# it has no plot
and is a seemingly endless sequence of terrifying horror.

A truly scary film.

# I've not seen that
the other day, I realised I hadn't seen loads of films that used to be advertised at the start of videos you rented

# videos I rented?
that will include Rosie Dixon Night Nurse then. And Ferris Beuller's Day Off.

It is worth seeing - but only if you really want to be scared in the way that 80's films could scare you.

# Nah
it's one of those 70s British sex comedies with a completely bizarre cast - in this case including Beryl Reid, John Le Mesurier, Arthur Askey, John Junkin, Lance Percival, Bob Todd, Christopher "DI Burnside out of The Bill" Ellison, John "never in anything good, ever except 'A Clockwork Orange'" Clive and my mum's old mate Harry "the bloke who got eaten by a sofa in Doctor Who" Towb.

# Good
call, they were usually shit. Except "Alligator". "Alien Contamination". "Cannibal Ferox". "Cannibal Apocalypse", the most staggeringly dud entry in the whole cannibal sub-genre...

Weird how all the old 'video nasties' seem to be reappearing on DVD. I don't know what I'd have said if you'd told me fifteen years ago when I was scrabbling round trying to scare up nth-generation copies of these things on VHS that I'd eventually be able to walk into HMV and buy them in digitally remastered form to watch in the comfort of my own home.

# very true
even the name Cannibal Ferrox gives me a shiver down my spine. It actually featured genuine cannibals - or so my mates told me at the time. Was it not a documentary?
