BodyBags.........2007-04-11

Dear Readers and soon to purchase this DVD customer..

I'm really let down when I pop in the DVD into my DVD player. I was so eager waiting the arrival of this DVD at my home. The cover or the packaging is just like the normal of the others DVDs..

The whole let down of this movie is because there "ARE" "A LOT" of scenes has been deleted or edited.. Thumbs down... I still prefer the LD "Laser Disc" version where the sound and image quality is more superb than this DVD. If anyone just want to get hold of this DVD I'll recommend to purchase it but don't put so much hope on it..Like I did...

The dvd comes in three short movie..first the Gas Station...if without the deleted scenes you can expect more GOre.. secondly is the Hair.. which is my favourite...then lastly is the "the eye".. my dad's fav. Check it out yourself..

this one is a fun movie .......2007-02-14

I remember when I first saw this one, John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper actually rocked on this one. Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame played in one of the segments though I did have a lot of reserves about him as a horror actor. It came to show he was much better of an actor in the horror genre than he was with science fiction, not knocking Star Wars but I've seen him in another Carpenter remake that also was good. The one I liked with him was the one about the eye being of sin, I am not giving the plot completely away now am I? But with that being said -- that was the most fun I've seen in a horror film. It was a TV movie I think, and when I've seen it my parents did have Showtime at the time they showed it.

"Body Bags" is three different horror stories in one, all told by "the Coroner" who works at a morgue. (and is played by John Carpenter himself) Basically, think of a cheaper version of "Tales from the Crypt." I don't want to sound accusatory, but there's no getting around the similarities. Half-decomposed being telling us horror stories and all with a dark sense of humor about it - considering this movie came out in 1993 and "Tales from the Crypt" first came on TV in 1989, its not difficult to assume there was at least some inspiration involved.

The first story is involves a girl's first night working at a gas station. Things are all right at first, but eventually things turn ugly - and I do mean ugly. The second story is more tongue-in-cheek, reminding me a lot of John Carpenter's more light-hearted work, and involves a balding man looking into a brand new hair growth formula. The final story involves a baseball player who receives an eye transplant and discovers it used to belong to a serial killer.

"Body Bags" starts out strong, but gets significantly weaker as the movie progresses. The first story was fantastic, setting the mood and keeping the audience hooked from start to finish - any one who has had a job entailing them to work alone will know how the girl feels. I also admit that (unlike other reviewers) I enjoyed the second story, and thought it took a humorous turn at the end. Besides, gotta love David Warner's line on the television commercial. ("Remember: it not only helped me grow my hair, I bought the company.") What I think could have helped the second story stand out more was if the last segment was a bit stronger. All it is in the end is the basic, "Oh no my [insert body part] used to belong to [insert killer name]!" I think it could have been a stronger story if a different route had been taken, like perhaps the victims' spirits were coming back thinking he was the killer. I kept watching it hoping something original would develop, only to find all my predictions come true.

I would watch it for some minor amusement. It's not a classic, but it's a decent lazy watch.

John Carpenter's Body Bags in a series of 3 stories all told by "The Coroner" played by of course John Carpenter (Escape From L.A and New York). First segment is called "The Gas Station" which is the shortest, where a young woman, played by Alex Dratcher (Passenger 57, Scorcher) who starts a new job at the gas station. She is actually going to school for pyschology. She soon becomes a little paranoid on the job and eventually when the night is over it becomes a little bloody. Robert Carradine (Revenge of the Nerds), David Naughton (An American Werewolf In Paris), Wes Craven (Scream Trilogy), Peter Jason (They Live, Red Heat) and Sam Raimi (Evil Dead movies) also star in that segment. The second segment is called "Hair" which is the stupidest one out of the whole bunch which stars Stacy Keach (Escape from LA, Up In Smoke) who plays Richard, a man who doesnt want to be bald. So he goes to doctor David Warner (Titanic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2) who gives him the stuff to grow his hair back but after Richard gets his hippie hair, things dont seem right. Deborah Harry (BLONDIE) and Sheena Easton (Real Ghosts, Tek War) also star in that segment. The third and final segment called "Eye" which is the best one out of all three and the longest too about baseball player Mark Hammill (Star Wars, The Guyver) who gets in a horrible car accent and eventually loses his eye. Doctors implant him with a brand new eye but what Hamill soon finds out is that the eye itself was the former owner of a sick and murdering individual. Twiggy Lawson (Twiggy, Woundings), Roger Corman (its Roger frickin' Corman people know what hes done) and Charlie Napier (Austin Powers) also star in that segment. "The Mourge" segment also has Tom Arnold (Roseanne) and Tobe Hooper (Funhouse, Texas Chainsaw Massacre) in it as well. Some of the acting and script is very cheesy. Carpenter as the corpse like "Coroner" doesnt do anything original with it because it's bascially we've seen that in Tales From The Crypt and what not. So-so fun is had here.
