Plot:You have no idea how long I've waited to finally see that movie release.... more than 10 years. Yeah I know I could have got a region 2 DVDs, but all of them are cut so that would have been a waste of money. Does it worth the long wait and the high expectations?

You bet it does... This is an excellent thriller with an unpredictable storyline. Well act, but it isn't a surprise with Udo Kier (even if he was sadly dub) and Linda Hayden that I love since the first time I've seen Baby Love (a excellent film who will never get a legit because of its subject). This isn't really a film I would classified in the horror genre but more as erotic thriller with murder and violence. The movie didn't end the way I would had like but it's just me. There not much I can say without spoiling the film, but I can certainly say that it worths the price for me.

This isn't a film for everyone, but I sure suggest this one without hesitation. For once patience has been rewarded.

I forgot to write up a review for this. This movie was rather boring. I only read bad things about it, but being a fan of time-travel movies I still had to check it out myself.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

The Addams Family
They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, and now for the first time, they're on DVD! The Addams Family, America's first family of ghastly giddiness, are here in all of their ghoulish glory in the original TV series based on the delightfully demented imagination of Charles Addams. Tarantulas, torture racks, and tombstones have never been so much fun! Join Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Cousin Itt, and the rest of the gang for a fiendishly funny and altogether ooky experience. It's time to pay a call on...The Addams Family!

The Addams Family Goes To School
When Gomez and Morticia keep Wednesday and Pugsley home from school, the truant officer pays a visit with predictably ghastly results.

My Thoughts:
I always enjoyed this classic sitcom. Sure the characters are weird but of course they are meant to be. In this one the kids has their first day at school. Where they get upset over Grimm's Fairy Tales. So The Addams Family tries to rid the school of these fairy tales where there is cruelty to animals (Dragons slayed) and Nice old ladies pushed into ovens (Hansel & Gretal).
