The Ladies of the House, Cannibal Strippers!

Prurient! Gory! Seductive!  This one stars four lovely actresses who play strippers...er, I mean, exotic dancers!  Guess what else they are...yep...cannibals.  A metaphor for sultry dames in general?  You answer that one.  The victims?  Wait, victims?  Three hunks, well, two hunks and a...well, you'll see.  Don't cry for anyone, no one in this film gets anything they do not deserve.  Our feature today is 2014's "The Ladies of the House," directed by John Stuart Wildman.

Getty (Melodie Sisk), Lin (Farah White), Crystal (Brina Palencia), and Ginger (Belladonna) are four hot strippers who are also roomies in a house. Getty and Lin are lovers, and Ginger and Crystal are lovers. Yes, there will be passion, even in the shower, among these two couples. Kai (RJ Hanson) is a mentally challenged giant and it is his b-day. His brother Jacob (Gabriel Horn) and friend Derek (Samrat Chakrabarti) bring Kai to a strip club to get him de-virginized.  This doesn't work as he goes spastic with even a hint of feminine contact. The gals perform there and are done for the night. Before three of the girls head home, Ginger heads back to the house. Unbeknownst to her, the three guys follow hoping for a party with the girls. Besides, Jacob still wants to get Kai laid.  The men show up, and Ginger lets them in hesitantly, and then all goes to pot.  Drugs, alcohol, and dares end up in Ginger being murdered by the men. 

The murder was accidental, but incredibly careless.  When the other three babes return, they will find Ginger's corpse...and hints that the trio of men are hiding in the house. The babes have secrets.  No spoiler here, they usually lure men home to have play-time with, then murder them, and butcher them, and cook them, and eat them.  Now the three men are being hunted in close quarters.  The exotic dancers will have passion, hunt, have some more passion, have a shower, and hunt some more.  What happens next will be incredibly gory, heartbreaking, and full of torture.  Not for the squeamish, but think of what goes on in a butcher shop.

Will the three exotic dancers survive the homicidal intruders?  Will the three homicidal intruders survive the cannibalistic strippers...er, exotic dancers, I mean?  Are all gorgeous babes lunatic nut-cases?  The cheese in this one is tremendous, and so is the gore.  For some very prurient horror that will cause you to hide your eyes in several scenes, see "The Ladies of the House."

Drawn Into the Night, Cheerleaders Humiliated in Cages

Wow! Misogyny!  Sexploitation! Think Giallo or Euro-Trash times 10! How does anyone get away making movies like this?  Officially, I am appalled. Pretty cheerleaders and other high school skanks humiliated, violated, and exploited by the most vilest of human beings.  I am so offended. Now, if your curious as to what I'm talking about, let us look at 2022's "Drawn Into the Night," directed by Bill McAdams, Jr. If you are still curious, find it on Tubi, you will love it! 

Three sultry cheerleaders (Chelsea Brummet, Adriana DeMeo, and Sharon McNerney) from Belmont High, in full costume, frolic in the moonlight. They'll be captured in a net and put in cages. This makes six cheerleaders total who have been taken. The cops assign sultry detective Kate ( Jessica Sonneborn) undercover into the high school to find out what is going on. She'll get into catfights with skanks, and prance around locker rooms in satin undies with those same skanks. She befriends the sultry and semi-clean cut Lauren (Paulie Rojas) and earn the scorn of the sultry b#$%h Brittany (Augie Duke), Tina (Sita Young), and Brooke (Casey Reinhardt) . They all get lured to a phony rave party.  The gals get all dolled up and drive to the middle of nowhere.

As soon as they get there, the gals are hunted with stun guns, captured, and caged. Kate, the empowered female detective is a lousy cop. Fortunately the men will show up later to undo her incompetence, but that's another story. The caged girls meet the captured cheerleaders, in other cages, and are zapped more with stun guns and hauled away for some deadly humiliation.  The beautiful will die horribly, but can Kate save at least some of them...or can some man detective save them. Exploited, humiliated, and electrocuted, the gals will be forced into humiliating deviance and violence.

