Maybe your parents told you that you were delivered by a stork, or grew in a cabbage patch. Well, director Craig Goodwill decided to explore a world in which those stories are true, but also much darker than you imagined. The result is the very odd, Gilliam-esque semi-musical <i>Patch Town</i><p> Rob Ramsay plays Jon, a dissatisfied worker at Patch Enterprises, a huge, secretive toy manufacturer. Jon's job is to pull newly formed babies from their incubating cabbages, rinse them off, and send them off onto a conveyor belt where they can be converted to dolls. He and his wife Mary (Stephanie Pitsiladis) have wanted a child for years, and at great personal risk, Jon is able to smuggle one out of the factory to raise as their own. Others aren't so lucky. If they get caught, they are sent for reeducation.<p>Witnessing a couple being...<a href="https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review/68948">Read the entire review</a></p>

Mike has been on a multi-year bender, distraught over the disappearance and presumed death of his secretary and partner Velda. He's dragged into a hospital by former friend and police captain Pat Chambers (Scott Peters). There's a dying man who has vital information who says he'll only talk to Hammer. The dying man tells Mike that Velda is still alive, and is being hunted by trained assassin The Dragon. This revelation brings Mike out of his funk, and he sobers up and gets back on the job determined to find Ve...<a href="https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review/69746">Read the entire review</a></p>

And a big reason that <i>Castle</i>, starring Stana Katic as hard charging detective Kate Beckett, and Nathan Fillion as fun loving mystery writer Richard Castle, has lasted for seven seasons is because it is so willing to have fun. And it doesn't hurt that its stars are incredibly personable and welcoming.<p> Each season of Castle has an overarching master story that ties it together. In the past, it has been the search for the mysterious murderer of Beckett's mother. For season seven, it's the mysterious kidnapping and prolonged disappearance of Castle himself, on the very day of his wedding to Beckett. That mystery gets resolved (mostly) in episode 20, but it reverberates all throughout the season in its consequences, and juicy hints to what might have happened abound.<p>All of the familiar characters a...<a href="https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review/69074">Read the entire review</a></p>

So, now we have a vampire musical, and it is largely what you would expect it to be, though to give credit where it's due, there's plenty of blood and gore, and it is well done.<p> Burt (Kevin Scott Richardson) is a flamboyant vampire, who can't quite keep his urges in control. His friend Todd (Brandon Heitkamp) explicitly says that he doesn't want to get turned, but Burt chases him down an alley anyway, bites, sucks, etc. and turns Todd anyway. Todd's girlfriend Connie (Diva Zappa) takes exception to this, and tries to incite the crowd at the strip club she works at to kill Burt. Anti-vampire prejudice is strong, and the crow complies, or tries to. Burt ends up killing most of them, and turning Connie, who finds that she prefers "life"...<a href="https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review/69100">Read the entire review</a></p>

It's a common refrain, and perhaps it is relevant to Nico Mastorakis' 1976 exploitation masterpiece <i>Island of Death</i>, except it's fairer to say that no one ever made them like this, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.<p> After seeing <i>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre</i> with a friend and hearing how much money it made, Mastorakis decided that he would make a movie for even cheaper, and have it be even more outrageous, believing he was sure to make a profit. He was right.<p>The story, such as it is, revolves around a couple, Christopher and Celia (Robert Behling and Jane Lyle) who travel to Mykonos in search of some kicks. Unfortunately, the kind of kicks they enjoy are not exactly in line with the current mores of the tiny island they are visiting. Christopher in particular is a religious fundamentalist (though hypocritically viola...<a href="https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review/69673">Read the entire review</a></p>

In particular, the "prison fight" movie sits comfortably in the exploitation end of the sub-genre. But still, there have been some fun examples, and <i>Vendetta</i>, from Jen and Sylvia Soska, continues this tradition with Dean Cain as an embittered cop facing off against Paul "The Big Show" Wight's gang boss.<p> Cain plays detective Mason Danvers. He's on the trail of gangster Victor Abbot, played by Wight. He nabs Abbot and his brother, but they both get let out on a technicality. Abbot then kills Danvers wife in revenge. So, of course, Danvers then kills Abbot's brother, making sure that the cops arrive right after and there's plenty of evidence to convict him. He then pulls some strings to make sure to be sent to the same prison Abbot is in. Danvers, you see, is b...<a href="https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review/69110">Read the entire review</a></p>

