There's schlock-horror movie-making par excellence from producer Dick Randall in this Something Weird Collection 1 twofer. Meat Is Meat (1971) finds mad butcher Otto Lehman back in the Viennese community doing what he does best. With its Sweeney Todd overtones this is not for the faint of stomach, but those who enjoy seeing nagging wives and creepy sidekicks transformed into sausages will lap up accordingly. Victor Buono is perfect casting as Lehman, with Brad Harris stylish as the bored American journalist who rumbles his activities and Karen Field looking good as the housekeeper next door. Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks (1973) is less OTT than the title suggests. Rossano Brazzi (earlier of South Pacific!) is a thoughtful Count Frankenstein, while Michael Dunn is seriously unlikable as necrophile dwarf Genz. As anthropologist-cum-sex kitten Krista, Christiane Royce brings a welcome sophistication to this gloss on the hoary Karloff classic, whose opening "location" sequence and standard of dubbing has to be seen to be believed. On the DVD: The Something Weird Collection 1 DVD presentation is of the no-frills variety usual with Siren releases. With decent remastering at 1.33:1 aspect ratio the lurid colour of both films comes through unadulterated. An added attraction is the poster gallery of low-budget shockers with mildly psychedelic soundtrack to boot. It's good, if not so clean fun for all the family. --Richard Whitehouse

Available for the first time on DVD vintage live footage of cult alternative heroes Violent Femmes. The textbook American cult band of the 1980s the Violent Femmes captured the essence of teen angst with remarkable precision; raw and jittery the trio's music emerged as the soundtrack for the lives of troubled adolescents the world over. The group formed in Milwaukee Wisconsin in the early '80s and comprised singer/guitarist Gordon Gano bassist Brian Ritchie and percussionist Victor DeLorenzo; After being discovered by the Pretenders' James Honeyman-Scott the Violent Femmes signed to Slash and issued their self-titled 1983 debut a melodic folk-punk collection which struck an obvious chord with young listeners who felt a strong connection to bitter frustrated songs like ""Blister in the Sun "" ""Kiss Off"" and ""Add It Up."" The album remained a rite of passage for succeeding generations of teen outsiders and finally achieved platinum status. The band temporarily split in the mid-1980's but reformed in 1989 and have been touring and recording to the present day - still loved by their ever loyal fanbase around the world. ""Live At The Hacienda"" features two full shows from the band at Manchester's famous Hacienda nightclub in the mid-1980's
