((mostly 1950s) Sci-fi and Horror gems)

『First, this is a great disc for demonstrating that Henry Mancini might have come to have a very different public image if Blake Edwards had not happened along! Hardly anyone knows that he began on Universal horror films. Second, Amazon has given him composer credit for every track here, but he did only two of them.

These tracks are not from original soundtrack recordings, but the performances by Dick Jacobs's Orchestra are spirited and competent and sound great - very 1950s. There isn't much available, actually, which IS 1950s horror or sci-fi, so this is a welcome collection just in that regard. Where else would one find anything from THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, for example? The sound quality is immediate and dry in the way of pop records of the time, so don't expect to hear anything at all here similar to the huge, lush, Romantic recordings done by Charles Gerhardt beginning in the 1970s.

Although all of the selections are enjoyable, my favorites are the Salter and the Stein CREATURE excerpts (Salter's ascending 3-note motive for the "gill-man" is particularly memorable), the ferocious Dracula theme from James Bernard's HORROR OF DRACULA (first Hammer Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing Dracula film) and William Lava's title for THE DEADLY MANTIS. In fact, if it were not for this disc, I probably would never have realized that Lava had done the MANTIS score, because it is only the name of Joseph Gershensen, the musical director, which appeared in the film's opening credits.

This CD has a very short running time - less than 29 minutes. That upset me at first - enough, in fact, that I wrote to Varese Sarabande to complain, but I've since changed my mind. The time is short because 1) the original LP was short as was typical during the 1950s and 60s, and 2) for this re-release, Varese has excised sound effects which opened and/or closed the musical selections. Those that remain are not, in my opinion, obtrusive.
』

(This CD delivers the shivers)

『Nothing underscores the tempo and mood of a movie like good soundtrack music. In this CD, the listener is treated to a wonderful mix of genre music from Science Fiction and Horror films. Orchestra conductor Dick James makes the most out of instrument placement, musical arrangement and stereo separation.

If there is a downside, it can only be the absence of a theremin in"This Island Earth"and"It Came From Outer Space."Jacob opts for a jazz organ as an adequate substitute.

The only other problem is the occasional squeaky chair noises the musicians make. But this tends to give the music a"live"sound rather than studio perfection.

All in all, this is a wonderful collection that would accompany late night science fiction or horror reading perfectly.』

(Halloween Treat From The Legendary Team Of Rankin And Bass)

『The creative partnership of Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass were responsible for the creation of some of the most delightful holiday specials for television in the 1960's and early 1970's, with their Christmas and Easter offerings such as "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" now regarded as bona fide classics by successive generations of fans. The team produced only one "Halloween" themed story in the totally delightful "The Mad Monster Party" and it without fail every year made an appearance on our television during the holiday. Although Halloween itself is not really mentioned in the storyline of "Mad Monster Party" itself the combination of ghouls, favourite monsters from movie history and the marvellous Boris Karloff (voice only) make this film an ideal way to celebrate this holiday. Filmed in the wonderfully visual stop motion "Animagic" process so beloved of fans of this teams work "Mad Monster Party" like all Rankin and Bass specials boasts a first rate vocal team bringing the ghoulish characters in the story to life. Here we have the unusual combination of movie horror legend Boris Karloff providing the voice for Baron Von Frankenstein combined with funny lady Phyllis Diller voicing the other major character of the Monster's "Mate". The pair really make this film so enjoyable with their contrasting styles with Karloff's smoothly sinister delivery contrasting beautifully opposite Phyllis Diller's distinctive voice mannerisms. "Mad Monster party" is one of the very best of the Rankin and Bass efforts and shows the teams creative skills at their absolute peak making this ghoulish little effort which keeps it's tongue firmly planted in its cheek, an ideal way to enjoy Halloween evening..』

(I love this movie!)

『I was so happy with this transaction! I was looking for this movie and here it was and for a great price! I would buy from this seller again anytime!』

(monstamash relation?)

『just ok film which is the 1&only w/ the pet blob in its dog house brief scene near the end; dont know if it inspired the song monstermash or vice versa, still, unknown.』

(great classic)

『I admit I didn't open it yet, but I grew up watching Rankin&Bass animated shows and enjoy them so I'm sure I'll like this too!』

(It's (almost) alive!)

『Remember on Halloween when someone invariably handed out a pack of crayons or a small bag of pennies to trick-or-treaters? You were probably a little confused at first, then a little disappointed, but you probably used the crayons or spent the pennies anyway. Mad Monster Party is like Halloween crayons to me - not very exciting but certainly adequate.

