Island of Death
Mastorakis watched Texas Chain Saw, counted the perversions and wrote a list. It shows.
Nico Mastorakis has said in interviews, more or less directly, that he watched The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, worked out how much money it had made, and wrote a list of taboos to put in a film.
A British couple arrive on Mykonos and begin killing the residents, and the couple's own relationship turns out to be the thing the film is really building toward.
It is relentless and it is calculated, which is the uncomfortable part. There is no craft argument to make for it and no accidental power either. It sets out to be the most offensive thing available and it is competently made, which is worse.
Shot on the island with locals as extras who were told it was a different production.

Andy Milligan shooting in Staten Island with a hand-held Auricon. An acquired taste nobody acquires.

A home invasion built entirely on racial abuse. Genuinely hard to watch and not for craft reasons.
WATCHobscureMardi Gras Massacre
An Aztec-obsessed killer in New Orleans. A Blood Feast remake in all but name, and slower.

The only British film on the DPP list. A novelist, a typist and Fiona Richmond in a farmhouse.

Cursed cave dwellers from 12,000 BC eating people in modern Los Angeles. Incoherent throughout.

Every line is dubbed, including scenes with nobody talking. Almost hypnotically incompetent.
