Waste of time.......2003-06-27

The only thing scary about this movie is the time i took to watch it.My grandma watch's better soap operas on tv.

Vampires aren't the only ones who drink blood.......2003-06-04

A beautiful-looking but disturbing film about a dark fetish.

A young woman is looking for a room to rent and finds one for a low price. After moving in, her landlord, who looks like Deneuve in The Hunger, tells her that she likes to drink blood on occasion and it is simpler if she drinks that of her tenant. It is not required and she will not be forced, but it is simpler.

The tenant is immediately turned off by the idea, but is has been planted in her psyche. While exploring the house she finds a small shrine and the razor blade used for letting blood. The idea is no longer as bad as before.

Eventually she gives her OK and is cut and drunk from. She feels a closeness she has not felt before. She enjoys the feeling that she is needed. Unfortunately she gets hooked. Now she begins to pressure her landlord into drinking more.

The psycho drama continues until the tenant becomes a drinker as well as the two feast off of the landlords semi-boyfriend. Now both woman are looking for a donor and we get a cameo by Julie Strain.

Dark and beautiful, but many will find the subject disturbing in is portrayal and believability.

Morbid Deep Sensual Experience!.......2002-12-20

I honestly have to defend this movie! I admit the acting wasn't the best in the world but i found it very interesting. It takes you to a place were most films dare to go. These two women were not real vampires the were two women that had a blood fetish. Celia is looking for a place to live but she got a little something extra! Premise of story Celia moves in, Whitney lets her know that in order to live there she has to let her suck on her. Celia mulls this decision over and decides, Well?What the Hell! Celia gets addicted and obcessed with Whitney after the blood drinking and a sexual encounter with her. Celia gets jealous of the boyfriend because she feels he is coming between her and Whitney. Celia goes on a rampage to reclaim Whitney from him. Basically that is the Premise of the story...by the way Celia (Played by Leslie Danon)is an extremley sexy/gorgious female a plus for the film! The music in the film is excellent,there is a song by Acid Reign called "Restore" That is very reminisent to some of Tricky's earlier work. Also the lesbian scene is very nicely filmed...Well worth the purchase!The acting would put you in the mind of a David Lynch movie..there is alot of nonchalantness going on. I am not a blood drinker but something turned me on about this movie!

Don't waste your time.......2002-12-09

This movie has no plot, poor acting, and is not a true vampire film. It's just a couple girl roomates who have a blood fetish, cut each other with razors, and drink blood from each other. This movie is a complete waste of time unless you too have a blood fetish and enjoy watching people drink from each other.

Dull, not at all scary.......2001-04-18

Movie about mentally messed up women, not horror. Unpleasant ending, all women end up looking bad. Painful to watch at times. Waste of money.

Underwhelmed.......2004-11-03

I bought this DVD because I was thrilled with Something Weird's double feature disc of "The Ghastly Ones" and "Seeds." Well, Video Kart is no Something Weird! I don't mind that the transfer looks like hell, because the original films looked like hell and that was part of their charm. What bothers me is the weird, incomprehensible post-production tinkering on the part of Video Kart to change the films. During a few sequences in "Bloodthirsty Butchers," there are some conspicuous, newly added slow-mo effects put into the film. It doesn't exactly ruin the movie, but why - when promoting "uncut" and "unadulterated" presentations of Andy Milligan's films - would someone decide, "Oh yeah, this sequence would look so much better if we goosed it up a bit with slo-mo effects." You know what? People get irritated when George Lucas musses up his OWN work. Granted, Andy Milligan isn't George Lucas, but I thought the point of releasing these old films on DVD was to preserve the integrity of the artist. If I had it to do over again, I'd save the money I spent on this disc and have my Something Weird video prints of "Bloodthirsty Butchers" and "Rats are Coming" transferred to DVD myself.

Cut? Uncut? Who cares?.......2003-12-31

Andy Milligan fans rejoice! Here are two of the hack's (I mean director's) most notorious efforts in one double-bill package. If you're not already educated about Milligan, he was a filmmaker who in the 60s and 70s made a series of period horror films, none costing more that $10,000 to produce (according to a famous Andy quote), and none looking like they cost more than $5,000 to make. Milligan has often been referred to as the worst director of all the time, but you can decide after enduring the two features here. For the most part, Milligan worked out of Staten Island, New York, but some of his efforts--such as the two features here--were actually shot in merry old England. Andy not only directed the films, but photographed them, made the costumes, assembled the eccentric-seeming cast members, and just about everything else possible (many of the names in his films' credits were fabricated).

BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS (1970) is Andy's retelling of the "Sweeney Todd" story which had already been filmed as SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET with Tod Slaughter in the 30s, and later became a popular Broadway musical. Here, Sweeney Todd (John Miranda) runs a barber shop (with black & white tiled floors) where he cuts men's' throats while shaving and steals there jewelry, sometimes lopping off a hand or a finger in the process. Body parts of the victims end up in meat pies and are sold to the locals at a bakery, while Sweeney cheats on his wife with nearly every slut in town.

