Olaf
When you have a few days for yourself, you can relax and focus on the important things in life. Olaf Ittenbach is my new friend. He is from Germany (1969) and made about one movie every two years, about ten by now. To make a short story long, Olaf makes super violent culty splatter movies.
His 1992 'Burning Moon' is still much hailed in the hard-core horror scene, because Olaf was arrested for this film in Germany.
The story goes that there is even a 5+ rated movie on imdb that was never made;
"Refering to some information I got from the writer of the script, Thomas Reitmairr, I sadly have to herald that 'Evil Rising' 2002 was never produced. It was planned to be set in Iran (of all places) but unfortunately the project was stopped in early 2003. So don't try to find it, you definitely won't succeed."
Posters and trailers always give you a great impression, but they never give you the suspense of the full story.
The low–budget 'Beyond the Limits' (2003) is extremely gore but it's not a bad movie. Most of the performances are only reasonable, the choreography of the fights with sword is terrible, but I liked the plot. There is an enormous exploitation of violence, but the special effects are very impressive and realistic. The only work of director Olaf Ittenbach that I have had the chance to see is the awful "Legion of the Dead", and "Beyond the Limits" is better and better showing a great improvement in his career. The characters Mortimer (mainly) and Brewster are among the most sadistic I have ever seen. The torture at the dinner table and in the castle chamber, the massacre in the church and the trip to Hell are extremely impressive and strong, and of course not recommended to sensitive persons. My vote is a splashig eight out of ten.
I'm sure you can find more information about this film on the web. The full movie comes in about 8x100MB. parts;
