Flesh Eaters from Outer Space: Something strange is afoot in the suburbs of New Jersey! Carnivorous entities from out of this world have invaded the Garden State, seeking out the tastiest dish in the entire universe: human flesh! Now only a gang of burnt-out metalheads and one sexy psychic starlet can stand up to the alien invaders devious plans of world domination and human consumption! But can anyone stop the bloody weath of Flesh Eaters from Outer Space?

Invasion for Flesh and Blood: A soccer mom is turned into a cyborg alien killing machine on the hunt for extraterrestrials hell-bent on destroying the human race. With a trusty teenage Metalhead at her side, the fate of the world is held in the balace, as sexual tension oozes from the once-human, now soulless, creature killer. Featuring an appearance by Marilyn Ghigliotti of Clerks.

Holy freakin' moley. That's about all I can say after watching these two unheralded cinematic gems. I'd never heard of the mighty Warren F. Disbrow before sliding this shiny DVD into my player to enjoy this b-movie combo, but after having seen his videotaped artistry first-hand, I am impressed - this guys is the real deal.

Are these shot-on-video, low-budget productions with half-assed acting and gratuitous do-it-yourself special effects? Yes. Are they thoroughly enjoyable exactly because of these points? Hell yes!

With plots that only barely hold together, gallons upon gallons of fake blood, and one of the goofiest looking monster costumes I've ever seen, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed these films. Disbrow knows exactly what he's trying to achive with his limited budget and limited acting abilities of the main cast ("Clerks" starlet Marilyn Ghigliotti excluded, of course), and he manages to meld 2 intertwined stories with a rubber suit, fake blood, numerous death scenes, numerous still photographs inserted to create dramatic moments (the space shuttle being my favourite)... wow. My eyes are still reeling - if you get a kick out of do-it-yourself b-movies, or just want to see one man's celluloid dreams on your own little screen, check this DVD out - you won't be disappointed.

Video: How's it look?
Both presented in fullscreen (1.33:1) ratios, these films look fantastic. Yes, they were (very obviously) shot on Super VHS, and yes they have quite a bit of bleeding reds (no pun intended) and lousy lighting - but all of this only adds to the ambiance and fantastic vibe created by these stellar videos. The presentation is as good as they're ever going to get, and they look pretty darned good, all things considered!

Audio: How's it sound?
Dolby Digital Stereo mix is equally as enjoyable as the video - for shot-on-video productions, these films have really strong audio mixes, with crisp & clean dialogue, nice background music, and some groovy sound effects as icing on the cake.
