There’s something enduring about old horror film advertising; part hucksterism, part shoulder shrug, the viewer didn’t always get quite what was advertised. Case in point: two new Blu rays from Severin Films, Massacre in Dinosaur Valley and Cruel Jaws; the former has no dinosaurs, and the latter is hardly cruel, unless it’s to hardcore Jaws fans who couldn’t bear to see their story desecrated. Yes, this was my feeble attempt to link the two thematically before exploring them individually! I hope you enjoyed it. Let’s take a look at each:
Massacre in Dinosaur Valley is a little light on massacres per se, but it does offer up plenty of exploitation goodness from Italian writer/director Michele Massimo Tarantini (A Policewoman on the Porno Squad); those looking for something along the same wavelength as Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox, however, may be disappointed, as this is a kinder,...

These films gained a certain notoriety for their savage imagery (most notably the onscreen killing of animals) and brutal conventions (predominantly white people being set upon by primitive tribes and being summarily eaten). Due to this, a lot of otherwise intrepid horror audiences shied away from this sub-genre, thinking the filmmakers “out of their minds.” When certain governments caught wind of what was going on, these films soon found their way onto banned lists. Despite the efforts of “morality watchdogs,” the movies are just as much a...
