After Sundown (2006)
-
trailer (windows media)

Plot Synopsis:  A bloodsucking legend from the Old West has been exhumed from a forgotten graveyard and awakened from her undead slumber, and now it's up to the people who restored her life to send her screaming back into the ground before the entire small-town falls prey to her hypnotic influence in a two-fanged tale with a western twist from directors Michael Brown and Christopher Abram. As evil spreads and this once-notorious legend commences to re-establishing her reputation by embarking on a blood-soaked feeding frenzy, it begins to appear as if mankind's dominion on Earth has been brushed aside to make way for an entirely new breed of beast. With little time left before the contagion of the crimson queen spreads and the numbers of her minions far exceed the armies of man, the sad souls who had inadvertently unleashed her wrath are faced with the daunting prospect of sending her back to the deepest pits of Hell. ~ All Movie Guide

Plot Synopsis:  Young longhaired drug dealers - one of them the extremely nasty and vicious Ray (Jason Williams, FLESH GORDON himself) - along with his slightly more humane partner Alex (Bill Osco, who also served as producer) go on a killing spree after they run into a handful of cops at a roadblock.  Having knocked off all the officers in quick succession, they steal an ice cream truck from its sissy driver (who is held hostage until they can’t take anymore his wining, dumping him on the freeway), murder more cops, and steal the car of a blonde girl (Diane Keller) whom they kidnap after a mini-massacre at a filling station.  Constantly on the run, the boys and their fair-haired prisoner reach their connection and plan to collect a paper bag full of cash in exchange for the dope they possess, hopefully before the law finally catches up to them. ~ DVDDrive-In.com

Femme Fatale Collection (2005)

Plot Synopsis:

Devil Girl From Mars (1954):  An evil Martian female travels to Earth in search of human specimens to be used to repopulate the desolate red planet. Uncooperative men will be destroyed painfully, either as fuel for the ship or at the whim of a deadly robot. However, if the aliens are really as lovely as Head Martianess Hazel Court, who wouldn't cooperate? ~ VideoUniverse.com

The Astounding She Monster (1957):  Edward D. Wood, Jr., served as "consultant" to first time director Ronnie Ashcroft for this Atomic Age cult classic. In it, a geologist living in the woods with his dog has his house taken over first by kidnappers holding an heiress captive and then by a voluptuous blonde alien in nylons and heels whose flying saucer crashed nearby. It turns out this visitor has arrived to bring a message to the geologist, as well as to tempt him with her literally deadly body. A unique fusion of film noir and 1950s sci-fi cheese, THE ASTOUNDING SHE-MONSTER is an entertaining and frequently hilarious cult classic. ~ VideoUniverse.com

Mesa of Lost Women (1953):  A mad scientist (Jackie Coogan, "Uncle Fester" from TV's THE ADDAMS FAMILY) has hidden out in the desert known as Zarpa Mesa in Mexico. Here he develops giant spiders, deadly dwarves, and, through the use of a synthesized derivative of spider venom, a race of killer superwomen that cannot be stopped once they choose their sexual prey. This hugely enjoyable film was made by the legendary Ron Ormond, a director whose biggest claim to fame these days is his close association with Ed Wood. However, his movies demand to be seen in their own right, as Mr. Ormond's taste for the bizarre is enough to carry a film by itself. ~ VideoUniverse.com

DVD Features:  3-Disc Set

Forbidden Adventure & Forbidden Women (1947)

Plot Synopsis:

Forbidden Adventure (1931):  This ridiculously phony documentary was actually a remarkable con-job staged by H.W. Warner and Roy Purdon. Purportedly an examination of authentic footage filmed during a 1914 expedition to the ancient Cambodian temple of Angkor Wat, it was actually filmed entirely in the United States, with rear-projection slides doubling for location footage. The usual topless "natives" and men in gorilla suits comprise the local color, and even the explorers are fake, wearing obviously phony beards. As preposterous as it was, this film played for years on the exploitation circuit, using the nudity as its prime "educational" selling-point. ~ All Movie Guide

Forbidden Women (1947):  After studying in America, South Seas Prince Sigore returns home with plans to change things on his island. He's opposed by the sultan's sister-in-law, who has plans to control the paradise, and is infatuated with the Forbidden Women and their sensuous ways. ~ IMDB.com

Hollywood After Dark & Rotten Apple (1964)

Plot Synopsis:

Hollywood After Dark (1968):  While she chooses to ignores such matters on her official resume, actress Rue McClanahan (Maude, Golden Girls) made many of her earliest film appearances in shlocky exploitationers. In one of these epics, Rue portrayed "Poochie, the girl from the shack." In Hollywood After Dark, our heroine plays a starry-eyed starlet hoping to find success in Tinseltown. Instead, she learns the intrigues of the casting couch and spends a great deal of her time in her underwear. Filmed in 1965, Hollywood After Dark didn't make it to theatres for nearly three years. ~ All Movie Guide

The Rotten Apple (1964):  Miss McClanahan is Poochie, the "crazy damn whore" who lives in a junkyard in The Rotten Apple. When Ben's car breaks down, the poor guy leaves it by the side of the road with his wife and infant daughter, enters Harry's Junkyard seeking a spare part and, well, steps into Hell. He's promptly seduced by Poochie, framed by owner Harry ("a wrecker of human beings"), and beaten by two corrupt cops, while a bruiser named Blowhard attacks Ben's wife. Re-released as 5 Minutes to Love, this version contains the original title and a lengthy prologue by producer-star Paul Leder (director of I Dismember Mama and My Friends Need Killing) who asks the burning question: "Why would anyone want to make a story like this?" ~ Amazon.com

Pitch Black (Unrated) [HD DVD] (1999)
-
trailer (windows media)

Plot Synopsis:  A spacecraft carrying an assortment of passengers including Riddick (Vin Diesel), a dangerous, shackled murderer between prisons, is forced to make a crash landing on a barren, triple-sunned planet after the craft suffers severe damage during a meteor shower. The ship is ripped into pieces, killing several crew members and leaving meek officer Fry (Radha Mitchell) in charge of the survivors. After two unfortunate deaths, the survivors discover that the only visible life form on the planet is a species of light-fearing, carnivorous, occasionally cannibalistic aliens dwelling in caverns beneath the desert surface. Using a model of the planet and its suns in an abandoned research station, Fry deduces that she and her fellow travellers have unfortunately descended on the planet on the day of its first total eclipse in 22 years, giving them mere hours before they are bathed in total darkness. Only then is it safe for the hungry subterranean creatures to emerge, seeking to feed on the remaining survivors. However, the dangerous Riddick, through black market injections received in lock-up, is able to see in darkness- causing the surviving crew members to reluctantly remain dependent on the potentially harmful criminal. As the survivors are killed one by one by the hungry creatures, they realize that Riddick may be their only hope. ~ VideoUniverse.com
