Radar Men still looks great.......2007-05-12

It was great to see the Lone Ranger (Clayton Moore) as a bad guy. The flying sequences still look great. Both the rocket ship flight and Camando Cody's flying scenes still are impressive. They must have used wires?

Proof we are not alone.......2006-01-16

A mysterious set of explosions leaves Commander Cody to the conclusion that we are under attack from an unknown force. As we guessed from the title of the series it must be the "Radar Men from the Moon".
The series and should not be too violent for today's youngsters as most of the time everybody is just slugging each other and when they use guns they can't seem to hit anything other than other guns. If you're young enough this series is very suspenseful. Otherwise you spend most of your time thinking how dumb why didn't they do this or why didn't they do that. Anyway there is a lot of staying in the car scenes or stay in the Rocket ship scenes or don't fly to close scenes.
When will they ever learn?

The good guys consistently insist on being out numbered in fisticuffs and get the snot beat out of them every time; when will they ever learn? And we know why; if you listen closely you will recognize Clayton Moore (alias The Lone Ranger) with out his mask. Still they are persistent. Will it pay off and can Commando Cody save the day or will the bad moon leader Retik rule the Earth?

Maybe not Great, but Fun.......2004-05-30

I bought on price, since there was no info about the disc. Turns out to be "Radar Men from the Moon" a Republic serial featuring Commando Cody and his flying suit. The controls are "up-Down and On-Off", but what else do you need with a flying suit?

All 12 episodes are on the disc. The picture and sound quality is excellent. And the story...

While there are unintentionally amusing bits (the chairs in the spaceship are office chairs such as the one I'm in now; the crook sets the plane into a dive and then pulls the steering wheel off an tosses it out the window) this one is fun.

Commando Cody (Commando seems to be his name, not a rank. Bet his parents were a scream) cuts a fine figure in his flying suit, but when he takes it off, he looks like your best friend's dad. And when he takes it off he's wearing a dress shirt and tie underneath. The female lead is typical filler. One of the guys objects to a woman on the spaceship and her rejoinder is, "You'll be glad to have someone along who can cook your meals." No feminism here, boys.

The special effects are actually pretty good. The ship appears to be fullsize among the mountains, and if the Moon and Earth both look like California, so be it. Each cliffhanger episode compels you to keep on watching. Not great, but fun.

GOOD QUALITY.......2004-09-10

The quality of all four movies is good. I wasn't expecting much when I purchased this(primarliy for "Horror Hotel"), but was really suprised. The images are mostly crisp. There's not much hiss. You could probably spend more and get better transfers, but you can't beat the price/quality ratio for this Platinum Disc Corp DVD.

Four Movies For A Low Price.......2004-07-26

This DVD (a single DVD) contains four movies: 1) 'Silent Night, Bloody Night' 1973; Color; Patrick O'Neal, Mary Woronov; 2) 'Scared To Death' 1947; Color; Bela Lugosi, Joyce Compton; 3) 'Good Against Evil' 1977; Color; Dack Rambo, Dan O'Herlihy; 4) 'Just Before Dawn' 1980; Color; Deborah Benson, Chris Lemmon, Gregg Henry, George Kennedy. I should point out that the quality of the DVD is not high, but for 4 movies at this price, I am not complaining. The reason I got this DVD was for 'Just Before Dawn' which is the first time, of which I am aware, that this movie has been available on DVD or in any release since the Paragon release on VHS. Unfortunately the print they used for the DVD is missing a scene. The missing scene has Uncle Ty (yes, still drunk) making it to Ranger Roy's cabin to inform him about the killer; just in case you were wondering why Roy began looking for the campers. The skinny dipping scene is also trimmed. The missing part has the killer walking out of the waterfall and descending into the lake; he is underwater copping a feel of the girl; she thinks it is her boyfriend until she sees him climbing out of the water; she freaks and gets out quickly; it is assumed that it was a fish. The missing part of the skinny dipping scene does not take anything from the movie. Even with the missing scene of Uncle Ty, most will assume he is the reason Ranger Roy is searching for the campers. 'Just Before Dawn' is a take-off of 'The Hills Have Eyes'. Just before dawn has an excellent cast, in particular is a great performance by Deborah Benson as the lead heroine. The killer is an interesting twist based on a little known anomaly of breeding. It is too bad that 'Just Before Dawn' fell into obscurity. This DVD gives an opportunity to see this movie even though the print quality is not very high. Had the print quality been higher and complete, I would have rated this DVD at five stars.-Bob UPDATE: In seeing this volume in a store recently, I noticed the the current version has replaced 'Just Before Dawn' with Mario Bava's 'Kill, Baby, Kill". Since this means there are two variations of this volume, you could get either one; however, the one with 'Kill, Baby, Kill' does appear to be the most current.-Bob

