Darn, Dean, I already have a copy of 'Curse of the Undead', which is
an alright film to watch once or twice a year, or show to someone who
has never seen it, but I'd love to own a copy of 'Grim Prarie Tales'.
It is unfortunately one of those films that appears to have fallen
through the cracks (along with things like 'Broadway Joe', a film
from roughly the same period, which deals with an American G.I.
deserter with a Dillinger mindset robbing banks in England during
World War II, and 'Fabulous Creatures', an Australian film based on a
murder committed by two young teenage girls in the early sixties (one
of the girls, an adult after being released from prison, became a
well regarded Australian mystery writer). There's no end to the pure
schlock available, but the odder and more intelligent films from the
late eighties did poorly on tape and haven't been picked up for the
DVE format. I'm afraid we're in danger of losing some odd and
provocative films, not because there probably isn't a real market for
them, but just because of a case of bad timing.
Disgruntled,
Jon
