3-0 out of 5 stars Nice To See A Young Jack Nicholson, But That's About It
The Terror is a 1963 horror film (actually in color!) starring Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson that hasn't really gained much recognition. And understandably so. Like Bela Lugosi, Karloff seemed to fall into numerous low budget B-movies after his initial fame of the Universal era reached its peak. This is one of those movies. For plot details, here's what the back of the DVD case reads:
4-0 out of 5 stars A cult horror classic with a fascinating history
There is a lot to talk about concerning 1963's The Terror, but the most fascinating thing of all is the fact that Roger Corman actually made a creepy, impressive film for once in his life.Of course, I can't help but think he had a little bit of help by a young associate producer named Francis Coppola.As for the film itself, it definitely deserves its cult horror film status.It features Boris Karloff, it maintains a wonderfully gloomy atmosphere throughout, boasts some pretty decent special effects, and it actually features a good story with some surprising twists and turns at the end.It also stars a young Jack Nicholson, which certainly helps its popularity - unfortunately, though, this is probably Nicholson's worst performance ever, as he sometimes rushes through his lines without immersing himself in the character.
3-0 out of 5 stars Good film and about the Three Day creation bit
Look, for one poster who complained about the strangeness of seashores in Germany. Germany borders the North Sea. We don't pick on a film made in America but set in Germany simply cause no has a German accent. The film creates it's own set of supernatural horror rules but so does every movie that's a supernatural horror film. What is especially fake about a Jack Nicholson film? Movies are generally fictional and what you see in them is usually not really what it's supposed to be. It's a quite good film, The Terror, as the sets are beautiful and very convincing of early 19th century Europe. Just what anach-ronisms the film possesses escape me. Karloff's bathrobe maybe? As for the Three Day Creation bit: Nicholson is the proof that the film wasn't made in only three days but actually over months. He has more hair in the scenes in the castle sets (which in fact were only filmed in three days) than in the other scenes filmed later. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Are two Cormans better than one?Perhaps
No discussion of the silliest-looking monsters in film history would be complete without mention of Beast from Haunted Cave (which was reportedly nicknamed Humphrass).It's some kind of diaphanous, tentacled, spider-like thing that likes to wrap his victims up for later blood-sucking.Its costume looks to consist predominantly of saran wrap.There's nothing the least bit scary about it - and the same goes for the movie, which plods along for some 72 minutes.
2-0 out of 5 stars Beast from Haunted Cave
A real oldie but a goodie, Monsters, screams you name it this has it.

2-0 out of 5 stars Too little, too late
While fairly well acted for this type of flick, the pacing is awful for viewers who need regular doses of monster scenes throughout. In this case it's too little monster during the first three quarters and way too much monster at the end. The characters move around from place to place

1-0 out of 5 stars What are these people talking about!?
This film has been discussed by fans with an almost hushed reverance.They claim it to be so enigmatic, so thought provoking, so compelling, so unpredictable, and on and on, but I'm here to tell you now that this is pure garbage.
5-0 out of 5 stars Duel In The Dust
THE SHOOTING (1966): Willet Gashade (Warren Oates) and his dimwitted friend Coley (Will Hutchins) are in a state of growing paranoia after their partner is inexplicably shot to death by an unseen assassin at their small mining camp. The murder may have been in retaliation for the accidental trampling death of "a little person" in town, ostensibly by Gashade's brother, who had left camp in a great hurry immediately prior to the shooting. The next morning, while the two remain confused and suspicious over this disturbing mystery, a strange young woman (Millie Perkins) shoots her horse to death outside of the camp and then offers Gashade a thousand dollars to lead her to a place called Kingsley. He accepts even though he makes no attempt to hide his distrust. Intrigued by The Woman, Coley offers to tag along. On their journey, the trio are tracked at a distance by a black clad stranger, Billy Spear (Jack Nicholson). Meanwhile, The Woman laughingly toys with Coley's emotions and refuses to answer any of Gashade's questions. Spear eventually joins them and proves to be a most despicable companion. Hostile and abusive in the extreme, Spear is a gunslinger cohort of The Woman, who is herself quickly revealed to be every bit as wicked as Gashade had suspected from the beginning. Eventually, the strange journey ends in bloody disarray at the foot of a rock-strewn mountain, where Gashade comes face to face with the answer to the mystery, at great cost. 2-0 out of 5 stars Doesn't make a lot of sense, but interesting

2-0 out of 5 stars BIZARRE, LAUGHABLE COMMENTARY + HORRIBLE FILM = GUILTY PLEASURE?
Everything is great on this DVD except the film. The transfer is crisp and the widescreen is perfectly set. Stuart Whitman just wasn't right in the part and frankly the whole movie was sloppily produced on many levels and they all show. Whatever gets past us, however, will be shouted to us by the uncredited director of about half the movie [only the good scenes, Hellman says], should we choose to hear the audio commentary.
3-0 out of 5 stars Pretty good action fare, for non-discriminating fans.
If you are looking for a prime example of a film that's surprisingly decent in spite of itself, this is it! I've heard all the negative comments regarding "Shatter", from the low budget to the casting of Stuart Whitman. The low budget does show at times, but this film still has a better look than many of the martial arts opuses of the 70's. Whitman has had a history of these kind of tough guy roles, usually in westerns like "The Commancheros" and "Rio Conchos", and does solid work here. And Cushing and Anton Diffring add the expected Hammer polish to the works. The action scenes move at a nice clip, which cannot be said for many films of the era. This is not "Enter The Dragon", but it's better than some of the others.

2-0 out of 5 stars Call him Mr. Shatter!
Back in the 70's, England's Hammer Studios contracted with the famous Shaw Brothers to produce a few movies in Hong Kong.Only two ever came from the union, this tepid movie and the much better Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires (1979).I think the idea behind this movie was to combine the action of kung fu, whose popularity was in full swing thanks to Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon (1973) and the grittiness of Mario Puzo's The Godfather (1972).This hybrid fell short of this lofty goal.Actually, it didn't even come close to the mark, as this movie really sucked rotten eggs.I hesitate to mention this movie with those two, truly wonderful achievements in cinema history, but I wanted to give you an idea of what you're in for here.

4-0 out of 5 stars Flawed yet compelling mix of the real and the surreal
Monte Hellman's Iguana is a unique film for this director, who previously helmed skewed action films like Two Lane Blacktop and Cockfighter, as well as the equally skewed Westerns Ride in the Whirlwind and The Shooting.5-0 out of 5 stars haunting, mythical, beautiful
monte hellman's iguana isa real find. i'm always on the lookout for films that can overwhelm me with their atmosphere and their artistry. only a few films have ever succeeded (friedkin's SORCERER, argento's INFERNO, some of fulci's mid career films). this film is by no means perfect. but what is amazing is how hellman has created a magnificent work of art; from the most unpromising of scripts hellman has crafted a haunting fairy tale with a superbly realised mythical ambience. the script is bad, mcgill switches accents a couple of times, andthe make up is poor. but hellman utilises the mechanics of cinema (images, sounds, staging, cutting) to overcome budgetary and casting limitations, resulting in a film that is trashy but eloquent, haunting and astonishingly beautiful. ...
