The Vengeance of Kali

Hindi Flying Saucer movie

feeds@yuku.com (MBarnum) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:44:28 GMT

Picked up the VCD of WAHAN KE LOG (1967) and thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot would be a bit clearer if the film had had subtitles, but the basic story has aliens landing on earth with their reptilian spacemen creating havoc among some scientists.

The two lead aliens are suspiciously similar to Eros and Tanna from PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. Pradeep Kumar plays the hero (obviously slumming as he was a leading star during the previous decade), Tanuja is the mysterious and beautiful...

Return of Mr. Superman (1960)

feeds@yuku.com (MBarnum) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 17:12:30 GMT

RETURN OF MR. SUPERMAN is the one of two 1960 Indian movies based on the superhero, the other simply titled SUPERMAN. Despite the same actor playing Superman in each film, they were both completely separate tellings of the Superman saga put out by production companies (Mukul Pictures made SUPERMAN while Manmohan Films made RETURN OF MR SUPERMAN)

RETURN OF MR SUPERMAN begins with a farmer who witnesses the crash of a strange aircraft. Out crawls a little boy who the farmer and his...

GUMNAAM

So is GUMNAAM any good? Worth checking out? I first learned of the fantastic dance/musical scene, Jaan Pehechaan Ho, by being a huge fan of The Cramps�(who often cite it as being one of their fave tunes). Then, of course, it showed up in GHOST WORLD. I see it's pretty easy to come by and thought I'd ask about it here. And here's the video of it, in case any weren't sure what the heck I'm talkin'...

Initially talked up by Mondo Macabro (who might've produced it too), officially comes out June 24th on dvd in the US. Though, it seems Diabolik Dvd has it already in stock. Has anyone seen it yet? Anyone looking forward to it? I'm hoping it shows up at Netflix, as it's one I would indeed like to watch but am not...

Snake Woman movies: Nagin 1954 and 1976 versions

feeds@yuku.com (MBarnum) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:19:07 GMT

Watched two nagin (female snake) movies this weekend, both titled NAGIN...the classic 1954 version and the VERY 1970s version.

Both films are great fun, but for different reasons.

The 1954 version is actually more romance and drama then fantasy thriller. The female lead (played by the beautiful Vyjanthimala), a jungle lass, becomes strangely attracted to a snake charmer (Pradeep Kumar) whenever he plays his musical instrument (called a "bin"). The only fantastic...

some classic Bollywood "horror" that you can find

feeds@yuku.com (Brucifer) — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 11:13:12 GMT

None of these are true horror films - they're murder mystery/thriller films with "ghosts," but they are worth a shot. I stumbled across a web site wherein someone had compiled a list of Indian horror films (can't remember the site now, but there is another, more comprehensive list at: members.lycos.nl/doublefe...aphy.htm). Surprisingly, quite a...

Bollywood recommendations

feeds@yuku.com (Howling Beast) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 12:19:17 GMT

Okay, I've been turned onto a lot of great new (for me) genres due to the wonderful tastes of all of you on this board. I've really enjoyed the Mexican and Santo films, have had a lot of fun with peplums, and have even delved into some Franco films. Two genres that have really gotten me interested, due to this forum, are the German Krimi's and the Indian (Bollywood) films. Having little knowledge of either, I need some recommendations. What would be good films to get my feet wet with...

Bollywood Horror Collection Vol 1 on Netflix!

feeds@yuku.com (mrbutthole(d)) — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 19:29:48 GMT

Hey guys, Netflix has this Vol 1 of this set on in stock. So if you are wary about whether or not you will enjoy films enough to warrant a purchase of films from Bollywood's horror cosmology?, than rent it from Netflix. How can you lose?. The films are Bandh Darwaza, and Purana Mandhir. I am on fire in anticipation for the next Vol 2 supposedly including the interesting VEERANA. Cheers Randall

BOLLYWOOD HORROR COLLECTION VOL 2

feeds@yuku.com (mrbutthole(d)) — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 07:38:48 GMT

Hi, I spoke with Andrew Starke @ MONDO MACABRO last night, and He hinted around that VEERANA will be the next film in the series.Andrew said that they were having real problems finding adequate source material. I personally think that they are being modest as all of their films look great despite the part before the film begins where they say something about the poor condition of the source material etc etc. I also mentioned my beloved VAMPIRE PONTIANAK series, Which he said they have been...

BOLLYWOOD HORROR COLLECTION VOL 1

feeds@yuku.com (mrbutthole(d)) — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 12:37:29 GMT

Hey guys, I just finished watching BANDH DARWAZA, and PURANA MANDIR. The quality of BANDH is excellent despite the fact that MONDO MACABRO statement that the film source that they found was a bit dodgy. A classic vampire tale complete with the cheesy dance interludes. The vampire is way sinister looking, and gives one genuine thrills.
There are also indian fighting scenes which are hilarious. It is well worth the 26.95 that I paid for the experiance. Interesting are the use of Shiva's...

ZINDA (Indian Oldboy)

feeds@yuku.com (KathyBjelland) — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 10:11:01 GMT

Hi Guys!

Been a long time since I posted here (bugs here and there). Has anyone been able to see this bollywood version of Park Chan Wook's brilliant Oldboy? Well, the basics, it almost follows Oldboy's formula scene by scene. Except we have a different attack on how the movie was started. And the ending was severely watered down. Moreso, i think this one could have been "it" as far as remakes are concerned, it's just that they never credit Park for it! Furthermore, the...

BOLLYWOOD HORROR COLLECTION VOL 1

feeds@yuku.com (mrbutthole(d)) — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 15:57:42 GMT

Now I really am going to have a stroke! Mondo Macabro is going to release a couple of the Ramsay Bros films with more to follow. The release date is Sept 29th 2006. Only the redundancy of waiting for my Saga Of Dracula BCI release is to be out-weighed by this release. It's near impossible to find any cool 70's or 80's Indian horror with the cheesy dance numbers or without.I can't wait for this! best Randall

This is a bit off target so if anyone wants to get all jiggly, feel free but....

The Ramsay Family horror movies

feeds@yuku.com (todmichel) — Tue, 20 Sep 2005 05:24:23 GMT

During the 1970s and after, the various members of the Ramsay Family (among them Tulsi & Shyam Ramsay) produced the best Indian horror movies. Recently, Shyam Ramsay directed the excellent "Dhund" (The Fog), described as "a musical thriller" by the World Entertainment Group DVD (which includes optional English subtitles).
Unfortunately, I didn't find any of the former Ramsay titles on DVD. Most were available on VHS tapes years ago, but they are rather elusive...