The actresses in this film are all sultry.  Their deaths are so heartbreaking. The brutes in this film are so evil. Why are these sultry cheerleaders and skanks being taken, and by who?  Will Kate be able to beat the rich-b#$%h Brittany in a vicious cat fight?  Will any of the sultry cheerleaders survive this film?  Prurient, exploitive, misogynistic, and so good.  For some great sexploitation, fit for a 1970s drive-in experience, see "Drawn Into the Night." 

Strip Club Slasher, Bloody Prurience

Filmed like an early 1970s drive-in movie, this nostalgic piece will leave you needing a shower.  Dirty, grimy, gory, and without any morally redeeming qualities, this stripper heavy drama will probably leave you gasping at the uber-prurient and twisted ending. Here's the best part!  This film stars one of this blog's favorite actresses...Sarah French! Our feature today is 2010's "Strip Club Slasher," directed by Jason Stephenson.

After a bad night stripping at a dive strip club, Kitty (Elske McCain) is murdered by a weird guy who intercepts her in the parking lot. So distraught...okay, not very distraught...the other strippers at the club will convene at Desiree's (Rachel Grubb) house for remembrance.  In reality, only the sultry Sarah (French) has mourning type feelings for Kitty. The other strippers are indifferent to the poor babe's fate. Desiree actually invited all the strippers over so she could get into Sarah's pants. This is a shock to Desiree's stripper GF Jezzy (Saint Deville). Jezzy's twin sister, Heidi (also Deville), is Sarah's good friend and gets stoned immediately. Now distraught as Desiree chases Sarah into the bathroom, Jezzy storms out only to meet a tortuous fate at the hands of the killer.

Now the killer has descended on the house and he is a hulking being. He'll also follow all the strippers back to the club when they return there to talk to the investigating detective (Joel D. Wynkoop). The killer has a big machete and he'll use it to decapitate and slice throats.  The gals fall faster than a prom dress at an after party, but Sarah has what it takes to be the final girl...or does she?  Desiree is excited when Sarah recounts to her a memory of her first lesbian encounter with Mindy Muffin (Leah Avery). Sadly for Desiree, Sarah is not interested in her.  What happened to Mindy Muffin?  Unknown. Now the masked behemoth enters the club and begins swinging away with his machete.

Will Sarah be the final girl or is there something twisted planned for her by these warped movie makers?  Will Desiree get to bring Sarah to ecstasy, or will Sarah maintain high standards?  Just who is this masked killer, and could it be Mindy Muffin returning to share some glory with Sarah? The ending will be as twisted, or more, than the first 70 minutes of this film.  For an epic performance by Sarah French, in a bloody and prurient slasher film, see "Strip Club Slasher."  

Blood Mountain Massacre, Homage to Drive-In Splatter Fests

There's a lot here, and none of it is good.  I mean, so bad its good.  If you like those Satan exploitation films that showed up on drive-in screens in the late 60s and early 70s, then this is the film for you.  Though this is a 2024 film, it is filmed like an old drive-in offering.  The plot is right out of so many films you saw in the 70s and 80s, but that is a lot better than out of a Stanley Kubrick or Francois Truffaut film...or better than that "Star Wars" Mandalorian nonsense.  Babes in peril!  Machetes!  Escapee from an insane asylum!  Gratuitous shower scenes! No, not the remake for "To Kill a Mockingbird," but "Blood Mountain Massacre," directed by Bob Place.

There is a plot, but be wise and don't pay too much attention to it lest you miss gratuitous shower scenes or splattering blood. A total lunatic escapes from a prison van bound for an asylum for the criminally insane. Edward (Jody Black) kills a babe juggler by shoving a curling iron through her eyeball. Dr. Loomis (Greg Behrens) arrives and tells the cops his patient is a true murder machine ...think Jason. Okay, now we meet the stars of this epic, an all-girl punk rock band called The Abortions. A rough crew of babes featuring Laurie (K.D. O'Hair) a heroin addict, Nancy (Katherine Blackford) a blonde Tarot card reader, Alice (Liz Derr) a nymphomaniac who likes it rough, Pam (Vandala Morton) a Pam Greer wannabe. Also along is the clean cut sister of Laurie, Sally (Jenna Aungst) who sells the merch at concerts and drives the van.

