Kill the Scream Queen (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, let me set you straight. I love horror from 1920's silents up to the down n' dirty sadistic slashers, gut-munching zombies, and so on. This film along with numerous others that have come along in the last ten years or so seem to delight in just tons of nudity(which I don't mind) and torture scenes with no story whatsoever(which is unforgivable)!!! I know that this is the same gripe Ebert gave to Friday the 13th., but those types of films at least tried to give an iota of suspense. These films just want to shock you as to how far they can go, and let the director's film their own sick adolescent desires.
All I can say is that there is some beautiful girls who take off almost eveything. That would be the only draw because there is really no gore(some fake amateur blood) and I do not get off on rape. Some plot about luring girls to a snuff film audition was incredibly stupid. What girl is going to audition for a snuff film?
I really can't say anything else about this incredibly steaming pile of s***!!! I know this review will incite others to curiosity, but there is nothing here. The only people who could enjoy this type of "horror" is very disturbed teens with dysfunctional family lives.

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.

Ken Park (Uncut Uncensored Director's Version - Import) (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is gorilla film making. Ken Park is an incredibly difficult film to watch - in fact it will be impossible to watch for some. Yet, if you allow yourself to be taken into its world, the film paints a disturbingly accurate portrait of a certain culture which is not at all hard to believe.
We see the majority of characters longing, wanting to make a connection with other humans yet feeling alienated. We see, remarkably, the confusion and disinterest of a major portion of an entire generation that views life as hopeless.
The violence, nudity, graphic (and actual) sex never feel like exploitation or pornography, but they will surely keep a majority of Americans from viewing it. Good thing too, or they'd be asking for Larry Clark's head on a silver platter!
If you try to watch this with an open mind, and can leave your inhabitions and judgment at the door, it will be impossible not to be moved - and powerfully so - by this raw and disturbing film.

