Asian Action Deadly Dolls Double Pack (2006)

Plot Synopsis

Lady Terminator (1988):  In 1889, the vicious "Queen of the South Sea" collects men that she murders during sex, thanks to a magical eel that lives inside of her vagina and bites the penises off of those who can't satisfy her lust. Finally, one man pleasures her long enough to reach inside and pull out the creature, which instantly turns into a dagger. Furious, the Queen vows that she'll take her revenge on the man's great-granddaughter, and goes into the sea to wait for one hundred years. A century passes, and Tania, a plucky anthropologist, finds an ancient book on the legend of the Queen and decides to investigate. She charters a boat to take her to the area where the Queen is believed to have disappeared, but while skindiving, a tidal wave destroys the vessel and Tania suddenly finds herself tied to a bed in a mysterious room. When a mystical eel enters her, she is possessed by the spirit of the bloodthirsty Queen. After killing a pair of drunken punks in a lascivious manner, she sees the image of Erika, a pop singer, on television and recognizes her as the descendant of the man the Queen vowed revenge on a century before. Armed with machine guns and impervious to bullets, the female assassin starts cutting a bloody swath through the city in an attempt to murder Erika, taking out scores of innocent bystanders, policemen and soldiers on her way. Erika's only hope is to recover the magic dagger that her great-grandfather has bequeathed to her for just this sort of emergency.

Dangerous Seductress (1992):  John Miller's horror film Dangerous Seductress stars Tonya Offer as Suzy, a woman who moves to Asia, where her sister works as a model, in order to get away from an abusive boyfriend.

Black Pit of Dr. M (aka Misterios de Ultratumba) (1958)

Plot Synopsis:  By day, Dr. Mazali (Rafael Bertrand) runs an insane asylum. By night, he lashes out at the veil between this life and the next, desperate to contact his former partner, Dr. Harrison Aldeman (Jacinto Aldama), who was executed for a crime he did not commit. What follows is madness, tragedy, agonizing violence and the unrelenting horror of infinite damnation.  The Black Pit of Dr. M is a masterpiece of gothic filmmaking punctuated by shocking jolts and beautiful imagery that render it years ahead of its time. It is also a major accomplishment in chilling tone, unsettling atmosphere and wildly inventive storytelling.  CasaNegra is proud to present this much sought-after classic digitally remastered and uncut for the first time on DVD. ~ CasaNegra Entertainment

Brainiac (1963)
-
trailer (quicktime)

Plot Synopsis:  AKA El Barón del Terror. The year is 1661. Baron Vitelius (Abel Salazar) stands accused of consorting with the devil. The penalty: death. Cursing his inquisitors as they burn him at the stake, the Baron’s revenge comes 300 years later, in the form of a horrifying fork-tongued incarnation of the Baron, hellbent on devouring the brains of the descendents of those who killed him. As bodies pile up, the police become mystified. Who is draining the skulls of local call-girls and well-to-do banquet-goers alike? And, more importantly, how many flamethrowers will it take to stop him? Brainiac is the supernatural cult classic that has been beloved for decades by fans of spook-show matinees and late-night monster movie marathons. Famously imported to the U.S. by exploitation icon K. Gordon Murray in the 1960s, Brainiac is at once lurid and loony, unnerving and uproarious, spellbinding and surreal. CasaNegra is proud to present this milestone of Mexican cinema digitally remastered and uncut for the first time on DVD. ~ Amazon.com

Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971)

Plot Synopsis:  This eerie, intelligent low-budget chiller has recently-released mental patient Zohra Lampert moving to a Connecticut farm with her husband and some friends. But a strange girl named Emily is at the farm too, and it soon becomes obvious that she is somehow related to a young woman who drowned on her wedding day in the 1800s. Is Emily a vampiric ghost? Are the hostile townsfolk all zombies? Or is Jessica losing her mind once again? This is a powerful ghost story, skillfully directed by John Hancock and surprisingly well acted by a talented young cast. Lampert is especially convincing in the title role, taking her performance several layers beyond the wide-eyed hysteria shown by similar characters in other films. The ending is a bit hokey, but Hancock rarely falters until that point. This elusive gem is well worth seeking out, and is guaranteed to raise goosebumps. ~ All Movie Guide

The Director's Cut is the full unrated version of this film with 3 extra minutes of film.

But don't think that you're in for a typical grind film. Private (aka Do It) bursts at the seams with exhilarating ebullience, dazzling colors, and sprightly music. It will keep you smiling for days. ~ Amazon.com
