3-0 out of 5 stars Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell
Troma is at it again. If you like clay dinosaurs and little dialouge, then step right up. This isn't for the easily disuaded moviegoer. Those who enjoy a few swordfights, puppet-like worms popping from the ground to feast on dogs and human flesh, a severed arm (this happens once),and lizard creatures that make annoying noises, then bring it on. I have to be a little honest, I love horror and it's the simple things that carry me through the hour and twenty minutes this movie has to give. This has one scene of boobage, flat and nothing to do with the plot, and some gore, but it's mostly the adventure that turned me on to buy this thing and keep it in my collection. If you're a true fan, then fork it over, but if you're indecisive and a virgin to the gore industry, then stay away!

1-0 out of 5 stars DO NOT buy this thing!!
When I got this movie I was expecting another great Troma classic. I mean, how can you go wrong with a title like that. The main actress is ugly as sin and furthermore there is no nudity. This movie does not deserve the Troma logo on it! DO NOT buy this thing.

5-0 out of 5 stars PLEASE!
People Act like they are shcoked that a TROMA, the creators of toxie, put out a movie that wasn't good enough for the oscars. When you sit down to watch the Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, or Class of Nukem High do you actually think you are going to be watching a good movie. It's the same thing when you sit down to watch Redneck Zombies, Troma's WAR, or Bugged. My advice to you is if you see a Troma logo, run as far away from it as possible. This movie rules, and I'm not just saying that because I'm good friends with Brett's partner Steven. I don't even know Brett!

1,000 word maximum? That's not fair. A million words could not express my undying gratitude to Brett Piper on creating this masterpiece. First, the title is somewhat misleading. Dinosaur Hell is not hell at all. It is heaven! The nympho barbarian overcomes many obstacles to finally find the item of his desire.....the mysterious "Baby Back"! After a dramatic twist near the end of the movie, the ending is much better than the ending of The Sixth Sense. I won't spoil it for you, but I will just say there are dinosaurs that are human size, and there is a nice pancake scene at the end of the movie between the barbarian, a anklyosaurus, and the fat guy from Jurassic Park! Thanks, and get this one quick!

2-0 out of 5 stars Pretty Bad.
I am a TROMA fan must admit this one bites. Only one or two cool scenes. Troma DVDs usually get a extra star review because of all the neat cool features they present and offer with thier movies(DVDs) And its not like your gonna get to see this flick on HBO.

1-0 out of 5 stars Are you kidding me???
I'll bottom line it for you:

1) Not scary
2) Not funny
3) No Lesbian scenes
4) Hardly any nudity

Who are they kidding with this crap? I don't think people are buying this DVD for the "fine acting" or the "high production value" either...

2-0 out of 5 stars Misty Mundae in the shadow of the valley of death
"Screaming Dead" is supposedly Misty Mundae's first foray into "serious" horror films. Mundae's appeared in no less than 25 films under the banner of EI Cinema and its seduction cinema subsidiary. Films such as "Lord of the G-strings", "Dr. Jekyll and mistress hyde", "Spider Babe" take classic movie concepts and turn them into shameless smut&schlock nudie fests. These films are for the most part horrible except for the radiating presence of Mundae, whose young and sweetly innocent look belies the image usually associated with these types of actresses. Now released under the banner of Shock-O-Rama, Misty and friends attempt to get seriously scary for the first time but alas the results are nearly disastrous. If this is really to be the film where Misty was banking on making her gain respect as a serious actress then I actually feel a little sorry for her.

3 wannabe models are hired by the supposedly famous photographer Roger Neale for a shoot to take place in an abandoned psychiatric asylum. The naïve girls actually agree to do this for free, buying into the concept that this shoot will give them the exposure and kickstart needed to get their modelling careers in gear. But Neale lets them know things will be done on his terms; "During this assignment, I own you 24 hours a day. You will do exactly as I say and never disobey an order". Unbeknownst to the girls, legend has it that the asylum is rumoured to have the bodies of 1000 people buried below, people who were murdered by owner Jacob Rossiter, who specialized in developing torture devices. Given the macabre past of the asylum and the ghosts that still haunt the asylum, their domineering boss might actually be the least of the girls' worries...

