As the horror and film communities fell head over heels for 2007’s Grindhouse double-feature, Planet Terror and Death Proof, fans have been reveling in the amount of exploitation material that has been released on disc since then. With cheapie box sets and several lines of DVDs pushing the grindhouse aura and rare uncovered films, this Fangorian was lucky enough to get a chance to view another lost classic, the 1997 eccentric trash-fest The Bloody Ape a.k.a. Son Of Sweetback Vs. Kong.
Not to be confused with the 1969 grindhouse film, Night Of The Bloody Apes, WildEye DVD has now brought this lost super-8 exploitation classic to DVD on a “super simian” special edition disc. A film that seems to throw in everything but the kitchen sink; this movie is an adventure into the obscure mind of a filmmaker that was influenced by the underground ridicule of yester-year and horror films in general.

I know the simple act of waiting for the new Nazisploitation movie Blitzkrieg: Escape From Stalag 69 has been hard on a lot of you (I get very emotional e-mails on an almost daily basis exemplifying just how hard) so I’m glad we can finally offer you some relief.
On your right is the cover art for Wild Eye’s December 15th release of the Special SS Edition of Keith Crocker’s incredibly out-there homage to some of the most bizarre movies ever made. The DVD will come with a slew of features including:
Commentary by Crocker along with assistant director Keith Maturro and lead actress Tatyana Kot “Nazis Over Nassau” behind-the-scenes doc Cast & crew Q&A from the film’s NYC run Test footage Schindler’s Lust trailer Deleted scenes Crocker’s early short “DeSade ‘88” So was the wait worth all the pain you’ve suffered? I certainly hope so.
