A film that's so bad it's... well it's still bad but I do love me some cheap and cheesy 80's Alien-bandwagon-jumping sci-fi horror B movie fare. 8)

Possibly the only film to feature someone getting raped to death by a giant space worm (with the exception of probably about 20 films that only AshVilla knows about :)).

Wiki"]Taaffe O'Connell and "the worm scene"

The commentary on the 2010 Shout! Factory DVD release (see below) includes R. J. Kizer, one of three editors of the film. Kizer reveals that the original version of this scene, which shows O'Connell's character 'Dameia' being raped and killed by a giant worm, was considered too sexually graphic by the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system (MPAA). The MPAA initially gave the film an X-rating when O'Connell's character, who had already revealed her fear of worms, is attacked by an enormous 12-foot long worm, complete with large tentacles and a maw. The initial writing of the scene had the worm consuming 'Dameia', but producer Corman had promised financial backers of the movie a sex scene involving the actress, and decided to change Dameia's method of death to being graphically raped instead. (Corman, interviewed in the same commentary, stated that the character of Dameia as re-written had a fear of sex as well. O'Connell, in a separate interview with Femme Fatales magazine, interpreted that Dameia's sexual fear involved a loss of self-control.) When the film's director, B. D. Clark, refused to helm the revised scene, and O'Connell balked at the full nudity then required of her, Corman directed the scene himself and hired a body double for the full nudity shots. As shot, Dameia's terror upon being attacked by the giant combines with forced sexual arousal after it starts raping her, the resulting dual strain causing her death as the monster drives her to climax.

Kizer had to make several tiny clips to the scene to get it released in the U.S. as R-rated. These mostly involved removing some of the more "rhapsodic, ecstatic" looks on O'Connell's face, as well as sexually suggestive motions made by the monster. Despite this, the scene was still found to be too explicit and was omitted in some countries, while the movie was denied a release at all in a few others. Later VHS and DVD releases in Europe and elsewhere contained the scene in its final, R-rated version. The clipped materials themselves were lost over time and are not included as part of the new DVD/blu-ray release.

It is truly hilarious stuff.

Have you seen One Eyed Monster? Think The Thing - but replace the 'thing' with a murderous monster alien penis. It crashes to earth on the site of a hardcore porno flick (naturally) and murders each of the cast and crew in increasingly perverted and gruesome ways. Great stuff!! Sounds quite similar, but One Eyed Monster is only a few years old. Sounds right up yer street

Seen Case 39. Decent but rather predictable. Still, good enough for a late Sunday night before you go to bed to start a new week.

a murderous monster alien penis

All this talk reminds me of Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend

...now that's one messed up movie my friends!

Possibly the most important Japanese gothic sci-fi tentacle sex horror metamorphosis allegory of our time, Urotsukidouji is poignant love tragedy wrapped in a shroud of horrific telescoping genitals and pink, luminescent semen.

I might have to watch New Urotsukidoji. 3 part OVA based on the first original OVA. Pretty certain it'll be awwwrite~

On the subject of extreme Japanese material (and for fear of reviving the anime thread, going back to films) Kichiku is on it's way to me from lovefilm. From one of the reviews on there;

This is not an enjoyable viewing experience and even the most desensitised gore-fans will find themselves turning away from some of the most shocking scenes of violence in cinema history.

Yayyyyyyyyy :D
