kind of disappointing.......2007-06-27

I got this at my husband's request. He thought it was a hoot. I didn't like the few shows I watched, couldn't justify spending more time watching. Poor quality,repeating scenes in spots. Glad I didn't pay much for it.

Classics To Be Sure..........2007-06-09

...but temper your expectations. The movies in this collection have suffered the ravages of time. Many of the story lines are difficult to follow; there are missing segments that make watching these movies similar to listening to a record that skips with every full rotation. If you're looking for quality, look elsewhere. If you have a morbid curiosity about early anti-drug and temperance propoganda, look no further.

horrible quality of the physical discs.......2007-04-13

some great content here, and I didn't expect great video quality, but the DVDs themselves are in terrible shape, like they were just burned on a bad computer. Several titles skip and hang so badly they won't play at all. Too bad, as there's some great stuff I'd love to see on here!

On a 1 to 10 scale, this collection is rated: 4.8.......2007-04-09

MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT packages offer unusual (and often rare) cinema at bargain prices. In their box set CULT CLASSICS 20 MOVIE PACK, vice is nice (or so it seems). Topics of these films include drugs and alcohol (when booze was illegal), love for a price, and out-of-control teens. There's human oddities like little people and conjoined twins. In fact, for fans of the luridly bizarre this movie collection has a lot to offer.

Polling was done on these titles at a film website, and on a 1 to 10 scale the current average score for CULT CLASSICS is: 4.8.

The following alphabetzed list includes individual ratings, original titles (when necessary), years of release and principal actors.

(3.5) Chained For Life (1951) - Violet & Daisy Hilton (Siamese twins)

All Not Exploitation ,Some For Serious Social Change.......2007-01-22

I haven't viewed the entire set but so far the photography and sound are quite good and, in fact, excellent in Chained For Life and Child Bride. Chained For Life deals with actual Siamnese twin sisters who are wonderful singers/entertainers (in real life, too) in vaudeville. One is courted and exploited by another entertainer in the show much to the chagrin of the other twin. What eventually occurs is somewhat far-fetched but still possible. I won't ruin it but the twins are treated with dignity throughout the story which also features an actual very entertaining variety/vaudeville show. Child Bride concerns the dignity and rights of young pre-teen and teenage girls and, as the title denotes, a very serious social issue in the U.S.A. at one time. A teacher from the same mountain community (and in peril) advocates for a law forbidding this practice. There are also other conflicts within the mountain community, some quite ugly, but it's an interesting story, especially the unexpected ending/solution.

Let me axe you..........2007-07-30

The second edition of DIGITAL 1 STOP's horror 4 packs features the cinematic debut of a future directorial great and three other fairly common public domain fright flicks. The two most popular titles here both star Vincent Price. In "House..." Price is the host of a party at which he invites five guests to spend the night in a haunted house for a $10,000 reward. "Last Man..." has Price as the sole survivor of a world-wide plague. After dark, plague victims rise from their graves in search of blood... guess who's?

"The Phantom..." is a lame story about a radioactive rock on the ocean floor that causes a monstrous mutation, while "Dementia 13," is a gothic tale complete with an Irish castle and deranged axe murderer. Roger Corman funded and produced this AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL bloodfest which was Francis Ford Coppola's first legitimate job as director (he had made two skin flicks prior).

The VAULT OF HORROR 10 MOVIE PACK is a larger collection that includes werewolves, monsters and Jack the Ripper!

For this Price..........2006-01-23

This collection of four 50s/60s schlock films might be worth buying if you like watching movies that verge on being awful. If you have ever wandered how bad movies can be, here is a good selection of to find out. However, there are, sad to say, even worse movies than these.

"Horrors of Spider Island"

A couple is hiring a bunch of dancers to go to Singapore. After some mildly racy scenes at the beginning of the movie (as in you see some panties), everyone hops on a twin engine propeller plane to head for Singapore. Somewhere along the line the plane gets four engines, and then it crashes in flames. Miraculously, the dancers and the couple survive. The pilots, of course, conveniently died.

