Step right up, folks, and feast your eyes if you dare on the freakiest, creepiest show on earth! It's a four-ring circus of sideshow scares straight from the Something Weird vaults, bound to keep you gasping, screaming, and squirming! First up is the ultimate midnight movie cult classick, Basket Case, the tender story of young Duane exploring sleazy Times Square with his mutant Siamese twin brother stuffed away in a basket! Packed with gore and giggles, this unspeakable ode to brotherly love will have you coming back for more. And you'll swear you're hallucinating when you see the Blood Freak, a killer Turkey-Man who drinks the blood of drug addicts with his beak! It's a monster movie unlike any other, the world's only bloodthirsty-gobbler/anti-drug/pro-Jesus epic. But if you want something a little more feminine, get a load of She Freak, a colorful and kooky carny-noir from producer David F. Friedman (Blood Feast) in which a gold-digging hash slinger finds out the hard way that a midget scorned is a very scary thing. Then take a trip up to Frankenstein#s Castle of Freaks, where the crackpot doctor (Rossano Brazzi) unleashes monsters Goliath and Ook for a monster rumble to top them all. Come on, come all, come scream!

(Sparks, NV United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Freak Show Box Set (Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks / She Freak / Blood Freak / Basket Case) (DVD) For those unfamiliar with Something Weird Video, they specialize in releasing forgotten low-budget movies; their DVD's feature a plethora of bonuses that will keep collector geeks amused for hours on end. If your idea of horror is big-budget CGI-fests like Underworld and Freddy vs. Jason, you will be well advised to skip this box set. If you're a drooling low-budget horror fanatic like myself, read on! But as the package says: "Warning: Contains Graphic Violence, Nudity and Killer Turkeys."The best known and, in my opinion, best movie in the set is Basket Case, written and directed by Frank Henenlotter. It's about Siamese twins who are separated shortly after birth: as an adult, the normal-looking Duane carries around his hideously deformed evil twin Belial in a large, padlocked basket. Equally gruesome and funny, this cult film truly deserves its reputation. Fans will oooh and aaah at the generous extras included, especially the outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage,...

I'm glad I found it on Amazon and the price was fair too. Some movies are so bad that they reek of goodness. Had a great time watching them. Thanks Amazon.com! It's Something Weird...what could you expect??, By Peter Neely "Librarian_of_Doom" (Columbia, MO) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Freak Show Box Set (Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks / She Freak / Blood Freak / Basket Case) (DVD) This is another fine box set released by Something Weird. However, this review focus' more on the set as a whole rather than what I thought of the individual films. Everyone knows what they're getting into by buying a dvd from Something Weird - It'll do strange, new things to you in ways you've never imagined. I've seen three of the four films so far, the exception being "She Freak", and would say that my satisfaction is satisfactory to high. I had high hopes for "Blood Freak" (I know, silly me) and so was a bit dissapointed by the overall sound quality on the film itself...extras were fine IMO. I found that the strain in trying to hear the dialogue took away from the enjoyment of the film. Nevertheless, "Blood Freak" is still an enjoyable, trashy gem in itself and while I think that it would have created a better impression on the whole box set. I didn't have an issue with the sound in terms of "Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks", or "Basket Case." As I mentioned earlier, I... Read more |
