Well, Savant's big editorial push is subsiding at last, so he'll be back on the review trail a bit more consistently now .... and we start off with a weird compilation of music videos, and another MGM Midnite Movies double Feature.

Image Entertainment's Aria was neither the cinematic landmark nor the erotic fantasia the poster promised, but it is pretty interesting, especially Ken Russell's section. Ten visual directors take on a favorite Aria each, interpreting it in the style of a music video.

MGM's double-bill disc of Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? and What's the Matter with Helen? are a weird pair of psychodramas involving aging actresses in madness and murder. Except for Debbie Reynolds, who refuses to look old, or crazy either. Directed by the always-worthwhile Curtis Harrington.

Next up, two shockers from Image: Devil Doll and Shock Waves .... ! Glenn Erickson