The Pros: The sets and character designs are awesome - very detailed with
some mod 1960's touches (the Monster's Mate rocks a pair of white go-go
boots). The send-ups of classic Hollywood monster movies can be quite funny and clever, and the tongue-in-cheek nihilism of the ending makes for a memorable finale. In terms of the image and sound quality of the DVD, nothing seems to have been lost in the transfer from the original print and in fact may have enhanced the original audio/video experience.

The Cons: In between the gags and humorous references lies filler in a plot costume. In my opinion, the plot here is a distraction - Dr. Frankenstein is ready to retire and chooses his nebbishy nephew Felix as his heir. The monsters disapprove and in a series of alliances and betrayals attempt to exterminate the interloper. It's all rather uninteresting to me and kind of superfluous as the best parts (the titular party where a skeletal band plays and a monstrous food fight takes place; the picnic in the jungle where Dracula unsuccessfully tries to ambush Felix) seem to happen extraneous to the plot. In addition to the weak plot, the songs are tolerable but not very memorable. I doubt you'll be humming these tunes after the credits roll.

If you happen to find this DVD in your Halloween goodie bag, appreciate it for what it is, have a little chuckle, groove to the retro score, then gorge on the fat and calories of richer Halloween treats like Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride.』
『Love the classic monsters Frankenstein, the Mummy, Dr. Jekyll, the Creature, Dracula, the Werewolf, and the Invisible Man? They're all here in this animated, 90-minute video--and so are the vocal talents of Boris Karloff and Phyllis Diller. After discovering the secret of destruction, Baron von Frankenstein is retiring as head of the World Wide Organization of Monsters. He's handpicked his mortal nephew Felix to be his successor, and his fellow monsters are less than pleased. Even though Felix politely declines to carry on this family tradition, the monsters band together and double-cross one another in comic attempts to expel Felix from the group.

The "Rankin/Bass Animagic process" of using stop-motion photography with three-dimensional figures makes this video a visual feast for animation buffs, but it is outdated compared to modern animation techniques. Humorous details, like the count looking into a mirror to comb his hair and seeing only his comb reflected, permeate the video and will have viewers chuckling out loud and on alert for potential missed laughs. This video is best for children from about 5 to 12 years old or adults who want to reminisce over a movie viewed in their childhood.--Tami Horiuchi』

(Be prepared for emotions)

『This movie is plain sad - and, I don't mean the movie in general - this is a {Class A} Godzilla movie, however, the only Godzilla movie that brought me to tears. Yes, I know it is only a movie, and Godzilla is just a man in a rubber suit - but, still... the ending sequence of the movie, where a flock of birds are made to lure poor Godzilla into a volcano, to supposedly die, well, it's just damn heart-wrenching!!! I swear, I cry every time at the end, and of course the ending music's sad as well, just makes it hard not to cry. Yes, I'm a 37 year old woman, and I cry to a dang Godzilla movie - so, I can't help it. The only other movie that makes me cry is at the ending of Dot and the Kangaroo - so, there you go.』

(GODZILLA FANS UNITE - BRING 1985 TO DVD!)

『THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GODZILLA MOVIES EVER MADE! WHY HAS THIS ONE BEEN LONG OVERLOOKED FOR DVD RELEASE? GET ON THE STICK AND GET THIS DONE!』

("When Mankind Falls Into Conflict With Nature Monsters Are Born.")

『Thirty years later and it's still about radiation and models.

"Godzilla 1985" is a slightly updated version of the classic Godzilla movie: it's still a guy in a big rubber suit stomping around detailed models, and he's still embroiled in a plot with heavy-handed doses of the Japanese skepticism of radiation. (Given their history, I don't blame them.)

Here Godzilla once again emerges from the sea, and poses a peril to mankind. The Soviets defy the wishes of the Japanese government and launch a nuclear weapon at Godzilla despite the fact that he happens to be in Tokyo at the time. Collateral damage, anyone? The US military fortunately dispatches the Soviet missile with a missile of their own, while consulting with Raymond Burr who is reprising his role as Steve Martin. Burr advises that firepower is not the answer, and that a deeper understanding of Godzilla's motives are key to defeating him. With that in mind they immediately plan to lure Godzilla into a volcano.

