[Get Some]

i thought u were referring about the movie "mark of the devil"

[woodenheart]

They were called Inquisition.There are five parts to these movies.I will get more info Thursday when I go into work.

Just looking at the front and back cover of the DVD was enough for all of us at work.Women were naked,covered in blood and being tortured in ways I could never imagine.They were in with our porn movies but DAMN this was just going a step too far I think.

OoOOoOOoO New Canadian person.....me like...taking notes...looking up this Inquisition. Do post any more gems you find. Always looking for new UG. :hey:

Well I found what you were talking about and these are not movies, they are nothing more than adult fetish films.

All they really seemed to be were bondage-S/M porno's, very much doubt the blood you were seeing on the covers was real. Nothing really more than getting people to stop and look at the movies, which it seems they did. Even if the blood was real, which it very well could have been since bondage films can go pretty far, it's still just porno-fetish movie.

So it was created by people who are into rather harsh BDSM acts, made by people who enjoy it as well, made for people who are into that. No one else really.

Sorry if I sound like an asshole but this section is about movies, not really about fetish porno's. Unless you're talking about the roughies from the 70's and 80's.

If you want to find more info on these movies just do a search for "Inquisition Underground Video DVD", that's what I looked for and the first several hits are for these movies that you're talking about.

:mhehe: That's pretty bad.

[Cataclysm]

What are you going to do with videos, just send them back to whatever distributor you got them from?

[Cataclysm]

Oi. Damn dirty movies. Always causing trouble.

From a filmmakers point of view... It basically comes down to not having enough $$$ and trying to be as creative with what you have. So, I try my best to develop stories that are entertaining from the time it comes on until its over because I know that the viewer is most likely sitting there with their finger just above the fast foward button. So, as an underground filmmaker we have to bring it and bring it hard.

Underground films can push the limits more and don't have to be bound by anything... Just the $$$ flow to make the film.

So, to anyone that has viewed my films - THANK YOU... I hope I did my job.

my opinion of "underground horror" is strictly limited to 80's films and earlier (with a handful of 90's horror films like the wonderful "Jack-O"). I just cannot get into the newer stuff or newer horror movies in general.

By nature, I love the cheap and wretchedly horrible old school horror flicks. This includes SOV (shot on video) trash like Boarding House, Sledgehammer, Death Row Diner, Video Violence, Splatter:Architects Of Fear, etc.

I'm what you'd call a dumpster diver I suppose. Headless Eyes, Long Island Cannibal Massacre, Robot Holocaust, The Abomination, Attack Of The Beast Creatures, Body Shop, etc. are some others that come to mind. Basically, a shitload of old movies that most "horror fans" never heard of.

A lot of the newer "shocking" stuff like Murder Set Pieces, August Underground, etc. is just boring and retarded to me. Especially all that junk by Brain Damage films.

Its not some over-produced piece of crap being shoved down your throat by the media. Most good Underground horror you have to really dig to find it.

[zombhorror]

i like underground horror for a good bit of reasons , one to push the buttons far from what the theatres would allow cause editing and taking away stuff gets annoying at a time , 2 i find underground much more original and creative , and i like sick twisted shit and underground shows more of that , i even like the cheesy ones hell if there horrible least i got a laugh out of it and thats all i can think of at the moment

[rphorror]

You don't feel like the director/producer was pressured to make a horror film with added crap form advertisers or anything else for that matter. That's the best reason for it.

I enjoy watching UG because of how far the creators can push the limits on a low budget. It's more for study, rather than enjoyment (although some are pretty cool.) I wanted to basically see how the viewer can be manipulated to squirm by the use of simple gore effects amped by the sound effects. In the end, the killings in these movies top any kill scenes that have made the market, and I applaud them for doing it independently.

[highlight87]

Yes it may be bad quality, yes it may lack decent action or even a decent script for that matter. But the fact is i love these kinds of movies cause its people coming up with new ideas. something others have not thought about and probably never will think about it unless they see these movies. And the sad thing about it is they will never see these movies. They don't care enough to look for something of interest in our genre. All they are interested in is doing the remakes for movies that were original 20.. 30.. even 40 + years ago. I am not saying that it's a complete and horribly bad idea cause Rob Zombie did come out with a good movie when he "re-imagined" Halloween. But all the best and brightest ideas on the scene for the genre.. for any genre for that matter are from underground movies!

Underground isn't always bad quality, and I'd say both acting and script can be way better than mainstream.

Agreed. I think underground/independent films become stereotyped that because they don't have the money or the resources they are of a lesser quality. Granted some truly are, but that isn't always the case.

[fightclub]

I personally like the gore, doesnt really have to be toned down for the masses.
some, unfortunately, just try to shock you with gore and have nothing to go with it

[BigFatOgre]

Underground vs Mainstream. It's all horror and you gotta love it. They both have crap and they both have wonders. If you're a true horror fan you gotta watch them both. Underground quality can be just as good as big budget, it's just a little wetter when the gore isn't CGI.

[ReptilianPig]

Seconded. I'm, for the most part('lest it is old school horror) outside of US boundaries(cinematically-speaking, not physically) and have been for some time. Am I not a true horror fan because I have a certain preference?

Why do I enjoy underground? It usually includes depth, innovation, and DIY approach, even if it is straight-up shite. In the underground world, many times nothing is held sacred. Hollywood promotes safe and secure feelings / conclusions these days and without original vision. The Mist is a kind of pioneer in that realm, as daring to take on a dismal ending. Directors don't take note of this. Why? It didn't please a lot of movie-goers.Anyways, even as a pioneer, I feel it was a mediocre and had King's name all over it.

...jumping around there, but you get the point.

[BigFatOgre]

So you guys saying you don't like any mainstream flicks? Honestly I love boith underground and mainstream. People talk about pushing enevelopes. The Hills Have Eyes remake, Devil's Rejects - 2 beautifully f'ed up mainstream films.
I'm talking to the Underground haters - if they can't open their eyes and minds to give these films a shot and potentially find really awesome horror outside the mainstream then their love for the genre is too boxed in and they're missing out on some great viewing.
