NOT J-Horror. NOT cute animé. NOT Godzilla. NOT new Korean. NOT Pink movies ... BUT INSTEAD ... the weird, unknown, FORGOTTEN, never discovered, TRASHY, wild, gory, absurd, INSANE, dark, nasty WONDERS from the Asian backyard!!!
It's funny how most foreigners discovered Turkish films with this movie. It's like discovering Robot Monster first instead of Citizen Kane and not realising that there were better movies than the ones made by Ed Wood. I only found out about this movie in 2004. When i first got the vcd for it i thought it was a piece of crap and threw it away. Now I'm beginning to see it's bonehead appeal in a good way.
another reason i didn't like the movie was that the turkish vcd for it on the fanatik label was of shit quality and very dark. you had to put up the brightness control to its fullest to barely see it. i went back to the video store and told the guy that the film was unwatchable and he said that it wasn't his problem that's the way that it was manufactured. hahaha !!!
i had seen many turkish films before this one going back to the early 1970s but 2004 was the first time i found out about turkish star wars and most of the other fantastic films like the one's in mondo macabro although i had seen turist omer on star trek. lady hamlet and a lot of the cuneyt action films on hired videos in the 1980s.

Sometimes you gotta learn to *appreciate* trash. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which was my first Turkish film. It was long before the Mondo Macabro DVD anyway.
