You're welcome. I have just save you 84 minutes of your life.
This is, or course based on the book by H. Rider Haggard and was remade in 1965 by Hammer Films.
A man named Leo Vincey (Randolph Scott) arrives at his dying uncle's house and is told a strange story about a land his ancestor visited 500 years before, and that it might be the key to eternal life.
Vincey, after listening to his Uncle (Samuel S. Hinds) decides, along with a friend of his Uncle, Horace Holly (Nigel Bruce) to go in search of this strange land.
Along th way they pick up a young woman named Tanya Dugmore (Helen Mack) who is the daughter of a man whom the two men meet during their journey. His greed for gold causes an avalanche that kills everyone but Vincey, Holly and Dugmore.
The three make their way into a cave and from there they discover a strange underground kingdom ruled by "She, who must be obeyed" (Helen Gahagan).
She trie=s to convince Leo that he is her long lost love come back after 500 years and that he must bathe in the flame of eternal life like she has so they can forever be together.
Vincey has fallen for Tanya and he wants no part of She and her world of terror. This is a very well made film by the people who brought you "King Kong". Even several of the sets from that film are used, to great effect.
I liked this move and if you haven't seen it, don't be like me and wait over 50 years to watch it.

This color print looks ok, but it really needs a remaster. Three men are arrested and throw in jail. One of the men, Donald Lochlin (Paul Kelly) used to Captain a ship.
He and the other two men, Herrick (Rory Calhoun) and Huish (John Abbott) are released from jail in order to take a ship loaded with alchohol to it's intended destination.
Huish starts a fire on board the ship while drunk and that sets them behind schedule. Then they find that the cargo they are carrying is nothing but water and was intended to rip people off.
Also on this ship is a lovely woman named Faith (Rhonda Fleming). All of these people end up on an island ruled by a man named Attwater (Alan Napier) who has the local natives believing that he is a God, because he saved some of them from a disease.
Attwater has been sole ruler on the island for many years and he has slowly gone insane. When he has company he does not accept it too well and this all results in the death of both Huish and Capt. Lochlin.
Attwater meets his demise and only Herrick and Faith escape. This is an action/adventure film directed by Sam Newfield and from what I read it was filmed in 29 days, which was the longest schedule Newfield ever had.
It's not a bad film and of course, Fleming looks fantastic in color.
Absolute drivel that is best skipped. Even Julie Strain cannot save this junk.
A boring and tedious film that deserves no more discussion.
A young woman is assulted by men who steal her fathers home and land and then she gets mixed up in prostitution. Eva Arnaz does a good job with the role of the distressed young woman.
Barry Prima is a young man who takes her out of the brothal and marries her as he has known her since they were children. She gets some training in martial arts and then seeks to get revenge on the men who killed her parents and young brother as well as help others.
There is a LOT of action in this movie and believe it or not it moves along well, and the story held my attention. I really didn't go into this thinking it was going to be very good.
I enjoyed it and if you're a fan of the genre you might as well. The music choices for this film don't fit the action and during at least two fight scenes there is something resembling 60's and 70's country music playing!! It's a sight and sound to behold indeed.
Also, contrary to what I have read this is not re-dubbed with silly dialogue. I believe that was done to part one, but I have not seen that one yet.
The beautiful Charisma Carpenter stars as Michelle Mulan, a woman working for her fathers company. She is somewhat mousy and has a boring life with a daughter she cannot control.
One day she meets a younger man named Ryan Black (Bryce Draper) who seduces her and introduces her to a different life. That life consists of B&D and then S&M.
This causes Michelle some slight problems at work, but she does become the sex slave of Ryan....until she comes home one night and finds that he has her underage daughter tied to the bed.
Michelle takes things into her own hands and seeks Ryan out. We see that Michelle has been changed from a mousy woman to a take charge female who wastes no time in disposing of Ryan.
She then takes a portion of control away from her father in the company and manages to makes a 400 million dollar deal that actually saves the company, but in the final scene we know that Michelle will now always be a Dominatrix.
Carpenter does a very good job in this film and her range is indeed far. The other characters are not so well developed and the character of Ryan Black is so typical of films made during this period. He's young, cocky and brings nothing but disaster to everyone including himself. Those kind of characters I get tired of.
This really reminded me of the 90's when erotic thrillers were on HBO, Showtime and Cinemax in the late night hours. Carpenter has always been one of my favorite actresses as I have had a crush on her since her "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" days.
