Plot:
Six friends on a road trip gone wrong. A sleepy, creepy Texas town. A sinister inn with murder on the menu. And an army of the undead who can only be stopped by decapitation or chainsaw. If you think you've seen it all before, you're DEAD wrong! Erik Palladino (ER, U-571), Ever Carradine (ONCE AND AGAIN), Jeremy Sisto (WRONG TURN, SIX FEET UNDER) and Gina Phillips (JEEPERS CREEPERS) star in the action-packed, blood-drenched horror/comedy that takes the genre to outrageous new extremes!

My Thoughts:
I felt like a bit of a change in pace now... so decided to go with some horror. This is a movie I never even heard of before a friend gave me the DVD. But of course I am always happy to try out some new horror. Unfortunately I didn't pick a very good one to start with. I realize this is listed as a comedy horror...but I would say I got maybe one half way decent chuckle out of the entire film. The comedy was more stupid then anything. As for the horror... there is plenty of blood and a bit of gore... but the gore is more comedic so less realistic. The storyline, while decent, was basically ruined with the way it went to comic book drawings of the movie between scenes and the awful music they insisted on playing through-out the movie. A music style that could only be described as a mixture of country and rap. With that said... there was a few good scenes mixed within all the non-sense that kept me somewhat interested. While I may give this one another chance at some point it isn't one I see myself watching very often at all. So no... it is not one I would recommend.My Rating:

Plot:
Linda Sterling was known as "The Queen of the Republic Serials" when she starred opposite George Lewis in ZORRO'S BLACK WHIP. This was one of the most strange Zorro films, for the very name was mentioned only in the main title of the picture. Throughout twelve exciting chapters, Linda was known only as "The Black Whip", who was assumed to be male until the final chapter unmasking scene. George Lewis usually played a heavy, but this time filled the starring slot as a government agent sent to assure an honest vote on Idaho Statehood. Linda's brother, who is the real Black Whip, is murdered by thugs opposing the law and order which would come with Statehood, and Linda picks up his mantle to oppose their evil in full Zorro regalia, in fact if not in name, as ZORRO'S BLACK WHIP!

My Thoughts:
This is the second time I have watched Zorro's Black Whip since I bought the Zorro set. while the title is very misleading... I really enjoyed this one a lot. I especially enjoyed Linda Sterling as The Black Whip. See... this movie is not about Zorro at all. But a female Zorro like character. I think the studio was just cashing in on the Zorro name. Linda Stirling was very good... and very attractive. It is a shame this is the only thing I own with her in it. This serial has some fun and entertaining cliffhangers. And plenty of old time Western style action.
I especially liked that this one has a female Zorro like character. I always liked watching a good strong female. For the time this is made I find it pretty incredible. There is also some comic relief in this one also. In the form of Tenpoint Jackson... an old man that works the newspaper for Barbara... he is the only person that knows Barbara is The Black Whip. Well... through most of it anyway.

Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd
Season 3
1. RULES OF THE GAME
The Sliders arrive as contestants on a world where the entertainment is government-sanctioned combat between teams - out of which only one team can emerge alive.
My Thoughts:
This is a good start for the third season. Lots of action in this one. Professor Arturo is temporarily blind in this episode. It was fun seeing Rembrandt stuck in the electronic spider web getting ready to be electrocuted and needing a blind Arturo to shoot the robot spiders.
My Rating:
2. DOUBLE CROSS
The local inhabitants of a world where sliding is being developed for malicious intent try to trick Quinn and the Professor into perfecting their technology.
My Thoughts:
This is a decent episode. I got a kick out of the fact that they made Quinn's double a woman in this episode. And the obsessed fan for Rembrandt was alot of fun as well. Then there is the fact that at the end of this episode they put in your mind there is another lost slider out there somewhere that is after them... one that can possibly track their tunnel. I just can't remember if they ever touched back on her or not.
My Rating:
3. ELECTRIC TWISTER ACID TEST
On a world plagued by deadly tornadoes, Quinn helps expose a small dictator whose own guilt about the twisters clouds his mind and his ability to control them.
My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. I defintely enjoyed it. Got a kick ouyt of the kick surfing the small tornado. Looked like fun! There is a couple familiar faces in this episode. First there is Corey Feldman. Then there is Julie Benz (Darla on Buffy & Angel).
My Rating:
4. THE GUARDIAN
On a world exactly like their own, except it spins a teeny bit slower, Quinn has a chance to influence his own childhood.
My Thoughts:
Another episode I liked a lot. This one finds a way to sort of travel through time without actually traveling through time.
My Rating:
5. THE DREAM MASTERS
On a world where some people can enter the dreams of others, Wade falls victim to dream terrorists.
My Thoughts:
Another good one. In this episode we go a bit into the mystic over the scientific. But it does still focus mostly on the scientific.
My Rating:
6. DESERT STORM
On a desert Earth, the Sliders come to the aid of a girl with the ability to find water.
My Thoughts:
This episode is not quite as good as the previous episodes.. but it is still enjoyable. It is another episode that goes into the mystical... even more so then the previous one.
My Rating:
7. DRAGON SLIDE
On a world where Druidism survived and flourished, Quinn is mistaken for a member of a powerfully magic family - the Mallorys
My Thoughts:
Now this one goes deep into the mystical side of things... it almost feels like it forgot it was a Sci-Fi show. While I still enjoyed it... I still prefer the regular Sci-Fi based episodes.
My Rating:
8. THE FIRE WITHIN
Accidentally bringing living fire from one world to another, the Sliders become embroiled in a labor dispute at a chemical factory.
My Thoughts:
This one is more like the original episodes that hooked me on the series so much. Though it is still not as good as many of the other episodes. It is just a little on the slow side.