Filled with talk, the dialog is exuberant and swift, so trying to assess these actors' performances seems pointless. Victorian England is represented by a few setpieces shot claustrophobically as to mask the modern-day hindrances and demonstrate Andy's "skill" with a hand-held camera. In between the talky bickering, sloppily edited gore is shown (some apparently cut before initial release), some of it goes by so fast, you'll be questioning what you just witnessed--a breast in a pie is hardly distinguishable on screen, so its legend surpasses it. All this shot on terrible film stock, with cartoonish stock music in constant loop, and the sounds of background automobiles upstaged by a person barking like a dog off screen.

1972's THE RATS ARE COMING! THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE! has one of the greatest exploitation titles of all time, but it's still an Andy Milligan film. Originally filmed as "Curse of the Full Moon," legend has it that the "rats" of the title were added due to the box office success of WILLARD. The plot concerns the Mooneys, an English family suffering from some sort of genetic lycanthropy. The youngest daughter, Diana (Jackie Skarvellis) returns from medical school with her new husband (Ian Innes) only to have their marriage disapproved by the family. The clan includes the bed-ridden father (Douglas Phair, doing a very, very poor man's Vincent Price), the wacky middle sister (Milligan regular Hope Stansbury) who toys with man-eating rats and torments her locked up, idiotic animal brother who likes to toss chickens around the room.

Shot mostly in one mansion location, the film was passed with a PG-rating and is pretty tame for Milligan. Lots of strange characters talk a lot, incest and inbreeding is implied, cars are seen in the far background, electric wall switches are not obscured, and a poor real rat is mutilated, as is a rubber one. There's lots of harsh lighting that makes the whole affair very dark, and the ending werewolf fiasco (with the expected lousy make-up) is even more disappointing than the finale of WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS. Milligan himself is credited as playing an elderly gunsmith who turns a silver cross into bullets. The familiar stock music is in check as well.

Video Kart's DVD transfers promises that these poor-looking films can't look any better, and having seen these two on 35mm in theaters, I know that they never looked too impressive in the least. Milligan shot these on 16mm, using lots of "short ends" of film and live mic sound. The footage was later blown up to 35mm for theatrical presentations. Milligan fans know what to expect here, but for the rest of you, that means lots of grain, muted colors, terrible lighting, and hissy sound in what never borderlines on professional filmmaking. Imagine your old home movies blown up to be shown as a feature film, and you can picture what Milligan's work is like.

Each feature is presented on its own separate disc. The trailers included here are not actually the original theatrical trailers, but rather newly created ones specifically for these DVDs. There is also excerpts of an essay by a representative from Video Kart who talks about meeting the late Milligan, the late Lew Mishkin (the son of late Milligan producer/distributor William Mishkin), and why these films look the way they do. There are some Easter eggs included, all related to various Video Kart DVD releases. Recommended? Of course.

Miligan on DVD.......2003-11-19

I absolutely loved the Video Kart releases of Andy Milligan's BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS/THE RATS ARE COMING! THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE! and the companion release MONSTROSITY/GRAVEROBBERS. It appears that since the first two are MPAA-Rated, they must have been the theatrical release versions. There is no question but that the technical quality is higher for these DVD releases (even though one reviewer said that "You can't polish a turd!") than it was for the old Midnight Video versions, which were apparently re-released by Something Wierd/Image, analog warts and all. On top of that, when you add the convenience of DVD chaptering, and the additional information, there really is no comparison. I can't wait for the other Miligans to come out.

Beware of butchered versions.......2003-11-16

Both of these films must be from TV prints as all the gore and nudity has been amatuerishly edited out. Compare the films to the trailers and you'll see for yourself. My old bootleg video copies are superior in content and print quality. I paid $5.99 for this DVD and didn't think twice about throwing it in the trash. Beware.

Fixing The Un-Fixable.......2003-11-04

Andy Milligan was the worst technical film maker ever. He shot with handheld 16mm, dark rooms, edited with dirty razor blades and old mylar to name a few. His final film release product was in worse condition than most films that have been stored away for decades.

Product Description

When unexpected radiation raises the dead, a small group of Average Americans have to battle flesh-eating zombies in George A. Romero's landmark cheapie horror film. Siblings Johnny (Russell Streiner) and Barbara (Judith O'Dea) whine and pout their way through a visit to their father's grave in a small Pennsylvania town, but it all takes a turn for the worse when a zombie kills Johnny. Barbara flees to an isolated farmhouse where a family, a teen couple, and a lone man named Ben (Duane Jones) are already holed up. Bickering and panic ensue as the group tries to figure out how best to escape, while hoards of undead converge on the house; news reports reveal that fire wards them off, while a local sheriff-led posse discovers that if you "kill the brain, you kill the ghoul." After a night of immolation and parricide, one survivor is left in the house ... . Romero's grainy black-and-white cinematography and casting of locals emphasize the terror lurking in ordinary life; as in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963), Romero's victims are not attacked because they did anything wrong, and the randomness makes the attacks all the more horrifying. Nothing holds the key to salvation, either, whether it's family, love, or Law. Topping off the existential dread is Romero's then-extreme use of gore, as zombies nibble on limbs and viscera.
