For lovers of movies from the silent era to modern day with an emphasis on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, WIP, westerns and anything of the fantastic and bizarre. This is also for people who like 70's and 80's music and a little pro wrestling thrown in for good measure. THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO BOB WILKINS, GEORGE ROMERO, ALAN FREED ,ROGER CORMAN, CARMEN ELECTRA, VELVET SKY, CAROLINE MUNRO and, of course, CASEY KASEM.
A man conducts experiments on himself that don't go as planned and it turns him into a lizard monster that must feed on human corpses.
The monster is seen briefly at the end and it does look pretty cool. It reminds me of a Blood Island movie. The plot is sometimes very confusing and it is all over the place, but it is interesting if you stick with it. Recommended Euro horror, but not for everyone.
The crew of an interstellar spaceship is sent to get a valuable crystal. The female robot is played by Stratten, whose life was cut short at the age of 20 by a violent and crazy boyfriend.
The director also helmed "The Incredible Melting Man". The comedy is sometimes strained, but Avery Schreiber as capt. Cornelius Butt is sometimes very, very funny.
Stratten looks great plays her part well. There is a good "Alien" spoof and some interesting life forms such as a rock eating prisoner and an alien that Capt. Butt coughs up and it thinks he is it's mother.
Linda Blair stars as a young woman thrown into a corrupt women's prison run by John Vernon, a warden who has a hot tub in his office. Stella Stevens is the police Captain who will resort even to murder to save her skin and Sexy as hell Sybil Danning is Ericka, one of the toughest bitches ever to be in prison.
This movie features plenty of nudity, abuse of women and sexual escapades to keep even the most jaded viewer happy. In other words, this film has it all. Danning looks fantastic, Blair is sexy, especially in her nude shower scene and we even have Tamara Dobson as another inmate who wants to kill Danning.
The superb cast is rounded out with Henry Silva, Nita Talbot, Louisa Moritz and Jody Medford. Panik brings us the uncut 98 minute version that has never been released in the US and it's a beautiful widescreen print to boot. Very Highly Recommended!!
A Soviet space station particle crashes into a New York Subway and soon the city is over run with deadly giant spiders. The Government tries to cover it up of course and the eggheads want to keep some of the spiders alive.
If you have a fear of spiders you may not like this film, but for all others this is recommended. I hate spiders myself but love movies like this and other films that follow a similar theme. Patrick Muldoon is a subway director caugfht in the middle of the spider invasion as he tries to save his wife and child from both the spiders and the military.
The spider effects are well done and this film will not disappoint horror film fans.
Edmond O' Brien is Marty "Fats" Murdock, a gangster who hires an agent played by Tom Ewell to make his blonde girl friend into a singer. Her name is Jerri Jordan and Mansfield plays the part perfectly. Her sex appeal is stunning and there is simply no way anyone can resist her.
Ewell is Tom Miller a down and out agent who begins to fall in love with his client after he is told by her that all she wants is to be married and have kids. Frank Tashlin directed this classic and some of the rock and roll stars in the film are the best there ever was including Little Richard, Fats Domino, Nino Tempo, Ray Anthony, The Platters, the ever gorgeous Julie London and Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps singing "Be Bop A Lula".
This film is really one of the most enjoyable films ever and music from the 50's makes it even that much better. Highly Recommended!!
I first saw this on TV when I was about 7 years of age on a double feature with The Wolfman and it has always stuck with me, and over the years become a favorite of mine. I do need to thank Greg Luce at Sinister for making this one available.
Anthony Dexter is one of several astronauts that land on the 13th moon of Jupiter and find it inhabited by one elderly man, a bizarre looking fire monster and a bevy of beautiful women. The women are attracted to the men and vice versa of course, and together they try and fight off the monster and make for a better world for the women.
The special effects are stolen from King Dinosaur and the acting leaves a lot to be desired, but this is nothing but fun if you are undemanding in your movie viewing. Interesting to note that the gorgeous Kim Parker from "Fiend Without A Face" has small role as a secretary to an astronomer.
Good 50's fun.
Notorius adult film maker Armand Weston made this very effective horror thriller starring Robin Groves as a young lady with Agoraphobia who goes to a country home to try and get away from everything. She soon find the place in haunted with the ghosts of murdered prostitutes.
Gloria Grahame, in her final film role plays the ghost of a Madame of the house. Lots of gory deaths and scary stuff goes on and Groves starts to think she is losing her mind.
John Carradine is an old man who knows the secret of the house. A huge thanks to Blue Underground for finally bringing this forgotten film to VD so horror fans can see what good movie making is. Recommended!!
Third and final film dealing with the Delambre curse. Brian Donlevy stars as Henri Delambre who is still conducting matter transmitter experiments and this time he creates mutants that must be kept locked up.
Gorgeous Carole Gray is a young woman who escapes from a mental hospital and falls in love with one of the Delambre clan and marries him. Her nightmare is only beginning. This film is also in black and white, but who cares, this is classic entertainment. Who can hate a movie where the opening credits are played over the scene of Carole Gray escaping from the hospital in her bra and panties??
Lots of cool monsters and twisted bizarre images make this a winner for horror fans. I highly recommend this effort which also stars Burt Kwouk, George Baker and Yvette Rees.
This film had a much smaller budget than the original, which is strange and it was also filmed in black and white while the original was in color. These are two small points that in no way hinder the film, it's just a film world oddity.
Brett Halsey stars as the son of the original scientist who charges ahead with his fathers experiments. Vincent Price is back as his Uncle and he tries to talk Halsey out of it. In this film it isn't a scientific accident that brings about another monster, it's espionage. Halsey's partner in his experiments is actually a spy trying to steal the project. He attacks Halsey and throws him into the matter transmitter and deliberately throws a fly in the works as well.
The fly monster is much larger in stature than in the original film an the effects aren't as good, of course, but it is effective as the monster hunts down the men who created him and kills them one by one. This is a good bet for monster movie fans.
David Hedison stars as Andre Delambre, a scientist who has discovered a way to transmit matter from one place to another. That's the good news, the bad news is that when he tries it on himself a common housefly gets into the machinery with him and he is turned into a monster.
Patricia Owens is his wife Helene and Vincent Price is his brother. This movie contains one of the best scenes in horror history when Owens thinks that her husband is back to normal and takes off the covering he has over his head only to discover he still has the head of a fly.
Great make-up effects and excellent acting made this a huge money maker for Fox back in 1958, and the story and movie still hold up very well today. The scene in the spiers web with the small fly with the human head and arm screaming for help will always stay with my collective conscience. If you haven't ever seen this film I recommend you do, and soon.
