Movie Reviews of Scalps
Movie Review: A Pretty Good, But Dated Horror Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
I remember seeing "Scalps" years ago, but it was one of those infamous, chopped up versions, so I was pretty excited to see a restored version released on DVD. No, this isn't nearly the bloodfest that "Evil Dead" is, but considering it's time of release, "Scalps" was a pretty hardcore horror film. And there really wasn't a complete copy on video. Despite what some other reviewers say, this is still basically an 80's slasher, and that is a good thing, and that is probably what you want considering your reading reviews on "Scalps". The gore effects are pretty good, and the acting and story are pretty good too. "Scalps" has it's tense or scary moments. Overall I would recommend you add this to your horror collection if you are a fan of 80's horror. The only reason I would deduct any points from "Scalps" is that the movie desperately needs to smooth out the rough edges. Scenes will jump-cut to the next scene jarringly, and with the restoration and adding censored scenes in, it's obvious where the master print was played with. Still, "Scalps" is a cool little movie.Movie Review: non-pc B-movie gore
Summary: 3 Stars
Briefly, college students digging where they shouldn't. End result, student possessed by spirit of Black Claw, an avenging Native American spirit exacting his revenge via the forgotten art of scalping. A creepy movie with a very familiar theme (...). The film "stars" many of the director's standard cast - most of whom were key players/extras in later films (Tomb and Biohazard). Notable names include Forrest J Ackerman (B-movie bit playa) and... well just Ackerman.
This is the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, featuring a new letterboxed transfer, audio commentary by Fred Olen Ray and writer Lee (T.L.) Lankford, the original trailer, and an exclusive still gallery.
Movie Review: Evil Talks
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was banned in 99% of the world. They had to splice parts togather for nr version so it is rough going some times.
Don't take it to heart it's just an old movie!!!
Movie Review: insert clever title here
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie quite easily had the budget of the sweet kung fu short i shot in high school for my video and photo class.
the long and short of it: college kids are sent out to the middle of the desert (which doubles as a haunted, indian burial ground) to search for artifacts. a native spirit picks the terrible actors off one by one. there's a twist. sorta. kinda? eh.
the idea, while not entirely pc, is decent but it's execution is very hit or miss.
i will say that the scalping scene was cool. one of the coolest low budget gore scenes i've seen, actually.
the transfer ranges from ok to terrible. you're warned about this prior to the movie beginning. i won't fault this flick for that.
2.5 / 5
