Exterminators of the Year 3000 (1983)
Tumblr media
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
There are many Mad Max ripoffs and the most ripoff-iest of them all must be Exterminators of the Year 3000. The few original ideas contained within feel like asterisks, tiny details thrown in to “prove” this cheapo action adventure isn’t simply The Road Warrior on shuffle mode.
It's the year 3000. Nuclear war has destroyed the ozone belt. It hasn’t rained for years and the remnants of humanity battle on the roads for every remaining drop of water. When lone marauder Alien (Robert Iannucci) stumbles upon young Tommy (Luca Vennantini), he agrees to bring the boy to the source of water his tribe was desperately trying to reach. But even with the demented Crazy Bull (Fernando Bilbao) and his raving gang of lunatics forcing them to work in unison, Tommy can't trust his new partner.
You’ll immediately notice the Italian cast and the dubbed dialogue; dialogue so poorly written it confirms director Giuliano Carnimeo (as Jules Harrison) only had a tenuous understanding of the English language. It’s hard to determine if the villains’ constant references to “mother-grabbers” or “lousy splots of aberration” are attempts to self-censor and make the film available to those under 18 (they failed, it’s still rated R) or some of the weakest bits of world-building you’ve ever seen. Generally, I’d call the film tedious, but the dialogue is full of gems: bits of random words strung together that’ll make you laugh out loud. “Nothing is impossible with faith and prayer; even miracles!” indeed. Characters frequently tell you how they feel instead of letting their words, inflections or actions do so. Even if they were given brilliant lines to barf out, it wouldn't have matted. The people chosen to read the script are dreadful.
Giuliano Carnimeo makes you appreciate the skill and artistry of George miller. In this picture, there’s no escalation in the action, whatsoever. The climax has a big body count, but it’s nothing compared to a big sequence about 20-minutes in - a scene shamelessly lifted from the climax of The Road Warrior. It’s a pool of quicksand you’re only barely making your way through when finally, we’re properly introduced to this film’s Max Rockatansky: Alien. While Mel Gibson's character has charm and you can sense a heart beating beneath his bitter exterior, Robert Iannucci is like an unwrapped chocolate bar that’s been sitting on the pavement on a hot summer day. Even if you wanted to dig in, he wouldn’t be worth the effort. The guy’s just a jerk with no bargaining skills, and he’s not even good at what he does! Sculpting an anti-hero is delicate work and Exterminators of the Year 3000 is not up to the task at all.
Plot points frequently come out of nowhere, characters act illogically, their dialogue feels like a crossbow bolt through the palm and their performances are worse. Don’t even get me started on the scenes that demand they shed tears. You’d think the Italian movie people could at least get the stunts right, but they can’t. The gore isn’t convincing, and neither are any of the punches or kicks thrown. It then makes the fatal mistake of showing every explosion and crash in slow-motion. Now you'll definitely spot the helmet-wearing stunt drivers who have replaced the actors and their cheap costumes.
Exterminators of the Year 3000 (a title that is neither memorable nor appropriate for this film) is amusing for a while but sitting through the entire thing is a bore. You can have fun at its expense but eventually, the overwhelming, ever-pervasive shoddiness gets to you and you simply want it to end. (On Blu-ray, June 15, 2018)

