ThiefHott Too much of everything
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
George Taylor Even though the irascible Harlan Ellison partially disowned this movie, it is a decent adaptation of his story. Well worth seeing, it does more with it's budget than far bigger movies did. The dog is quite believable and carries the movie, while a young Don Johnson is passable. Well worth seeing.
robofin having been a Harlan Ellison fan from the start.I had to see this in'75 when it showed up at our underground(indie)theater.was stunned at the end when most of the audience didn't "get" the ending. don't want to spoil,so will just say it puts everything in perspective.having read a fair amount of these reviews it is very evident that satire,humor and Ellison's biting wit are misunderstood.probably by the under 40 crowd who have been mind-wiped by their (mostly)crappy superhero/spoofs(no fangs like true satire)and their electronic umbilical cords.the screamers are mostly women,by their screen UN.this is so much a sign of the times.granted Vic is a horrible young man,but he honestly doesn't know any better and blood is trying to re=educate him.on the other hand in the event of a dystopian world this is to be expected. wonder how many of the bad reviewers are glued to hunger games,50 shades and walking dead..misogynistic much.fair-play to all.and seriously its entertainment not a life guide.have had a copy on VHS since it was released and guard it well,glad to see it was released on bluray.
TheTerminatorsky Finally watched this snooze fest. Lack of any action, no effects to speak of, bad acting, confusing plot, on and on. A rip-off of the 'Time Machine' in which some people live above ground, some below, some mutated, some normal, etc. Oh, and reminds me of 'Logan's Run' and 'Soylent Green' and other better films than this.So, the boy runs away from people... from virgin girls... to live in a waste land with no food? Aha, OK. Oh, and then he realized there is no food so he kills and cooks the bride. OK. Got it. But, wait, what happens the next day, whom does he it? The dog?I guess the only good parts were the Playboy model naked. Just like 'The Illustrated Man', I don't get why this gets a high rating or is a cult classic.
SnoopyStyle It's 2024 after World War IV devastated the earth. Vic (Don Johnson) roams the desolate landscape with his smartaleck telepathic dog Blood scavenging for food and females. They track down a female Quilla June Holmes (Susanne Benton) hiding in her underground bunker. Blood doesn't like her. Her father Lou Craddock (Jason Robards) had sent her above ground to lure men down under where fertility has dwindled. Everybody wears paleface in a 1950s American small town society. Vic is going to be used as a stud but it's not as fun as it sounds.It's a weird unrealism. Some of it is a little funny. Then a lot of it is too weird. The underground world is too ridiculous. It takes me out of the movie. In the same time, it's not funny enough. It's very rapey which needs some much better jokes to ridicule it. This indie is definitely out there and I admire trying to take weird turns. It just needs to be funnier for it to work.
