Movie Reviews of Drive-In Cult Classics - 8 Movie Set
Movie Review: This is gonna take awhile...
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this weeks ago at the current $5 asking price on amazon. Just barely bothered to finish the last of the eight so i decided to write my own impressions. Its been awhile since i've seen all so i might make a mistake or two. I'm not sure how to review this(do i factor in the $5 price, the exploitation angle, the cheese-to-entertainment ratio? I don't know), so i'm just gonna slap a 5-star rating and give my impressions of each and let you decide.
* The Sister-In-Law: Arguably the only thing in this set that could be mistaken for a film. It starts off like a sexploitation, and i would've been happy at that. But it veers off into a mafia crime-drama of sorts. I would've been annoyed at that, but i was already caught up in the story and characters to care at that point. And the ending. Not sure how others felt, but i was very satisfied with how it ended. Definitely worth a watch.
* Malibu High: Arguably the most entertaining, and goofiest movie out of all of them. Exploitive, cheesy, and mostly enjoyable; it's also very off-kilter. The lead actress at times looked and acted as if she was from a 60's movie, while most of the others were from a 70's movie. The styles/settings looked as if they ranged from the late 60's, to the 70's, and even early 80's, to me anyway. I guess that's why it was so oddly compelling to watch. Well, that and the crazy hooker-turns-hit-woman plot. Worth a watch.
* Cindy and Donna: Here it is. This is what you were looking for when you bought this set. It's cheap and cheesy, but if you wanted sexploitation(softcore), you found it. Whether it's the subject matter(incest/promiscuity/etc), the softcore scenes(i lost count), or the actresses(creepily young), it's all here. Worth a watch, and shower afterwards.
Those 3 are worth the $5 admission price in my opinion. Next...
* The Stepmother: Winner of what could've been. The lead actress is extremely cute. Problem is the movie plays out more like a detective drama than a sexploitation. Btw, there is this pool table seduction scene that is kinda hot, but it abruptly ends! Either it was poorly edited, or this is a cut version. Like i said, with such a hot lead actress, what could've been. Still worth a watch.
* Trip with the Teacher: I'm not into rape scenes, and there are a few non-explicit ones in this, so i felt uncomfortable watching it. But for those who like that sorta thing, it's there. Not graphically, but it's there. The ensemble works well together. Exploitive all-around, so worth a watch, i guess.
Those two are worth a watch for the most part. So there's your 5 hard-earned bucks right there. Next...
* Best Friends: This is ok if you want to see Apollo from Battlestar Galactica make out a couple of times. Not very exploitive and drags a bit, but still worth a watch maybe as the performers try their best with the material given.
* The Teacher: Disappointingly NOT exploitive. Except for a few minor scenes, it looks like it could've been a tv movie-of-the-week. The lead actress looks great, but the movie itself was slow and uneventful to me. Barely worth a watch.
* Pick-Up: My least favorite. I suppose if you were part of the 70's, high, and into 'artsy' pretentious films you would enjoy this. Problem is, i don't remember the 70's much, was not high or drunk while viewing this, and the ending just made me feel cheated. But you paid for this 8-pack, so go for it.
The last 3 i didn't find very exploitive, entertaining, or interesting but that's just me. Apparently there are some fans of The Teacher and The Pick Up so who knows, i might be too hard on them. All 8 films are obviously of varying pic/sound quality with The Teacher maybe looking the best and Best Friends looking the worst. The set i bought came on one dvd case, so it's very convenient and a space saver. And since these aren't AFI film classics, you won't mind the 2-sided discs. Overall, I'd recommend this set, for $5 or less.
