FORCED ENTRY (1973)

 The combination of hardcore sex and explicit murder is the main draw here and it's a rough ride through grimy 70s New York that does sorta play like a dark XXX version of TAXI DRIVER(which didn't even exist yet). I always imagine some poor schmuck sitting in a theater desperately trying to jerk off to films like this back in the day. This one has got to be one of the toughest ones to in any way get off to. In between star Harry Reems stalking around the city you do get one straight sex scene(featuring director Shaun Costello wearing some very ugly clothes), a couple of rapes(oral and anal) and an almost constant barrage of actual footage of Vietnam during the war. If this isn't enough to melt your hard-on wait for the stabbings and throat-slashing. It all ends up with some super annoying hippie chicks tripping their asses off which turn out to be our crazed vet's kryptonite. This is a real oddity that needs to be seen just for its strangeness. I imagine no one would even attempt to emulate this today in the hypersensitive p.c. shithole we currently exist in.

SEX WISH (1976)

 Harry Reems does his best interpretation of Charles Bronson in this sleazy porno take-off on DEATH WISH. Of course in DEATH WISH the focus is mostly on revenge. In this the focus is split between scenes of rape, torture and murder and scenes of regular old sex(the worst parts of the movie!) and bits where Reems is trying to find the killer of his fiance. The killer is a disgusting piece of work played by Zebedy Colt(also the director here) who acts like a little boy(who's really into bondage games) one minute and then a whip-happy sadomasochistic adult the next. He beats the shit out of his victims, slices people up with his sword-cane and even castrates one unfortunate black fellow. There's also one actress(Deanna Darby) who shows up in this, playing one half of a bi-sexual couple, who might be one of my favorite porn actresses ever! She come complete with bruises all over her body and a big scar across the belly. She has a great scene where she gives Mr. Reems the idea to seek vengeance for what has happened to him. Of course she tells him this with a face full of his cum which I would find way more encouraging if it happened to me. CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST star R. Bolla is also here as a cop in a smaller part.
 I got to experience this in a theater on glorious 35mm film last night and while it wasn't the best made thing it was certainly a memorable ride into lowlife porno-land.
