Absurd is a 1981 Italy horror by Joe D'Amato (as Peter Newton).
Starring George Eastman, Annie Belle and Charles Borromel.
 BBFC cuts were required for an 18 rated 1983 cinema release. Later banned
as a video nasty in 1983. The BBFC waived their cuts for an uncut 18 rated home video release in 2017. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. There also exists an extended version in Belgium with additional dialogue and an extended scene. Summary Review:
Halloween-esque Monster Hunter is the Halloween-esque 'sequel' to 1981's insomniac's dream Anthropophagous . This time around D'Amato brings to us a sense of pace, making Monster Hunter much more enjoyable.
The added gore (including an ultra-torturous scene involving an oven) and cool electronic music score is a nice bonus. The story brings back George Eastman as our favorite cannibal, this time somewhere in the
US being hunted by a priest. A bit boring at times but Eastman's presence is over powering and the end involving a 'vegetable' overcoming her disabilities to face the beast is fairly ironic.

The Anthropophagous Beast is a 1980 Italian horror by Joe D'Amato.
With Tisa Farrow, Saverio Vallone and Serena Grandi.
Famously banned
in the UK as a video nasty. The US R rated version is heavily cut and was also distributed in the UK. Released uncut in the UK on DVD and then Blu-ray in 2015. The Unrated Version in the US is uncut. Summary Review: Cult Classic
Gruesome killing & cannibalism including stomping on the bellies of pregnant women so as to snack on their fetuses. As a finale, the beast dies after eating his own intestines. A group of
tourists become stranded on an uninhabited island where they are stalked by an insane, violent, and grotesque killer that slaughtered the town's former residents. A cult film rated as a 'must have' for collectors of the genre. It
is famous for a fetus eating scene that was cut for the US R Rated version. A good scary movie with good atmosphere, decent acting and plenty of gore.
Availability
 An uncut VHS was released by Video Film Promotions in February 1983. It was listed as a video nasty in November 1983 and stayed listed
throughout the scare, so became one of the collectable DPP39s. A cut VHS version was then released on the Videoshack label to try and exploit the video nasty status, but it didn't sell well. However this did make it a rarity and therefore a challenge
for collectors. The heavily cut US R Rated version, The Grim Reaper was passed by the BBFC in 2002 . Passed 18 uncut on DVD in 2015.

- the Axe Murders
- The Virgin Slaughter
Axe is a 1977 US horror by Frederick R Friedel.
With Leslie Lee, Jack Canon and Ray Green.
Murderous gangsters on the run descend on isolated farm inhabited by girl &
her paralysed father. The girl rejects amorous advances with the assistance of an axe and a razor.
Summary Review: Classic of its kind A gang of three
murderers escape the police, terrorize a salesgirl in a roadside grocery store, then proceed to hide-out in a seemingly deserted farmhouse. They soon discover that a young girl, Lisa, and her paralyzed grandfather live there. The gang attempt some sleazy
deeds, but Lisa shows how she can work an axe in self defence.
Even though this movie is EXTREMELY low-budget and is only around 60 minutes long, it is still another example of how a low-budget can help a movie. The acting isn't always the best,
but Leslie Lee is considerably creepy as Lisa the axe murderess. The movie doesn't really go anywhere, but it is a classic of its kind.
