2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing... No Hotties... Not scary... But Gorgeous DVD transfer from Severin, November 18, 2006

This review is from: Mansion of the Living Dead (DVD)

This was disappointing. It is Jess Franco's sexploitation take on George Romero's "Living Dead" films. For me, a sexploitation film needs one thing above all else: Beautiful women! Sadly, the women here are a far cry from the "Hotties" advertised on the back cover. They look more like 4 middle-aged, plumpish looking housewives on vacation (Lina Romay had put on quite a bit of weight at this time). To be fair, this boils down to personal taste - if you like older, Rubenesque women, then these'll appeal to you. Sadly the film doesn't work on the horror front either. The undead Monks of Cathar are not in the least bit scary. Seeing them in their Halloween masks is in fact quite funny. Amazon's description "jaw-dropping saga of sex and sadism" is a laugh. Nowhere close. "Lesbian lust?" Hmm... I couldn't wait for it to be over. I'm not sure where they got their idea of "extreme sadism" from. About the closest thing to kinky S&M was Eva Leon in a dog collar and chain. Don't get your hopes up. She's not exactly young or pretty and she doesn't suffer very much except for being put on a forced diet by her husband who thinks she's getting too plump. The photography however is lovely, aided by the scenic locale - Gran Canaria in the Spanish Canary Islands.

Severin deserves praise for taking the trouble to fully restore and remaster this pretty obscure film to pristine glory. It is presented in its original 2.35:1 OAR (Anamorphic). It looks absolutely gorgeous. The print is clean and near flawless. The image is sharp. Colors are rich, vibrant and always natural. It makes it a pleasure to watch. Sound is in the original Spanish 2.0 Mono with optional English subtitles. Still, a rental at most. Buy only if you're a Jess Franco fan and need to complete your collection. Personally I prefer his classic sexploitation films from the 1970s.

2.0 out of 5 stars Neither erotic nor horror, October 19, 2007

This review is from: Mansion of the Living Dead (DVD)

I am not a fan of Jess Franco and Mansion of the living dead is the second of his movies I have seen. The movie has some innovative ideas when combining horror and erotism but it does not deliver either. It was a disappointing experience for me.
