DVD Review: Herban Crime
Summary: 5 Stars
"Shut up and bring on the food!"
There are many releases of this film
and there will likely be many more.
Buyer beware regarding video
and sound quality.
There is a colorized version (why!)
released by Legend Films (7/1/2008)
which is accompanied by the original
black and white version,
so it is a safe purchase,
although one reviewer has complained
that the black and white version
on that release has an omission.
An annoying aspect of the marketing of
this film is that often the name of
Jack Nicholson is placed as the star
of the film which is not only far from
the truth, but also an insult to those
who were. Jack Nicholson was in one short
scene and he was funny, but it was not
even part of the plot and could have been
omitted, although I am glad that it was not.
This is a dark comedy classic
by the legendary film director
Roger Corman.
Pair this with "A Bucket Of Blood,
also by Roger Corman,
and you have a great,
and I do mean, GREAT, double-feature
of camp film-noir terror-comedy-satire
movies that that are unique and original.
A "nerdy" employee of a flower shop
managed by a hilarious shop owner
in a run-down city neighborhood
grows a one-of-a-kind hybrid plant
at the home where he lives with his
hilarious hypochondriac mother.
He brings the plant to the shop
in an attempt to save his job and
to establish himself as a "somebody".
The plant we learn is a carnivorous
one with an appetite for human flesh
and blood and the will and talent
to get it.
The comedy is relentless.
Every character, and there are
quite a few, is funny.
and as an ensemble, they blend
seamlessly.
Even the plant's line of "feed me"
and "I need food" (etc) becomes funny.
This plant is more than a plant,
as we learn when it hypnotizes
it's "father" to find it food
and later yields flowers with the
faces of the people that it has eaten.
The plant may represent an alter-ego
of its maker.
A big part of the charm of the movie
is that it does not take itself seriously.
There is no attempt to polish the acting,
the action or the dialogue.
I'm guessing that every scene was done
in one take with minimal preparation
and I'm glad that it was.
This is not a great-achievement-of
-film-art five-star movie.
It is a entertaining-funny-enjoyable
five-star movie.
That is not to say that it is is not
good film art. There is a reason
that so many of the highly acclaimed
and respected filmmakers and actors
of later years worked for and learned
from Corman.
Honorable mention must be made
of the score.
The music for this movie and for
"A Bucket Of Blood" by Fed Katz
are some very "cool" and "hip"
avante-garde jazz jams,
especially during the final chase
scenes which are excellent.
Not all will like this movie,
but for those of the camp
and horror cognoscenti
it is great classic and a must-see,
must-have movie.