Along the way we get to see some special effect typical of the genre. My personal favorite is the "Super-X" secret levitating craft, although Godzilla's encounters with the model boats, helicopters, planes, and buildings are still fun to watch. The best laugh of the movie comes from the drunk guy running from Godzilla after mistaking him for a restaurant waiter repeatedly. (I'm not making that up.) There is another customary device in this movie, namely, everyone in Japan seems to know everybody else. True to form, plot contrivances abound here.

The movie ends with Godzilla in the volcano, although we aren't totally sure whether or not lava can destroy him, as there is always another sequel right around the corner. Please note the sanctimonious voiceover work from Burr during the volcano-luring: it really wants to be deep, but it just doesn't work given the ridiculous onscreen image.

This is a great resurrection of the Godzilla franchise after a decade-long break. It is enjoyable if you like the giant-monster-attacks-models genre, which I do. For those fans I recommend the film wholeheartedly.』

(The legend completed)

『OMG, you have to get to the last scene and the closing theme. Man, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. This is, clearly, not so much the legend reborn reinventing of the Godzilla myth that we'll see in the later series so much is it is the final say in the Godzilla we'd known and loved through the 60's and 70's; this film owes far more to the Kaiju of "Mosura" or "Smog Monster" than to the later epics. For one thing, this is probably the last time when SCIENCE is the hero, triumphing over beasts of men and monsters despite the lack of government funding ;)

True, the special effects in this film are a departure from the 70's fare, but that's what makes this film so special in the Godzilla cannon: It has the FEEL of a modern film but it has the ETHOS of the classical era. It is at once very modern and also quite at home with even the Godzilla's Revenge entries. I waited a long time to see this one (20 years!) and I was not disappointed. This film is, in many respects, "the missing link".

But that last bit, as soon as the techobeat started, I knew it was 1985 all over again, and when the lyrics hit? ... I'm still giggling. First class Godzilla, five thumbs up if I had them.』

(Ouch)

『There's not a lot to say about this movie except that the music is bad, the Godzilla costume is sad, his roar is terrible, and the story stinks.』
『In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the originalGodzillafilm, the lizard king returned to the big screen after a decade of inactivity for this 16th Godzilla feature. Originally released in Japan in 1984 asThe Return of Godzilla, this modern sequel sweeps away decades of sequels and even recaptures the awe and grandeur of the original film, while adding modern technology and increased military firepower. But let's not get too carried away: this is ultimately a classic Japanese monster movie, and the best moments are the Big G's rampages through Tokyo, knocking over buildings and crushing cars and trains underfoot. It's still a guy in a suit stomping through lovingly detailed miniatures, and by American standards it'll always have that delightfully cheesy camp element, but this painstakingly crafted affair is one of the easier such efforts to take seriously. And fear not, you can't keep Godzilla down for long: he returns inGodzilla vs. Biollante. American distributor New World Pictures dubbed and trimmed the Japanese version while adding new American scenes featuring Raymond Burr, who reprises his role as reporter Steven Martin from the originalGodzilla.The videotape also features Marv Newland's goofy animated short spoofBambi Meets Godzilla.--Sean Axmaker』

(Antics run high)

『Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Thomas F. Wilson and Lea Thompson gave an entertaining watch in this sequel to the Back To The Future franchise. Robert Zemeckis embraces the fun and the antics and I really enjoy his ability to tell a story.』

(back to future II)

『Very enjoyable - more complex than other 2: watch all three several times: you'll pick up something new.』

(We gotta go back in time to save the future that we messed up when someone went back to the past and screwed it up. Yep.)

『The day after Marty gets back from 1955, Doc leaves in the time machine to go the future to the year 2015, only to return seconds later (though much more time has passed for Doc). Something terrible happens in the future to Marty's son. Thankfully Marty and his son are the spitting image of each other so Doc has come up with a plan to have Marty take the place of his son for a few minutes to make a correct decision to prevent the bad incident from happening. But while they are in the future, the Biff we know from 1955 and 1985 overhears Marty and Doc talking about their time machine. So Biff decides to change his crappy life by stealing the time machine and going back to 1955 with a sports almanac with all the winners of every sport up to the year 2000. So when Marty and Doc make it back to 1985, it's a very different 1985 than the one that they left. After figuring out what happened, they must once again go back to 1955 to prevent the almanac from being used by Biff so they can save the future that they know. Whew.

