Rise and Fall of Idi Amin (1981)
Rise and Fall of Idi Amin, also known as Amin: The Rise and Fall,
is a 1981 biographical film directed by Sharad Patel and starring
Joseph Olita as Idi Amin.
The film details the controversial actions and atrocities of the
former dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin Dada, during his violent rise
to power in 1971 until his overthrow in 1979 as the result of the
Uganda–Tanzania War. The film was a co-production of the United
Kingdom, Kenya and Nigeria, with most of filming done in Kenya,
less than a year after Amin's downfall.
Despite being branded as an exploitation film, it is actually quite
accurate with the facts and dates of the events depicted, including
the Israeli raid, the war with Tanzania, and the capture and
imprisonment of British journalist Denis Hills (who portrays himself
in the film). It does, however, take certain liberties, especially
with the portrayal of Amin (such as being shown to be a cannibal,
reflecting a popular rumor). For the most part, the film accurately
portrays many real people, including Bob Astles, Amin's white advisor
and assistant.
When released to international audiences, including in the United
States, most of the voices were dubbed, due to poor sound production.

K3: Prison of Hell (2009 Germany)
"Three women are incarcerated at the notorious prison K3. ... K3: Prison of Hell
isn´t very good, it´s quite boring but it is a very sleazy flick with lots and
lots of full frontal nudity, explicit sex, sadism and degradation and the last
30 minutes or so are incredibly violent."

Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)
Ivan Igor (Lionel Atwill) is a sculptor who operates a wax museum
in 1921 London. When business is failing due to people's attraction
to the macabre, Igor's investment partner, Joe Worth (Edwin Maxwell),
tries to burn the museum down for the insurance money of £10,000.
Igor wouldn't have it but Worth starts a fire anyway. Igor tries to
stop him, and both he and Worth get into a fight. Worth knocks Igor
unconscious, leaving the sculptor to die.
Igor survives, however, and reemerges 12 years later in New York
City, reopening a new wax museum. His hands and legs have been badly
crippled in the fire, and he must rely on assistants to create his new
sculptures.
Meanwhile, reporter Florence Dempsey (Glenda Farrell) is sent out
by her editor, Jim (Frank McHugh) to investigate the suicide of a
model named Joan Gale (Monica Bannister). During this time, a hideous
monster steals the body of Joan Gale from the morgue. When investigators
find that her body has been stolen, they suspect murder.
