Customer Reviews of Extra Weird Sampler
FIVE-STAR BUDGET BUY ALERT! If you are a fan of B-Movies, or just want to become a bit more familiar with the genre, this DVD is an absolute steal! I bought this "Something Weird Sampler" because of the low price, but my expectations were not high. I say with a grin "How wrong I was!"
A combination of theater trailers and 5-10 minutes snipets of flicks, The Sampler is an absolute video feast. What makes this budget buy so valuable is that a good portion of these films are unwatchable as full length films, but a sampling of the film or its trailer is priceless.
A few of the films like "Confessions of a Psycho-Cat" and "Swamp Girl" are low budget gems I enjoy on their entirety. The trailers for both these movies are included, and are every bit as awesome as the films themselves (by the way, the man being gored to death by the "Lady Matador Psycho-Cat" is none other than Jake LaMotta!).
And if you are one of those fans of 1960s nudie & cheesecake movies, this trailer compilation has nudity galore in many of these previews, including "Wham-Bam Thank You Spaceman," "Nude on the Moon," and "Kiss Me Quick."
Other truly hep trailers include "Kidnapped Co-Ed," "Two Thousand Maniacs," "Mantis In Lace" (late 1960s classic about a stripper who, under the influence of LSD, becomes a killing machine!), "Johnny Firecloud," "For The Hell Of It," and LOTS MORE!
I truly hope there is a sequel to this Sampler. It would be great to see other trailers and samplings that Something Weird Video does have in their library like "Pot, Parents and Police," "The Psychedelic Priest," and "The Adventures of Lucky Pierre."
Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction
This is a collection of trailers from Something Weird, and they really are something weird. Of course all these movies are fiction, but it is hard to believe the truth that any of these were actually made. The subjects vary, but generally run in the Joe Bob Briggs genre. I thought these were mostly tremendously amusing, although I think a few of them are in inexcusably bad taste (and here I am thinking of the entire Herschell Gordon Lewis catalog), which is why I am only giving this four stars.
Most of the trailers are independently hilarious, particularly the trailer for "Kiss Me Quick", which I haven't seen, but plan to, as it looks intoxicatingly bad. Also noteworthy are the trailers for the Chesty Morgan movies, which must be seen to be believed. You may also spot some movies that became MST3K episodes ("Horrors of Spider Island", anyone?)
Overall this is a good package which lost its star for excess tasteless slasher movie trailers. I realize that those are grade-Z movies, but they seem a bit over represented here. This DVD will appeal to anyone who likes to laugh at preposterously poorly made movies, and the price can't be beat.
Life is better in the bargain bin
The 98 theatrical trailers on this dvd are so gawd awful they're good. I thought I knew bad, but these movies are worse than bad. They're worse than the worst I've ever seen, which is Dwayne Esper's Maniac! At least they look like the worst, although trailers usually contain the best a movie has to offer.
Buy it and enjoy.
