Above-average horror film.......2007-06-27

An above-average horror film that has some interesting twists and turns. Sorry, I won't say much about it otherwise, as this isn't Fellini, but for a horror film, it outdoes all of my other recent reviews of more "modern" films. See for yourself. I truly think the best horror was made in the late 1960s to early 1970s time-period.

Vengeance in the Desert.......2006-10-12

An initiation into the sorority of The Sisters goes horribly wrong and one young woman is killed. Seven years later the survivors of the tragic night are summoned to a reunion. Whoever has put it together has provided travel expenses. When the ladies arrive at their destination, they discover it is just a departure point to get to the real destination, a large villa in the desert. The drivers decide to crash the party and join the women at the villa. There they part into the night unaware that someone is watching them. But the next morning the watcher is revealed. It is the dead girl's father and he wants to find out which of the ladies murdered his daughter.

Suddenly the villa becomes a prison surrounded by an electrified fence. They know there was no murder, just an accident. But how do they convince the vengeful father? Soon it changes to a game of survival as the ladies begin to be murdered one by one. There is supposedly a witness that proves the tragedy was really murder and things step up a notch. Desperation reigns as the survivors begin to dwindle in number while trying to escape the villa and the madman who is after them. A few more revelations and plenty more action bring the story to a surprising conclusion. You will have to watch to find out who dies and who survives.

An interesting little film although I never quite understood the purpose of the initiation rite that went wrong. Why the two bullets, etc. After the stylish opening with the blue-draped sisters the visuals return to pretty standard fare for the era. I never felt any real menace except right near the end. Mostly I felt the characters were rather stupid. Why didn't the guys just drive a couch or other heavy object through the fence? Still the film is true to its era but nothing really distinguishes it outside of the opening scene. Worth watching for a little drama but nothing that really stands out.

The La-La Sisterhood..........2005-10-01

A secret sorority inatiation rite ends tragically when a pledge is shot in the head. The gun was supposed to contain a blank cartridge, but fires real ammo instead! Seven years later, the five remaining "sisters" receive invitations to a reunion. Now, I'm aware that this movie was made in the swingin' 70s, but good lord, these women are some dopey dingalings! They decide to go to the mysterious home of a mysterious man via a car with two men they've never met! Yikes! The house is surrounded by a ten foot electrified fence. Who would walk gleefully into such circumstances by choice? Our five heroines, that's who! They soon find themselves trapped (duh!) by a madman with evil intentions. It is explained that he is the dead girl's father, swearing revenge on the dizzy gals, who are now at his mercy. The two guys who drove them to this place try to protect them to little effect. One by one the girly-girls bite the dust. We get death by strangulation, electrocution, and rattlesnake! I like this one just fine. Sure, it's silly! Still, it's fun and watchable...

Sisters of Death.......2005-03-05

During an college sorority initiation ceremony, a pledge in the Secret Society of Sisters is accidentally shot and killed. Seven years later the six remaining members receive invitations (and $500) to attend a reunion. Only one of the Sisters knows the invitation was sent by the dead girl's father.
From the Farrah Fawcett hairdos to the Starsky & Hutch clones, the low-budget SISTERS OF DEATH looks like a made-for-tv movie. This 1978 movie stars 1970 Playboy Playmate of the Year Claudia Jennings (Sorry, no nudity in this one.) The girls, driven to a remote desert estate by Starsky & Hutch, soon find themselves prisoners behind a powerful electric fence. Papa's hidden somewhere inside, packing gunpowder into some nasty looking bullets when not roaming through hidden passages.
The plot of SISTERS OF DEATH is tried and true and a little tired, and a few too many twists are thrown in at the end, but the movie is pleasant enough.

Thrills, chills, and spills!.......2004-08-01

The film begins with a Sorority initiation of two prospective members attired in virginal veils who kneel before a Council with obscured faces, who play a game of Russian Roulette with the initiates until one is shot - yet this was supposed to be a test of trust, no bullets were to be in those guns. A few years go by and the girls receive mysterious invites containing a sizable amount of cash to a reunion at some unknown location, as if they were bribed. They all gather and are all collected by a Starchky & Hutch-looking twosome, and driven to a mansion deep in the isolated countryside where they find their accommodations. They all begin to wonder who their host is, eventually making an appearance - it turns out to be the murdered girl's father! Here is where the real fun begins as he carefully orchestrates each girl's demise in various suspenseful ways. At some point, the drivers who had dropped the girls off decide to "crash the party", as it were, propelled by their libidos in hopes the girls desire male company. So all enter, but none can exit, primarily because of the electrified fence {which would be a marvelous implementation for the nation's borders, in My opinion}; there is a touching scene in which the father undergoes his sad ritual at a shrine he erected to the memory of his daughter in which he plays a recording of her performing the flute, which he so compassionately replicates. Personally, I felt he had every right to avenge his daughter's death - and when loopholes in the legal system yield no justice, he took it in his own capable hands, and thus initiated his own version of "The Most Dangerous Game" of sorts, although the prey here are rather weak overall, and his vigilantism is actual justice, eye for eye and kind for kind. A distraught father seeking justice for his precious little girl - quite a noble endeavor.

