Released by: Vinegar Syndrome
Released on: September 26th, 2017.
Director: A.C. Stephens
Cast: Criswell, Fawn Silver, Pat Barrington, Nadejda Dobrev

The Movie:

This, one of the more notoriously awful films of Ed Wood's career, was actually directed by A.C. Stephens (the first of a few collaborations that would last between the two until Wood passed away in 1978). Orgy Of The Dead was written Ed Wood and based on his novel of the same name (published by Greenleaf Press and supposedly featuring an introduction from Forrest J. Ackerman?). It's more or less a ...

DVD And Blu-ray Reviews N-S

Released by: Well Go USA
Released on: September 12^th, 2017
Director: Don Coscarelli, David Hartman
Cast: Reggie Bannister, A. Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury, Angus Scrimm
Year: Various
Purchase From Amazon

The Movies:

The Phantasm movies are weird, even by horror movie standards. There’s just such a strange air of, well, weirdness to them that despite plenty of moments of black humor and quirky comedy, give the four films in the series so far a feeling of uneasiness and dread. Maybe it’s the Tall Man, maybe it’s the bizarre undead dwarfs that do his bidding, maybe it’s the sphere or maybe it’s Reggie ‘Balls In The Air, Dude!’ Bannister – it’s really hard to put your finger on it – but something about these films is just kind of creepy. Hot on the heels of their sold out Blu-ray collection, Well Go USA now reissues the five films in one handy-dandy DVD collection.

PHANTASM:

The film that started it all is still the strangest of the series thus far. When the film starts, we’re introduced to a down on his luck teenager named Mike (played by Michael Baldwin) who has recently lost his mother and father. Aside from his musically inclined older brother, Jody (Bill Thornbury), and their mutual friend, a guitar playing ice cream man named Reggie (played by Reggie Bannister), he’s more or less alone in the world and as such, he’s ...

Director: Kinji Fukasaku
Cast: Bunta Sugawara, Tomisaburo Wakayama, Nobuo Kaneki, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Sonny Chiba, Meiko Kaji
Year: 1974/1975/1976
Purchase From Amazon

The Movie:

Kinji Fukasaku's Battles Without Honor And Humanity five film series was a huge commercial success in its homeland. While Fukasaku never planned on continuing the series, Toei Studios talked him into coming back for another trilogy, resulting in the three New Battles Without Honor And Humanity series, once again with the inimitable Bunta Sugawara in the lead roles. The three films are not connected, though they do deal with some of the same themes and all take place in the underworld setting that you’d expect if you’re familiar with the original five movies.

Arrow Video now give these three vintage Yakuza films their official English ...