I'm a huge fan of the second movie of the trilogy. It used to be my favorite of the trilogy. Probably because of the flying cars and the hover board. Also the more in depth time traveling was definitely nice to have, even though you had to suspend a little bit of belief of how time travel works. Because honestly if Biff goes back in time and changes time, then time should've altered while Marty and Doc were in 2015. To me, the 2015 scenes were cool, but the movie becomes a lot better when they go back to 1955 again. It was a lot of fun to see Marty watching himself do the things he was doing in the first movie. Like when you see him low crawling under a window of the car that part 1 Marty is sitting in with his teenage version of his mother from 1955. Also it was funny to see Fox play multiple characters in this movie such as his son, his older self and even his daughter from 2015. Also it was amusing to see the 2015 Biff ragging on his former 1955 self for being dumb and sounding like an idiot. And also seeing the son of Biff, Griff, was a trip too. Because he's basically the same type of bully his father was in 1955, but more juiced up because of robotic implants. It was even nice to see Zemeckis do an homage to part 1 by having almost the same skateboard scene from part 1 in this movie also, but a more futuristic version of it.

Though it used to be my favorite of the trilogy, I'm starting to lean more to part 1 being my favorite, but part 2 is definitely a close second. Once again, this movie is a classic also and I highly recommend it if you loved part 1.

P.S. - From the first time I saw this move to right now as I type this... I want a friggin hover board!
』

(bttf 2=the film that explain the other 2 in the trilogy)

『what i really like about this film isn't the future-which illustrated somewhat depressing and too artificial and even the characters look unreal or too much made-up. its the fact that this film explain the first film and doc mention in this film that the date 5th november 1955 is a special CORE DATE in the time phase and in all the trilogy. a date in which doc fell and got his head beaten by the sink and then he saw the vision and idea of time traveling,a date in which marty's parents meet and fall in love(which we learn in the first film),a date in which a lightening strike the clock tower and shuting it down and then in this way the marty from first film goes back to the future,and a date that from unknown reason the old beef choose to come back and give the almanac to his young self.from the day after this date,the 3rd movie begin and in this movie we learn more about this core date 5th november and see another angle of this day that we couldn't see in the first film,angle of the other marty that comes again to this date and see the marty from the first movie. this is the amazing part of this film esepecially when the marty from the future has to do his mision-getting the almanac from bif-without disturbing the marty from the first movie making his parents fall in love.
like this fictional core date i think everyone has a core date in their lives when so many important events happen,events that start alot of eras in the future and affect strongly on our lives.

the second interesting thing is the "TIME PARADOX",which is a philosophy of its own,that mentioned in the film.this paradox described by doc as something that destroy the time continum and the universe,but when u try to think what happens if the 2 martys meet and the circumstances its a complex theory of its own-beyond the films. i tried to think what happen if the martys meet and realized that if they meet and the marty from the future alter the actions of the marty from first film,he won't get back to the future(probabely by missing the lightning that strike the clock,and the marty from future wont get to the future and wont return to the past and so on....the whole film destroyed(or universe as doc mentioned)! thinking about all this circumstances is more complex then physics and other sciences,if time travel was a reality there would be a new science that deal with this.』

(Fun movie, but like "TimeCop" there are paradox's run amok here...)

『First off, let me say I don't hate this film, but compared to the "Original"&Part "III", this one fails, not because its bad, but because you really have to suspend belief big time here, like most SCI-FI fans I have always liked anything that deals with time travel, so many ideas to play with, but in reality time travel would be quite dangerous,&this film makes that clear in more ways than one, but is poorly executed&here's why....

For starters this one picks up where Part "I" left off with Doc carrying Marty&Jennifer into the future to 2015 to save their future son from being involved in a robbery that will get him life in prison, this would of course be inpulsive to stop this, but from a realistic standpoint Marty&Jennifer's removal from 1985 would have altered the future of 2015 where they would not exist because of their removal.

Secondly, let's ignore that logic for a moment, Marty buying a sports almanac in 2015 would be inpulsive for anyone, I mean hey, why not place bets in the past, right, well old Biff does this very thing by stealing the almanac&the DeLorean&goes back to 1955&gives the almanac to his younger self thus changing everything from that point foward, when he returns to 2015, he is dying, again, his actions would have altered Doc&Marty's Twin Pine mall meeting in the first film thus altering Marty's trip to 1955&their trip to the future in 2015.

Now, let's ignore that logic for a moment, the hellish 1985 is done quite well&Marty&Doc's culture shock is fun, but it should have been done differently, with Doc returning from 2015 with the almanac&the 1985 Biff going back to 1955 with the almanac,&Marty&Doc chasing him back before he could give it to himself, this would have been more plausible, again, I don't hate this one, but when dealing time-travel, you have to at least make it believeable, a pre-destination paradox is really the only way to do anything dealing with time-travel, "Star Trek" always did this quite well, as does the "Terminator" films where Arnold&Reese's trip to the past actually set up their futures,&"Star Trek" was always careful about this, as was the first&third "Back to the Future" films where nothing is really altered seriously as in the case of the first "Back to the Future" where Marty interupts his parents meeting but does manage to get them together.

