Between The Cold War and the Third

I was born in 1974; as a result, I was one of the last generation to grow up under a very particular fear: the fear of World War Three. It was the Cold War. The US and the Soviet Union each wielded enough nuclear weapons to destroy all life on Earth many times over. In …

But then again, perhaps that’s why some Video Nasties are still so fascinating to this day” To celebrate the Blu-ray release of Joe D’Amato’s legendary 1980 Nasty-piece, Anthropophagus (also known in some circles as The Savage Island, Zombie 7, and the shockingly, offensively fellatial …
