Blu-ray Review – The Monster Club

If there must be a film about dance party happenings at a club built
exclusively for creatures of the night, it seems appropriate that
Vincent Price would be our tour guide. 1981's "The Monster Club" is an
anthology effort with a bizarre wraparound story that interrupts spooky
and disturbing events to observe singers and bands rock out onstage in
front of a throng of extras clad in bad Halloween masks. Normally, this
type of schlock would trigger immediate dismissal, yet "The Monster
Club" has enormous charms and a fairly convincing line-up of chiller
material to help offset the feature's cannonball splashes into
absurdity. It's a lively, sincere movie, given considerable genre reach
by a colorful cast, including Price, John Carradine, and Donald
Pleasence. Sure, it's silly business, perhaps spending too much time
trying to sell a soundtrack, but picture is immensely entertaining,
setting the spooky season mood with aplomb. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