What Redemption Opening????.......2005-02-10

I was confused by a review that mentioned that the {Platinum dvd has the Redemption opening for The Devil's Nightmare. I noticed the redemption girl on the menu but the movie stats with the start of the movie on my dvd.
Night Train to terror was so weird we all loved it..Haven't checked out Snow Beast and Moon Of The Wolf yet.
Can anyone tell me if Devil's Nightmare is uncut?

'The Devil's Nightmare' plus 3 more.......2004-07-26

This DVD contains four movies: 1) 'Night Train To Terror' 1984 * Color * John Phillip Law, Cameron Mitchell; 2) 'Snowbeast' 1977 * Color * Sylvia Sidney, Bo Svenson; 3) 'The Devil's Nightmare' 1971 * Color * Erika Blanc, Daniel Emilfork; 4) 'Moon Of The Wolf' 1972 * Color * David Jansen, Geoffrey Lewis. Of special note is the print of 'The Devil's Nightmare' on this DVD which is interestingly the Redemption release of 'The Devil's Nightmare' complete with the introduction by the countess that is on every Redemption DVD (Another reviewer has mentioned that this opening is not on their copy which probably means there are two versions of the DVD, not the first time this has happened in this series. On my copy I have the introduction which has no way to skip it except the fast-forward button. As far as the copy of 'The Devil's Nightmare being uncut; it is the same uncut version that is on the Redemption DVD that I have on mine.). This means that you get a clean widescreen print of 'The Devil's Nightmare' as compared to the other three movies on this DVD which are Platinum's usual grainy affair. Four movies on one DVD at this price is a great deal.-Bob

Flesh Feast.......2006-01-09

I have a 4 pak called Flesh Feast with these same films. Let's take each film one by one:
Slave of the Cannibal God-Stacy Keach and original Bond Girl Ursula Andrews. This film was a pretty good adventure film. Some great scenery and pretty enjoyable. 3 stars
The Severed Arm-Not bad, pretty funny and pretty corney but that is ok. 2 stars
I eat your skin-Silly fun movie that takes place on a fictional island where voodoo creates the living dead. 2 stars
The Undertaker and His Pals- Now this is a funny movie. And like someone else stated the Hip Thrusting still has me wondering as well, but that is the silly comedy of this film. The opening scene where the picture of the sailor changes from happy to shock as he sees his girlfriend murdered was creative and funny. I give this film 3 stars. Overall I give the pak 3 stars, would only recommend for people who like silly, creative older films.

