The Cult Horror Colection – 3DVD SET! – The Skull, The Man Who Could Cheat Death, & The Deadly Bees
The Deadly Bees An ailing starlet is sent to a remote island to recover and little does she know that she is about to stumble into…a Hive of Horror! A diabolical neighbor has discovered the smell of fear and is using it to control a lethal swarm! Featuring over the top performances and very “special” effects, The Deadly Bees is late night drive-in fare at its campy best.
The Man Who Could Cheat DeathDr. Georges Bonnet has figured out a way to live forever. All he needs are the glands of some very unwilling donors! Anton Diffring stars as the mad doctor in this chilling Hammer Horror classic. As he struggles against the inevitable icy grip of death, the doctor begins a descent into madness that threatens to destroy the laws of nature and the lives of those he lusts after. It’s up to horror legend Christopher Lee to stop his unholy quest before it takes a final deadly turn!
The Skull The Skull teams up horror legends Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in a chilling, supernatural tale of murder from beyond the grave. Based on a short story by Robert Bloch (Psycho), The Skull introduces us to Dr. Christopher Maitland (Cushing), a collector of the occult. When he is given the opportunity to purchase one of the infamous Marquis de Sade, he leaps at the chance. What he doesn’t know is that his friend, Matthew Phillips (Lee) is the former owner of the skull – and quite happy to be rid of it. Possession of The Skull leads to a terrifying series of nightmarish events for Dr. Maitland as he tries to keep control of his life, and as the forces of unspeakable evil bear down upon him.

Unseen by the killer, Carly tells investigator Jack Brannigan (Alex Carter, The Island) that Chester Winnifield (Corbin Bernsen, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), a hot TV personality known as “Professor Passion,” shot the couple. When the smooth-talking Winnifield reveals a convincing alibi, it’s Carly who’s in hot water, and Brannigan who must determine who’s telling the truth.

The Final
The Final
Dane, an awkward student with a deadly vendetta, leads a group of outcasts who plot to avenge the years of humiliation they faced from the popular students at Hohn High School. The outcasts turn the tables on the popular students who made sport of them and prepare for a single night that will leave their tormentors scarred for life.Eight new independent visions of terror await genre fans with the fourth go-round of the annual After Dark Horrorfest series. As devotees have discovered from past festivals, the Horrorfest lineup is usually hit or miss, with at least one standout and a few genuine dogs. The 2010 edition is no exception: depending on your taste for terror, the highlight will either be Dread, a fairly harrowing if thinly dramatized take on producer Clive Barker’s short story about a college project about fear going terribly awry, or Lake Mungo, a bloodless but genuinely chilling ghost story done in a convincing documentary format. Norway’s Hidden also eschews gore for atmosphere; its glacial pace may put off some viewers, but the patient will find subtle scares in its tale of a troubled homecoming overshadowed by murders. If it’s body counts you’re looking for, Kill Theory and The Final have them in spades–you’ll just have to put up with heavy-handed proselytizing in the former (and some truly ugly scenes) and shopworn characters in the latter. Overly familiar plotting and personas also undo the UK import The Reeds, a sluggish thriller that pits boaters against killer strays, and Zombies of Mass Destruction, a broad political comedy that takes potshots at lame-duck conservative targets. Of course, for some, the horror movie is pure popcorn material, best enjoyed at top volume with the rowdiest of audiences, and comic book writer-creator Brian (Evil Ernie) Pulido’s debut feature The Graves delivers exactly that in its B-movie bouillabaisse of nubile heroines, crazed killers (among them Bill Moseley of The Devil’s Rejects and Candyman‘s Tony Todd), and cursed towns.
Extras are fairly light throughout the set: a smattering of discs offer deleted or alternate scenes, while others offer nothing at all. Ironically, the two weakest films (The Final and The Graves) have the most supplemental features, including not one but two commentary tracks for The Graves. Clive Barker fans might find some nuggets of interest in his conversation with Dread director Anthony DiBlasi on that disc. –Paul Gaita

