So, here's a curious little gem from '82. Hosted by the ever-gravelly John Carradine, 'The Best of Sex and Violence' is essentially a patchwork of exploitation film clips that really captures that raw energy of the early 80s genre scene. It’s got a chaotic vibe, jumping between scenes of fantasy and horror that are both lurid and fascinating. The pacing is all over the place—one moment you're in a surreal dreamscape, and the next, you're plunged into something shockingly visceral. The practical effects, though often crude, have a certain charm that feels authentic. It’s an interesting dive into the world of exploitation that might not be for everyone but definitely paints a picture of a vibrant cinematic subculture.
This compilation is a bit of a rarity, primarily existing in VHS format which really adds to its charm and nostalgia for collectors. It wasn't widely released on other media, making it a bit harder to come by, hence the interest among genre aficionados. For those of us who enjoy the oddities of exploitation cinema, this tape is a distinctive piece that sheds light on a specific era, showcasing the wild and eclectic mix of themes that defined the genre.
