The thrill here is SKIN

BCI's AFTER DARK THRILLERS consists of two double-side recorded DVDs with two movies per side. Transfer quality of these unrestored films is adequate.

SYNOPSES--

BLUE MONEY-- NOT the 1985 Tim Curry film. This one stars Alain Patrick as a man whose involvement in adult filmmaking is his undoing.

CLICK-- When a fashion photographer brings some models to a remote ranch to shoot some "snuff" pics, a crossdressing psycho killer "nurse" targets the girls. Slow first hour is washed away by gore afterward.

DOUBLE EXPOSURE-- The police and a shrink suspect that a fashion fotog who has recurrent nightmares of slaying his scantily-clad models may be the slasher terrorizing their city.

FRENCH QUARTER-- Bruce Davison, Virginia Mayo and all the primary actors have dual roles in this story of a girl relocated to the Crescent City for the sake of work who dreams she lives in the 19th Century. Fine jazz soundtrack accompanies this unique story.

HOT TARGET-- Titillating tale of American woman married to a Kiwi who takes up with a fellow Yank cat burglar. Story is incidental to the numerous bedroom scenes.

NIGHT CLUB-- Young couple spend their last dollar then borrow from a mobster to finish converting an abandoned warehouse into a club. When business is poor they're hard-pressed to pay back the usurious loan.

PICK-UP-- Two hippie girls hitch a ride on a cool dude's mobile home bus. The three get lost in the Everglades after some bad weather.

SEPARATE WAYS-- Great cast in this story of a bored married couple who are both having affairs.

Don't Bother!

My Mom used to tell me "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." But then Mom never saw these awful flicks, and I'm sure she would understand if I just give you a very brief warning.

A few words jump immediately to mind when trying to think of ways to describe the movies in this set. Mom WOULDN'T understand though, if I were to use those words here in a public forum, so let me use these instead...

Vapid... Worthless... Boring... Mindless... 80s girl bands at yuppie parties... UGH! The acting is horrible, and the stories could have been written by 5th graders.

I know it's only six and a half bucks, but please, make a contribution to your favorite charity, or go buy a couple packs of cigarettes and start smoking, or do anyting other than wasting your money on this box of vapid, worthless, boring, mindless tripe!

You have been warned! July 20, 2008
