Movie Reviews of The Del Tenney Double Feature
Movie Review: "Curse of the Living Corpse" Is Too Good a Movie to Share a DVD with "Horror of Party Beach"
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a shame that "Horror of Party Beach" and "Curse of the Living Corpse" were shown together as a double feature at drive-in theatres in 1963. I wish Dark Skys hadn't put them on the same DVD. "Horror of Party Beach" is definitely a campy, silly, unrealistic B-movie from an era when beach movies were popular. However, it does have a very high body count and some gruesome killings. If only the creatures looked more realistic. Are those bananas sticking out of their mouths?
According to director Del Tenney, the critics praised "Curse of the Living Corpse" but hated "Horror of Party Beach." I'm not surprised.
"Curse of the Living Corpse" is the reason why I bought the DVD and it shouldn't have to share the DVD with anything else. It stands alone as a great Gothic horror classic: a late 1800s setting; a large, old home with secret passageways; a mausoleum; a bog with quicksand; and a masked killer murdering greedy relatives one by one. You can't ask for anything better than this. There are imaginative death sequences and some tension. Like many Italian gialli, the killer's identity isn't shown until the end of the movie. As a child, I saw only the ending of the movie on television but never could get it out of my mind. At long last, I was able to watch it in its entirety.
"Curse of the Living Corpse" is almost on a par with a Hammer production but the settings and costumes are not quite as lavish. This DVD is definitely worth the money for anyone who likes old, gothic horror. Just consider "Horror of Party Beach" a special bonus or ignore it entirely. There are commentary, subtitles, and theatrical trailers for "Curse of the Living Corpse."
Summary of The Del Tenney Double Feature
Horror of Party Beach "Weird atomic beasts...who live off human blood!" prey in the 1960s cult classic once referred to as "The First Horror Monster Musical." A drag race between hot rodders and bikers winds up at a swingin' rock-and-roll beach party. Nearby, a barrel containing radioactive waste is unloaded from a passing ship, and plunged to the bottom of the sea. When it splits against a jagged rock, black liquid oozes onto a human skull. Suddenly, a vicious monster slowly twitches into life, and THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH is born! Curse of the Living Corpse In the true "Old Dark House" tradition comes THE CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE, an early gore pic known as one of the first "slasher" films ever made! New England, 1892. Family patriarch Rufus Sinclair has recently died and is comfortably resting in his crypt ? or is he? His bickering relatives assemble at the Sinclair estate for the reading of his will, which includes a number of strict demands to be followed to the letter. If not, Sinclair threatens to return to life and kill each of them in the manner that they fear most! Naturally, no one listens to the ominous warning and one by one, the murders occur in the most grotesque methods imaginable!Horror DVD Video