The hostility between father and son is obvious, and with time, so is the pulsating chemistry between Elizabeth and Richard. An unexpected visit from Jillian, who shares a steamy past with Richard, reveals layers of deceit and lies surrounding Alycia’s death. But, no matter how incriminating evidence is for Richard, Elizabeth just can’t pull herself away from the intoxicating gaze of his eyes…the eyes of a possible killer.
THE AWAKENING
Sara (Cynthia Geary, TV’s Northern Exposure), a by-the-books, hard-working woman who runs a boarding house, finds her dull existence kicked into high gear when she collides with Flynn (David Beecroft, TV’s Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman), one of the nation’s top–and most handsome–Private Investigators. Searching for one of Sara’s tenants, a suspected antiquities smuggler, Flynn is hot on his trail–and has no interest in Sara tagging along. But when Sara proves herself valuable to the investigation, the two embark on a cross-country adventure full of espionage, role playing, and plenty of heated romance. Along the way, Sara rediscovers her true, passionate self that she never knew existed. Co-starring Sheila McCarthy.

Beauty And The Beast (Two-Disc Diamond Edition)
Beauty And The Beast (Two-Disc Diamond Edition)
The film that officially signaled Disney’s animation renaissance (following The Little Mermaid) and the only animated feature to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination, Beauty and the Beast remains the yardstick by which all other animated films should be measured. It relates the story of Belle, a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father; when he inadvertently offends the Beast (a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself), Belle boldly takes her father’s place, imprisoned in the Beast’s gloomy mansion. Naturally, Belle teaches the Beast to love. What makes this such a dazzler, besides the amazingly accomplished animation and the winning coterie of supporting characters (the Beast’s mansion is overrun by quipping, dancing household items) is the array of beautiful and hilarious songs by composer Alan Menken and the late, lamented lyricist Howard Ashman. (The title song won the 1991 Best Song Oscar, and Menken’s score scored a trophy as well.) The downright funniest song is “Gaston,” a lout’s paean to himself (including the immortal line, “I use antlers in all of my de-co-ra-ting”). “Be Our Guest” is transformed into an inspired Busby Berkeley homage. Since Ashman’s passing, animated musicals haven’t quite reached the same exhilarating level of wit, sophistication, and pure joy. –David Kronke –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A Piece of the Action
A Piece of the Action
A pair of con men are obliged to help a social worker set some kids on the right track.The last, and least, film in the so-called Uptown trilogy, this 1977 buddy comedy is preachier than its more rollicking predecessors, Uptown Saturday Night and Let’s Do It Again. It begins like The Sting, but then veers into To Sir, with Love territory, as Dave (Bill Cosby), a safecracker, and Manny (Sidney Poitier), a con man, are blackmailed by a retired detective (James Earl Jones, who would achieve pop-culture immortality that year as the voice of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars) to work at a community-improvement center and inspire the delinquent youth to respect themselves and find jobs. An answer to the violent and militant blaxploitation films of the period, these films, each directed by Poitier, were the Barbershop of their day. Poitier and Cosby are a seamless team; their ease, charm, and integrity carry the film’s more plodding patches, as does Curtis Mayfield’s authentic score. Fans of these icons will want to get a piece of this action. –Donald Liebenson

Return to Horror High [VHS] Reviews
Return to Horror High [VHS]
Return to Horror High is a convoluted cheesefest that tries to be spoof and horror movie at the same time, feebly prefiguring Scream. A movie crew is filming a slasher picture at a high school where a series of murders actually occurred; the killings begin again–or are they simply staged for the production? The answer to this question is distinctly uninvolving, but it involves a lot of fake blood. Familiar faces include Vince Edwards and Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick (a uniformed cop), plus–until he becomes the first victim–George Clooney. –Robert Horton