Towards the finale, the last living girl fires what probably has to be the luckiest shot in all of cinematic history, and she dos reveal her true colors in a very surprising twist at the very end.

Quite entertaining in a Death Wish sort of way, I grant this film a 4/5 for the Lex Talionis perspective.

Uggghhh..........2006-05-03

Amazon, and you too IMDB...I beseech you to CORRECT this mistake in the listing. Sho Kosugi and cult horror are completely different entities, in case you failed to notice this fact.

Nonetheless, I may as well give this boxset a rating of some kind for including one of the 'Blind Dead' films. However, if you want the 'Blind Dead' films in excellent quality (unlike this thing), search for Blue Underground's boxset of all four films.

For Sho Kosugi fans, this is the WRONG movie.......2005-12-17

This movie is NOT Sho Kosugis 'Pray For Death' Martial Arts action movie. This is a collection of 4 horror flicks and I was disappointed when I recieved this DVD. DO NOT order this item if you are a fan of Sho Kosugi's Ninja movies.

THE WRONG MOVE THIS IS NOT SHO KOSUGI'S PRAY FOR DEATH.......2005-01-28

This collection of four movies are horror movies they DO NOT CONTAIN SHO KOSUGI'S wonderful ninja movie of the same name
Pray for death (which was a superb ninja movie)
Amazon should correct this wrong listing

The Ugly, the Bad, and the Good.......2003-01-21

When you buy one of those DVDswhich include several films for acheap price, you often get whatyou pay for; PRAY FOR DEATH is anoutstanding case in point. THE UGLY: One reason why I gotthis one is NIGHT OF THE DEATH CULT, which is the fourth of theBlind Dead series, and I'm sorry to report that the picture qualityis atrocious. It clearly came froma substandard videotape source, and is full of the sort of hideous artifacts that plagued budget VHStapes. Let's hope for a bettercopy of this title someday soon. THE BAD: The prerelease infoindicated that the notorious MARKOF THE DEVIL PART 2 was part ofthis package, but if you orderedit for that reason, you're goingto be bumming, as DEATH CULT is the only announced title which isactually included...come on, guys! THE GOOD: As to the movieswhich ended up being included,THEWEREWOLF VS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN is acampy Paul Naschy vehicle which isentertaining in its goofy fashion.SISTERS OF DEATH features an oddperformance by 1950s Sci-Fi heroArthur Franz as he menaces, amongothers, the ill-fated Playboy model Claudia Jennings...this oneoffers better acting than usuallyseen in such low-budget fare. Andlastly we have the ubiquitousSATANIC RITES OF DRACULA in apretty decent letterbox print. Iguess that Hammer must really notcare about this title, judgingfrom the number of cheap DVDs onwhich it can be found. All threeof this group are watchable, if not exactly DVD demo material. VERDICT: All in all, it's OKfor the price, but I'll be morewary in the future.

Margarethe von Trotta came into her own as one of the most important voices of the New German Cinema with her second film, Sisters, or the Balance of Happiness, a work she once described as "a soul painting." Maria (Jutta Lampe), a coldly efficient executive secretary to a big-wheel tycoon, tries to impress her own ambitions and drive for success on her fragile sister, a sensitive art student who becomes smothered by Maria and takes her own life. Avoiding her feelings of guilt and loss, Maria takes on a surrogate sister in the form of a young typist in the secretarial pool and begins grooming her for success, deaf to the girl's personal ambitions and interest in a life outside of a job definition. Evocative compositions and von Trotta's growing visual style give a cinematic dimension to the exploration of the social web, and Lampe's intense performance centers the film as her goal-oriented professional is finally forced to confront herself and find the elusive "balance of happiness" that will bring her in touch with her dead sister. Less didactic and more introspective than her first film, The Second Awakening of Christa Klages, this is the work that brought her to the attention of the international film scene and marked her as one the most exciting and committed directors of her time. --Sean Axmaker

great movie.......2007-05-11

For first time actors, this is a really good movie. All of the actors put a lot of time and effort into this movie. Plus, I'm really good friends with one of the Actresses. Cssie Daniels really showed a lot of determination and it looked liked she went above and beyond to make her role as Tina very convincing.I wish her lots of luck in her acting carrer.

Almost Better.......2006-10-15

This movie was okay and almost better. The acting was lacking. Some acted okay. Others sucked. They could have called this movie "Dingbats Running". Being a sucker for a romantic story in the middle of all the slashing, it would have added to the story if the nerd had gotten the girl in the end, instead of becoming just another victim. This movie had potential, but never reached it. Had I rented it, I would never have bought it, yet it was not a total waste, just as acting classes for some in the film would not be a total waste.

B-bonster at its best.......2006-09-13

The storyline is pretty good. The cast is great looking. If you are a fan a b-monster and indenpendent horror movies, this is the one for you. It has everythig you want - a deformed monster, screaming and surprises. Good movie.
