Are you ready for another go-around at the Fantasy Seventies Cinema? Well, ready or not BCI is unleashing yet another pair of flicks that bring back a little of the decade’s wild side, minus the mind numblingly bad disco music of course.
This double feature of films from director Norman J. Warren amps the cheese value up to eleven on the dial, and it all starts with Satan’s Slave!
*cues spooky music*
Michael Gough of *ahem* Trog fame stars as Alexander Yorke, the uncle of a young girl who’s just moved in with him and his wife after her car mysteriously explodes, killing her parents. Coincidence or the makings of a Satanic orgy?!? You know those older cats in the Seventies would do anything to lure a nubile young chica to their pads! To be fair, this one is a little on the dull side, but in the right polluted frame of mind you probably won’t notice.
Again, traditional ratings do not apply to flicks like these. They’re like an entity in and of themselves. Sure they’re technically shitty, but wow, are they charming!
In terms of special features we don’t get anything but trailers; however, there are two ways to access them. BCI set this DVD up with options in mind. You can either watch the movies independently or as part of a double feature experience complete with commercials and the aforementioned trailers. Discs like these are perfect fodder for parties and such or for a little late night viewing with some friends.
Honestly, it’s a small miracle that anyone even remembers these little forgotten cinema gems, much less takes the time to put them out on a DVD. Keep ’em coming, BCI! Keep ’em coming!
