Stranglers in the Night----Tony Curtis Shines in this Fiction-Thriller.
(This was the best satirical comedy,i think i've ever seen yet.)Well,Tony was looking for a different type of film ,that would bring out the best he had to offer as an actor.His previous film,'Don't Make Waves',co-starring Sharon Tate,bombed at the box office.This Strangler film was a vastly different genre film,that his fans and public viewers,had difficulty accepting.Eventhough the story-line ...

An ultra-naughty Misty Mundae performance
Silk Stocking Sadist, a Factory 2000 production better known as Silk Stocking Strangler, stars the incomparable, gorgeous Misty Mundae and fellow After Hours Cinema starlet Katie Jordan in a film that goes beyond eroticism and kinkiness into a world that some viewers, even Misty fans, may find uncomfortable to watch. You expect the whole girl-girl thing with Katie and Misty (and it really ...

Don't Answer the Phone! - The Uncut Version

Bci / Eclipse, 2006

Starting a Genre
This movie is about a man who can kill from training but must kill, and does. Two somewhat inept police detectives track the killer and well...go watch it. But it's not plot driven, it's character driven. It's the rawness, the grittiness of Los Angeles in the 70s. The locations are real. There are no sound stages (nor permits when it was filmed) and if you see a drug dealer or drug user in ...

Tartan Video, 2004

Grim, downbeat...you get the idea
The sordid tale of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, the killing cousins who strangled their way to infamy in 1970s Los Angeles, finally made its way to the big screen (or at least straight to DVD) with director Chuck Parello's 2004 film "The Hillside Strangler". The movie absolutely oozes evil out of every pore, which is just as well considering its grimy subject matter. Bianchi and Buono would ...

Factory 2000, 2008

The Chelsea Show
Although notable for being the first film to feature Misty Mundae (she's credited in the opening titles as Lil' Erin DeWright), her sister, Chelsea (a.k.a. Daisy DeWright), is the star of this sleazy exploitation sensation from Factory 2000. Filmed in 1997 and issued on VHS in 1998, this is the first time that this movie has been presented on DVD. According to the accompanying liner notes, the ...

Factory 2000, 2008

Revamped
So, the fabled `Vampire Strangler' gets the special edition treatment. For those who don't know, this is softcore superstar, Misty Mundae's only "hardcore" film. However, be warned: if you are not a Misty Mundae fan, this film will not interest you in the slightest. If you are looking for a good hardcore movie, again, you need to look elsewhere: this is not a film that you will want to buy on a ...

David Faustino, Andrew Divoff

Weinstein Company, 2008

Nice little atmospheric ghost story
To appreciate this movie, we need to remember that, before the era of the Muliplex and cable TV, people expected to see two movies at most theaters, the "double feature." (You could also walk in on the middle of a film, but that's another issue.) As a result, there was a whole industry of B-movies, to give the moviegoers a bit more for their money, and every now and then, the B-movie gave you ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

Where it all began
When the first Kolchak movie premired on ABC Tuesday night movies in 1973 over 70 million people tuned in. No show today can come anywhere near those numbers. An interesting story, though the first film comes damned close to plagerising Leslie H. Whitten's 1965 novel PROGENY OF THE ADDER. (The lead in the book is a police detective. The scene with the used car dealer is exactly the same. ...

Teenage Gang Debs / Teen-Age Strangler

Bill Bloom, John Ensign (II)

Image Entertainment, 2001

A Great Package of '60s Teen Delinquency!
This is a real winner from Something Weird Video. The first feature, "Teenage Gang Debs" amounts to a black and white handheld camera teen gang shockumentary. A new chick comes to town, and is soon the top Deb by merit of catfights and pure evil. Switchblades, violent attacks, motorbikes, and bad teens run rampant. Curiously, the film's documentary styling makes it a classic curio worthy of study ...

Excellent transfer in proper ratios
Behind the cheap cover artwork (and no front reference to Hammer), this Columbia/Sony collection of 4 movies is great ! Excellent anamorphic transfer, in proper ratios and interesting commentaries.

Capitol, 2003

A TREAT FOR STRANGLERS FANS
Considering that these videos are from 1977-1982, they are really WAY above average for that time. In fact, there are only two dull videos in the bunch - No More Heroes, which is just flashes of news clippings, and Nuclear Device, which is rather silly. The rest are very good to great. The best treat is seeing Hugh Cornwell and JJ Burnell looking SO COOL!!! The sound quality is really good ...

Mvd Visual, 2005

Great video, but too short
The footage in this DVD is from the "good" time period of the band when they had a more punk edge. The footage is pretty good (if you're familiar with Target Video releases you know what to expect) with little cheesy effects thrown in that I could have done with out. The sound quality is pretty good. It's an awsome video, the only real complaint I have is that it's too short.

dont miss this one
I rented this movie, and it's one of the interesting films of the genre. How can you give this movie a low rating? It has good acting, plot, and even some good lookin chicks. Take it from me, it's well worth the couple of bucks it's going for.

A genius filmmaker
Perhaps nothing in this world compares to the individual who lacks talent, even the basic movie making skills, and despitde his liabilities manages to actually create a legendary film. These rare indiviuals, through tenacity or insanity, effectively rises above that forgettable level of total mediocrity to rise to the highest ranks of thos who have earned a name in the film industry.
