Weekly DVD Dissection
Last week we had a feast with Cloverfield and The Orphanage, but this week ... just a bunch of B-listers.
By Scott Weinberg
That's not to say you won't find some fun in Karaoke Terror (which I hear is every bit as bizarre as it sounds) or Headless Horseman (which comes from horror geek extraordinaire Anthony C. Ferrante) or the low-budget slasher flick Knock Knock or the ultra-grungy indie Gutterballs -- but I wouldn't exactly hold out hope for a four-for-four evening there. Of the four I've only seen Gutterballs -- and I'm just hoping they've trimmed it down a bit from the version I've seen.
If you're more in the mood for something older and retro-y, check out the re-issues of Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City (1980) and Lucio Fulci's The New York Ripper (1982), a new edition of All Monsters Attack (aka Godzilla's Revenge) and Terror of Mechagodzilla, the 1983 obscurity called Boarding House, the sleazoid semi-fave Don't Go in the Woods (25th Anniversary Edition!), and the 7-disc, ultra-wacky Complete Toxic Avenger box set! (For more on the Toxic Avenger, see where he ends up on our list for why FEARnet Goes Green for Earth Day!
Next week: A lot more old stuff, but one worthwhile new title that has a lot of ... bite.
