Titles included are: 'The Beuty Contest' 'Bulbous Cauliflower' and 'Weevily Swede'.
Comprising of 7 magnificent short films on the Seven Deadly Sins this cult-classic comedy features a mammoth cast of legendary British comedians and saucy girls. The hilarious segments include a bachelor desperate to get a date and a chauffeur searching through London's sewers to find his boss' lost 50p. Pride of place goes to an episode illustrating class warfare when a Bentley and a clapped out Morris meet head on in a narrow lane and both drivers refuse to back down.
A little over-extended as a two-hour movie, The Eligible Bachelor was one of several such feature-length productions made (late 1992) in Granada Television's long-running Sherlock Holmes series. Based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor, this TV movie finds Holmes (the ailing Jeremy Brett, playing an increasingly darker and more neurotic detective) and Dr. Watson (Edward Hardwicke) called upon to help in a case involving the disappearance of Henrietta Doran (Paris Jefferson), fiancé of the noble Lord Robert St Simon (Simon Williams), who was last seen with a former lover of St Simon's, Flora Millar (Joanna McCallum). The unimaginative Scotland Yard instantly arrests Millar on suspicion of foul play, but it is Holmes who has to find the missing woman. Fans of the entire series might best enjoy this slightly clunky programme, though there is much of interest about Brett's performance to recommend it. --Tom Keogh
It has been called disturbing (Los Angeles Times), nerve-shattering (Chicago Reader) and Rob Zombie's masterpiece (Loudwire.com). From the nightmare mind of writer/director Rob Zombie comes the terrifying story of Salem, Massachusetts radio DJ Heidi LaRoc (Sheri Moon Zombie of THE DEVIL'S REJECTS) who receives a mysterious record labeled a gift from The Lords. But when Heidi plays the disc, its bizarre sounds will trigger visions of the town's depraved past, release the darkness within her own damaged soul, and unleash the long-awaited vengeance of Satan himself. Bruce Davison (WILLARD) and a coven of genre legends co-star in this stunning witchcraft shocker that Beyond Hollywood calls a full-on piece of satanic madness... THE LORDS OF SALEM is light years away from 99% of modern commercial horror cinema!