Flavia the Heretic (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I must say I was extremely excited when I finally sat down to watch "Flavia the Heretic." I first heard about the film years ago, back when DVD was first coming out and the only way to see films like this was to buy massively expensive first run VHS tapes or low quality dupes. The word on the street about Florinda Bolkan's epic nunsploitation flick was uniformly good. Most reviewers commented on the bizarre gore sequences, sequences renown for being over the top in the brutality department. And since I enjoyed Bolkan's odd performance as a tormented gypsy in Lucio Fulci's giallo "Don't Torture a Duckling," I figured giving this film a look was a no-brainer. Well, there is good and bad with "Flavia the Heretic." Bolkan's turn as a tormented nun is quite good and well worth watching. Regrettably, the gore isn't as disturbing as others said--at least not for me. Then again I've seen so many gore flicks that I'm probably jaded to most of this stuff. Whatever the case, "Flavia the Heretic" does succeed wildly on one important point: the movie is far, FAR better than "The Other Hell," hack director Bruno Mattei's banal contribution to the nunsploitation genre.
Through the eyes of Flavia Gaetani (Bolkan) we learn that fifteenth century Italy is not an amenable place for a young woman. The problems start when young Flavia witnesses the aftermath of a battle between Muslim invaders and her father's military forces. A wounded soldier has the temerity to make eye contact with the young girl, even smiles at her, before Flavia's father sees the two looking at each other and murders the Muslim in a fit of rage. So much for young love. The result of this innocuous exchange sees our young heroine ushered into a convent for life. Flavia isn't much of a nun, however, as she continually pushes the rules of the Church and antagonizes its officers. For example, her walks through the countryside often take her to the home of a Jew named Abraham (Claudio Cassinelli) for discussions of church doctrine as well as the role of women in society. Moreover, the young nun often undergoes hallucinations during lengthy bouts of prayers, hallucinations that tend to involve memories of the murdered Muslim soldier or one of the mosaics on the wall--of a male angel no less--assuming corporeal form in order to woo her. Apparently you can lock up a woman's body but you can't imprison her sensuality or yearning for independence.
Flavia will eventually find an unlikely ally in the form of Sister Agatha (Maria Casares), another nun who begins to question why women must submit to the will and desires of man. In the meantime, the arrival of a Tarantula cult (!) throws the convent into a dither. The women in this organization thrash about in the throes of some odd force, leaving behind them a message about liberation that makes a significant impact on Flavia. Also influencing her burgeoning feminist views are several scenes of cringe inducing violence: a French nobleman who takes what he wants from the local ladies, gruesome animal violence, and the sight of her father presiding over the torture murder of a fellow nun who happened to fall in with the Tarantula gals. Flavia eventually goes public with her new beliefs when the Muslims invade the area again. She manages to seduce the leader of this expedition and liberate the convent, thus allowing the nuns within to give full vent to their repressed emotions and desires. Our heroine even dons armor and leads a campaign against her father's soldiers. You go girl! Sadly, everything she accomplishes eventually comes crashing down with horrific results--this is still the fifteenth century, after all.
"Flavia the Heretic" is a movie a feminist scholar would probably like to analyze in an article. Most films in this genre would ramp up the gore and nudity in lieu of any meaningful themes. Not so "Flavia the Heretic"; this film spends nearly all its time discussing how women's subservience to men is an unacceptable standard by which to live let alone function as a healthy human being. The gore is almost an afterthought, as though the writer and director decided to throw in some nauseating scenes in an attempt to draw in the blood and carnage crowd. Don't get me wrong: the gory stuff witnessed by Flavia does occasionally merit a wince. Check out the scene where our heroine's dad tortures that nun, for example. I still can't believe he...well, watch and see for yourself. It's quite warped, though. Just as repulsive is what happens to Flavia after the Church and the locals reestablish control when the Muslims retreat. We only see what happens to her for a second or two, but the idea of the authorities executing a person in such a grotesque manner might send a few people running for the bathroom. Goodness, my leg is hurting just thinking about it! If I had any problems with the film, it's that the whole picture moves along in a painfully slow manner. The plodding pace nearly threatens to ruin the film in its entirety.
While I'm not surprised in the least to see Synapse Films release "Flavia" to disc, seeing as how they've made millions releasing controversial films to DVD, I am a bit disconcerted to see so few extras here. An interview with Bolkan, a trailer, and stills are the only things included as supplements. At least the picture transfer looks nice, and the fine audio quality allows the intriguing strings and flute score to come across well. Those who like their feminist dogma slathered in gory carnage (Who doesn't?) should definitely give this one a go.

