We had a longish monster free run after The Brainiac. B-Fest used to featured what I called the Brain Melter slot after Plan 9. This is when they would throw in a pretentious arty flick like Greaser’s Palace just when everyone’s brain starting gettting soft following five to six straight movies. I showed/finally watched The Last Movie, a flick made by Dennis Harper Hopper following Easy Rider. It was featured in the seminal 50 Worst Films of All Time by the Medveds, so I had waited a long time to see it. It frankly wasn’t all that. It was bad enough that it (at that innocent time) got a few votes for Worst Film, in third place behind Love on a Leash and Verotica. However, it didn’t get all arty-farty until the last half hour, when it suddenly did. Anyway, now I own it on Blu Ray, sooo…yay?
Jeff loves biker films, so he showed HG Lewis’ The She-Devils. Sandy had shown it once in Dallas, so most had seen it back in the day. Still, it’s pretty entertaining, and a good time after The Last Movie.
Then Patty D showed the TV movie Ants!, most famous at the time for featuring Suzanne Somers just as Three’s Company was exploding. More to the point, it weirdly proved our second film in 12 hours featuring both Myrna Loy and starring Robert Foxworth (!). The climax of the film is featured above (spoiler alert) where the heroes–if not the highly Designated Villain–survive by…sitting still. Wow, great ending. Fun film, though.
