I’m looking for a couple of rare, obscure and quite graphic/bloody/gory slasher films, which I happened to come across in one of my cult film reference books; they were produced in Brazil, by the same producer/director in 1990, and were called "The Ritual of Death" and "Satanic Attraction"…
….does anyone know where I can find them, and if someone has seen them, can you give me any insight on how they are, or if they’re any good???
…available only through mail order, in the early 90′s, several of the released films, directed by Fauzi Mansur, has since gone out of print, are very, very, very hard to find, and have virtually disappeared into the void of obscurity; however, I was one of the curious and lucky few, who ventured into the film work of this Brazilian filmmaker, and picked up several of his productions, when they were made available, including "Ritual…" and "Satanic…"…
…indeed, these films are quite over-the-top bloody and gory, but to put the quality and appeal of his films into the simpliest of terms, consider comparing his films to the portrait work of the great Picasso…..quite visually striking, but ultimately incoherent and confusing…
