Less than what I had hoped for,

This review is from: Euro-Fantastico: No Survivors Please & The Black Cobra (1963) (DVD)
No Survivors Please is an attempt at and intelligent SCI-Fi film from the paranoid 60's that was just too talky for me. It was an interesting attempt, but just didn't have enough "pop" for me. Black Cobra is a crime film that seems to meander around too much for my tastes. I may not have been smart enough to appreciate either of these, so keep that in mind.

Unusual Germanic Double Feature,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Euro-Fantastico: No Survivors Please & The Black Cobra (1963) (DVD)
VCI Entertainment has released an unusual double bill of German films from the early sixties building them up as fantastic cinema but only one has some Sci-Fi elements and both are hybrids of the Edgar Wallace thrillers which arose from West Germany at that time. First up is Directors Hans Albin and Peter Berneis's 'NO SURVIVORS,PLEASE'-1964, a film which in a way was ahead of its time utilizing aliens inhabiting dead politicians to invade Earth. Like a cross between Don Siegal's 'INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS' but without the pods and danger of falling asleep elements, the film closely resembles Director Romano Ferrara's Italian Sci-Fi opus 'PLANETS AGAINST US'- 1961 . The script is by Steve Szekely who also directed Britains 'THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS'-1963. Starring the beautiful Maria Perschy and Robert Cunningham, it resembles a film noirish 'OUTER LIMITS' episode with a surprising dose of female nudity to wake up the audience. Up next is Director Rudolf Zeretsgruber's 'THE BLACK COBRA'- 1963 which again resembles the Krimis that West Germany were flooding the European screens with at that time. The film emerges as a routine narcotics thriller with Euro actor/director Adrian Hoven playing an everyman hero mixed up in a drug delivery for a large syndicate. Included in the proceedings are Ann Smyrner along for the hot babe department , Germanic stalwart Wolfgang Preiss as,of course, the head of the syndicate and a surprising cameo by Klaus Kinski who plays a drug addicted Jazz pianist and plays it in his beautiful, slimy manner. The films are presented full screen in beautiful transfers which are a rarity these days and are highly recommended to all Euro film fans. VCI should be commended on releasing these films to modern day audiences in search of new thrills from the swinging Sixties.
