Suspiria and Inferno were good, I love Inferno's theme, you don't hear too much late '70's early '80's electronic operatic rock, I must say. But Mother of Tears... I actually liked it, probably about on par with Inferno.
I feel like it gets a kinda bad rap, because having watched all three in a pretty close period of time, I have to say that Mother of Tears feels weird at first, but that's mostly because it plays like the classic movies but looks modern. I feel like it'd be held on the same level as Inferno if it'd been released back in like, '84 or whatever instead of 2007. Really my only big issue with it was that some of the CG was kinda dodgy, but other than that I feel like I'd recommend it.
Anyway, other than that my cult film stuff is pretty slow. I should be getting my copy of the Critters collection today. I've never seen them, I look forward to it. Also got the original Django in my backlog, as well as the Subspecies series.
Which is getting a re-release via Synapse films along with a few other Argento films which is good since those that weren't owned by Blue Underground like Susperia, Phenomena and so on were only available through long out of print Anchor Bay releases which were starting to fetch a sizable price.
As for my personal cult film collection I recently added a few doozies myself including the Andy Sardaris Girls, Guns and G-strings 12 film set, Cannibal Ferox, The Roger Corman Women in Prision three film blu ray set which has The Big Doll House, The Big Bird Cage and Women in Cages which are waiting pick up at the post office(Ferox and The Roger Corman set), Jack Hill's Switchblade Sisters on Blu Ray from Subkultur, a limited edition(3,000 copies) of The Sinful Dwarf on Blu ray, Russ Myer's Faster Pussycat Kill Kill on Blu ray, Jess Franco's Women behind Bars, Frauleins in Uniform, Lady Snowblood w/ Lady Snowblood Love song of Vengance, Stagefright, Paul Nastchy's Human Beasts and Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll, Invasion of the B-girls, Unholy Rollers, The Devil's 8, Vicious Lips, Mountain of the Cannibal God(aka Slave of the Cannibal God), Man from Deep River, Savage Water, Death bu Invitation, The Suckers(a Sexploitation version of The most dangerous game), Love Garden, Teenage Zombies, Revenge of the Virgins, Headless Eyes, Zambo King of the Jungle and Cannibal Holocaust.
Just lots of no. There are some things that can't be unseen.