In an effort to bring a whole mess of "true" haunting and supernatural stories together, the History Channel has put out <i>Poltergeists: Real-Life Hauntings</i>, which has six documentaries totally about five hours that deal with poltergeists, Voodoo, ghosts, and more.<p> All of these documentaries are History Channel productions, some longer format TV docs, and some just episodes of History Channel shows that happen to touch on the supernatural. Not all of them relate to poltergeists, despite the title, and the quality is mixed, but there is some actually interesting material here.<p><u>Poltergeists</u> and <u>Hauntings</u> are both episodes of <i>The Unexplained</i>, and are probably the weakest of the segments included.

Well, in the late seventies the folks at Midia Cinematografica thought, "What if we added even more pointless sex?" And thus, the poorly thought out, but still enjoyable, thriller <i>Play Motel</i> was born.<p> The titular Play Motel is an upscale location for the well off to meet for anonymous trysts with willing partners. Unbeknownst to these well to do romantics, the place is run by notorious pornographer Max Ligouri (Marino Mase), who secretly takes photos of his guests while they play and uses the results for blackmail. The cops are suspicious of Ligouri, especially after a number of young women connected to the case are murdered, but they can't seem to get any proof.<p>Luckily, Rob...<a href="https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review/69475">Read the entire review</a></p>

It's been a couple of years since then, and he's lost all of his friends, who suspect that he in fact killed his wife. Tired of living life this way, and apparently squeamish about suicide, he puts out a contract on his own life. He works with an intermediary, so he doesn't know the identity of the killer, but his outlook on life gets much brighter once the deal is made.

You don't have to be perfect, but you do have to at least attempt to meet those expectations. This film didn't.<p> <i>Zombies From Outer Space</i> is a German production, set in rural Germany in 1947. There's a large American military base in the area, and most of the soldiers have a crush on Maria (Judith Gorgass), who makes her rounds in the community selling produce from her family's farm. Her life gets a little crazy when she finds a dead girl on one of her rounds. More girls start turning up dead.

It's an incisive look into a little known sub-culture. It's an emotional exploration. It's shocking. It's funny. It's bloody. It's also fascinating.<p> The film is about human suspension. If you're not sure what that is, it's people who insert hooks into their flesh, and then attach ropes to the hooks and raise themselves into the air. Hence, they are suspended. There's a fairly well organized and mature community around suspension, and it's this that Shenton explores. She focuses on several suspension clubs, mostly in England, but also in Croatia and Norway. She films suspensions in gymnasium like environments, in the woods, in clubs, and much more.<p> <img src="http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/images/reviews/261/1437010249_2.jpg" width="267" height="400">The real key to <i>On Tender Hooks</i> is that Shenton herself is ...<a href="https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/review/69302">Read the entire review</a></p>

The German expressionists had a wonderful visual style and a knack for storytelling. So why, one might ask, would someone want to make a silent black and white film now? It's a question worth asking to the producers of <i>Lilith, A Vampire Who Comes Back</i>, because that's exactly what they did, with very mixed results.<p> Baron Ludwig (Tanivo Golino) was a happy man, wed to his beautiful wife Lusilla (Cinzia Susino), but then she died and he took to wandering around the town, morose, paying little attention to his disreputable servant Balduin (Emanuele Giammusso) whose hobbies seem to be seducing naïve village girls and then murdering them.

Another horror movie set in a mental institution." And that certainly appears to be how the film is being marketed, but it's not really a standard entry in the genre. It's much more.<p> Set in an Australian mental institution in the Sixties, we are introduced to George Kilner (Guy Edmonds), who suffers from mental illness, possibly due to horrible abuse he suffered as a child and the trauma of his mother's suicide. He voluntarily commits himself to Bedlam Hospital, run by haughty German Dr. Black (Peter McAllum). He soon runs into the other inmates, most of whom are not ‘voluntary commits'. Cutter (Gary Boulter), so called because of his tendency for self-harm, has the cell next to George's.

He's certainly earned his place in the schlock horror canon, so his next to last film, <i>Island of the Living Dead</i> is worth a look, though it's definitely not good, even by Mattei's standards.<p> The film starts off in the past.
