Sex Spa / Wayward Mistress Grindhouse Double Feature Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just writing this review to others as a warning if they are considering buying this, and the warning is: THINK TWICE!!! This DVD package is a total gyp!
Neither movie has any quality in it whatsoever. Both of these films should be tossed in the gutter where they came from. No attempt at serious acting whatsoever and the camrawork is atrocious! I'm not speaking of it transferwise, but as it was filmed. These movies view as if they were filmed by homeless people who found discarded camera equipment that wasn't very good but still worked, in some subway, decided to put it to good use by hiring a few junkies off of the streets to star in them and in return offer them a percentage of the proceeds!
Incompetant Camerawork, to say the least. Constant closeups of I dont know what. The scenes in these movies photograph as if the cameramen didn't know whether they were coming or going, and what makes them think people like to look at constant repetitive closup views of god knows what that just go on and on and on:--and for the pupose of what exactly? To make us dizzy!? Move around a little! Pan a little! Widen the shot a bit! What's wrong with you people!!?
On a side note, the acting is also very lethargic. Not one actor looks as if he hasnt sufferd massive brain-damage due to drugs. I wouldnt recommend paying anything more than $12 for this package and that's only if you're really curious. For anyone mildly curious, even $10 is too much. Buy this when it costs what it's actually worth, and dont be as dumb as I was. Anything over $12 is too much.

The Pigkeeper's Daughter / Sassy Sue (1975) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Up until three months ago, I was ignorant of producer Harry Novak, his soft-X filmographry or Something Weird Video, the Seattle company that's preserved these nuggets of drive-in history. Now that I've learned about them, I thank God for all three. Both "The Pigkeeper's Daughter" and "Sassy Sue" are goofy hillbilly humpathons that offer plenty of laughs, though most are of the unintentional kind. "The Pigkeeper's Daughter" has qualities more closely associated with porn: Wretched acting, a mere hint of a plot and even less of a script, and lots of extended sex scenes (which are pretty explicit for a softie). Terry Gibson (in the title role) and Patty Smith (a.k.a. Peggy Church) are about the only people anyone would want to see have sex. There's a surprising amount of male nudity--unfortunately it's in the form of out-of-shape John Keith and skinny Peter James (who has some nasty looking teeth). And what happened to the "actress" playing Gibson's mama? Her breasts look chafed and there's a horrible bruise across her lower back. Was she beaten into taking this role? (This might explain her performance.) By comparison, "Sassy Sue"--the story of a young man, his cow, and the women who try to come between them--is a much more polished effort. The acting is a little better (though it's still bad), the cast is more effective and there's actually some genuine laughs. A definite highpoint in this one is John Tull's tryst with one of the horny babes wanting some backwoods boffing ("It would help if you mooed a little," he snipes). The sex--although simulated and not quite as explicit as that in "Pigkeeper's Daughter" (there's a moment in the final scene that pushes the boundaries of softcore, however)--seems a little more genuine in "Sassy Sue." Both movies are raunchy fun, though "Pigkeeper's Daughter" is raunchier and "Sassy Sue" is more fun. Better than both movies are the trailers for other similarly-themed Harry Novak productions, like "Midnight Plowboy," "Country Cuzzins" and "Tobacco Roody." Fans of large breasts and trash cinema will definitely want to add this to their collection.