Another flaw in Part "II" is the future scenes, like "TimeCop" they got it wrong, which in essence sort of kills the magic a bit, unlike "Star Trek" or the "Alien" films where the future is set hundreds of years ahead, predicting the near future is always never accurate, Kurt Russell's "Escape From New York" suffers from this as well as Kubrick's "2001" as does one of SCI-FI's best "Blade Runner" if your going to do the future, at least do it in a time where we are all gone.

I hate to nitpick, but no matter how enjoyable&fun "Back to the Future II" is, I feel they should have left the future alone, aside from this, this one is enjoyable, but Part "I"&"III" are more believeable.
』
『Critics and audiences didn't seem too happy with this inventive, perhaps too clever sequel to the popular 1985 comedy about a high school kid (Michael J. Fox) who travels into the past and has to bring his parents together (or lose his own existence). Director Robert Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication to this follow-up, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn't necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was. It's well worth a visit, though, just to appreciate the imagination that went into it, particularly in a finale that has Fox's character watching his own actions from the first film.--Tom Keogh』

(Very dependable seller)

『The seller was very dependable. The item I order arrived a week after it was ordered and it was in great shape like they stated. Would order from them again in a minute.』

(Halloween.The Definitive Horror Movie-A Classic.)

『Halloween Parts 1 And 2, Are Definitive Horror Movie Classics,It is disturbing yes, Disturbing as you would see On any night of News Coverage on Television,or as Disturbing as People's everyday Declining Morals,But the movie is What Horror Movies Should be, Not meant to Glamorize Crime,but that there is Evil In the World sadly. This movie is not the typical Gore Zombie Movie,But it will creep you out!Not to mention the Eerie track!Donald Pleasence is awesome as is a Beautiful Jamie Lee Curtis Before she ruined her hair!』

(Fun To Watch)

『The first Halloween to me has a special meaning to me in that it was probably the first Horror movie I remember seeing. We used to watch this and laugh and quote scenes, and it was indeed frightening also don't get me wrong...but it had such a sense of humor and such lovable characters, there was more to this than just a slasher film.

Watching it as a grown up reveals so many flaws, we all know it was shot with a low budget by a young crew for the most part. Right from near the beginning when Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is walking down the street you see trees that have green leaves on them all around, and then there's the mysterious rain that fell on Lauries block only apparently. Also Annie picks up Laurie at 6:30 p.m. when it's still pretty light outside, when in fact as I type this in Illinois it's only 6:15 p.m. and it's pretty dark outside. I am always hoping not to see a palm tree in the background, or the Hollywood Hills or something. Too bad they couldn't have shot the film at least in the midwest where it was set..today it was about 50 degrees and windy on Halloween, the trees that haven't shed all their leaves are a beautiful mix of yellow, orange, and red. The ground is littered with dead leaves wind blown or raked into piles on every street. It is a very amazing atmosphere in the fall with the changing of seasons. At least in the movie they are wearing sweaters and jackets to make it seem like there is a chill in the air.

Other than those minor issues perhaps, the film itself is really pretty good I think, the opening scene is the tragic night that started it all in 1963 as a young Myers stabs his sister to death. It then skips ahead to 1979 when Michael is locked up right before Halloween, and of course he manages to escape...which is a classic moment when the wonderful Dr. Loomis played by Donald Pleasance of course has had it up to here with excuses and why he was allowed to escape in the first place, Loomis is a nervous wreck throughout the film, with good reason. Him and the skeptical Sheriff are an oddball team at times trying to put a dent in Myers' rampage. Fav moment is Loomis staking out the old Myer's place and little Lonnie on a dare walks up to the front door and Loomis yells from behind the bushes...cracks me up every time I see it, and then while Loomis is enjoying his small victory, the Sheriff proceeds to scare the daylights out of Loomis.

A very interesting look at high school life in the late 70's also, with the trio of Laurie, Linda, and Annie. Laurie is the brains of the bunch, and one Ben Tramer is the object of her secret desire...but we never really see this character, can't help but think Ben doesn't know what he's missing in a smart, beautiful, shy...yet somewhat rebelious (smoking pot with Annie) Laurie Strode. Linda (played by P.J. Soles) is a favorite character also, a wild child, who smokes, lusts after boys, drinks beers, and says "totally" about a dozen times in the film. Just another reason to love this movie.