Everyone survives to reach an island where they quickly discover a professor in a giant spider web, which yields the original German title, "Ein Toter hing im Netz," which is, roughly translated, a dead one hung in the net. Sadly, that scene was probably one of the high points in the movie. Soon women are shedding clothes, but the only living male on the island wanders off to be attacked by a giant spider. The giant spider was probably mutated by the uranium that may have been on the island, which is what the professor was seeking. Remember that in the 50s and 60s radiation explained nearly everything.

The food starts to run out and things are looking grim when a couple of fellows show up. Then there is steamy romance, the spider guy appears again, there is some running around and screaming and yelling, spider guy kills a couple of people, the movie ends, and you wonder what the heck it was all about. This movie is just too bland and boring to be very interesting. The picture quality is also poor.

For those who like trivia, this movie has apparently been released under a variety of names according to imdb:

"Ein Toter Hing im Netz"
"A Corpse Hangs in the Web"
"Body in the Web"
"Girls of Spider Island"
"Horrors of Spider Island"
"It's Hot in Paradise"
"The Spider's Web"

"The Wasp Woman"

We see scenes of bees at the start of this movie, and then a scientist-looking character, Eric Zinthrop (Michael Mark), captures a wasp nest. The excitement is so intense you can just feel it. Our scientist is fooling around with wasps while he is supposed to be working on royal jelly. The scientist gets fired (duh!) and encounters Janice Starlin (Susan Cabot in her last movie role; apparently "Wasp Woman" was the kiss of death for her movie career), the aging head of a cosmetics company. When I say aging, I mean she is in her 40s. She is very attractive, but apparently insufficiently attractive to sell cosmetics. Mr. Zinthrop convinces Janice that he can make her young by making a guinea pig young.

Mr. Zinthrop is involved in an accident and ends up being stuck in bed. Janice decides to start taking shots of royal jelly a bit quicker than Mr. Zinthrop had been giving them to her. Janice gets young really quick, but occasionally she gains a black face, claws and a nasty buzz in her voice. When this occurs, she tends to kill people and eat them, which most people would likely consider a serious side effect of Mr. Zinthrop's shots.

I would like to tell you that there are redeeming characteristics to this movie, but unless you are a hard-core Roger Corman fan, you should probably avoid this movie. The movie waits too long for the wasp woman to show up. When she does show up, Corman made up for the cheesy costume by using out-of-focus photography and brief flashes of the wasp woman. The ending was unsatisfying also. The wasp woman put up a really poor fight. After the big husky guys she killed and ate, you would have thought she could have put up a bigger fight at the end. Oh well. Just remember, there are lots of other cheesy movies waiting for you to watch.

"Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet"/"Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women"

In 1965 Roger Corman and a small gang of others took a Soviet movie, added some scenes with Basil Rathbone and Faith Domergue, and created a reasonably serviceable science fiction movie title "Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet." There were some strange moments and a few funny moments, but the movie was a reasonably campy, low-budget science fiction film. Apparently someone (Corman perhaps) decided the movie was insufficiently schlocky and gave it one more shot.

In the original movie we see two groups of men wandering around Venus. The first group crashed and is trying to get rescued. The second group of men is trying to find the first group of men. As both groups wander around they encounter a cheesy looking reptilian bird, a deluge, and an erupting volcano. In the second movie Corman and director Peter Bogdanovich provide an explanation for these happenings; an explanation that probably would have been better left unexplained.

It turns out that there were a bunch of blond Barbie clones wandering the planet with telepathic powers and excessive chest development. These women, who spend a lot of time lying around with 60s-looking pants and shell tops, walk around acting like a coven of witches with too much makeup, false eyelashes, and too little in the way of prehistoric attributes. Mamie Van Doren, one of the three M's of the 50s and 60s (Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe included), is the leader of the Venusian blonde babes, who include a cluster of women who may have been so embarrassed by this movie that most of them never appeared in a film again.

