I am a dubbing guy.

The actors doing the dubbing add an extra layer or artsiness.

Ditto.

Though, sometimes, the dubbing can add for cheese factor.

Hey, the main girl from It Stains The Sands Red is in this one. As "Carly", and looks like she might be a hooker in this too.

Gawd the forensic filler in these movies are so tedious and dull. Like, it really only worked in the first few movies. Maybe 3D, but...I really don't care about any of that narrative.

I first watched I Saw the Devil with subtitles, and in the middle of the movie, I can't remember what scene right off hand. I think they were in a store or something. It was probably more than halfway into the movie. I think it was the main actor who yelled something, and I was interested to see how it was dubbed in English, and holy shit was it the cheesiest fucking thing. I'll pop it in the DVD player maybe tonight so I can pinpoint what I'm talking about and you can see for yourself. Really took the movie out of its element. lol.

Watching Embrace of the Vampire (1995)

I'm guessing the film I saw last year, Embrace the Darkness (1999), was a rip-off of this one. Both heavily drama vampire love/rape stories.

This naive girl just took an open drink from a guy at a party, though - her friend really needs to be watching her, as that is not at all safe.

This lesbian seduction scene could lose the hideous R&B in the background, please and thank you. :P

Embrace of the Vampire has some solid nudity, but it's a damn shame it's cushioned in such a boring movie.

You're not watching the right horror. :P

About thirty minutes into Delusion (1981). Definitely feels more like a 70's movie than an 80's. I do like newer title (The House Where Death Lives) quite a bit more than the somewhat boring Delusion.

Alyssa's nudity in Embrace of the Vampire is among the best, imo.

Amazon Prime has a really cleaned up version of the original Night of the Living Dead. Nice. Watching now.

May be true, but the movie itself isn't doing the nudity any favors.
