1. Body Melt (Philip Brophy, 1993)
Australia's Philip Brophy only ever made one feature, but it's an 80's horror gem that is totally hilarious with some awesome low budget special effects and absolutely hilarious kills. The plot of Body Melt centers around a corporation that has been carrying out covert experiments on the local population- at the behest of one particularly ambitious woman- having injected them with a neon green substance that is possibly meant to be some sort of steroid, or fertility drug. It's effects can range from your tongue growing so big that it asphyxiates you, to having noodly appendages rip through your neck and into your brain...or even a complete body melt. The story begins when a whistleblower plans to leak information, about how the locals are unknowing subjects of this corporate conspiracy. But he is stopped when the aforementioned woman injects him with massive amounts of the unknown chemical, in a bid to assassinate him. He manages to escape, but suffers a complete body melt before he's able to make it to a hospital. Other great kills in this film include a guy getting a boner so huge that it explodes, and a guy choking his girlfriend to death in the middle of a session of auto-erotic asphyxiation because of something protruding from his back. But the absolute most ludicrous kill (of all time...?) occurs when a pregnant woman, who is just sitting at home, suddenly feels something kicking her belly. It turns out to be her placenta, which drops out and squirms off. She calls her doctor to find out if this is normal, but before he is able to get there, she starts to balloon up from gases inside her stomach. She's about to alleviate the pressure by stabbing herself in the belly with a letter opener, when her husband walks in. He goes to intervene, but before he is able to, he's attacked by her killer placenta, which persists on choking him to death! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-yxRCL04aY This film is not only a masterpiece of Ozploitation cinema, but it's hands down one of the best horror comedies you'll ever see! It's too bad Brophy didn't get to making more of these deviantly creative films.
