Grindhouse Double Shock Show (Wars of the Robots / It's Alive)

It's Alive is one of the best Z-grade movies I have seen in a long time, and I got some gut busting laughs at its expense. It is slow moving and features really bad quality filming, but the creepy main actor, absurd editing and preposterous situations (especially the prisoner/maid who is "tortured" with a dead mouse and a whistle) were so hilarious that I could not take my eyes away. For anyone who enjoys bad horror/scifi, highly recommended. For anyone who will take it seriously, perhaps take a pass. The War of the Robots was incredibly boring, I am not sure how I made it through and yet I did. The real gem in this collection is It's Alive.

"It's Alive" is one of the most terrifying films I have ever seen. I see now where Steven Spielberg got his idea for Jurassic Park. He totally ripped off this movie! The acting is absolutely sublime.Unhinged bumpkin Greely (Billy Thurman) has two companions: Bella (Annabelle MacAdams), a young woman he's kidnapped, and a huge monster that lives in a cave near his rural home. The monster typically eats animal flesh, but when strangers -- a vacationing couple, Norman (Corveth Ousterhouse) and Leilla (Shirley Bonne), and paleontologist Wayne (Tommy Kirk) -- wander onto his land, Greely fixes to give his bucktoothed buddy a human treat. Unless they escape, the four abductees will be supper.The character of Greely plays a very satisfying madman. He is able to torture and subdue poor Bella with just a dead mouse! Wow...what skill! Quite a limber fellow as well. Running down the stairs laughing on more than one occasion, yet keeping his balance. I would have to compare Billy Thurman's performance, to that of James Gandolfini. Lots of parallels between Greely and Tony Soprano for sure!

This is an Italian movie released in 1978. It has so so English dubbing. The special effects are also so so also. Essentially the plot of the movie are 2 geneticists from Earth are kidnapped by aliens who need their help. The government of Earth sends people to rescue them and that leads to the war mentioned in the title. Basically there's no reason to give a detailed plot of the movie. I watched it all the way through, it wasn't great but it did entertain me for some reason. Not sure exactly why, but it did.

Cheese I just love cheese reeeeeaaally I do

You have to remember the times.

Campy, definitely a B-movie, Special Effect are a joke.

Thanks

Flashlight laser gun??! Light-sword!?

Also ich verstehe die Rezensionen der anderen Käufer nicht. Der Film ist ein echter Heuler, das Bild ist manchmal verwackelt und verwaschen, aber insgesamt nicht so arg. Wenn man bedenkt, daß der Film tatsächlich in Kinos gelaufen sein soll und das etwa zur gleichen Zeit wie Krieg der Sterne, dann ist diese Tatsache fast schon lustiger als der Film selbst. Toller Heuler, endlich mal wieder was zum Lachen. Etwas Blöderes als diese Typen mit ihren blonden Perücken(sollen ja Roboter darstellen) und ihrem planlosen Herumgestolpere und Umgefalle habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gesehen. Unlogisch ist dieser Streifen und ernst gemeint, Lachstufe 1! Bitte mehr davon!

Das Bild ist total verwaschen und hat Unmängen von Artefakten ("Würfel" im Bild). Fast so, als wäre der Film vom einer großen Viedeo-Plattform aus dem Internet entsprungen.Das schlechteste Bild, was ich je bei einem "Silberling" gesehen hab!Der Preis von 1,- Euro inkl. Versand wäre ok!

Cool little double grindhouse scifi feature.

Abgefahrener Hypertrash. Sehenswerte blondierte Prinz Eisenherz-Klone, die in goldenen Gummistiefeln für Angstattacken sorgen :-)))Stylische Musik.

Gefällt nicht.