Trieste, lavori di edilizia scolastica per 4 milioni e mezzo
Tumblr media
Trieste, lavori di edilizia scolastica per 4 milioni e mezzo. Durante la scorsa estate, il Comune di Trieste ha eseguito lavori di edilizia scolastica per quasi 4 milioni e mezzo di euro su 25 plessi scolastici. I dettagli sugli interventi svolti sono stati illustrati mercoledì nel corso di una conferenza stampa che si è tenuta presso la Sala Giunta del Comune di Trieste dagli Assessori comunali alle Politiche del Patrimonio Immobiliare, Elisa Lodi e alle Politiche dell'Educazione e della Famiglia, Nicole Matteoni alla presenza del Dirigente del Servizio Edilizia Scolastica e Sportiva Luigi Fantini e degli ingegneri del Servizio Sergio Ashiku, Luigi Stocchi e Diego Briganti. Nel periodo tra il 15 giugno e il 31 agosto 2022 sono stati eseguiti interventi in accordo quadro per 1.359.700 euro, di global service (cioè di manutenzione ordinaria) per 209.476,87 euro e infine interventi puntuali per 2.855.425,49 euro. «Quest'estate – ha rimarcato l'Assessore Elisa Lodi – abbiamo eseguito numerosi lavori nelle nostre scuole per complessivi 4.424.602,36 euro con 25 plessi interessati dalle manutenzioni, sia ordinarie che straordinarie. Nello specifico, interventi su soffitti, bonifiche amianto, interventi su impianti elettrici, ascensori e scale di emergenza e interventi puntuali, come ad esempio alla scuola primaria Duca D'Aosta per 600mila euro, alla scuola primaria Gaspardis per 850mila e all'Istituto comprensivo Iqbal Masih (su tutt'e tre le scuole presenti nel plesso) per oltre 978mila euro. Tutti lavori – ha proseguito Lodi - di manutenzione e di riqualificazione sia di spazi esterni che interni necessari allo svolgimento dell'attività scolastica. Un dato importante – ha sottolineato ancora Lodi – è che i lavori sono stati eseguiti a scuole chiuse: sono stati avviati al termine dell'anno scolastico e conclusi alla riapertura, per non creare disagi agli alunni». «L'edilizia scolastica – ha spiegato l'Assessore Nicole Matteoni - è una delle priorità di questa Amministrazione comunale. Con l'esecuzione di questi lavori, il Comune di Trieste ha dimostrato quanto ha a cuore il tema dell'edilizia scolastica intervenendo su tantissimi plessi (dagli asili nido alle scuole statali) rispondendo alla necessità di una continua manutenzione degli immobili allo scopo di offrire spazi decorosi e dignitosi ai nostri ragazzi. L'impegno prosegue – ha concluso Matteoni -. Sono già previsti infatti anche altri futuri lavori che permetteranno di incrementare la bellezza e fruibilità dei nostri plessi scolastici e tengo a sottolineare come la giunta sia al nostro fianco per dare risposte sempre più puntuali e complete ai nostri ragazzi»....

THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY (1981) – Episode 209 – Decades Of Horror 1980s
“Why do you keep telling me to go on with those pills? I feel fine. I never felt better! My nerves are fine the way they are!” If you moved into a house in the middle of a cemetery with an actual tomb inside the house, and it was the site of a murder-suicide, your nerves might be shot too. Join your faithful Grue-Crew – Bill Mulligan, Crystal Cleveland, and Jeff Mohr  – as they check out the final entry in Lucio Fulci’s Gates of Hell Trilogy, The House by the Cemetery (1981).

A New England home is terrorized by a series of murders, unbeknownst to the guests that a gruesome secret is hiding in the basement.

  Directed: Lucio Fulci
Writers: Dardano Sacchetti, Giorgio Mariuzzo, Lucio Fulci (screenplay); Elisa Briganti (story) (as Elisa Livia Briganti); H.P. Lovecraft (inspiration) (uncredited)
Music: Walter Rizzati
Cinematography: Sergio Salvati (director of photography)
Makeup Department:

Selected Cast:

Ania Pieroni as Ann (babysitter)
Giovanni Frezza as Bob Boyle
Silvia Collatina as Mae Freudstein

