THE DEBUT FILMS
OF
ANTOINE PELLISSIER
and NORBERT MOUTIER
_____________________
FILM
1 CRAZY
MURDERS [Folies Meurtrieres]
(1984)
director:
Antoine Pellissier
starring: Magali Bernard
· Elisabeth Carou · Brigitte
Garrigue
This
surprising good debut underground film from director Pellissier is a quirky
benchmark in splatter cinema. After an unknown crazed killer stalks and
slaughters a collection of beautiful women, the plot twists into something
totally unexpected.
Mr Pellissier
has completed only a handful of self-financed movies, probably best known
for the over-the-top, gore-soaked MALEFICIA.
Despite his obvious mania for graphic, politically incorrect subject
matter, Antoine Pellissier has been a practicing family doctor in Nimes
France for more than 40 years.

FILM
2 OGROFF:
MAD MUTILATOR (1983)
director:
Norbert Mountieer [as N. G. Mount]
starring: Howard Vernon
· France Deniel
· Norbert Moiuntieer
· Peter
Pattin
Don't
kid yourself. This film is not good. But it is one of the unique Z-grade
chillers of the 80s, easily falling into that sacred 'so bad it's good'
classification. Director Mountier plays the mad slasher Ogroff, a vicious
hermit with only one purpose in life... to kill any man, woman or child
who stumbles onto his remote hideout in the woods. Of course, the murders
are brutal and [cinematically] graphic. But that's the entire plot...
until around the 60 minute mark when the zombies inexplicably emerge ...and
veteran actor Howard Vernon shows up as a vampire master.
This
was the debut for director Norbert Mountieer, arguably better known for
his gore film TREPANATOR
starring Jean Rollin in 1994]. Norbert's day-job was clerk at a Paris
Video Store. He also published a popular cult cinema magazine thru the
'80s and '90s. Mr Mountieer would die from the Covid virus January 2020
in Orléans, France, at age 78.
