1.0 out of 5 stars Movie is great, DVD is S***, 18 Oct 2003
By SiC "siccoyote" (Burton on Trent, Staffs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Evilspeak [DVD] [1981] (DVD)
This DVD has a transfer that is only just better than the early eighties VHS release. The UnCut precert VHS has better picture quality than this release which apart from having the poor picture transfer also has no extras to speak of and the film is cut by almost FOUR MINUTES! The DVD releasing company didn't even try showing an uncut copy of the film to the BBFC to try and get some of the cuts repealed. The artwork on the box is shoddy and cheap and has changed about 3 times, the one on Amazon right now shows a show of the preist which is part of the footage that was cut from the film, it isn't even IN THIS RELEASE! Film 4/5 DVD 0/5

3.0 out of 5 stars A trip down memory lane..., 11 Feb 2005
By M. Pinder (Leeds, West Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's strange when you see a film for the first time in twenty years, you expect it to have the same impact as it did when you first saw it as a gore-hungry teenager. And of course it can't, but it does stand up remarkably well.
The bullying & violent-revenge plot still works well because the bullies still so very much deserve what they get!
The gore is all there from what I remember of it and the performances are still cheesy, although Clint Howard's sweaty, stuttering performance as the bullied Coopersmith isn't half bad.
My only real moan about the presentation (bear in mind I only watched the UNCUT version of the film on disc 2) is the quality of the print. The UNCUT version seems to have been edited together using a patchwork of many different prints , ranging from the pristine to the power-sanded!! Some scenes look mint while some look like a video source while some look like they have just been discovered in a bin.. The sound varies accordingly, from clear to muffled, and occasionally there is no sound at all where they obviously have restored the image but could find no accompanying sound reel.
Mostly though the image and sound are ok, it just gets distracting when it chops and changes so much.
Incidentally did anybody elso spot 'LUCA BRASI' from the Godfather as the campus chef????

4.0 out of 5 stars Horror spin on An Officer And A Gentleman, 8 April 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Evilspeak [DVD] [1981] (DVD)
Loud, trashy revenge-of-the-nerd flick featuring Clint Howard, brother of Ron (from Happy Days) and star of TV's Gentle Ben. Plays like a lunatic version of Taps/An Officer And A Gentleman with lashings of grue and quality sfx from people who helped Superman to fly. Leave your brain at the door for this one, and enjoy.
