For its fourth edition, Mondo Video is dragging two of the most deranged tapes the shot-on-video horror era ever spat out into the light.

When Marilyn sets out to settle her aunt’s estate in the backwoods of Angel Falls, she throws open the gates of hell: her supernatural witch-aunt drew on the powers of Red Spirit Lake, refused to pass them on, and was murdered for it. Now she haunts the SOV fever dream of Charles Pinion’s RED SPIRIT LAKE (1993), best described as stoner surrealism, creatures shambling through snow-covered landscapes, washed-out images, garish seas of color that evoke the cinema of Mario Bava, or**es of violence and sauna s*x, all laced with Lynchian atmospheres. You won’t believe it until you’ve seen it.

Twin brothers Alan and Joseph are on their way to a summer trip to visit Aunt Lacey, not knowing it will likely be their last. Together with her farmhand, Lacey lives shut away on a run-down farm where the two of them have succumbed to a fascination with rotting human flesh. For the siblings, a ride to hell begins, one that leads straight to the grave. SPLATTER FARM (1987) is a relentless string of abysmal perversions, captured by the Polonia brothers in the dreamlike quality of VHS amateur film. Here, untouched rural country meets the quirks of a threadbare farmhouse interior.

Before the tapes roll, Vincent Albarano will open the crypt on SOV as a whole. He is the author of Aesthetic Deviations (Headpress, 2023), the first book to take American shot-on-video horror seriously as an art form. He drags these camcorder nightmares into the same room as Bazin, Kracauer and Brakhage and dares you to keep sneering.

Introducing virtually his own film: Charles Pinion, the man who kicked off with the psycho-punk splatter of Twisted Issues (1988) and has spent three decades mutating the underground into ever-stranger shapes.

Consider yourselves warned.

That wasn’t just a screening: it was one of the most electrifying live performances we’ve ever witnessed. With VJ Emmie dubbing EATEN ALIVE IN UGANDA live on the mic and a packed Filmrauschpalast hanging on every word, the night was truly unforgettable.

Ugandan cinema the way it’s meant to be: loud, wild, with helicopters, sweetpotatos, Angela Merkel and zombies.

Thank you vj Emmy , thank you Marion Desmaret, thank you to everyone who showed up.
We hope to see you back ❤️

Next stop: slashfilmfest in Vienna! Don’t miss it.

September 18th, VJ Emmie brings the art of Ugandan live-dubbing to Berlin and takes on EATEN ALIVE IN UGANDA (Nabwana I.G.G., UG 2026), the latest action escalation from Wakaliwood production.

Zombies, kung-fu, bazookas, voodoo, runaway action and DIY effects meet a form of cinema that only exists in the moment of performance. As a „Video Joker,“ VJ Emmie dubs live, translates the dialogue, and rewrites the whole story with his commentary as it plays.

Opening the night: FORGET THE DIRECTOR, THIS IS EMMY’S CUT! by Marion Desmaret, screening in her presence. Her short, experimental documentary (world premiere IFFR 2026) follows Emmy Batte, aka VJ Emmie, at work.

FORGET THE DIRECTOR, THIS IS EMMY’S CUT! (Marion Desmaret, UG/DE 2026, 11‘, OV with English subtitles, DCP)
EATEN ALIVE IN UGANDA (Nabwana I.G.G., UG 2026, 55‘, OV with VJ commentary), starring Alan Hofmanis, Ssali, Isaac Newton Kizito, Mwebaza Faridah

Part of the Wakaliwood European Tour 2026: Leipzig (Sep 17, Festival), Berlin (Sep 18), Vienna (Sep 25, Vienna).

This Friday, September 11, we’re kicking off a new collaboration with Muscle Distribution. Special thanks to its founder, Elizabeth Purchell (Liz), who’ll be introducing both films.

Elizabeth is a Brooklyn-based q***r film historian, programmer and filmmaker. With Muscle Distribution, she brings forgotten, underseen and long-unavailable films back into circulation.

