I hated Contamination so by that view I think I should skip this one!

The 2hr 15 minute documentary on Sorority Babes is a huge let down. It's basically the director talking, padded out with A LOT of behind the scenes footage. When I watch it properly, I'll be fast forwarding through it. It'll probably be around 15 minutes of the Director talking. No idea why Full Moon have done it like this (other than to make you think you're getting more than you really are). I would've out the behind he scenes footage and the interview as 2 separate pieces.

How do you rate it Stephen?



I actually enjoyed it.It's in the same vein as Contamination.

Yeah it was ok. Not as good as Alien though Some decent effects too.

I'm in the same boat. Contamination is a right load of rubbish. I have the BU dvd and although i won't get rid of it there won't be any additions to it.

Even the soundtrack? I rate it up there with Goblin's best compositions.

It makes Contamination look like a sci-fi masterpiece in comparison It's pretty fun in places though with some nice effects work here and there. It's probably the 'worst' film (in terms of my own personal rating anyway) that 88 have released in the Italian collection thus far. I'd still buy it (cheap!) though as I'm a sucker for this kind of fare.

I would say that it's better than that notorious yawn fest Anthropophagous, The Beast.

I admit, while the film is garbage the soundtrack is great, but at the end of the day you can just listen to the CD and not have to pollute your eyes

That's one thing missing from most good DVD packages. They don't include a CD of the soundtrack. I know that it's probably a minefield when it comes to the rights, but when included can make all the difference, Anchor Bay's steel tin of The Long Good Friday comes to mind.