Although apparently a departure from Misty's previous work in the seduction cinema titles, one thing that remains constant is the film quality, it still has the look of a cheap home-video porn. Most of the actors barely do a better acting job than the average porn star, except for Misty and Rachael Robbins. I really hope those two girls get the true breakthrough roles because their talent really bellies films like this. The bad acting did provide lots of chuckles, one of the actors actually cracks a bunch of lame jokes throughout the film. In other words, awkward acting in a delicious way. These chuckles don't make up for the fact that the film is a major sleep-inducer for most of the way, nothing actually happens until about an hour into the 90-minute length. Once chaos finally ensues, it mostly becomes a spectacle of unconvincing shrieks and incredibly lame computer generated special effects. Oh, and by the way, who is that monster on the cover box who tries to strangle Misty? He's not even in the film.

Really what it comes down to is that this film is but a lame horror picture whose only saving grace is the physical beauty of its stars. Screaming dead is not scary. It contains very little nudity and no intercourse. There's practically no gore, save for one scene where Misty is tied to a cross and whipped to a bloody pulp. No scares, no smut, no gore so what's the use? I'll bet that's what most people who picked this one up were expecting but Screaming Dead fails to deliver on all 3 levels. Even the usually excellent Shock-O-Rama special features were disappointing this time, the only exception being the 20-minute Misty Mundae Bio. For a better film experience, may I recommend "Flesh for the Beast?" That was another effort by smut filmmakers to break into serious horror films that worked much, much better.

5-0 out of 5 stars Horror fans, meet the ultimate Scream Queen: Misty Mundae
Screaming Dead is the first film release from Shock-O-Rama Cinema, the fresh, newly-relaunched horror-focused offshoot of ei Independent Cinema (most famous for its Seduction Cinema line of films). Anticipation and expectations were high among those of us in the know, namely the legions of Misty Mundae fans. The emphasis here is on the horror aspects of the film and not the erotic elements which have fueled ei's rise to prominence as an independent film company. One of the greatest things about this film is its potential to introduce more mainstream horror fans to the work of ei Independent Cinema; more importantly, it will introduce a new set of fans to the glory that is Misty Mundae. With her girl-next-door image, unquantifiable charm, down-to-earth radiance, and incredible talent, Misty Mundae has emerged over the last six years as the hottest, most adored B movie goddess in the business. Misty is famous, of course, for her long string of erotic films under the Surrender Cinema label, but this talented actress is now getting the chance to spread her wings and show audiences just how talented an actress she is. Devoted Misty fans should take note that you won't find Misty frolicking around in erotic scenes with her female costars this time around - there's some nudity, of course, and one scene with some definite tease quality, but don't go in thinking this is another erotic Misty Mundae film.

The film itself probably deserves four stars, largely due to a rather hokey ending, but there are a number of wonderful extras included on the DVD, and the whole film is just so darned Misty-licious that I'm giving it five stars. Screaming Dead is a ghost story with a focus on the exploitation of women; it is in some ways a throwback to the vintage horror films of the 1970s and 1980s. Renowned photographer Roger Neale (my nominee for irredeemable sadist of the year) has found the ideal location for his next photo shoot - an abandoned mental institution. Legend has it that a fellow named Rossiter tortured untold numbers of young people in a secret basement, and this thought makes the unabashed sadist in Neale feel all tingly inside. All he needs are three young female models to exploit for his own perverted needs. This guy is so famous that he doesn't even pay his models, and we see his highly unusual interview technique early on as Bridget (Misty Mundae) is forced to sit naked and blindfolded while Neale tells her what he demands from a model (which can be summed up as "I own you"). Once he gets the girls to the location, Neale enforces his increasingly dominant will on them, going well beyond merely treating them like prisoners. On hand to cramp Neal's style is Sam Rogan, the real estate company's representative, and he turns out to be the girls' only hope for escaping the week-long photo shoot alive. The place really is haunted, you see, and Neale's perverted obsessions are just the fuel needed to feed the fire of old man Rossiter's eternal sadism.

Joseph Farrell turns in an incredibly convincing performance as Roger Neale - few characters in the history of cinema have been as despicable, hateful, and sadistic; if ever a man needed to be taken behind the woodshed, it's this guy. Rob Monkiewicz is very effective in the role of Sam Rogan, and all of the young female actresses are great, as well (although Rachael Robbins' delivery sometimes feels a little forced). Naturally, Misty Mundae is superb and more than lives up to her scream queen credentials. Keeping in mind that Screaming Dead is a low-budget independent release, the special effects are actually quite good overall. A few of them look fake, and there was one editing snafu that jumped out at me, but by and large the movie boasts some pretty impressive special effects for a film of this nature.