The catalogue moves through very different corners of underground cinema: from Haydn Keenan’s Australian counterculture classic GOING DOWN to the q***r erotic cinema of Peter Berlin and Wakefield Poole, and the work of adult-film pioneer Alex de Renzy. Through Muscle’s theatrical work with different collaborators, it reaches even further into American exploitation and s*xploitation, with films by Radley Metzger, Joe Sarno, the Amero brothers, Michael Findlay and more.

A whole stack of strange, transgressive and rarely screened cinema we’ve been dying to dig into.

A few tickets for our screening of THE IMAGE & CORRUPTION are still available - Link in Bio

If you’ve ever wondered what a Lynchian p**n film might look like, or just how s*xy B**M in 1970s Paris could be on screen — Zelluloid42 has got you covered! In collaboration with Muscle Distribution, we’re seeing out the summer with two very special gems from the Golden Age of P**n, presented in stunning new 2K/4K restorations!

In CORRUPTION (1983, 78 min, OV), we follow p**n legend Jamie Gillis on a tour de force through guilt and moral dead ends, unfolding in dark, psychedelic vignettes that are as chilling as they are mesmerizing. Visually and atmospherically, the film frequently brings to mind the aforementioned master of American nightmare cinema, David Lynch. Director Roger Watkins (best known for his legendary horror film Last House on Dead End Street) crams not only plenty of genitalia but also so many grotesquely beautiful images into barely 80 minutes that it’s enough to make your head spin. Highly recommended!

Things get a little more down-to-earth - but all the more whip-heavy - in THE IMAGE (1975, 94 min, OV). Based on the novel of the same name by Catherine Robbe-Grillet, at the time France’s most famous do******ix, the film by erotic-cinema jack-of-all-trades Radley Metzger (The Opening of Misty Beethoven, Score) draws us into the irresistible pull of a B**M ménage à trois: When Jean (Carl Parker), a writer living in Paris, unexpectedly runs into his old friend Claire (Marilyn Roberts) at a party, he becomes fascinated by the uncompromising relationship she has with the younger, submissive Anne (Mary Mendum). Initially shocked but increasingly curious, he soon finds himself drawn into their sadomasochistic maelstrom…

Both restorations — produced by Vinegar Syndrome and Distribpix/The Rialto Report — will be screening in Berlin for the very first time ever!

September 11th, 7PM, Filmrauschpalast.

The second part of our Italo Sneak takes us to the “Green Inferno” of the Amazon. Featuring a film by Ruggero Deodato, this screening is dedicated to one of the greats of Italian exploitation cinema, who truly pushed the boundaries of what could be depicted in commercial cinema with his films.

This is especially true of this film—be warned! It’s going to be a man-eating affair - and at the same time, one that quite cleverly raises moral questions on the manipulative power of the film medium. Discursive horror, but of the „rustic“ kind!

📆 Sunday 8.30. p.m. at Filmrauschpalast, Lehrter Str. 35, 10557 Berlin.

The film is being shown from a beautiful German “Bahnhofskino” print.

This August, the Pleasure Dome once again opens its doors to one of the undisputed heartlands of extreme cinema: We’re presenting two Italian grindhouse classics from the early ’80s that are so terrifying we don’t even dare to mention them by name… Welcome to our first sneak preview!
For the fearless! For those who want to confront their own fears and limits in the cinema! For all fans of the explicit, the extreme, and the repulsive. As always, presented from analog, historical film prints—this time, a suitably worn-out German-dubbed „Bahnhofkino“ print, as well as a rare original print with English subtitles.

What can we reveal about the films? Well: One takes us to the rural U.S. of Gothic mansions, the other to a supposedly vibrant paradise along the Amazon. Descending into the basement means facing terror head-on, just as one danger follows another behind the lush greenery of the jungle. Full-frontal exploitation. In both cases, however, there’s also a deeper layer—the “clever” ones among us can expect a nod to Freud’s metapsychology as well as a memorable meta-discussion of cinema (specifically its manipulations).

For those who haven’t guessed yet, here’s a little name-dropping: With Lucio Fulci and Ruggero Deodato, we’ve invited two of the very patron saints of Italian genre cinema.