Horrors of Spider Island

Garry's friends show real flare

This film has many original themes that are played out in the movies of today. For those that watched "Total Eclipse" you remember Damsel Washington sniffing hair from a concealed location. Yep Gary (Alexander d'Arcy was born as Alexander Sarruf in Kairo) did it first. You have seen peeking throw a bush or from a tree at skinny dippers well it is here also. How about things that bite in the night? Yep.
-----------------------
Gary is taking a dance troupe to Singapore. We get to see them audition. On the way the plane crashes in the ocean. Now it is just Garry and the women. They spot an island and setup house. We know they are not alone. It turns out to be a "radioactive" Island. Something is lurking in the bushes and waiting to bite. This something is not Garry; or is it?
---------------------
This movie is so well known and universal that it has many names:
Ein Toter hing im Netz (1960) [A Dead One Hung in the Net]
Body in the Web (1962)
A Corpse Hangs in the Web (1960)
Girls of Spider Island (1960)
Horrors of Spider Island (1965)
It's Hot in Paradise (1962)
The Spider's Web (1962)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Wasp Woman

Maintaining that wasp waist

Janice Starlin (Susan Cabot) head of a cosmetics company was told the she needs to stay young to promote the product. What can she do? Enter garage scientist Eric Zinthrop (Michael Mark) with a dubious formula made from wasp royal jelly. He explains that "just a little dab will do you." She gets greedy and shoots up with the extra strong stuff. This gives her a BUZZ and can have biting consequences.

Boogie boogie!.......2007-07-29

Based on cover art alone, the best picture here is "Dr. Jekyll..." The 1931 Rouben Mamoulian-directed version of this Robert Louis Stevenson story is definitely one of its best adaptations.

What's left of this set is rather pedestrian: "The Brain..." and "Killer Shrews" are both low-budget drive-in movie double feature material, while "Zombies" is a WWII era 'B' pic that was once advertised thusly: "HUMAN SACRIFICES! SAVAGE TORTURE! VOODOO RITES!"

One can only hope so....

Auntie Pasto and won tons.......2007-07-30

A miscast Boris Karloff highlights Volume 3 of HORROR CLASSICS 4 MOVIE PACK. "Fatal Hour" is one of a series of five short movies in which Karloff stiffly portrays an Oriental detective (James Lee Wong), doing so in his normal British accent. In this mystery story, Mr. Wong uncovers a smuggling ring and a murderer.

George Zucco, a British/American character actor, appears in two of the other films here. In "Dead Men..." he plays twins-- both are doctors. One is a Satan-worshipper who is killed by the other. The dead twin returns from the grave to seek revenge. "Mad Monster," has Zucco as a crazed scientist who changes men into ghastly beasts with blood transfusions.

For the final selection, the 1950s fad of macro-photography transforms an ordinary lizard into a gargantuan thing that threatens a small Texas town. Often, the highlight of such stinkbombs were their advertisng slogans. "Giant Gila..." is no exception: "ONLY HELL COULD BREED SUCH AN ENORMOUS BEAST. ONLY GOD COULD DESTROY IT!" (Yah... God and a teenaged boy, that is...)

To get a larger dose of old-timey monsters, try FRIGHT NIGHT. With this 10 pack, there's ghosts, haunted houses and castles, man/beasts and phantoms of all kinds!

Weird = "Cult".......2007-08-26

CULT CLASSICS COLLECTION consists of two silent features, another from the 1930s and an early-60s issue. All four have rightfully attained cult status over the years, for varying reasons.

SYNOPSES:

"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" - German Expressionist cinema at its finest and one of the greatest horror films ever made. The use of pioneering camera techniques, distorted buildings, an eerily atmospheric story and bizarre last reel plot twists make this one unforgettable! Hunchbacked Dr. Caligari's sleepwalker predicts deaths hours before they occur.

"Dementia 13" - Roger Corman's young assistant Francis Coppola was allowed to make this while he also worked on Corman's latest film. It's the story of a tragedy-plagued family living in a creepy old Irish castle.

"Nosferatu" - An unauthorized retelling of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Vampire Count Orlok makes victims of an unsuspecting realtor and his wife who are visiting the Count's creepy castle. (In the 1920s, Bram Stoker's heirs tried but failed to have all copies of Nosferatu seized and destroyed.)

"Reefer Madness" - For decades a staple of college film festivals, this strange film was meant to be an anti-marijuana message movie, but today plays like a very campy comedy. Learn the hazards that lay in wait for all "dope fiends."

CULT CLASSICS 20 MOVIE PACK is an excellent box set of some of the strangest cinema ever. See a Wild West town populated by little people, conjoined twins and other human oddities, plus just about every vice known to man.
