domination has a real sense of discovery
about it that its predecessors just don’t have.
I’ve added many of the films here to my “Must Watch” list because of
this compilation, which is about the highest praise you can bestow on something
like this. I mean how can you not want
to see a flick with a title like Eunuch of the Western Palace?