As Edward murders his way on his trek to Blood Mountain, The Abortions join the lead band Dick Hammer for an after-party at their lead singer, Freddie's (Matt Maher) blood mountain cabin. A veritable drug filled orgy develops with shower scenes and hot tub deviance. Then Edward arrives...and you can guess where the plot goes...or can you?  Director Bob Place has a surprise or three for us and what follows is one of the most ambitious plots you will ever see.  Worry not, the plot won't become clean cut but this film becomes much more than a slasher horror film.

Yes, I have left out a lot, you'll see.  Will the all-girl punk rock band make it to the end of the film intact?  Will Sally maintain her virginity as the end credits roll?  With bands called Dick Hammer and The Abortions, can you figure out where a lot of this plot will go?  This is a prurient and decadent traipse through a slasher/satanist film that would have played well in the drive-ins over 50 years ago.  Today we look upon it with nostalgia and guilty pleasure.  See "Blood Mountain Massacre" and then take a good long hot shower afterwards to clean off all the dirt you will feel.

Death Streamer, Vampire Eats His Subscribers

Yes!  We have a Charles Band film today. The genius produced and directed this Full Moon Features effort. So given this is a Full Moon film, are we likely to see female nudity in the gratuitous sense? Yep!  Add spurting blood to that topless motif and we have something that we may be able to classify as prurient.  Oh, and how the blood does spurt!  Our feature today is 2024's "Death Streamer."

Arturo (Sean Ohlman) is a handsome vampire that invites big breasted babes to his mansion.  With the help of his topless bartender (Chili Jean) and thug servant (Travis Stoner), he drugs babes in sexy party gowns, lays them on a bed, and eats their necks. Oh, even better!  He livestreams all this for his million subscribers. Discretion is not one of his strong points. On the other side of town, Alex (Aaron Michael McDavid), Edwina (Emma Massalone), and Juniper (Kaitlin Moore) have their own livestream, a YouTube show called Church of Chills that explores occult phenomena and ghosts. The trio are struggling to gain enough subscribers to make their show profitable, but appear to be fighting a losing battle.  Then by accident, Juniper comes across Arturo's bloody livestream and the trio figure out his murders are real.  Now Alex has an idea.

Arturo is smart and figures out that Juniper has hacked into his stream.  Now Arturo comes through the livestream and threatens Alex, Edwina, and Juniper...they should have heeded the warnings. Alex, smelling subscribers, decides to play one of Arturo's murders on Church of Chills. Not a good idea as Arturo decides the intrusive trio is going to be a problem and he comes after them.  Trying to defend themselves, Edwina does research and realizes Arturo's real age and what his ultimate plan is, and it is terrifying.  Now the two babes are in mortal danger of being the next sacrifice as Alex constructs wooden crosses to defend themselves.

Do Alex, Edwina, and Juniper have a prayer at defending themselves from a toothy and aroused vampire who likes dames with great big...smiles?  Will Juniper or Edwina capture Arturo's eye and be his next sacrifice?  Will Alex' wooden crosses and his knowledge of the occult be enough to mount a defense against Arturo and his minions?  This is a bloody, prurient, and graphic film from our buddies at Full Moon.  Kids, if your mom says 'no way are you watching a Full Moon Features movie,' obey them.  For a bloody good time, and especially for fans of Charles Band, see "Death Streamer."

Hunting Emma, A Pacifist Goes Nuclear

In 1897, Sigmund Freud was quoted as saying, "Inside every pacifist is a raging nymphomaniac psychopath thirsting to gut any brute that comes her way." Okay, I admit this is a paraphrase. Still, you've seen this trope...and anti-violence, anti-gun, anti-war puke is pushed to the limit and he or she becomes Predator! Today we have one from South Africa, 2017's "Hunting Emma," directed by Byron Davis.

