Now I love film with a passion and live for film, and have great enjoyment in making them and especially watching them. I want to write in excitement all about my inspirations and movies that have got me very excited and resulting in me going on about them days on end. I hate reviews and reviewers that always look for the worst in films and are out there to attack and critic everything they can without looking further. I would like to see those people make a film that they certainly give the impression they can do. Filmmaking is hard and I have certainly had my fair share of tough times, and have had to deal with extremely bad people that have driven me to the edge of why do I bother! But common sense shines through and I find that flame in me that makes me tick and drives my passion for grindhouse cinema, and for me to be a part of that is a dream come true.My favourite genre is obviously horror, and my true inspiration and all time favourite films are the video nasties, especially the late 70’s and early 80’s Italian cannibal & zombie films. I am also a huge fan of the underground horror and adore the works of Andreas Schnaas and Jörg Buttgereit.It took me a long time to seriously think about it and compile it, but I managed to create a top 20 list of my greatest top 20 films of all time which is as follows:
1 Cannibal Holocaust
2 Nekromantik
3 Irreversible
4 The Fly (remake)
5 Legend
6 The Evil Dead
7 I Spit On Your Grave
8 Hellraiser
9 The Exorcist
10 Taxi Driver
11 Bram Stoker’s Dracula
12 Island Of Death
13 Gestapo’s Last Orgy
14 House On The Edge Of The Park
15 Zombie Flesh Eaters
16 Big Trouble In Little China
17 Wicked City
18 Guts Of A Virgin
19 Violent Shit
20 The Idiots
I will later on this blog write and go into detail what I personally think is so great about each of these titles and just why I have found them so inspirational as a director.
Please check back regularly for my reviews and discussions on the crazy world of Grindhouse Cinema.
