The New York Ripper / The Sinful Dwarf

(Due to my Fantastic Fest schedule, I decided to move
Grindhouse to early Friday Morning instead of late Friday Night.
Either way, it's still Friday.)

Friday at the Grindhouse Presents:

The New York Ripper
Entertaining slasher/sleazy flick by Lucio Fulci.
It's got grindhouse written all over it.
The opening sequence sets the mood to
this trip. I like how they throw in suspicious characters
just to fool with the audience about who the killer is.
And what other movie has a serial killer that talks like a duck?
Funny moments. A few scares, Fulci style.

Great for a grindhouse flick. Recommend it.






The Sinful Dwarf
Dwarfsploitation/Sexploitation.
This reminded me of Thriller: A Cruel Picture except
with a dwarf and his mother running the show.
This was more weird. Seriously weird.
I like the first half.
Very weird and disturbing with some great
grindhouse dialogue.
With a title like, The Sinful Dwarf, you should know
what you're getting yourself into.
I first heard about this through an Alamo Drafthouse guide.
They showed this at one of their Weird Wednesdays.
Not a film I would be proud of owning for the Grindhouse section.
Well, maybe, if they have it dirt cheap.
There's this one part that kinda ruins part of the movie.
When the main girl goes into the attic
and finds out what's going on, she decides to call the police.
She goes back to her room.
She doesn't call the police. A few minutes later,
she's back up there in the attic and she gets caught.
If they would of just cut that scene out,
this would of been a little better.
Points off for that.

Not a pleasant movie to see right away.
Have to be in the mood.