Will Screaming Dead scare you? Probably not. It does, however, offer loads of building suspense, a decent amount of gore, and the tried and true, crowd-pleasing use of assorted torture instruments on nubile flesh. The depth of the viewer's dislike for Roger Neale serves the film in very good stead. Anyone who mistreats a character played by Misty Mundae more than gets my dander up, and this guy is frighteningly good at being bad. The ending, as I mentioned, is not built to please, but overall, Screaming Dead is really quite a good horror film.

As for those extras on the DVD, you get a featurette on the making of the film, a documentary on the true history of the Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital in New Jersey (where the film was shot), interviews with director Brett Piper and several cast members (including Misty), footage of the premiere showing of Screaming Dead at Fangoria's 2004 "Weekend of Horror" in New York City, a photo gallery of shots from the film, a nice little collectible booklet about the film, and trailers for the promising upcoming releases from Shock-a-Rama Cinema (all but one of which feature Misty). Best of all, though, you get From Skin to Scream, a documentary on the meteoric rise to stardom of Misty Mundae. Folks, it's all about Misty - that's the bottom line here.

On a final note, let me address one issue surrounding the DVD release. The first 4440 copies of the DVD mistakenly contained an insert telling fans how they could get the unrated version of Screaming Dead (they should have contained a postcard offering the buyer a free poster). There is no unrated version of the film; those who happen to get such a postcard with their DVD certainly need to be aware of this fact.

1-0 out of 5 stars Screaming Dull
Long, boring, and drawn out to excruciating length. Very little T&A and NO softcore lesbian scenes(!) that were done so well with the Seduction Cinema titles. Plot is nonsensical and just not very interesting. Blood looks ultra-fake and the acting is subpar. I'm giving this a 1 star rating purely on the fact the great Misty Mundae is in it.
There is a card enclosed with this DVD that supposedly entitles you to an unrated version of this film. When I sent mine in I recieved a letter back stating that the card was placed in error and no unrated version of the film exists, just the R version that I had already purchased. I recieved a poster and a list of new releases and the hopes that I would buy them also. I won't be buying anymore R versions of these films.

3-0 out of 5 stars screaming tamed
Nothing says fun like Misty Mundae strapped to a plank of wood doing a Jesus pose all bloodied up wailing. It's all part of the modeling scene in the dungeon that goes terribly wrong. In a way this a socially relevant b-horror movie that Brett piper brings to us. Young naive girls wanting fame, at the expense of their dignity. The antagonist roger neale is the one stripping any piece of dignity from these poor young girls. Luckily we have a knight in shining armor to save these dansels in distress.

After a while you get tired of the social statements, and want the horror to begin. You want to see blood dripping, and gore oozing off the screen. Well Maybe some other movie. Brett Piper
wants the story told his way, and the characters devoloped as he sees fit. But you do get caught up in the drama. At some point you sympathize for these young darlings.

Of course the big star is misty mundae. She does hold up to her responsibilities in her role. Watching her sit nude, blindfolded being "auditioned" by Mr. neale you feel a genuine sense of the girl next door wanting fame badly, at the cost of her innocence. her nervousness as she's being grilled comes off naturally. Maybe thats why we love this girl.

Her co-stars do carry their weight performance wise.The ghoul torturing the models reminded me of Freddy kruger. He seemed like a sick sadistic Jack Nicholson.

As far as DVD bonuses, the package is decent. You get cast interviews, insight to the asylum used as location, and a Misty Mundae documentary. Nothing as Juicy as behind the music.

5-0 out of 5 stars Yazawa!
Bwahaha! This is one of the many anime series that just gets lost between the cracks. Most anime fans i know either like sugary sweet shoujo stories such as Fushigi Yugi, or action packed gore adventures like Ninja scroll. Series like Bite Me! Chameleon just see to get lost, but fans of anime owe it to themselves to watch series like this one and the notorious Ping Pong Club. This series is about a 10th grader named Yazawa who wants more than anything else in life to become a member of the Yakuza, or at least to be a bosozoku. He walks tough talks tough, but in face mhe is nothing more than a little shrimp with allusions of grandeur. Things begin to change when Aizawa begins to attend Yazawa's school. Aizawa is a real bosozoku and has links with the Yakuza. Yazawa crosses swords with Aizawa and fun is the product! Bite Me! Chameleon is a sweires not for the faint of heart there are several scatological jokes that might not be suited for all, but if you like anime and want to try something different, check out this series. ...

This is perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen. It looked like it was filmed with someone's camcorder. All of the actors were so over the top and bad, you were embarassed for them. I spent 5 dollars renting this from Blockbuster, and 2 minutes in to it, I was like, "Is this a joke?"

