JAN-GEL & HILLBILLY MONSTER


Okay, guys - my apologies for these two. I know I'd promised reviews much earlier - but the truth is, there is not much I can say.
Dear old Ed Wood contract player Conrad Brooks has sadly tried to recreate the Wood brand of magic on a hand-held home video camera, dealing with uncooperative inexperienced performers, requisite bad sets - and fails miserably. Dale Clukey, a "real find" as Jan-Gel - a radioactive monster on the loose in the wilds of Virginia - looks better in the monster make-up than out of it.
There is such a thing as "good/bad"...and "awful/bad". The latter term is what this was, and in spite of the terrible quality and desperation displayed (the actors', not mine!) I gave it my best shot. Truly, I did. (You HAVE to believe me!)
These two DVD's were barely watchable but I had to do it for B-Fans! Ah, the scars I will wear in my quest!
Let me also close with this: on the second DVD, "Hillbilly Monster" (allegedly a sequel to "Jan-Gel"...oh, dear) there was an exciting extra feature "Grandparents from Outerspace" again starring the prolific Conrad Brooks as, I assume, said grandfather in this fine production.
I didn't even make it to that one, however. I mean honestly - nowadays anyone with a home video camera can get a decent distribution deal.
I give these two mistakes a "Glammo BBB - B from Bottom of Barrel" - which I really didn't want to do. Sigh!
View at your own peril....and don't take the brown acid, man!

"PLAGUERS" STARRING STEVE RAILSBACK - COMING SOON!
Hey all you B-Heads:
I'm getting a DVD of Plaguers starring the always wonderful, consistently good and creepy Steve Railsback ("Helter Skelter", "Ed Gein"), written and directed by Brad Sykes, and Produced by Josephina Sykes. Brad and Josephina are up and comers in this genre and the work is worth seeing. I can't wait to get this film and review it. I've had to pass up chances to attend its screenings because I'm, always in - you got it - VIRGINIA!
Which brings me to my next post above...

Radioactive BMovie - Unspeakable terror but the hero saves the day
We especially love the SFX in the big showdown, and that music!
Glammo says: That reminded me of one of my last dates!!!!!
