Run Like Hell (1995)
Robert Z'Dar is the warden of a post-apocalyptic women's prison. The the new government "has declared single women a threat to society - a bounty is placed on all unattached women." So, a group of inmates escape and journey to "Paradise City" where the grass is green and the girls.... well, you know the rest.
Guns of El Chupacabra (1997)
Oh, hell yeah. I am so ready for another Donald G. Jackson flick. Starting with Roller Blade (1986) and then on to a ton of flicks like Big Sister 2000 (1995) (and the Frogtown series) which all have a very unique and - perhaps the word "eccentric" is the right word - vibe to them. This one is Jackson required viewing - not only does it feature both Robert Z'Dar and Julie Strain - but it's his take on the Chupacabra cryptid. Both Jackson and Shaw (Jackson's frequent collaborator- and Hawk from the Roller Blade films) not only believe in the mythical creature -they claim to have seen it. Even better- they claim to have helped victims of a car accident in Mexico which they believe was caused by a Chupacabra!
Return of the Roller Blade Seven (1993)
So, evidently there were a number of films which followed Roller Blade (1986). I've enjoyed Donald G. Jackson self-styled "Zen filmmaking" approach and the fact that this guy has a vision he sticks to. They all have the same look and you can tell it's his film by a single frame. Big Sister 2000 (1995) was a sleaze classic; so I think his filmography warrants another look.
Queen of Lost Island (1994)

Cards of Death (1986)
The sole feature-length directorial effort Will MacMillan, who starred in George Romero’s The Crazies and appeared opposite Clint Eastwood in The Enforcer before embarking on a long, fruitful career in studio films and TV. The film was basically lost, with only a handful of copies out there. Finally in 2015, a good citizen uploaded a rip of the film. The plot is a pretty cool idea: A cult-like group in LA, led by a mysterious man known as Hog, that holds gatherings to gamble with their lives. The group meet up and are handed a random card from a Tarot deck, and a poker-like game would begin. The one holding the Death card at the end would be killed, with victims dying in a variety of graphic and sadistic ways. The person with the winning hand would win money, but would also have to kill the loser within 24 hours, or else both of them would be killed.
Vicious and Nude (1980)
(Original title: Viciosas al desnudo) Jack Taylor lets two sexy hippies, Adriana Vega and Eva Lyberten, into his home. Big mistake.
Shoot the Girls (2000)
Tina Krause and Misty Mundae star in a film which is equal parts erotic thriller and fetish film... well, maybe not equal parts. Pretty much just a misogynistic fetish film with a thin Mundae/Krause wraparound "story".

Night Ripper! (1986)
A low budget SOV flick where I can't identify a single actress or actor; no idea who's playing any of the roles in this film.... that is except Larry Thomas - the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. This freaked me out more than a little bit when I saw him in this.

Emmanuelle in Rio (2003)
Emmanuelle's Forbidden Pleasures (2011)
The last of the Emmanuelle Through Time series. (There were so many Emmanuelle movies over the last few decades; see the VZ1 list to get them straight.)
Emmanuelle Private Collection: Sex Talk (2003)

Emanuelle and Lolita (1978)
Emmanuelle: Concealed Fantasy (1994)
Emmanuelle: A World of Desire (1994)
Second in the Emmanuelle in Space series; this one's a little less coherent and not as well-written as before. But, it has Krista Allen and an untold number of other naked ladies - so why dwell on the negative?

Emmanuelle's Sensual Pleasures (2000)
Well, this is the last of the Holly Sampson Emmanuelle 2000 series; we've covered them all at this point. [See the full list of all Emmanuelle films to help make sense of the confusing multitude of Emmanuelle movies] This one is special as it's directed by Fred Olen Ray. I've actually enjoyed this series and a bit sad to see it end. They weren't amazing, but a lot of fun, and it would've been interesting to see where it would go.
Emmanuelle and the Art of Love (2000)
Emmanuelle 6 (1988)
Emmanuelle 5 (1987) was quite possibly the worst Emmanuelle movie ever released. So it is with trepidation that I click "play" on part six. Thankfully, Borowczyk had nothing to do with this one. Instead, we have none other than Jean Rollin penning the screenplay - so perhaps there's hope for this series yet and it hasn't jumped the shark. [To get oriented with all these Emmanuelle movies, I recommend checking out the VZ1 list]

The Erotic Rites of Countess Dracula (2001)
I kept thinking through this whole movie that I'd already seen it, already reviewed it on VZ1. Then realized that I kinda had. Countess Dracula's Orgy of Blood (2004) and Blood Scarab (2008) use the same sets, share some of the same cast (namely Del Howison as Renfield), and feel very much like the same film. Not sure how it came to be that Don Glut made these similar films spaced years apart, but there it is.
Kinky Pleasures (2006)
Beverly Lynne plays two roles- of the naughty and nice twins who swap lives. What will happen when the nice twin takes on the stripper lifestyle, and the naughty twin when she takes on the life of a school teacher? If this sounds cliche, it's because it absolutely is. But it's also jam packed with gobs of sex and nudity.
She-Demons of the Black Sun (2006)
Al Pereira vs. the Alligator Ladies (2012)
Losing Control (1998)
Your standard undemanding erotic thriller. This one features Kira Reed as a writer who takes a trip on the wild side for inspiration - which ends up being a costly mistake.

Boardinghouse (1982)