1-0 out of 5 stars Worst piece of .... ever!!!
When I rented this in Blockbuster it looked like a real DVD. What happened?!?! It looked like it was shot by someone's camcorder. Most of the actors were ok, but what was up with that Shemp guy? Was he trying to be a lumberjack or something?? He looks like the kind of guy that would total two cars in a week.

2-0 out of 5 stars Fun but gets boring
There are parts of PSYCLOPS that are really fun but it really suffers mostly from trying to house to many plots.
Fortunately PSYCLOPS looks like the director and cast had a real fun time making it which helps alot.
But PSYCLOPS loses alot of cohesion when it skips from being an H.P. Lovecraft styled thriller into a zombie movie and then into a mad scientist flick. My favorite part was the brief bit when one of the character enters another dimension and encounters a monster. I was dissapointed when the monster did not do away with her cuz that character was WAY annoying.
There is also a wiccan character in the film (always a mistake) who is played by Liz Hurley (not Elizabeth Hurley). Liz Hurley is actually really good as the wiccan and plays the character in a way so that you can never tell what is going on with her. You can't tell wether to trust her or not. But wiccans always make me think of THE CRAFT. Or some fat woman in a moo moo talking about nature rituals.
The other cast members are extremely irritating, with the exception of the muscle bound guy with glasses. He at least acts with enough competence to read his lines well.
The other two girls are just dreadful, with zero personality, and lines like, "Oh my God, how wierd is that...Oh my God!!"
My problem with these kinds of female characters is in real life I would cross the street to avoid coming in anyway near such stupidity. The fact that they talk through a HUGE portion of the film really becomes dreadful after awhile. You'd have to be really WHIPPED to wanna hang around these two girls.
So I never really care when characters like this are in danger. In fact this movie would have been much better with their swift removal. I'm always sitting there thinking, "Oh gee, the mad scientist is gonna finally kill that idiot. What took him so long?"
Anyway, I did enjoy this movie for about 20 minutes. Then I forced myself to watch the whole thing, admittedly skipping through a lot of the latter part when one of the JERSEY GIRLS is strapped to a table and the viewer is supposed to care about her.
I'm all for T&A appeal but at least try to cast someone who does not sound like a young Margaret Hamilton crossed with a big haired Jersey girl. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars THE DOUBLEMINT TWINS
At one point in this spoof reminiscent of the b-movies of the fifties, the lascivious professor calls his two bimbo students The Doublemint Twins. These two (played with horrible abandon by Bevin McGraw and some unnamed starlet) are a hoot to watch, they are definitely el stupido. (Their lesbian scene is unnecessary, but not surprising!). The spider monsters are fine, when viewed from a distance; only when there are close-ups are they obviously fake! But Rob Monokiewicz as the studly hero is fun to watch; he looks like a law student, but his quiet understated performance should have gotten him more roles. Irene Joseph as the professor's assistant is pretty fun, too. Dan Merriman as Deke is awful, but not to the point of absurdity. Brett Piper directs with his tongue in his cheek, and ARACHNIA, though not a classic, is a fun time passer.

4-0 out of 5 stars Giant Spider-Monsters
During a meteor storm, a large meteor explodes on a mountainside and opens a system of caves. The explosion also causes the crash of a small airplane carrying an archeologist and some of his students.

It is cold and dark and they are far from any sign of civilization but get lucky when they find an abandoned shack. Huddling in the shack leads to a gratuitous bath scene and then introduces a new character; an old man who owns the shack. He takes the survivors back to his house and they make the discovery of the giant arachnids (but not until after a gratuitous lesbian scene).

The spider-like monsters need to be stopped. The are social creatures and not loners like true spiders.

In the end things work out in a fashion as these movies usually do. The acting is not as bad as others have said, but it would have been nice if the casts "beauty" was actually pretty. The old man is a hoot and the archeologist is fun to hate.

The creature are done in a marvelous stop-motion style (with some full scale models) reminiscent of The Black Scorpion. The critters are good, ut the sets are obviously small models.

Fun in the B-Movie style and sure to please fans of cheesy movies. A body ripped apart and plentiful nudity make this one unsuitable for some.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good B-movie Fun
This is not a great movie, but it accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is capture some of the fun of a B-movie from the '50s and '60s. Thare are two passable performances, but mostly horrible acting. What makes the movie are Brett Piper's stop-motion spiders. If you get the DVD, I recommend only waching it with the commentary track on. It drowns out the bad, boring dialogue and the terrible acting and you learn a little about low-budget filmmaking.

2-0 out of 5 stars If you like bad movies, you'll like Arachnia.
I recommend this movie for anyone thinking of getting into film making. It is SOOO encouraging. You know you can do better.