If you enjoy these kinds of movies, check it out. It's on streaming and the only DVD I could find is available in the Neatherlands!!

Once again we have William Spanner (Charles Soloman, Jr.) a good warlock who refuses to use his powers for evil and who is just trying to get his life in order as well as his lovelife.
Spanner is an attorney and he is defending a young man in a murder case. He meets a black minister named Rev. Jondulare (William Lewis Baker) who seems to know what Spanner really is.
Spanner runs into another Warlock, an evil one named Louis (Domonic Luciana) who sucks the lifeforce out of young women to keep himself and his girlfriend alive.
Louis wants Spanner's girlfriend Charlotte (Lisa Toothman) for his own, and this sets up a battle to the end for both warlocks. The movie kind of plods along until the final battle, but it did hold my interest.
This is, of course, the third in the series and from what I have read I am going to be in for a long spell of mundane films if I get to watch them all...lol.
I have to admit Lisa Toothman made this entire film for me. I find her very, very attractive. Watch this as your descretion.
Trachtenberg gained worldwide fame as Dawn Summers in 66 episodes of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer". She also had fame as Georgina Sparks in "Gossip Girl".
She had a few movie credits as well including the 2006 remake of "Black Christmas".
Michelle Trachtenberg passed away on February 26, 2025 at the very young age of 39 from complications following a liver transplant.
I have heard about this movie for years and finally took the plunge to watch it. I found it to be ok, for what it is.
The filmmakers couldn't make up their minds as to what the movie was about, or so that's what it appears to me. In the first five minutes we hear a radio bulletin about a crazy woman named Daphne who has escaped from a state mental in California.
Then the story switches to four guys heading for Yuma Arizona who see a sexy blonde hitchhiking. They pick her up and one of the men named Charlie Johnson (Anthony Holt) decides to rape her at a secluded cabin.
The woman named Cindy (Laurie Tait Partridge) files charges and the next hour of the film is all aboout the effects it has on the four men and their attorneys' fighting for each of them. It runs like a made for TV film.
I haven't read much good about this, but I didn't mind it at all. Daphne's revenge takes place in the final minutes of the film and all is explained towards the end as well, so it all falls into place.
I can tell you that this was made in about 1977 based on the clothes, women's hair and cars. I was around back then and remember it all very well.
The presentation on the Blu-ray is beautiful. Again, I liked this movie better than most and I haven't given away too much as I want more people to see this movie and decide for themselves.
The rest of the cast includes Richard Gardner, Candy Castillo, and James Avery.
This is the first one and it's a no frills horror film with no nudity. I mention this because as the sequels progressed, the nudity factor went way up.
This is more of a low budget "Rosemary's Baby" than anything else. A young woman named Grace (Anat Topal) gives birth and her husband John (Gary Sloan) takes her and the child to live with his mother Elizabeth (Mary Shelley) until she is strong enough to return home.
The birth was a difficult one and Grace is still a little weak. Grave has a good friend named Linda (Deborah Scott) who visits her regularly. Soon Grace begins to suspect something is wrong as it seems that John and his mother ar closer than she thinks they should be.
Turns out that both of them are revived witches and they used Grace as a vehicle for having a baby. John and Elizabeth were actually man and wife many years ago and were burned at the stake for practicing witchcraft.
I first saw this many, many years ago on VHS and didn't like it too well. After all these years, I liked it a bit better, but I do have to admit it lacks a lot of character.
The best part of the move is when Deborah Scott is on screen. You might want to check this out if you're a horror fan. It's not the best, but it's not anywhere near the worst either.
You may not know her by name, but anyone here will know her from some of her film and TV shows.
Sturgess appeard in TV shows such as "Studio 57", "The Millionaire", "Perry Mason", Panic", "Thriller" and "The Rebel".
Some of her wonderful movies include "Kettles In The Ozarks", and her most well known role among genre fans as the daughter of Vincent Price's character in Roger Corman's "The Raven".
Olive Sturgess passed away on February 19, 2025 at the age of 91.
Now this was something very different, but not different at all...if that makes sense. The movie opens with man played by Kevin Sorbo sitting in a small coffee shop taking to a gorgeous young woman named Julia (Valerie Azlynn) that he has met online.
She gets up and leaves abruptly but we hear her tell her sister on the phone that she likes him. Before you can blink an eye the man kidnaps Julia and takes her to an abandoned warehouse. He intends on tortuing her and then killing her as he is a serial killer known as "The Branding Killer" since he brands his victims.
