9. Island Of Death
Island of Death is a 1976 Greek film, made after the director Nikos Mastorakis saw how successful films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre were. The influence is certainly noticeable, although the film develops a style all its own. Whether or not that's a good thing remains to be seen. Island of Death is about a murderous sibling pair who go on vacation to Greece posing as newlyweds (Jaime and Cercei Lannister, is that you?), killing everyone they believe to be perverted or sinful. Ironically, if this film was in defter hands, it could have been a metaphor for the film censorship movement itself. But instead, it satisfies itself with a steady diet of goat sex, decapitation by bulldozer, and the always delightful act of calling Mummy while fornicating with one's sister in a phone booth. So not unlike the typical Mediterranean vacation. Island of Death is one of those films that is so outrageous that it almost goes full circle from terrible to nearly watchable again. And any film that features the frankly ridiculous line, "The fireplace was her favorite seducing center," can't be all bad.
