Scream  (1983)

A group of people on a rafting/camping getaway lay their heads down to rest in an old ghost town. Just about the moment they do, they begin to get picked off one by one by forces unseen. Dead bodies shake with hints of life, carved figures bookend the proceedings with metaphorical depth, and an unknown entity decapitates or otherwise slices anybody it get can get close to! If that all sounds great, well, we feel obligated to point out the following…. This has been long considered by horror fans to be one of the worst movies ever made! And though we wouldn’t quite go that far, we felt it was important to point that fact out. It’s also one of the big reasons we wanted to offer it! We’re pretty sick like that. Yes, it’s a little slow, but it isn’t as bad as a lot people want you to think it is. Some decent atmosphere, a fun soundtrack, and Mr. Woody Strode riding into town at night like death himself! Gorehounds need apply elsewhere, however. Check it out and decide for yourself!

Pulsebeat  (1985)

Upon first glance you may wonder why anybody, even an organization as diverse as Digital Conquest, would carry a title dealing with the 80's health craze. Take a second glance and you’ll notice tons of beautiful European women (sporting tight leotards) in various states of undress! This Spanish/USA Co-production stars Alicia (The Exterminators Of The Year 3000) Moro, Lee (Alone In The Dark) Taylor-Allan and the beautiful Helga (The Lorelei's Grasp) Line! Now that's a cast! The plot has several comical moments mixed together with soap opera dramatics and sexy steamy club scenes as two health clubs compete with each other to the point of sending in spies to sabotage each other! Along the way our spa owner and all around good guy Daniel Greene falls in love for the local hottie and his geeky accountant gets the exercise of his life with Amazonian Helga! It all boils down to one night of competition called The Aerobithon! Lots of bad 80's clothes and hair styles and don't forget, real health nuts keep leg warmers on during sex! Watch it as an erotic throwback to the 80's, a bad comedy, or both!