Alice In Wonderland Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bravo to Subversive Cinema for finally bringing this gem to DVD. And to Amazon for making it widely available. This DVD contains both the X-rated and the XXX version of this infectiously happy little porno. A true classic from the Golden Age of porn.
This Alice is for adults only. The story is straight out of Lewis Carroll. Except that Alice is older. She's a small town librarian. A 20-year-old virgin and a prude. But Alice is the hottest prude you'll ever meet. Kristine DeBell was the Playmate and Playboy Centerfold for June 1976. She is the cutest little hottie, with her tiny upturned nose, petite body, all natural assets, and neatly trimmed bush (this was the 70s).
After a tiff with her horny boyfriend, prudish Alice learns all about sex in her daytrip to Wonderland. Her guides are Lewis Carrol's famous cast of characters. With a twist.
The Mad Hatter is a flasher with a 9-inch schlong. Humpty Dumpty falls off his wall and needs Alice to "blow" him up again. The White Rabbit is a perv who likes spying on Alice as she plays with herself. Tweedledum and Tweedledee are incestuous twins who can't get enough of each other. They show Alice how to get it on. The King's knights are Gay. The King is a Bongo playing African who speaks in painfully tortured rhyme (70s rap?). The Queen is a leather clad Dominatrix who takes a liking to Alice. And enjoys having her eat at her box. Alice is finally deflowered by the Texaco pump attendant (her boyfriend). It is a total laugh riot.
It may be porn but it's not like any porn you've ever seen. With fully choreographed song and dance numbers. Broadway Style and performed with gusto. A constant stream of witty one-liners. And naked flesh galore. Don't know if Kristine does her own singing but she sounds great. Just imagine, a singing, dancing Playboy Bunny. What more could you ask for. If you want sleaze, this is not for you. It is not nasty sex. It is just pure fun. Innocent fun. Even with the hardcore footage restored it remains sweet and innocent. And the cornball jokes never stop coming. Sample:
Alice eyeing the Mad Hatter's shrivelled dick with horror: "Oh my goodness... Are you alright? ... I thought I'd broken it."
Scrug to a wet Alice: "We don't have any towels. We had one once but a hotel stole it away."
Alice, as the Muggie licks her all over: "It feels good... If it feels good, there's a good chance it must be bad."
Humpty Dumpty falls and breaks his balls and everyone sings: "He can't get his ding-a-ling up." (Song)
Queen to Alice: "I don't want to cut off your head, I want you to give me some head."
Alice to girl impaled on Knight: 'What's a girl like you doing on a Knight like this?" (Song)
King to Gay Knight on Horseback: "Stay on the Nag, Fag."
King to Alice: "May My Rod and My Staff Comfort thee."
This Limited Storybook Edition DVD (30th Anniv.) contains the 72min X-Rated Theatrical cut (softcore) and the complete 81min XXX original (hardcore). It also comes with a 37min documentary featuring interviews with Adult Film practorian, Bill Margold, Porn Star and Feminist Critic, Lena Ramone and Larry Gelman who played the White Rabbit. Sadly Kristine DeBell was not involved. The films are presented in their original 1.85:1 widescreen (enhanced for widescreen TV). The X-rated version (softcore) has been fully restored and is as near perfect as you'll probably ever get to see Alice. The XXX version (hardcore) varies in quality depending on the state of each restored hardcore element. Multiple defects still remain. But it's more than acceptable. Sound is in the original Mono. Worth the price? Absolutely. Alice is delightful. It's light and breezy. It's full of fun. It'll leave you happy and smiling. It'll have you humming along with its silly tunes. They just don't make shows like these any more. And Kristine DeBell never looked more adorable than here.
Note: No other Extras are included. The originally proposed soundtrack audio-CD has been axed. The Limited Storybook Edition which I bought from Amazon doesn't have any storybook. Just the single DVD.
PS. Kristine does indeed do all her own hardcore scenes. All except the final deflowering. The defloration closeup uses a body-double. Apparently Kristine did sing all Alice's songs as well. An amazingly multi-talented girl.

Extra Weird Sampler (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are a fan of B-Movies, or just want to become a bit more familiar with the genre, this DVD is an absolute steal! I bought this "Something Weird Sampler" because of the low price, but my expectations were not high. I say with a grin "How wrong I was!"
A combination of theater trailers and 5-10 minutes snipets of flicks, The Sampler is an absolute video feast. What makes this budget buy so valuable is that a good portion of these films are unwatchable as full length films, but a sampling of the film or its trailer is priceless.
A few of the films like "Confessions of a Psycho-Cat" and "Swamp Girl" are low budget gems I enjoy on their entirety. The trailers for both these movies are included, and are every bit as awesome as the films themselves (by the way, the man being gored to death by the "Lady Matador Psycho-Cat" is none other than Jake LaMotta!).
And if you are one of those fans of 1960s nudie & cheesecake movies, this trailer compilation has nudity galore in many of these previews, including "Wham-Bam Thank You Spaceman," "Nude on the Moon," and "Kiss Me Quick."
Other truly hep trailers include "Kidnapped Co-Ed," "Two Thousand Maniacs," "Mantis In Lace" (late 1960s classic about a stripper who, under the influence of LSD, becomes a killing machine!), "Johnny Firecloud," "For The Hell Of It," and LOTS MORE!
I truly hope there is a sequel to this Sampler. It would be great to see other trailers and samplings that Something Weird Video does have in their library like "Pot, Parents and Police," "The Psychedelic Priest," and "The Adventures of Lucky Pierre."
