DVD Reviews of The Ed Wood Box (Glen or Glenda / Jail Bait / Bride of the Monster / Plan 9 from Outer Space / Night of the Ghouls / The Haunted World of Ed Wood)
DVD Review: no captions or subtitles
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this box set from Amazon.com. Despite the "Product Details" section stating that this DVD set is closed-captioned, there are no captions or subtitles. Other hearing-impaired viewers need to decide for themselves, before purchasing, how important or not this feature is.
Having said that, I've so far watched "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (missing bits of dialogue) and got quite a laugh out of it. This movie is a bungled execution of a rather bizzare story - aliens bringing Earth's dead back to life to prevent an even more scientifically implausible event in the distant future. Effeminate aliens, cheap special effects, continuity problems, cemetery grave stones made of cardboard, vampire characters in a movie that really isn't about vampires - the list goes on. And just how did Criswell (narrator who opens the movie) get his hair like that???
DVD Review: Bride of the Bits and Bytes
Summary: 5 Stars
In my estimation, part of the general concern about the shift from physical media to digital is the well-founded fear that some of cinema's greatest "treasures" will not be given the time, effort and expense necessary to convert them. What I'm suggesting is that things like B-movies, which we enjoy because they're so terrible, might get short-shrift.
Fortunately it appears that Amazon is willing to support our beloved "classics," as evidenced by the inclusion of Bride of the Monster in their digital catalog.
This, of course, is one of Ed Wood's legendary stinkers, featuring the dynamic duo from the infamous Plan 9 From Outer Space, the oversized Swede Johnson and a fortunately still-living-at-the-time Lugosi. As far as B-movies go, anything with Johnson's lumbering frame in it is an instant classic, and special touches like Lugosi's tangle with a rubber octopus are just icing on the cake.
As you may be able to tell from the preview video, this version of Bride of the Monster has been digitally re-touched and colorized, ensuring that the quality of presentation is suitable to viewing on a high-resolution computer monitor.
DVD Review: VERY, VERY, VERY BAD
Summary: 1 Stars
I really tried to enjoy these movies. I tried to get scared in scary moments or laugh in funny moments, or vise versa. Everyone says that they watch Ed Wood's movies because they are so bad to the point where they're funny, but I really can't seem to find anything funny about them. THEY ARE JUST BAD!!!! I really feel sorry for all the hours of my life that have gone to waste, and all the brain cells that i have killed. So, i guess the only thing that i can do about that is warn people. PLEASE, I BEG YOU DON'T WATCH MORE THAN ONE OF THESE MOVIES. YOU'LL KNOW WHY AFTER WATCHING THAT SINGLE ONE.DVD Review: Great set for Ed Wood fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are here, You know what the movies are about, so I won't bore you with descriptions. However, I will give a brief review of the V/A quality of the discs. I recently purchased this set and was amazed on how good these films looked. I was expecting some grainy, 16mm style transfers, but was surprised to see them in superb quality! A great job by Image. The audio is pretty clear, but don't expect much considering the low budget nature of these films. Plan 9 and Haunted World dvds contain some excellent extra features while the other discs contain a theatrical trailer of each film. Also, the Haunted World disc also features Ed Wood's first film "Crossroads at Laredo"!! Considering the cheap price, I highly recommend this to E.W. fans and even those curious (after seeing Tim Burton's excellent ED WOOD film).DVD Review: IN A NUTSHELL! GREAT SET! LONG LIVE BELA AND ED!
Summary: 5 Stars
"This is an excellent box set and you get all of Ed Wood's films. The king of cheapy creepy's for sure. A must have for any cheese lover!" The box set features "Plan 9 From Outer Space" "An Ed Wood Classic! The film features Bela Lugosi in his final role, but for those of us who love Bela it's nice to see him go out wearing his Dracula's cape. Bela died before the film was finished and Wood's dentist?(who is at least a foot taller than Bela,keeping his face covered by the dracula cape in every scene)had to step in to complete the scenes." The whole box set is a gas!
Description of The Ed Wood Box (Glen or Glenda / Jail Bait / Bride of the Monster / Plan 9 from Outer Space / Night of the Ghouls / The Haunted World of Ed Wood)
Weird! Wild! Wood! The most legendary B-movie director of all time, Edward D. Wood, Jr. assaulted audiences worldwide with a string of bizarre, no-budget fusions of horror, science fiction, noir and comedy. Now his oddball legacy is finally collected in one indispensable box set! Feast your eyes on his first feature, the madcap Glen or Glenda? in which Eddie himself portrays a transvestite struggling with his addiction to angora while Bela Lugosi offers inscrutable narration. Blackmail, outlaws on the run, and plastic surgery collide in the surreal crime drama Jail Bait, featuring a young Steve Reeves (Hercules), while Bela returns to create the Bride of the Monster in a heady collision of atomic experiments, a rampaging octopus and clumsy assistant Lobo (played by wrestler Tor Johnson). Wood's indisputable disasterpiece, Plan 9 from Outer Space, offers pie-plate flying saucers, incompetent alien leaders, all-seeing psychic Criswell, goth favorite Vampira and a post-mortem appearance by Lugosi himself in his last film role. Then Lobo and a phony spiritualist usher in a Night of the Ghouls at a spooky marsh filled with shuffling undead and wailing ghosts. Finally, learn all about the man himself with The Haunted World of Ed Wood, a comprehensive disc packed with interviews, film clips, TV rarities and much more! It's enough to make you scream!General DVDs