Emma (Leandie du Randt) is a sultry blonde schoolteacher who is a pacifist, supposedly. On her holiday, she drives to visit her dad (Tertius Meintjes) and breaks down on a deserted highway.  Unlucky for her she spots six men who might be able to help.  Too late, as she nears them, the gang of six criminals executes a police officer.  Emma, horrified, runs.  The gang leader, Bosman (Neels van Jaarsveld) orders his men to capture her...they do.  Bosman then orders Boela (Edwin van der Walt) to rape her...he tries.  Dad finds out Emma is stranded and in the wilderness.  He puts two and two together and sees that a gang of six is hunting her...and he is scared...for the six men.  See, dad was a special forces monster who taught Emma all he knew...especially how to murder. In handcuffs, Emma escapes as Boela is distracted...the chase is on again.  Emma is smart and triples back on her tracks causing the men to separate.

Boella and AJ (Danie Putter) find her first...to their detriment. Boella ends up gutted and AJ ends up... educated.  Now Bosman is ticked!  The men keep pursuing, Emma keeps slaughtering.  Now Emma has one of their radios and calls Bosman a "b@#$h."  Bosman has an ego and three men left.  Well, you can guess how the rest of the plot goes.  Oh, I should say Emma just broke up with her BF because he slugged a guy in a bar.  This fact will make the ending of this film priceless...you'll see.

Will Emma murder her way all the way to Bosman and then skewer him?  Will Emma's dad camp out in the wilderness with popcorn, marshmallows, and beer and just wait for his bloodstained daughter to arrive?  Will Emma see the error of her ways and take her BF back?  The goons in this film are evil, and Emma is quite the babe as she sweats nicely in the South African desert.  For a vicious babe versus brutes film, see "Hunting Emma." 

The Arkansas Pigman Massacre, Little Girls and a Hatchet Wielding Pig

A coming of age film!  yep, if the homicidal half man-half pig were a cello instead and this film was called "Two Girls and a Cello," the critics would all love it. Yep, it would get an 8.8/10 rating on IMDB instead of the 2.9 it does get. Something about a behemoth of a man with a pig's head scares the critics...wusses! Hey, Eric Roberts is in this...we like Eric Roberts, and even though his 90 second scene has no bearing on the plot, we do admire his...hair. But wait!  You'll never guess!  This is actually a pretty good film. Our feature today is 2025's "The Arkansas Pigman Massacre," directed by JT Kris.

Pig Man is the behemoth hunk who has a pig head, wears a bloody apron, and wields a hatchet and carving knife. He chases down hikers and campers, cuts them open, and feasts on their internal organs.  The monster man oinks a lot and is relentless.  As the film opens, we see him hunt a few down. So here are our two stars, a couple of 12-year-old girls who are into their phones, music, and boys. Tracey (Junie Liv Thomasson) is from a broken family and would rather live with her dad (Roberts) than her mom. Chelsea (Saga Pernille Johnson Muro) is her buddy. Tracey has a crush on Chelsea's rock-star brother, Dylan (Dante B. Salazar). Dylan is driving the two pre-teens to summer camp when the car stalls on a back dirt road...and along comes Pig Man. Pig Man takes Dylan away and Tracey and Chelsea flee into the woods.

Now our two slightly annoying, but kind of likable pre-dames are on the run.  Pig Man wants them to eat for dinner.  The girls are horrified, exhausted, and helpless to defend themselves against the raging monster with the hatchet.  Pig Man eats Dylan and now the gals have no hope for rescue.  Several close calls occur, but the screeching duo always just get away.  Along the way, Pig Man sometimes veers off and murders and eats more campers.  No problem here, the monster always gets right back on the trail.  Now the gals are desperate and their bond of friendship may be their biggest weapon against Pig Man, an obvious metaphor for modern American media and culture and their effort to destroy femininity in our young girls.

Will Tracey and Chelsea defeat the ruination that awaits them and turn the tables on Pig Man?  Will Eric Roberts do anything of note in this 90-minute epic?  Is the fact that this film took place in Arkansas an obvious message of and metaphor for the perversion and ruination that Bill and Hillary Clinton caused a nation?  Better than any "Mandalorian" garbage, and infinitely more valuable to our social conscience than the over-rated "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Arkansas Pigman Massacre" is a film you must put on your watch-list.