The House by the Cemetery, aka Quella villa accanto al cimitero (original title), is Jeff’s pick and he loves it. Despite the weird voice dubbed for Bob, the young boy in the story, he digs the atmospheric music, the long-drawn-out kill scenes, and what turns out to be a fairly coherent story, at least for a Fulci film. Crystal also loves The House by the Cemetery. Besides having maggots, gruesome kills, a weird story, and a creepy kid, it’s very well shot. 
The little boy is not cute, according to Bill, and he too describes the horrible voice dubbing of said boy. Though The House by the Cemetery is not his favorite of the trilogy, he still thinks it’s pretty cool. Despite the frequent scenes of characters walking around the house calling out names, it is pretty to look at and really well made.
The Decades of Horror Grue Crews always have something to say about Lucio Fulci’s work. Here are the Decades of Horror episodes discussing Fulci’s work:
ZOMBIE (1979) — Episode 62 — Decades Of Horror 1970s
CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD (The Gates Of Hell, 1980) – Episode 145 – Decades Of Horror 1980s
THE BEYOND (1981) – Episode 123 – Decades Of Horror 1980s
THE BLACK CAT (1981) – Episode 184 – Decades Of Horror 1980s
As of this writing, The House by the Cemetery is available to stream from Shudder. In terms of physical media, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD discs from Blue Underground are available.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Bill, will be Clash of the Titans (1981) with a stellar cast and, of course, the magic of Ray Harryhausen!

1990: The Bronx Warriors (1982)
Tumblr media
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
I watched 1990: The Bronx Warriors as part of my exploration of the “Road Warrior Post-Apocalyptic” genre. For the most part, the various imitators and derivatives have been aping the Mad Max franchise. This is the first time I’ve seen “inspiration” principally drawn from the other two establishing films of the genre: Escape from New York and The Warriors. The results are one of the most uninteresting and cheap attempts I’ve seen so far.
In (the then futuristic) year 1990, New York’s Bronx is dominated by crime and declared a No Man’s Land. The police have given up all attempts to bring order to the raving biker gangs who roam the streets. Ann (Stefania Girolami), the 17-year-old heiress to the nefarious Manhattan corporation runs to the lawless wasteland to hide from the responsibilities she will soon inherit. There, she befriends The Riders and their leader, Trash (Marco Di Gregorio). To get the woman back to the boardroom where she belongs, the Manhattan Corporation hires a mercenary named Hammer (Vic Morrow) to do anything it takes.
It begins as a thinly veiled rip-off of John Carpenter’s memorable action film and then turns into a cheaper, lazier, and endlessly duller version of Walter Hill’s cult-classic. You go in assuming this will be a cheap film; the other Post-Apocalyptic adventures didn’t exactly have big budgets. Even so, this is inexcusable. This film is too low-grade to deliver even the mildest form of vehicular carnage, which is a shame because the Warriors’ – I mean the Riders’ – motorcycles look so flimsy you know they’d fly in a million pieces if they hit even a medium-sized pothole. I’m not joking when I say it looks like they bought a bunch of Halloween decorations – on November 1st when they’re heavily discounted- and then glue-gunned them onto the steering wheel of their motorcycles.
The performances are horrible and the actors are made to look even worse by the ADR. Everyone’s all mush-mouthed, and with the home release’s lack of subtitles, you’ll struggle to understand what anyone is saying. Had this plot had any kind of substance or complexity to it, you’d be completely lost. Nonetheless, you keep watching, hoping there will be some cool stunts or hand-to-hand combat scenes to make this effort worth your time. Your hope is in vain.
The only way to draw enjoyment from 1990: The Bronx Warriors is by making fun of it. Even so, it doesn’t have much to offer. It’s agonizingly dull and so obviously devoid of any kind of passion, enthusiasm or effort. The one thing that might bring a smile to your face are some of the characters’ names and the art direction. If it seems as though I’m grasping at straws, I am but how could you not laugh at characters named Hotdog (Christopher Connelly), Witch (Elisabetta Dessy), The Ogre (Fred Williamson), Ice (John Loffredo) and… Paul (Rocco Lero)? Some of the random gangs receive given quirks that make them mildly diverting, such as a group of mimes who perform a coordinated dance, but those add nothing to the story. It’s a flat picture, obviously shot in a run-down neighbourhood. It drains the life out of you.
I suffered through 1990: The Bronx Warriors so you wouldn’t have to. There’s no reason to see this, even if you enjoy the stories it’s shamelessly burglarizing. I didn’t think it could get any worse than Exterminators from the Year 3000, but here we are. To survive these films, I’m going to have to set the bar way lower than expected. This Italian production has not one, but two sequels and I can’t imagine either being any better than this. (On DVD, August 4, 2018)

