videotapeswapshop. (aka VTSS.) is our pleasantly unhinged tribute to the peculiar world of genre film. We're equally interested in both the ridiculous and the sublime efforts that have emerged from the depths of the genre pool, and in particular, those between the late 1950's and early 90s...

Cannibal Apocalypse – 1980 / Director: Antonio Margheriti
The odds were heavily stacked against Antonio Margheriti’s grossly misrepresented Cannibal Apocalypse right from the outset. The film’s anglicized and unimaginative title is criminally misleading and deceptively exploitative. It hints…

Eaten Alive (Mangiati vivi!) – 1980/ Director: Umberto Lenzi
Football was invented in 1876 in England, and we still haven’t got over the fact that other countries are better at it than us. Every time a tournament comes along,…

The Man From Deep River – 1972 / Director: Umberto Lenzi
Lenzi’s goat-killing, widow-fucking epic has the dubious honour of kick-starting the whole disreputable but irresistible Italian cannibal film cycle. Already a capable peplum and giallo director, he was influenced by…

Cannibal Terror – 1981 / Director: Alain Deruelle
The unmistakable stench of Jess Franco hovers over Cannibal Terror like a blocked drain. Unbelievably, however, the producers found a director just as inept in Alain Deruelle. The man responsible…

Jungle Holocaust (Ultimo mondo cannibale) -1977 / Director: Ruggero Deodato
See! A man used as a human yo-yo. See! Said man having his penis fondled by cannibals. See! A hostess from Sale of the Century being raped and eaten. See!…

Zombie Holocaust – 1980 / Director: Marino Girolami
With it’s oh so lurid title and generic, high concept promise of the best of both worlds, Marino Giromlami’s Zombie Holocaust should, by rights, really be a bit of a…

Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals – 1977 / Director: Joe D’Amato
Everyone knows that I hated Emmanuelle (1974, dir. Just Jaeckin). Instead of falling for the French eroticism, I found the film to be one long, overblown account of a young…
