Evil: In the Time of Heroes (2009)

AKA: To Kako - Stin Epohi Ton Iroon

Starring: Billy Zane, Meletis Georgiadis, Andreas Kontopoulos, Arigiris Thanasoulas, Ioaana Pappa, Pepi Moschovakou, Drosos Skotis
Director: Giorgos Nousias


Premise:
Survivors try to flee Greece after the dead rise.

My Take:
The sequel ups the budget, story, and comedy. I enjoyed the lunacy far more than the original. It also has a backstory of why the uprising happened and how to stop it.

Rating: In the middle

Island of Death (1977)

Starring: Robert Behling, Jane Lyle
Director: Nico Mastorakis


Premise:
A British couple arrive on small Greek island and proceed to cause havoc by going on a murder spree.

My Take:
This movie contains some outlandish situations revolving around bestiality, incest, raping hippies, sexism, and homophobia. It results in lots of killing and nudity. Unfortunately really just shocking for the sake of being shocking and not much substance behind the actions (or generic reasons at best). And the acting is terrible by everyone involved. Supposedly it's notable in the exploitation and Greek cinema, so film buffs may want to watch it.

Rating: Warning

Singapore Sling (1990)

Starring: Meredyth Herold
Director: Nikos Nikolaidis

Premise:
A detective searching for his missing love stumbles into a house where a psychotic mother and daughter live. They capture and take him prisoner.

My Take:
Be warned. This movie contains a heavy dose of S&M, incest, rape, and violence. But it's done in such a stylish way you get wrapped up in the film noir type story. 
The movie is creepy and very unsettling but on the flip side it's very engrossing.
Not for all tastes.

Rating: So Good