ZOMBIE (3-Disc Limited Edition) Blu-ray Reviews:
* "5 out of 5! The release is sourced from an exclusive new 4K restoration that is simply a thing of beauty. I think that it is the best work that the folks at Blue Underground have done to date... All in all, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the folks at Blue Underground have produced the definitive master and release of ZOMBIE. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!" - Blu-ray.com
* "Blue Underground has delivered the definitive home video release of ZOMBIE... It's difficult to imagine this 4K remaster and three-disc limited edition ever being dethroned... One of the most extraordinary cult cinema packages I've ever come across. I haven't awarded this site's highest rating to a title in more than two years, but Blue Underground's astonishing efforts here are richly deserving. DVD Talk Collector Series" - DVD Talk
* "ZOMBIE is a spaghetti splatter cornerstone that looks better than ever in Blue Underground's new 4K restoration-one of the few absolute 'must-own' releases for horror fans this year!" - Rue Morgue
* "Fulci gets so many elements of this film right - atmosphere, gore, story, decent characterization. This is Criterion-level treatment, and in some ways even more impressive. Undoubtedly, some of the best work Blue Underground has ever done, and if you're familiar with their transfers that's saying a lot. This is a no-brainer pick as one of the year's best home video releases!" - Dread Central * "Blue Underground's work on this title blew all of my expectations out of the water - the transfer truly is a revelation. After years of seeing this film in substandard quality, it's a shock to see it in such pristine quality - almost as if it was shot yesterday. Add to that a large extras selection and you have one of the finest Blu-ray horror releases of the year. Beyond recommended!" - The Digital Bits

MANIAC
The Notorious Horror Classic! Now on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray!
Frank Zito (a career performance by writer/executive producer Joe Spinell of ROCKY and THE GODFATHER fame) is a deeply disturbed man, haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. And when these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind, Frank prowls the seedy streets of New York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women. Now Frank has begun a relationship with a beautiful photographer (Caroline Munro of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), yet his vile compulsions remain. These are the atrocities of a human monster. This is the story of a MANIAC.
Directed by William Lustig (MANIAC COP 2, VIGILANTE) and featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD, FRIDAY THE 13th), this relentlessly shocking and disturbing film was originally banned or censored all over the world due to its graphic violence.

MANIAC (3-Disc Limited Edition) Blu-ray Reviews:
* "5 out of 5! It is sourced from an outstanding 4K remaster that will end up being the final makeover that the film gets on the home video market. The bonus material that was gathered for the release...is beyond overwhelming. Simply put, the folks at Blue Underground went to work to produce the definitive home video release of MANIAC and they delivered it. As far as I am concerned this is the type of top-quality work that deserves a perfect overall score. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"- Blu-ray.com
* "5 out of 5! This new 4K restoration of the original true 16MM negatives looks absolutely stellar. The folks at Blue Underground have absolutely done this film justice with this new 'Limited Edition' Blu-ray Disc release. It's sheer perfection in every single area. 5 across the board here for ratings, and that's something very rare for me to be able to justify!" - High Def Disc News
* "MANIAC is a horror classic. Blue Underground has treated it as such. A near flawless transfer, thoughtful audio commentaries, and a wealth of extras. As a result, MANIAC is a 'Top 10 Blu-Rays of the Year' level release. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!!" - The Movie Isle
* "10 out of 10! Blue Underground are heads and shoulders the fan's company as they are bringing us all these amazing films from our youth in stunning high definition and amazing quality with a lot of great special features. MANIAC on Blu-ray is a must buy!" - Wicked Channel
* "Almost forty years later, MANIAC has lost none of its power to shock... Blue Underground's Blu-ray reissue is a thing of morbid beauty, presenting the picture in a gorgeous new transfer, with really strong audio and with a couple of important new extras and all of the archival material from past editions as well. Highly recommended" - Rock! Shock! Pop!
* "MANIAC is just not a film you can ignore . . . especially in its final moments. Blue Underground presents the 4K restoration of MANIAC on Blu-ray with stunning results. With an upgrade in sound and in vision, this low budget shocker, originally filmed on 16mm, looks almost new again!" - Reel Reviews
