Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Michael Ledo Fonda Chiu (Fonda Lynn) is released from prison and goes to work right away for a newspaper with no experience. The reason she was in prison is revealed later and ties into the characters. She works with Sheena (Lona Chang) a crazy 17 year old who is jealous of Fonda's relationship with Simon (Alan Tam).The film was poorly dubbed. The story line was simplistic and not very entertaining. Available unrestored on a 50 DVD pack.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Rainey Dawn Sha chu chong wei translates to 'Breakout from Oppression' in English. It is an action-horror film from Hong Kong. This is not a film that is overrun with martial arts as the poster shows. It's actually a fairly creepy psycho slasher film to my surprise.I got this film in the Mill Creek Drive-in 50-pack. I didn't think much of the movie when I first started watching the film but I found the film to be "ok"... not a terrible horror film. It's not great but it is surprisingly watchable - pretty good.It's got a strange but groovy 1970s soundtrack. Some oddball scenes. An overall eeriness once you get into the story good and one crazy psycho jealous woman that is killing people slasher style.The movie does have entertainment value for horror fans. It is a surprisingly fairly interesting film.5/10

Wizard-8 Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai didn't just make cut-and-paste ninja movies, they also made a number of movies with one clear story from beginning to end. This movie is kind of a strange one - it's never made clear where the events of the movie are taking place, for one thing (my guess is Taiwan.) There is also lousy dubbing as well as some goofy situations that make for some occasional unintended laughs. But for the most part, the movie is kind of dull and seems to be repeating itself more or less over and over until the action-packed climax (which has some similarities to the climax to the American movie "Friday the 13th"). If the rest of the movie had had the energy of the climax, we might have had something here. But as it is, the movie is only really for die hard fans of Asian movies who happen to be in a silly and forgiving mood. One last thing: While the IMDb currently claims this movie was made in 1978, the movie's copyright listing in the opening credits is actually for the year 1985.

Flowbeer I found this title on a 50-pack of 'Drive -In' thrillers distributed by Mill Creek Entertainment. At first, I was disappointed because it seemed to be bad quality right from the start. The dubbing IS pretty bad and the lines & scenes happen so quickly, you're not sure what is happening, they just go from one thing to another, and you're supposed to be following the plot line, as fast as it goes! But the plot starts to become more obvious and you realize that the female lead, who just got out of prison, was given a job working for a newspaper. There is animosity from 2 other female co-workers, one who feels she got her job because of her looks and the other, who is jealous that the boss is asking the new girl out instead of her! So, there are some catty moments, but they scream so quickly in the English dubbing, it really takes concentration to hear all their lines - which usually end with a 'Hummpph!' in that cute 'Asian way' that we've come to expect from Chinese/Korean/Japanese ladies in many films. The boss is enamored with the new gal/ex-con, while the jilted employee seethes and plots some sort of destruction on one - or both of them! You will have to watch it to find out! But really, it's not a bad plot and the soundtrack is quirky, in a 70's kind of way. The direction isn't as bad as I thought at first, in fact it's typical of some of the newer Korean directors currently out there, with some dramatic imagery & effects. All in all, I thought it'd be crap but it turned into a neat little story worth finding, if you can! I doubt it's on DVD solo, I have mine on the 50-Drive-In set I bought off ebay for $18.99! I give it a 5 out of 10 ***** As in, average!
