Movie Reviews

Say "ahhhhhh...."

Annie Van Auken | Planet Earth | 01/19/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"SICK TO DEATH 4 Movie Pack features an excellent disaster film, two made-for-TV medical stories plus a revenge tale where a most unusual weapon is used.

SYNOPSES:

ANATOMY OF AN ILLNESS-- True story of a magazine editor stricken by what is believed to be an incurable disease. He devises his own successful treatment plan, despite much resistance from doctors. Look for a cameo by singer Anne Murray.

MESMERIZED-- In 1880s New Zealand, an abused wife kills her husband with hypnotism, then faces a court trial.

STIGMA-- A new doctor in a resort community soon realizes there's an epidemic of VD that's been ignored by his predecessor. Politics, prejudice and a close-minded populace stand in his way. Radio DJ "Cousin Brucie" appears as himself.

VIRUS-- Bowdlerized version of a fine Japanese-made disaster flick somewhat diminshes an excellent story. A plane crash releases a military manufactured toxin that kills virtually everyone on Earth. A group of surviving scientists in Antarctica worry that an impending earthquake will set off automated nuclear missiles, one of which is targeted for their base.

KINGS OF CLASSIC HORROR 4 Movie Pack (also from BCI / Eclipse) showcases vintage Lugosi, Price, Karloff and Chaney.

BRENTWOOD's 4-fers are nicely priced movie bundles. Video and sound quality of these digitally unrestored public domain films is generally fine. Discs are dual-side recorded.
