4.0 out of 5 stars The seed of the Dead Zone?, July 22, 2003

Okay, where have we heard this before? A man gets into an accident; when he gets out of the hopital he is gifted with psychic powers. Later, his powers take him to a small town (in Wisconsin but not really) to try to solve a series of bizzare murders that have the police stumped?

I like to imagine Stephen King saw this movie while in college and forgot about it, then later it grew into the Dead Zone. But that probably never happened.

I don't know, I like this movie. You have your psychic, your witch who is beautiful to the world but ugly to her lovers, your serial murderer, your inept police detectives, and LSD. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh yeah, you even have a ghost.

If you had to take one movie to a desert isle where there's no electricity to run your DVD player (or TV) anyway, you might as well make it this one, because, while it might not have everything, it has quite a bit packed into it.

Buy it now!

The DVD has the usual assortment of delightful extras that Something Weird has accustomed you to. Plus, the commentary track is the history of Something Weird Video! There is no way you can pass this DVD up and still look at yourself in the mirror!

2.0 out of 5 stars A WEAK H. G. LEWIS EXPERIENCE, July 15, 2000

By 

ROBERT E BERRY JR - See all my reviews

This review is from: Something Weird (DVD)

First thing,As a big fan of all the Herschell Gordon Lewis films I have found so far,I could barely wait to see this one,it sounded real interesting.Well...it is interesting,and funny.But it does bring a new meaning to the term "wooden indian acting"(and sometimes overacting).It's the story of a guy with ESP and his deal w/a witch to restore his beauty,and a psycho on the loose...ah what else? Oh yeah LSD.Anyway it's all a bit of a mess,but fans of this stuff expect that,it's just not as good as the Blood Trilogy or The Wizard Of Gore.And now to the rest of the DVD.Something Weird Video usually does a great job w/their H. G.Lewis special editions,but this time the whole thing is sunk by a LOUSY adio commentary where Lewis only speaks for about 10 minutes and is brushed aside so you can here the riveting and terribly recorded story of SW Video.A total bore.There is some pretty good old cheap short subjects about acid,but all and all,a letdown for only the most die hard fans.

Yes the 60s were awesome during which I did not know I was one degree of separation and three thousand miles from the cinematographer of "Something Weird". The film was shot straight to 35 mm in two weeks for $35,000. I concur with Jeffery Leach that the movie has everything but that's not it.

It's the commentary that puts it over the top. Turn it on and listen to men totally in the moment talking about the movies I watched every summer Saturday - 5 cents when I was a little person. Too bad I can't be in Nova Scotia today and partake in conversation with two of the old movie makers. One, the first knight of ignorance, the other, the cinematographer of something weird. I understand one is sailing and the other is returning to Hollywood to the good fight. It's all flux and movement. Film is on the way out but not till these cinematographers die. I wish I could have joined them, told some lies, heard some truths, I did what I could - I watched the video. I recommend you do the same. At least once turn the COMMENTARY ON.
