The message of Peter Bogdanovich's suspenseful directorial debut still rings true for post-1970s America, regardless of the decade. Tim O'Kelly plays Bobby Thompson, a seemingly mild-mannered husband and son. But Bobby has a penchant for collecting firearms and thinking murderous thoughts, which translate into action when he becomes a deadly sniper, picking off drivers on the L.A. freeway from high above an oil tank. Meanwhile, Byron Orlok (Boris Karloff), an aging horror film star, plans his retirement, feeling the atrocities wrought by daily human global existence have numbed the public to the movie monsters he plays.
As fate and movies will have it, Thompson and Orlok's worlds collide at the Reseda Drive-In, where Orlok is making his final public appearance. Writer-director Bogdanovich, helming his debut feature, also appears as young Hollywood screenwriter and director Sammy Michaels. A powerful and chilling study of unexplained, unexpected violence, the film relays a message that continues to be contemporary to the American psycho-social landscape.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - English Subtitles - English - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Those crazy folk at Something Weird Video have really delivered the goods this time: A four disc exploitation extravaganza, containing six movies and a whole disc packed full of trailers and sleaze!NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES/FEAST OF FLESH: When his son falls ill of a serious heart ailment, a skilled surgeon takes drastic measures to save his life. He performs the first ape-to-human heart transplant. The results aren't what he expected.THE MIGHTY GORGA/ONE MILLION YEARS AC/DC: Yet another hilariously over-the-top double feature of trashy B-movies is presented here by the looney folks at Something Weird video. 1969's THE MIGHTY GORGA is a comically terrible monster gorilla movie in the spirit of KING KONG but with much shoddier special effects. ONE MILLION AC/DC, which was produced in the same year, is an erotic bit of camp set in the Stone Age and written by famed B-movie auteur Ed Wood.THE BEAST THAT KILLED WOMEN/THE MONSTER OF CAMP SUNSHINE: THE BEAST THAT KILLED WOMEN (1965): Getting an all-over tan can be so difficult with the neighbors always snooping, so an attractive young couple heads off to a nudist camp to laze and brown. They picked the wrong day, however, as a crazed beast (actually just a guy in a gorilla suit) has invaded the resort and has developed a taste for females. Just in time, a lovely policewoman arrives to draw the monster off. THE MONSTER OF CAMP SUNSHINE (1964): In this adult horror-comedy with plenty of nubile nudes, a toxic spill drifts to Camp Sunshine where the portly simpleton gardener drinks it and becomes a monster. Upon entering monster-hood, our hero romps and terrorizes a group of lightly clad birthday celebrants. A fine mid-1960s example of B-movie camp at its titillating best.

A twist on the werewolf thriller, this atmospheric horror film adds a sexual appetite to the bloodthirsty cravings of its monster. The darkwolf, as he is known to area residents, is stalking the streets of Los Angeles. A chosen woman, Josie (Samaire Armstrong) who can protect the City of Angels offers the only chance at stopping this ravenous creature. This creates a problem when Josie also becomes an object of lust for the wolf. Josie is in a unique position, the only one who can either kill the darkwolf or carry the wolf's child. A compelling thriller that is one part BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and one part BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Single Side - Dual LayerAdditional Release Material: Featurette - 1.
