    He Came From The Swamp: The William Grefé Collection – Movie Review:

    Arrow Video, in conjunction with Something Weird Video, gathers together a nice selection of Florida-based exploitation impresario William Grefé in one deluxe boxed set dubbed He Came From The Swamp: The William Grefé Collection. Here's what is inside…

    Sting Of Death/Death Curse Of Tartu:

    1966's Sting Of Death opens with a scene where a monstrous hand reaches for a screwdriver and destroys a radio before then heading to a dock and murdering a beautiful blonde woman lounging beside the water. The creature (some guy in a wet suit, flippers and some goop) drags her corpse through the water as the opening credits play out over top. From there, a group of people arrives at that very same dock and head into the house nearby. It turns out that this is the home of a Marine Biologist named Dr. Richardson (Jack Nagle) and his daughter Karen (Valerie Hawkins) has just returned from college for spring breaks with a few foxy friends in tow. Richardson's right hand man, the much younger Dr. John Hoyt (Joe Morrison), is also hanging around, as is a manservant named Egon (John Vella), a creepy guy with a droopy eye and some bad burns on his face.

    From there? It's party time! A bunch of guys from the nearby biology school are heading over to the beach to party with the girls. From here, a large group of cool kids jump, jive and wail to the sounds of Neil Sedaka's smash hit, ‘Do The Jellyfish.' At any rate, as all     ...
