Blu-ray Review: He Came from the Swamp: The William Grefé Collection (1966 – 1977)

Exploding from the Everglades of Florida comes William Grefé; a dude that has directed an impressive array of schlock… but alas schlock I’ve never set my eerie eyeballs on. That’s something I aim to fix right quick… and what better way to do it than with the new Blu-ray collection from Arrow Video (along with MVD Entertainment); He Came from the Swamp: The William Grefé Collection! Disc one begins with the creature feature Sting of Death (1966), and what a doozy this putrid picture is my cats n’ creeps! College gal Karen (Valerie Hawkins) spends her vacay visiting her marine biologist father (Jack Nagle, who possesses a seemingly magic headwound that grows and shrinks throughout the picture) in his remote island laboratory cum home deep in the Florida Everglades, along with her cadre of comely female friends. Everything is absolutely keen as beers are downed and everyone gets their collective rocks off doing the hot new dance craze “The Jellyfish”,

Blu-ray Review: The Baby (1973)

Ann (Anjanette Comer) has had a rough go; her husband recently bought the farm, and now her job as a social worker has presented to her a new challenge; the case of “Baby” (David Mooney in a performance that is both tragic and face punch inspiring) a 21 year-old with the mind of a baby (dude crawls, bawls, and shits his overalls if you catch my drift). Anyway, Baby’s momma (clever, right?) is none too pleased about Ann’s interference, and her two off-the-rails daughter feel much the same. Well, the sit well and truly hits the fan when Ann has designs on liberating the man-child from his wicked wardens which could lead to her demise! Demented, bizarre, filled with mounting tension, and equal parts entertaining and annoying, The Baby is definitely unique that’s for sure. As mentioned, the main character of Baby definitel grates on the nerves at times, but the Wadsworth clan (as played by Ruth Roman, Marianna Hill,

Blu-ray Review: Horrors of Malformed Men (1969)

Hirosuke Hitomi (Teruo Yoshida) finds himself confined to a drab sanitarium seemingly filled to the brim with psychotic, half naked women. How did he come to be in that predicament? Well read on dear fiends… As Hitomi revisits his past in his thoughts we learn of a bizarre, animalistic figure he met on a beach, and the store room in which he was imprisoned after encountering said being. While imprisoned he has bizarre hallucinations (or are they?) of a beautiful woman whose face transforms to that of a deformed man and back again. He also continuously hears a haunting lullaby, and has to contend with a strange, violent bald man, and abusive guards. After escaping his room one night, our hero meets a young woman who has no recollection of her past…and we learn Hitomi doesn’t as well. While on the lam, he ends up implicated in the murder of a circus performer (the girl he met previous) and takes
