Great Movie - Garbage DVD, January 28, 2005
This review is from: Bad (DVD)
These DVDs are corrupted and do not play properly. I received the first defective DVD on Fri, 14 Jan 2005 and contacted the Seller. The Seller told me I needed to return the defective DVD before they would ship a replacement. I noticed on the Amazon merchant reviews that several people have had this same problem and I asked the Seller if they did indeed have copies which worked. They promised that they did have working DVDs and that they would ship one as soon as they received the defective DVD. Reluctantly I spent an additional $3 to ship the DVD back to the Seller. Today (Fri, 28 Jan 2005) I received the replacement DVD. This DVD is also defective with the identical manufacturing flaws. Evidentially Cheezy Flicks has no QC department to check their products. The DVD is quite obviously a bootleg/DVD-R copy of a worn out VHS tape. We play DVD-R's quite frequently on both our DVD systems, so it isn't a compatibility issue. The DVD will not load automatically when placed in the machine. When inserted into the machine, the DVD freezes and the number "9" appears on the DVD player. After pressing Play many times, the menu eventually appears. We were able to play the movie about 2/3 of the way through but there were constant pixilation and corruption problems all the way through. Then around Chapter 10 the DVD stops completely. Also, none of the other options on the menu work. For example, pressing "Other titles offered by Cheezy Flicks" causes the DVD to stop. The DVD and the replacement were both defective. Wait for the legitimate release. Don't waste your money on these.

Great Movie/Cheezy dvd., March 26, 2005
This review is from: Bad (DVD)
I originally saw this movie at my colleges student union hall in 1977 and loved it.As cult movie fan I always wanted to own it and was very happy to find and purchase a dvd version on Amazon in early Dec.04.However,3 defective dvds later(shipping the first 2 back at my own expense),and numerous unanswered emails.It's now Mar.05.Thank you Amazon for refunding my purchase.One reviewer suggested that Cheezy Flicks is missing a quality control dept,I feel they may be lacking a cutomer service dept as well.Buyers please check the feedback on this seller before you make a purchase.Once again this is a great movie and I would love to see a vialbe dvd version available.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Funny, twisted, August 8, 2000
Very John Waters-esque, darkly funny comedy about a housewife (Carroll Baker) who supplements her income as a hair remover by running a murder racket, specializing in hit ladies who take out kids and animals. Sick and bizarre, but very straight-faced: if you have the sense of humor for this sort of thing, it's loads of fun. And probably the best mainstream feature to carry Warhol's name. (Although, despite what the previous review says, the film is not directed by longtime Warhol associate Paul Morrissey -- it was Jed Johnson this time around -- and there is no South African surfer bedding anyone. Perry King doesn't sleep with any guys this time around, and Baker vents her sexual frustration in abject cruelty towards everyone around her.)
