Dear friends!

We open a new heading – «TV-DVD serials»! We already see on your persons expression of full misunderstanding and even fastidiousness – you, probably, think, that we have absolutely fallen and have exhausted, have rolled down before reviewing of "soap operas», however business is at all so badly. There are serials qualitative which each episode is looked as a separate art minifilm, and there are the never-ending silly and "sugary" serials focused in basic on the housewives and a children's audience. A question, of course, taste, but to the first category we with pleasure carry «Confidential materials», «Байки from a crypt», «Behind a side possible», «Masters of horrors», «the Poltergeist: a heritage», "Psi-factor" and some other. To list serials of the second category it is not obviously possible, as a name it – a legion (I think, you and without us know, about what "TV-soap" there is a speech). At once we warn, that reviews will be written only on the serials which have left on DVD (we do not depart from the key rule). Considering, that in Russia serials interesting us did not leave in DVD a format (we speak exclusively about «лицензионке»), we will shine television films of the first zone. We think, that anything terrible in it is not present – the majority of you are familiar with the above-stated serials as almost all of them were shown on the Russian TV. Sincerely we hope, that you will like a new heading!

The Italian film of 1980 with rather unusual name «Erotic Nights of the Living Dead» («Erotic nights of live dead persons»), further for brevity «ЭНЖМ», has been let out in the first zone in нецензурированной versions by the American company «Shriek Show» (exists as well the theatrical version, however here we discuss only a director's variant of a picture). The film is removed excessively prolific (on its account of an order of 196 tapes) by the director-handicraftsman from Italy Joe д’Амато (in life Аристиде Массачези). Creativity of this cinematographer popular in the homeland (it still often acted as the operator and a script writer) covers a wide genre spectrum, including comedies, dramas, spaghettis-westerns, a fantasy, horrors (its "Anthropophage", «Red blood» and «Alive buried» are especially known), a sensuality (films about «black Эммануэль») and even «хардкорное» a porno (it «срежиссировал» more than 100 pornofilms for the Italian video market).

The old Italian film of horrors «Nuda per Satana» («Bared for the Satan») 1974, the status which has got presently cult, has been let out in нецензурированной versions on первозонном DVD by the American company «Image Entertainment».
The picture is removed by mediocre enough director Luigi Battselloj («the Pistol for Джанго»). The tape which is more likely not a pure film of horrors, and erotic psychodelic mystical imagination, with a crash has failed in the Italian hire – only 500 persons have looked it at cinemas. Really, in film Батцеллы a plot game of actors weak, special effects at level (even more low) amateur house cinema (the scene with the huge spider especially amazes, made of a papier-mache) does not take out any criticism. Nevertheless, completely worthless a film to name it is impossible. In it there is any highlight inherent in the European pictures of this genre of 70th years. Probably it is connected with rather quite good camera finds or with well transferred Gothic atmosphere of a film in style of products of classics of horrors. It is quite probable, what not last role for favorable perception of tape Батцеллы participation in her of interesting and sexually attractive Italian Rita Kalderoni («Делирий») which, besides, бóльшую the film part goes in seminude and simply bared has played, and also that has sex with the man, with the woman. By the way, the sensuality «Bared for the Satan» has purely aesthetic character, does not roll down to "software-porno", than the majority of films of similar type (the Flesh for the Animal »see the review on«) sins.