There's some violence of course, Micheal watches his victims, stalks his victims, and overpowers all that get in his way. To me it comes together with suspense and horror, plus a dash of comedy sprinkled in that make this one entertaining and totally fun to watch I think. Halloween just wouldn't be Halloween without seeing this one every year IMO.』

(Awesome)

『The video was new and in great shape. It arrived in a timely manner and the price was great. I would order from them again.』

(John Carpenter's movies are so awful)

『As a teenager I was enamored with films, particularly sci-fi and good horror. Everytime I saw a horror film and hated it, it was none other than directed by Carpenter. I don't care about the transfers, or the 1080 or the HD, I am basing this review on the film itself. Save the amazingly talented Donald Pleasence, perhaps in its day, this was terrifying. But when I saw it as a child, perhaps not too long after it was out, I was laughing at most of the film, on really how ludicrous it was. Absolutely terrifying to me is 'The Shining' or of course 'The Excorcist', this is just uniform B horror, and even that is giving it accolades it doesn't deserve. You can argue till the GOP find's a talking head not full of themselves that this was a unique approach to horror films which showed what you can do with a extremely minimal budget, a great score, and awful acting...use really grade school, first person type camera shots, and audience edge of your seat trickery...mehhh...give me 'Blair Witch' anyday....

Ridiculous. How many times is he going to come back to life, over and over and over and over and over and over again. The ending showing still shots of the house, some of the rooms in the house, MM's old house and heavy breathing......oh please...I know 14 year old's who make better cut films on their Hi-8's.』
『Halloweenis as pure and undiluted as its title. In the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, a teenage baby sitter tries to survive a Halloween night of relentless terror, during which a knife-wielding maniac goes after the town's hormonally charged youths. Director John Carpenter takes this simple situation and orchestrates a superbly mounted symphony of horrors. It's a movie much scarier for its dark spaces and ominous camera movements than for its explicit bloodletting (which is actually minimal). Composed by Carpenter himself, the movie's freaky music sets the tone; and his script (cowritten with Debra Hill) is laced with references to other horror pictures, especiallyPsycho. The baby sitter is played by Jamie Lee Curtis, the real-life daughter ofPsychovictim Janet Leigh; and the obsessed policeman played by Donald Pleasence is named Sam Loomis, after John Gavin's character inPsycho. In the end, though,Halloweenstands on its own as an uncannily frightening experience--it's one of those movies that had audiences literally jumping out of their seats and shouting at the screen. ("No! Don't drop that knife!") Produced on a low budget, the picture turned a monster profit, and spawned many sequels, none of which approached the 1978 original. Curtis returned for two more installments: 1981's dismalHalloween II, which picked up the story the day after the unfortunate events, and 1998's occasionally grippingHalloween H20, which proved the former baby sitter was still haunted after 20 years.--Robert Horton』

(Not as bad as everyone said)

『This is the first Saw movie that I purchased on Blu-ray and it was also the first Saw movie that I did not go to the theater to see first. After all the negative reviews I read from critics and fans alike, I was hesitant to purchase it. But I now have a Blu-ray player and I wanted to keep my Saw DVD collection up to date so I decided to shell out the extra bucks for the Blu-ray. Although it's not up-to-snuff with the previous films (especially 1 and 2), I don't think it is nearly as bad as everyone said. Maybe it wasn't worth the extra bucks for the Blu-ray but overall I found the film interesting, full of good Jigsaw traps, and I found it fun to watch. I heard the "Saw 6" is much better but I most likely won't see it until the Saw 6 Blu-ray comes out next year. Bottom line: maybe just purchase the regular DVD of "Saw 6".』

(The curse continues...)

『There is a curse throughout horror movie franchises (or franchises in general) condemning the fifth episode to mediocrity at best, or unfocused, mundane nonsense at worst. The fifth episodes of the following franchises: Friday the 13th pt. 5 (the "Jason imposter" episode), Halloween 5 (that corny man in black gimmick), Star Trek 5 (the lame Shatner directed ep), Leprechaun (okay, that series sucked to begin with), Hellraiser 5 (Craig Scheffer as a debauched cop, while Pinhead is over on the sideline), Return of the Living Dead, Nightmare on Elm Street... the list goes on and on.