A DVD with 'Taste'.......2004-11-11

Although that was a pun, the selection of movies on this DVD is on the tamer side of cannibal movies. If this upsets someone because they get turned on by movies where animals are slaughtered and women are brutalized, they should seek therapy. There are three movies on this single-sided DVD. 1) 'The Undertaker and His Pals': A campy movie that is thankfully not too long. This movie answers the question, "What happens when you cross Lorenzo Semple, Jr. with H. G. Lewis?". Nobody asked that question but we still got an answer. 'The Undertaker and His Pals tries hard (too hard) at times to be funny. At times it succeeds and at times it falls flat on it's face. I did find humor and some laugh out loud moments in this movie. Some funny moments were intentional, some not, some I had trouble figuring out which (the hip thrusting recoil scene still has me wondering). I found this movie enjoyable enough to watch for it's short 63 minute runtime. It pretty much falls into the category of so bad it's good. If you do not enjoy that type of movie, you probably will not enjoy this. The simple plot of this movie centers on the owners of a diner and a undertaker who plot to kill women for food for the diner and a burial scam for the undertaker (effectively and annoyingly played by Ray Dannis not Ray Dennis as some DVDs have listed him). This also involves a P.I. and a secretary who becomes food and a secretary they want for food (and no, I am not going to make a remark about that, fill in your own blanks). 2) 'The Severed Arm': Several men are trapped in a cave-in. As time passes starvation sets in. The trapped men draw lots to see who will sacrifice a limb so the others can have food. Unfortunately, now for the one-armed man, rescue comes shortly thereafter leaving a bad memory for one survivor and a lingering revenge against the others. To help confuse matters, this movie features Roy Dennis (not Ray Dennis or Ray Dannis). 3) 'I Eat Your Skin', a.k.a. 'Voodoo Blood Bath': This movie was titled 'I Eat Your Skin' to double-bill with 'I Drink Your Blood' in 1971. This at times was gory for the times but nothing like the title suggests. A doctor (call him mad if you want) conducting experiments on a Caribean island (sound familiar) for a cure for cancer instead ends up creating a bunch of bugged eyed zombies. These zombies are not flesheaters as the title suggests but drag people off, beat them, etc. Thankfully there is nobody with the last name of Dennis or Dannis in this movie.-- Aside from the three feature films, this DVD also contains trivia about real ife cannibals. The quality is at or better than VHS and looks good on a 20" TV screen. Please do not eat the DVD.-Bob

3 B movies for one cheap price.......2004-01-02

First of all, I should point out that all 3 of these movies are also available on a collection called "Flesh Feast" that also includes "Slave of the Cannibal God." Haven't seen "Flesh Feast" so I don't know if the picture quality is better or worse. You do get a menu on this DVD with actual facts about real-life cannibals, for what it's worth.

That said, "Great Cannibal Classics" is typical of these cheap multi-movie sets: no-frills versions of the movies, no widescreen, etc. I guess if you were to buy these movies individually you might get a better version w/more extras, but this is a cheap way to get exposure to these movies without paying lots of $$$.

The best one on here is "The Undertaker and His Pals." Fans of Herschell Gordon Lewis need to see this one; it's got the mixture of blood and horribly acted 1960's comedy-shock-horror that gave his movies their distinctive flavor. If I didn't know otherwise I would have sworn he directed this one, although it's a little less gory than most of his films. It's about an evil undertaker that supplies the diner next door (actually named the "Greasy Spoon!") with fresh meat. Really hilarious, especially the ending when they show all the actors. Must be seen to be believed.

Then there's "The Severed Arm," some 70's B-trash about men trapped in a cave-in. On the verge of starving to death, they cut off one guy's arm. Five years later, a guy with a hatchet hunts them down one by one. Not as much blood as I had hoped for, and parts of the film can be damn slow. But it has that 70's cheesy charm to it (especially the weird synthesizer soundtrack), and there's a great twisted ending that makes it all worthwhile. Great for fans of cheap horror films that would have played in the 42nd Street grindhouses.

Finallly, "I Eat Your Skin." Apparently this one ran on a double bill with "I Drink Your Blood," which I've never seen. It's 60's black and white island zombie nonsense, where the zombies' bug-eyes look like Muppet style ping-pong ball halves. Don't expect good makeup here. Worth it for the unintentional laughs, especially the action hero lead who womanizes like James Bond. Pretty grainy picture quality.

A BIT BETTER THAN DECENT.......2004-09-17

I've been suprised by the quality of some Platinum Disc Corp DVDs.

The only movie on this DVD that I thought had a subpar image was "Don't Look In The Basement." Colors were blurry and faded.

The other three were very nice, although "Werewolf..." had some hiss. "Werewolf..." was very watchable and suprisingly engaging. The director must have been influenced by the old Universal monster movies it has that same mood and look.
