"DON'T EVEN *THINK* ABOUT BUYING THIS "TAX WRITE OFF"...
The reason that Director/Writer Robert J. Massetti is in this GARBAGE is that no other actor would be crazy enough to take the parts.
DEAD SERIOUS: YOU CANNOT BEGIN TO IMAGINE JUST HOW *CHEAP, AWFUL, BADLY SCRIPTED, BADLY ACTED AND ULTIMATELY WORTHLESS* THIS SET OF STORIES REALLY IS, AND THE MASSETTI STORIES ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST YOU'LL FIND ANYWHERE. THIS MAN IS THE MODERN DAY ED WOOD - BUT WITHOUT WOOD'S BRILLIANT VISION (BY COMPARISON) AND HIGH BUDGET HUBCAPS, EFFECTS AND MASTERFUL DIALOG/SCRIPTING. ("Because you're STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!")
HOPEFULLY, I've now saved your lives and money and a terminal case of brain rot by convincing you NOT TO THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY ON THIS.
BUT, to be perfectly fair, if you ever have visitors who've overstayed their welcome, THIS is the perfect DVD to put on. You'll be amazed how quickly they find an excuse - ANY EXCUSE - TO LEAVE!
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!

Bad Taste Theater: Even worse than you think

"CONTENTS of EVEN WORSE THAN EVIL 4 Movie Pack:
INSANIAC-- The film's director, John Specht, appears here as the doctor who hypnotizes a deranged amnesiac in this disjointed, amateurish effort. The hypnotized female patient has such violent visions, her amnesia was undoubtedly a merciful relief.
LAST HOUSE ON HELL STREET-- Another "Specht-acle"... A house infects the mind of a man (huh?) who then drags his girlfriend there and brutalizes her. A torture to watch.
PHOBIAS-- A fairly decent Robert J. Massetti two-fer. As is typical of these sorts of films, the director is also a cast member. Segments: "Blackout," "When Shadows Lie Darkest."
THE SEEKERS-- A videotape causes its viewers to solve their problems homicidally (thus creating NEW problems for them!). Has enough naked chubby girls in it for three Rubens paintings.
For some "Bad Taste Theater" comic relief, check out their RURAL FOLK 4 Movie Set. It's a redneck riot!
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.