2-0 out of 5 stars Fun but gets boring
There are parts of PSYCLOPS that are really fun but it really suffers mostly from trying to house to many plots.
Fortunately PSYCLOPS looks like the director and cast had a real fun time making it which helps alot.
But PSYCLOPS loses alot of cohesion when it skips from being an H.P. Lovecraft styled thriller into a zombie movie and then into a mad scientist flick. My favorite part was the brief bit when one of the character enters another dimension and encounters a monster. I was dissapointed when the monster did not do away with her cuz that character was WAY annoying.
There is also a wiccan character in the film (always a mistake) who is played by Liz Hurley (not Elizabeth Hurley). Liz Hurley is actually really good as the wiccan and plays the character in a way so that you can never tell what is going on with her. You can't tell wether to trust her or not. But wiccans always make me think of THE CRAFT. Or some fat woman in a moo moo talking about nature rituals.
The other cast members are extremely irritating, with the exception of the muscle bound guy with glasses. He at least acts with enough competence to read his lines well.
The other two girls are just dreadful, with zero personality, and lines like, "Oh my God, how wierd is that...Oh my God!!"
My problem with these kinds of female characters is in real life I would cross the street to avoid coming in anyway near such stupidity. The fact that they talk through a HUGE portion of the film really becomes dreadful after awhile. You'd have to be really WHIPPED to wanna hang around these two girls.
So I never really care when characters like this are in danger. In fact this movie would have been much better with their swift removal. I'm always sitting there thinking, "Oh gee, the mad scientist is gonna finally kill that idiot. What took him so long?"
Anyway, I did enjoy this movie for about 20 minutes. Then I forced myself to watch the whole thing, admittedly skipping through a lot of the latter part when one of the JERSEY GIRLS is strapped to a table and the viewer is supposed to care about her.
I'm all for T&A appeal but at least try to cast someone who does not sound like a young Margaret Hamilton crossed with a big haired Jersey girl. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell
Troma is at it again. If you like clay dinosaurs and little dialouge, then step right up. This isn't for the easily disuaded moviegoer. Those who enjoy a few swordfights, puppet-like worms popping from the ground to feast on dogs and human flesh, a severed arm (this happens once),and lizard creatures that make annoying noises, then bring it on. I have to be a little honest, I love horror and it's the simple things that carry me through the hour and twenty minutes this movie has to give. This has one scene of boobage, flat and nothing to do with the plot, and some gore, but it's mostly the adventure that turned me on to buy this thing and keep it in my collection. If you're a true fan, then fork it over, but if you're indecisive and a virgin to the gore industry, then stay away!

1-0 out of 5 stars DO NOT buy this thing!!
When I got this movie I was expecting another great Troma classic. I mean, how can you go wrong with a title like that. The main actress is ugly as sin and furthermore there is no nudity. This movie does not deserve the Troma logo on it! DO NOT buy this thing.

5-0 out of 5 stars PLEASE!
People Act like they are shcoked that a TROMA, the creators of toxie, put out a movie that wasn't good enough for the oscars. When you sit down to watch the Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, or Class of Nukem High do you actually think you are going to be watching a good movie. It's the same thing when you sit down to watch Redneck Zombies, Troma's WAR, or Bugged. My advice to you is if you see a Troma logo, run as far away from it as possible. This movie rules, and I'm not just saying that because I'm good friends with Brett's partner Steven. I don't even know Brett!

5-0 out of 5 stars The best Ever...I cannot sit by and let you miss this!
1,000 word maximum? That's not fair. A million words could not express my undying gratitude to Brett Piper on creating this masterpiece. First, the title is somewhat misleading. Dinosaur Hell is not hell at all. It is heaven! The nympho barbarian overcomes many obstacles to finally find the item of his desire.....the mysterious "Baby Back"! After a dramatic twist near the end of the movie, the ending is much better than the ending of The Sixth Sense. I won't spoil it for you, but I will just say there are dinosaurs that are human size, and there is a nice pancake scene at the end of the movie between the barbarian, a anklyosaurus, and the fat guy from Jurassic Park! Thanks, and get this one quick!

2-0 out of 5 stars Pretty Bad.
I am a TROMA fan must admit this one bites. Only one or two cool scenes. Troma DVDs usually get a extra star review because of all the neat cool features they present and offer with thier movies(DVDs) And its not like your gonna get to see this flick on HBO. Plenty of commentary here along with TROMA interactive trivia game. Gotta give it more than one star. ... Read more