Saw V is no exception to this rule. After a cool opening involving an fbi agent ingeniously beating a jigsaw trap, we get scene after scene of Scott Patterson walking around with an angry look on his face, Costas Mandalor in an exceptionally stoic offering as Jigsaw's apparent heir, flashbacks that make no sense (the chronology of the Jigsaw/ Hoffman link is especially convoluted), drab photography that lacks the flair of the Wan/ Bousman directed offerings, and an ending that is telegraphed from pretty much the opening scene.

Even the relevance of the "game" is not explained until Kevin Greutert's superb Saw VI. As it stands, the subplot comes completely out of left field. People looking for ingenious traps better stick to the other sequels as Saw V hasn't a single interesting gadget throughout its running time. And if you're a Saw fan the plot developments are not so germane that subsequent films would be confusing if you haven't seen this one.

Saw V is about the only entry in the franchise I don't like, and further proof that the number "5" should be omitted from the franchise index.』

(Emtombing the ones you Loathe.)

『The games have just begun - that was the credo that empowered the Jigsaw killer and it is also the truth that keeps onkeeping on. Even after what happened to Jigsaw during the last test he gave to a former employee (or partner, or whatever you want to call her), Jigsaw still has a voice and hands to do his dirty deeds. He also has a thing about police officers that has been explained to us in vivid detail, and we find out why this is - if we haven't already pieced that together. There is another game being played as well, one that talks about working together and one that the team of people placed inside this horror don't seem to get, and that is the lovely part about so many of these things. People are such bad listeners - just play the tape and take the game seriously, because this is their lives. The traps here are nasty little things, too, and they are loveingly deceptive because they al;low people to see what they should do but give them the freedom to choose. It is perhaps there, in that freedom of choice, that people mmake their worse mistakes.
As Jigsaw would say, let the games begin.

I've taken to the movies well because I thought they were all done really well, overcoming things like budgetary confines by utilizing Tobin Bell and the saw puppet as things that make the flesh quiver. They also have traps that have duality stamped into their very being, and this duality allows the games to become things that seem to be one thing when they are, in fact, tests that measure other items. I always liked that, enjoying the fact that people are challenged to see the world in different ways, and that some people really do have the means to their liberation. And the ones that do not seem fair, almost unfairly doing things to people with no way out, we see exactly how that happens. And the answers to that are brutal, and unfair on so many levels. Combine with that the acting prowess of some of the individuals involved (I think it takes a lot to become a victim and sell it to an audience), the impact of lighting and music and tools like flashbacks, and the underlying terror that has to be there when you find yourself listening to a tape recorder or a doll that holds the keys to your survival and you have a game unlike anything I would ever want to play. and seeing the places where all of these games have taken place and the extent to which planning goes into everything and it is impressive. Even the first kill, one that happens because someone really doesn't listen, is good stuff. And i love it - i love it a lot.

If you watch Saw, watch them in order. They stack together well, and the plot that expands through-out the series is one to keep track of. Seeing how the helpers become involved, seeing the different type of handywork, and seeing why tests are given oftentime build over time. Even some of the people who fail are added into newer tests, so you count anything out. I personally like all of that, and i like how Jigsaw has some of the greatest lines in this new realm of horror movies. Even the 5th installment, which would normally be bad in any other series, is great here.
I love them all.』

(I No Longer "Want To Play A Game")

『In 2004, the original "Saw" film breathed new life into the horror movie genre. Though enticing viewers with some of the most graphic horror scenes in cinematic history, the real "hook" of the film was its morality-play plotline. Using a tact rarely taken in the annals of horror movies, Saw actually created doubt in the viewers' minds as to whether the "victims" were exactly that. Though perverse, the demented Jigsaw killer was doling out justice in a seminal way that everyone can relate to (even if it horrifies their "good side").

With each subsequent film, however, that magic has been lost, little by little. While Saw II just fed off the hype of the original and didn't mess with the formula and Saw III was interesting for the "dying Jigsaw" plotline, the two most recent installments have failed to recapture that spark of the "original trilogy". Saw IV was just outright confusing, while this film suffers from two major maladies:

First, the departure from the tried-and-true formula of regular citizens being tested in their weakest area. Like I said, the strength of the first few Saw movies was the writers' abilities to make audiences think about the morality of what was reality transpiring. This film, however, doesn't really take that tact and instead just focuses on clearing up all the loose ends from the fourth release. Though perhaps a noble cause for hard-core Saw fans, this line of storytelling only served to irritate me, as Saw IV was where I saw the series begin going downhill and thus didn't want to go in that direction again.

