Full Moon Classics, Vol. 2 (contains some minor spoilers)
I love Full Moon movies, so when I saw that they were coming out with Full Moon Classics vol.2 I was excited. Although the movies aren't quite as good as the ones in the first volume it's still a good set.
Lurking Fear (1994) starring Jeffery Combs, Ashley Laurence, and Blake Bailey is a fun action-filled horror movie. This is definitely the best movie in the set. This movie takes place in a town that's overran by evil beings, only the doctor (Combs), a distraught sister (Laurence), and a pregnant woman remain. Then a man (Bailey), looking for his family fortune, shows up with criminals on his tail. This movie is actually really good, it's full of gore and it has Jeffery Combs!
Robot Wars (1993) starring Don Michael Paul and Barbara Crampton is a amusing sci-fi action movie, the character are all really funny and likable. The movie takes place in the year 2041 where an archeologist (Crampton) uncovers an evil plot and with the help of a robot pilot (Paul) and his funny sidekick they try to save mankind.
Dark Angel: The Ascent (1994) starring Angela Featherstone and Daniel Markel is a gory horror movie about a demon that escapes hell. She becomes a vigilante and kills wrong doers. She meets a doctor and falls in love with him. This movie is pretty good, I liked the two detectives but it does seem to take itself more seriously than the rest.
Mandroid (1993) starring Brian Cousins, Jane Caldwell, and Michael Della Femina is an action adventure movie with a "mandroid." A Romanian scientist and his daughter are working to develop something called Super-con. Their partner, Drago, decides to steal it and is harmed in the process. Mandroid is a pretty good movie, I enjoyed it.
Invisible: The Chronicles of Benjamin Knight (1994) starring Brian Cousins and Michael Della Femina is the sequel to Mandroid. Basically, the characters that survived the last on are in this one as well. It's the worst movie in the set, in my opinion. The villains are too out there, especially the mental patients, and the script is pretty bad.
Overall, a good set. Not nearly as good as Vol. 1 but for Full Moon fans it still is a lot of fun to watch. As for extras each movie contains a behind the scene videozone and like Full Moon Classics Vol. 1 it is region free.
At last: Dark Angel on DVD!
Dark Angel is the best movie in this set. In fact, I think it's one of the better Full Moon films ever made. I first saw it back in the late 1990s on Sci-Fi Channel (back when I actually enjoyed watching Sci-Fi) and VHS, but always wanted it on DVD. There is something about the musical score; the slightly gothic, old worldish Romanian setting; and Angela Featherstone (The Wedding Singer, 200 Cigarettes) as Veronica that just made this movie an instant fav despite the slight cheese factor... personally, I could care less about the other films in this set and find it annoying that Dark Angel hasn't had a solo DVD release. Everything else in this set is Mystery Science Theater material.
Oh well, beggars can't be choosers; I guess I should just be glad to have it on DVD at all. At least it came with four nice coasters for drinks on the kitchen table ; )
Cheers!
Buy it for Dark Angel...
My favorite movie in this set was Dark Angel. It's a very original concept and it was very enjoyable. That movie alone is worth the price of buying this set.
Lurking Fear was my second favorite movie in this set.
