So since I am not working this summer (which is killing me slowly inside...) I have decided to watch exploitation films that I have and heard about. Recently I finished Beyond the Valley of the Dolls: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065466/ .
I watched Valley of the Dolls awhile back and decided that this had to be the next thing to watch.
Long story short, there is this crazy murder scene that was based off the Manson family's murder and the lesbian couple dies. I don't know. I find it funny and disturbing at the same time. In the 70s women in horror and b- movies portrayed a lot of things, and lesbians were one of them. Usually, the couple is experimental, and eventually dies in murder, rage, rape, or any other odd mutilating way. Common theme throughout various films. I don't know why, but I guess it is an interesting look into our history when we look at how we portray the women and homosexual community in the cinema. Besides that, the soundtrack is rocking...anyways.
Exploitation films. Tons of blood, bad acting, nude women and men, and much more!
