• Trader Hornee | DVD | (26/04/2008) from £6.73   |  Saving you £-0.74 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  A jungle adventure with a difference - a safari that includes much boy-girl girl-boy girl-girl stuff and lots lots more. Hamilton Hornee is the private detective hired by a bank to find the missing child of a famed African explorer. 15 years previously her parents were slain in the jungle by savage natives and he's to establish if by some miracle she has survived. If the girl is found she will now be 21 years of age and will inherit the multi-million dollar estate of her father. Hornee and his Girl Friday Jane head the search party which includes Max and Doris Matthews cousins of the late wealthy explorer. If the missing girl is not found they get to inherit the money. Also on the safari are Tender Lee a columnist looking for the story of a lifetime and Stanley Livingston a zoologist who's trying to prove the existence of Nabucco the legendary great white gorilla. In Africa Hornee hires as a guide Kenya Adler a famed hunter and explorer who is now a bit past his prime. Soon the expedition is captured by the Meshpokas people who are ruled by the beautiful young blonde haired white goddess Algona and are the most feared natives in all the Dark Continent. Stanley Livingston finds his great white gorilla which turns out to be a British Commissioner in an ape-suit who in reality is a notorious escaped Nazi war-criminal. Algona discovers she's the missing child and frees all the captives except one; Horne... she keeps him for her own amusement! Good Bawdy Fun.

• Henry - Portrait Of A Serial Killer | DVD | (25/05/2001) from £13.59   |  Saving you £-3.60 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Most horror films exist in a fantasy movie-world safely removed from our existence, populated by zombie-like killers and psychopathic madmen. The power of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is its chilling placement in the mundane existence of everyday life. Michael Rooker plays Henry not as a raving psychopath but as the frumpy guy next door, a drifter who takes out his frustrations on random victims and escalates his body count after teaming up with the violent ex-con Otis (Tom Towles). Though not exceedingly gory in light of the excesses of such fantasy horrors as the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street series, director John McNaughton's straightforward presentation and documentary-like style creates a chilling realism that many viewers will find hard to watch. McNaughton neither comments on nor flinches at the brutal violence, which reaches its apex in a disturbing camcorder-eye view of a particularly sadistic murder of a middle-class couple, with Henry and Otis smiling through the deed as they record it for their continued pleasure. Henry straddles the line between True Crime (though fictional, the story was inspired by the confessions of real-life serial killer Henry Lee Lucas) and horror, a bleak, brutal kind of terror for a generation deadened by the escalating outrageousness of movie murders and nightly news crime scene clips. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com
