3.0 out of 5 stars The thrill here is SKIN, October 13, 2008

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

BCI's AFTER DARK THRILLERS consists of two double-side recorded DVDs with two movies per side. Transfer quality of these unrestored films is adequate.

SYNOPSES--

BLUE MONEY-- NOT the 1985 Tim Curry film. This one stars Alain Patrick as a man whose involvement in adult filmmaking is his undoing.

CLICK-- When a fashion photographer brings some models to a remote ranch to shoot some "snuff" pics, a crossdressing psycho killer "nurse" targets the girls. Slow first hour is washed away by gore afterward.

DOUBLE EXPOSURE-- The police and a shrink suspect that a fashion fotog who has recurrent nightmares of slaying his scantily-clad models may be the slasher terrorizing their city.

FRENCH QUARTER-- Bruce Davison, Virginia Mayo and all the primary actors have dual roles in this story of a girl relocated to the Crescent City for the sake of work who dreams she lives in the 19th Century. Fine jazz soundtrack accompanies this unique story.

HOT TARGET-- Titillating tale of American woman married to a Kiwi who takes up with a fellow Yank cat burglar. Story is incidental to the numerous bedroom scenes.

NIGHT CLUB-- Young couple spend their last dollar then borrow from a mobster to finish converting an abandoned warehouse into a club. When business is poor they're hard-pressed to pay back the usurious loan.

PICK-UP-- Two hippie girls hitch a ride on a cool dude's mobile home bus. The three get lost in the Everglades after some bad weather.

SEPARATE WAYS-- Great cast in this story of a bored married couple who are both having affairs.


For some gangland thrills, check out the nine films on ST. CLAIR's MOB MOVIES box set.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor collection of titles, July 30, 2009

By	Stephen M. Kopian (GLEN HEAD, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really didn't like this collection of films. Part of the problem is that several of the films really aren't thrillers Separate Ways for example is more a domestic drama of a marriage in trouble, while Night Club is drama about trying to open a night club.

Mostly I didn't like this set because I really didn't like any of the films. In all honesty this is probably the first collection of films like this where I really didn't like any of the films enough to even contemplate watching any of them again. The best film in the set is Separate Ways, with a French Quarter a close second (its ruined by over use of an annoying lens filter). Those were the only two of the 8 films that I actually watched all the way to the end without hitting the fast forward. The remaining six films were an endurance test for me and what was to be several nights viewing turned into a single evening marathon as I scanned through this truly poor collection of films. After the third bad film I just wanted to find a thriller that I was going to make the effort worth it. None of them really are.

I know that the cost of the set is rather cheap, but unless you have a reason for looking for one of the films included I'd take a pass and pick up another set instead. Frankly I only paid five bucks for this and to be perfectly honest I feel ripped off.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother!, July 20, 2008

By	Hussein In The Membrane "Got any change?" (Warner Robins, GA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

My Mom used to tell me "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." But then Mom never saw these awful flicks, and I'm sure she would understand if I just give you a very brief warning.

A few words jump immediately to mind when trying to think of ways to describe the movies in this set. Mom WOULDN'T understand though, if I were to use those words here in a public forum, so let me use these instead...

Vapid... Worthless... Boring... Mindless... 80s girl bands at yuppie parties... UGH! The acting is horrible, and the stories could have been written by 5th graders.

I know it's only six and a half bucks, but please, make a contribution to your favorite charity, or go buy a couple packs of cigarettes and start smoking, or do anyting other than wasting your money on this box of vapid, worthless, boring, mindless tripe!

You have been warned!