Julia escapes several times before he ties her in the back of a pickup truck and then brands her with an X. As he attempts to bury the body of another woman and Julia she escapes again and after much abuse she manages to subdue the man by knocking him out. Her sister, Jessica (Alicia Leigh Willis) arrives and they throw the man into the trunk of a car.
At this point the movie makes a 180 turn as we discover that these two beautiful young woman are themselves killers who kill every man they meet, especially those they meet online.
The movie gets really wild and bloody as they torture the man who is never given a name during the movie and the last 30 minutes are like nothing I have seen in a long time in a movie.
The ending will probably not surprise you, but it does work very well. I am a huge fan of 70's music and now, after watching this I will always think of this movie when I hear the sone "Close To You" by The Carpenters...lol.
I would recommend this movie for horror fans who like their horror with very, very black comedy. The two lead women are incredibly sexy.
Roberta Flack was one of the greatest singers in the world and I grew up on her great music.
She first came into the public eye with the song "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" which was featured in the Clint Eastwood movie "Play Misty For Me".
Her other great hits include "Killing Me Softly With His Song", "Where Is The Love", "The Closer I Get To You" and many more. Another one from the soundtrack of my life has been silenced, but the music lives on forever.
Roberta Flack passed away on February 24, 2025, just 14 days after her 88th birthday.
Eli Rich stars as Steve Belmont, a Sunday School Teacher and security guard who is not what he seems.
We find out very soon her is a psycho killer who gets off on killing young women. Belmont is also a heavy drinker and unable to keep a job. He uses his masterful lying to get people to believe he is normal.
As the murders start to pile up, Steve falls for a young woman he meets at church and is even promoted to a Psychologist position within the church!!
The woman he falls for is beautiful Cheryl played by Rochelle Taylor, and she is no fool. After a very short time she knows something is very wrong with Belmont, and she proves to be his undoing and she gives him exactly what he deserves.
I found this to be a very entertaining little movie, but it seems to be panned by most people. I thought everything was handled very well with Rich doing a good job at playing the psycho.
If you get a chance to see this, I suggest you give it a try. You could do a lot worse.
This is a by the numbers erotic thriller about a man who is released from a mental hospital after he attempted to kill the woman he was with because...well he is crazy.
The movie opens with a convict in jail telling a story. The convict is Sean (Josh Holloway) and he has some real anger and hate issues. An attorney named Phil Cross (Jeff Fahey) has been called in by Sean's father to get him out of jail.
Cross manages to pull this off and Sean is once again out and a free man. Meanwhile Cross is very cold to his beautiful wife Linda (Nastassja Kinski).
Sean manages to get a job where Linda works and he seduces her because Sean works on married, unhappy women. Linda tells Sean it was a mistake and that they cannot be together. Sean goes into a rage and seeks revenge on Linda.
There are a lot of twists nand turns in this film, and I won't spoil the ending by saying anything more about what goes on. The movie moves along at a good clip and I noticed that it gets a lot of negative press. It's no worse than any other movie like it.
The best part of the film however is Kinski. She is in her prime here and as beautiful of a woman as has ever graced the silver screen. I watched this because I saw she was in it. I liked it.
Armitage took on many different duties in the film business. A multi-talented man who wrote such films as "Vigilante Force", "Darktown Strutters", "Night Call Nurses" and "Private Duty Nurses".
He produced "Private Duty Nurses" and "Gas" for Roger Corman and directed several films such as the aforementioned "Private Duty Nurses", "Vigilante Force", "Hit Man" and "Grosse Pointe Blank".
George Armitage passed away on February 15, 2025 at the age of 82.
It's only 46 minutes long and while it's an ok horror film, I just found a lot of things I didn't care for.
A young woman named Natalie (Brandy Dawley) finds an old nautical phone washed up on the shore of a lake and decides to take it home. She cleans it up and sets it on a desk. She shuld never have kept it.
Before long she is receiving calls from someone that makes no sense, and she is also haunted by a cloaked figure that seems to be slowly stalking her.
Natalie stars to lose her grip on reality and things get out of control until she ends up murdering a friend of hers tinking it was all a dream.
The ending has been done many times before, and while it's not original, it's not too bad. This is a SOV film and it looks well done, and the effects are as good as one would expect.
If you're a fan of "homegrown" SOV low budget films, I would suggest you check this out.
