A trio of juvenile delinquents in Bristol, (including Ray Brooks and David Hemmings), form a group with the aid and encouragement of local church volunteer Kenneth More. With Kenneth's help and the youth awards programme he runs, the band begin to turn their lives around.
A not so subtle propaganda vehicle for the Duke of Edinburgh awards scheme, but still gives a good insight into the pre Beatles world of teenagers.
aka Young General's Electric Guitar. Campus A-Go-Go. Electric Guitar Young Guy.
The second film in the "Wakadaisho" (Young General) series has Yuzo Kayama as a college American-football player who starts his own Eleki band to enter a talent contest. One of the members is Takeshi Terauchi, who plays a noodle delivery man.
The version I have doesn't have subtitles and as my Japanese is limited to 'excuse me' and counting to ten I didn't really get the nuances of it, but as in most teen movies there's not a lot of plot but lots of good looking bands playing Eleki (instrumental electric guitar music a la the Ventures and Dick Dale).
A struggling artist discovers the perfect shade of red for his paintings - blood. But he soon runs out of his source and needs to get more!
The Godfather of Gore creates the least gory but most watchable of his blood trilogy, that borrows shamelessly from Roger Corman's A Bucket Of Blood. All in all it's campy good gore.
This is a movie with everything and more. A Japanese alien invasion, zombie, love story, comedy, involving a transsexual, an effete psychopath and Guitar Wolf, the self-proclaimed coolest rock n roll band in the world. What's not to like.
Won't win any awards, but certainly great to watch on a Saturday night with some beers.
aka Encore. The Day the Screaming Stopped.
Jack Jones plays a recently divorced singer on the come back trail, who rents a country mansion to get away from it all. Unbeknown to him his ex-wife has already fallen victim to the killer. But who is the old crone that's offing people?
A surprisingly OK little slasher movie, if a little slowly paced at times.
aka Alice Goes To Acidland.
You could say Alice falls in with the wrong crowd in this supposed morality tale of drugs and lust. The only problem is that it manages to make sex look the most boring thing in the world and you'd have to be on acid to enjoy this.
"The big teen musical made just for you!" Teenagers try to win the right to vote in this fun excuse to cram as much pre fab four music into 90 minutes as possible. The Crickets, The Springfields, The Spotniks, The Tornadoes, to The Vernons Girls and Kenny Lynch amongst many others appear. This is what Amicus did before they discovered horror films.
