That boat chase was the best part of what I thought was an odd film. It wasn't easy trying to overlook a Brit being passed off as American, the lack of blood or wounds on the three victims at the beginning and an obviously non-L.A. looking location passing for L.A. (since when are directional U.S. signs printed in black on a white background?). I guess I set my expectations a bit too high after seeing three of my favorite war/action films quoted on the cover.

Couple of reviews of this month's Scorpion title The Survivor (1981):


The Survivor (1981) - DVD Beaver review

Also being released on July 24th by Scorpion is a double feature of........The Hearse (1980) and Blood of Dracula's Castle (1969) (source: DVD Aficonado).

Would have preferred if The Hearse had been released on it's own and not as a double feature. However, much looking forward to July.

Yes, it is the Al Adamson directed film (although it says on the IMDb cast and crew page for Blood of Dracula's Castle (1969) that there was a second director as well, an uncredited Jean Hewitt).

Some reviews of Katarina's Nightmare Theater titles released in the past few months:


Mark of Cain (1986) / Thrillkill (1984) double feature - Mondo Digital review

Satan's Slave (1976) - DVD Talk review

The Survivor (1981) - Mondo Digital review

Whispers (1990) - Mondo Digital review




The Mondo Digital review of the double feature of Mark of Cain and Thrillkill, incorrectly states that this Scorpion title is Region 1, when it's actually Region 0.
