• Children Of The Corn | DVD | (16/10/2000) from £9.98   |  Saving you £0.01 (0.10%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The murder rate is as high as an elephant's eye in Children of the Corn, a flaccid adaptation of Stephen King's short story. While driving through Nebraska en route to a new job, medico Burt (Peter Horton) and his wife Vicky (a pre-Terminator Linda Hamilton) nearly run over a mutilated boy who staggers from the cornfields. Seeking help, they enter the town of Gatlin, whose under-20 residents have butchered their parents per the decree of junior-grade holy-roller Isaac (John Franklin), who preaches the word of a being called "He Who Walks Behind the Rows". King's original story (from his 1978 collection Night Shift) was a lean and brutal mélange of Southern-Gothic atmosphere and EC Comics-style gore, which scripter Greg Goldsmith effectively neutralises by adding a youthful narrator (a grating Robbie Kiger) and putting an upbeat spin on the story's morbid conclusion. Fritz Kiersch's direction is TV-movie flat, with the sole inspired moment (hideous religious iconography glimpsed during a bloody "service") delivered as a throwaway. Aside from Horton and Courtney Gains (as Isaac's hatchet man Malachai), the performances are dreadful. The depiction of the monster-God as a sort of giant gopher inspires more laughter than terror. Amazingly, the film spawned six sequels; Franklin (Cousin It in the Addams Family films) later appeared in and wrote 1999's Children of the Corn 666.--Paul Gaita, Amazon.com

• Blood For Dracula / Flash For Frankenstein | DVD | (24/04/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Andy Warhol along with his long-time collaborator and director Paul Morrissey combined their mighty talents for these campy trashy masterpieces of mid-70s horror. Flesh or Frankenstein (1973): Dr. Frankenstein desires to create perfect male and female specimens from body parts he has 'collected'. If all goes well his creations will then start a 'perfect' new race. However when the brain of a holy man is mistakenly placed in the head of the male creature things don't go as the good doctor planned. The result is an abundance of nudity and gore as well as a disturbing gall bladder fetish! Blood For Dracula (1974): Tired and sickly Count Dracula (Udo Kier) travels to Italy in search of a virgin bride. He and his domineering assistant Anton stumble across the supposedly virginal DiFiore family. Unfortunately the DiFiore daughters are less than virginal thanks to the determined efforts of servant Mario Balato (Joe Dallesandro) prompting the Count to bed all the sisters until he has found one with pure virgin blood.

• White Zombie | DVD | (14/07/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  The tale is set in a smouldering descimated post World War II world in the town of Meridian which has the Halperin brothers made White Zombie in just 11 days back in 1932 with $50 000 and sets left behind from Universal's Dracula and Frankenstein. Keeping dialogue to a minimum they wisely let the cameraman cut loose on this odd fairy tale avoiding the stagey static feel that pervades most early makes. White Zombie doesn't tell us a story when it can show us one. One of the most visua

• Halloween 5 - The Revenge Of Michael Myers | DVD | (28/01/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Starting around Halloween 4, that masked nut Michael Myers stopped chasing his sister (played by Jamie Lee Curtis in the first and second films, as well as Halloween H20) and went after his niece. Now hes chasing her around again in part 5, but its a lot of other people who die in the process. Donald Pleasence continues his mad-doctor bit from the earlier movies, Danielle Harris is the unfortunate relation, and Donald L. Shanks plays the monster. The film is an improvement on parts 2 and 4 (part 3 having nothing to do with Michael Myers), but it still amounts to routine slaughter with none of John Carpenters stylistic brilliance from the original movie. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• Darkman 2 - The Return Of Durant | DVD | (04/09/2000) from £5.35   |  Saving you £4.64 (86.73%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Sam Raimi created Darkman with a potential franchise in mind, and his original film had enough flair to suggest a sequel was warranted. Unfortunately (or perhaps wisely--for Raimi), he handed over the straight-to-video sequel duties to rookie director Bradford May, and nobody bothered to come up with much of a screenplay. As a result, Darkman II plays like a bad pilot for a proposed Darkman TV series, with Arnold Vosloo (best known as a villain in Jean-Claude Van Damme's Hard Target) doing his best to replace Liam Neeson in the title role, sporting a dastardly scar and delivering lacklustre punch lines as he kills his many enemies. Larry Drake returns from the first film as the villainous Durant, who wreaks havoc in his attempt to finance and manufacture the world's most destructive automatic weapons. As he supports the synthetic skin experiments of a like-minded scientist, the scarred hero known as Darkman thwarts Durant's ruthless plot, but the case proves costly for the intrepid crime reporter (Kim Delaney, pre-NYPD Blue) who allies herself with Darkman's efforts. Basically, this by-the-numbers plot serves as a tissue-thin vehicle for lots of explosions and gratuitous violence, and it's all about as inspired as a bad syndicated action show. This will be of interest only to those who were dazzled by the original Darkman, and even then it's a disappointment. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
