Snake Sisters is due to be released on DVD in the US by Pete Tombs'
Mondo Macabro label. No word on a street date yet. All of the previous Mondo Macabro discs have good extras, often including a documentary on the genre cinema from the country of origin.
Silip has been gaining something of a cult following among American exploitation fans. The first seller of the movie, Shocking Videos described it in part as an " astounding, near-hardcore sexploitation monstrosity... this black hearted beauty will have you spellbound and slack-jawed with amazement!". I've yet to see it myself. I must admit to being a bit disappointed to learn that Ma. Isabel Lopez & Sarsi do
*not* have a lesbian scene, as I had been led to believe...I do hope the film er...
compensates for that in other ways (at least where Lopez is concerned).
A few questions:
--Do Tata Esteban's films fit into the bomba category? The little I've read about
Hubo sa Dilim has piqued my curiosity.
--Does anyone have an idea of what are the
oldest bomba films available on VHS/DVD/VCD? Reading this thread is akin to being on a rollercoaster: I'm tantalized by all these obscure titles, only to have my enthusiasm plummet every time each title mentioned is followed by a "not available in any format". I've been combing through Regal for older titles (mainly 70s, and early 80s) but am hoping someone could point out some titles (sans the likes of
Scorpio Nights or
Temptation Island, which I have). Thanks very much.
(oh yeah...this is my first post...Hello!)