The other notable departure is a moving away from the Jigsaw character. To me, Jigsaw is at the very heart of what the Saw franchise is all about, and the series really isn't active unless he is in it. The flashbacks in IV were interesting, but Jigsaw's presence in V just seemed to be an excuse to bring back Tobin Bell, not to advance the plot in any meaningful way.

Thus, I see the Saw franchise as being at a paradox right now. One direction would be to continue on with the "Jigsaw lineage" and further dilute the original material (the likely path in order to please the die-hard scrutinizers), while the other, more inventive approach would be to come up with something new. Perhaps someone subjecting one of these psychopaths to their own devices?! At any rate, Saw VI will likely be the measuring stone of the "Saw future" considering the failure of this installment.』
『How do you keep a horror franchise going when your villain has been unquestionably and irrevocably killed off? That's a conundrum any number of genre series have tackled--to varying degrees of success--and the problem facing the sadisticSawfilms in its latest entry,Saw V. The filmmakers' answer--faithful henchmen--is at first blush a savvy idea, as it allows the mayhem of original bad guy Jigsaw to continue unabated, despite the fact that he was dissected on a morgue slab in the previous film.Saw Vextends the premise by having disgraced detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor from the previous two films) don the pig mask to unleash horrific tortures on another group of seemingly unconnected strangers. Scott Patterson (Aliens in America) also returns as Hoffman's Javert, a dogged fellow agent who escapes death in the fourth film and an ugly fate in this entry to continue his pursuit. All the elements that have made the Saw series popular with horror fans--the elaborate killing machines, the trompe l'oeil plotting, and the sociopathic judgments handed down by Jigsaw--are intact inSaw V, which is a positive for its most faithful followers, but a negative for just about everyone else.Saw Vcovers no new ground, expands no part of the mythology of the series and seems perfectly content to present a lifeless retread ofSaw IIIandIV. It also suffers from the absence of Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, who despite his top billing, is glimpsed only in brief flashbacks. Bell, who could be unsettling even in the stillest moments, gave the series a gravity that kept its least plausible moments in check, and Mandylor, though game, simply cannot provide the same. What's left is dreary and relentlessly downbeat, and to make matters worse, ends on an open note that clearly indicates that a sixth film is in the works, no matter how obvious that the diabolical ingenuity of the originalSawhas been worn to the bone by its sequels. Only diehardSawfans need to sign up for this round of Jigsaw's games.-- Paul Gaita

(Only One Song)

『I bought this primarily becuase I wanted the "Don't Fear the Reaper" song but was a little disappointed that it lacked the other songs from the movie and only contained instrumentals. Becuase the film was shot in New Zealand they used local bands for most of the songwork and then Danny Elfman for the instrumentals. Now I love Danny Elfman, but this was not one of my favorites from him. Unfortunately this one leaves off some really good songs from the movie and I'll just have to live without them or movie to NZ.』

(Awesome score!)

『"The Frighteners"is an excellent film,and is accompained by an excellent soundtrack.The score for"Frighteners"is an eerie score,with an excellent theme song.Danny Elfman makes another fine score that deserves to be in everyone's music collection.

Whether you like"The Frighteners"or not,this movie score is worth a listen, by anyone.If you buy this cd,you won't be sorry.』

(Dark Music From A Dark Man!)
『This is an Album that I enjoyed, the theme is just sensational,but I won't lie, you might get a little tired of it but it is still Danny Elfman!All together it is a great album and if your in to the darker side of Danny's music like me this is the music for you and I recommend it!』

(It's Elfman, all right, but not at his peak)
『This is one of those for the die-hard Elfman fans. I'm one, and even then, after my first listening, my reaction was:"That was a lot of noise."It's gotten better...it has to grow on you, I guess. If you're just shopping for some good listening music, keep looking. If you're an Elfman collector, yes, this one is still a worthwhile purchase.』

(It was....ok.)
『I dunno. I usually LOVE Danny Elfman stuff. But this album leavs me waiting for...something more. For one thing, it's a short score. The music isn't that catchy, either. I've listened to it over and over and only a few parts of the album stick in my head. The music, in itself, is good. Nothing wrong with it (the pianos in here are fabulous!), but it's just...not what I was expecting. The movie's really good, and this album has it's moments, but I've heard better. That's not to say it isn't good, just...not one of my favorites.

Plus"Don't Fear The Reaper"has been raped by some guys calling themselves the Mutton Birds.

It's fun to listen to, though. If you like Danny Elfman stuff, you'll dig this.』
