Today, DVD Verdict posted reviews of ALL IN A NIGHT'S WORK, ALONE IN THE
DARK, CHUPACABRA TERROR, 800 BULLETS, EXHUMED, LOST LAKE, MARTIN LUTHER
KING: "I HAVE A DREAM", ONE DOWN TWO TO GO, and THE PAJAMA GAME:


ALL IN A NIGHT'S WORK (reviewed by Maurice Cobbs, overall score 74/100):
"Rather than being the hedonistic romp that it yearns to be, All In A
Night's Work only reinforces its own uptight sexual viewpoint until what
might have been a delightfully titillating farce winds up as a rather
stuffy and uninspired mess. There's nothing here that hasn't been done
before: Doris Day practically wrote the book on this type of movie, and
did it with more class and more sass."

ALONE IN THE DARK (reviewed by Patrick Naugle, overall score 40/100):
"I'm starting this review without a plot description of the movie. Why?
Because I don't have a clue what is going on in Alone In The Dark."

CHUPACABRA TERROR (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 50/100):
"Like all death scenes, this one is represented by a liter of chunky
tomato soup thrown at the wall."

800 BULLETS (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall score 52/100):
"Using the Leone language of overlong takes, drawn out scenes, and
overblown subplots, De La Iglesia seems to be striving for a kind of
happy medium homage. Part of the time, he wants to remind the viewer
of Once Upon a Time in the West. But at other moments, he appears to
be remaking The Goonies with grizzled old Spaniards as his half-
witted heroes."

EXHUMED (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 78/100):
"There is some really good stuff happening with Exhumed. Writer-director
Brian Clement has put together a few extremely creative, and
sporadically entertaining, horror shorts. That's really what this is: a
collection of vignettes. As a single logical narrative, Exhumed
stumbles."

LOST LAKE (reviewed by Mitchell Hattaway, overall score 45/100):
"The so-called plot is a mixture of (not enough) sex, environmentalism,
reincarnation, drugs, flashbacks, family histories, and some crap about
all matter in the universe being composed of tiny sparkling lights. What
does it all mean? Well, if you ask me, it means not everyone with the
resources to make a movie has the skills to make a movie."

MARTIN LUTHER KING: "I HAVE A DREAM" (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall
score 80/100):
"Martin Luther King is always careful to avoid the racial discrimination
that he is fighting against, but never softens his stance on the
mistreatment of his peers or the importance of full equality."

ONE DOWN TWO TO GO (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 78/100):
"What could have been the Blaxploitation movie to end all Blaxploitation
movies just doesn't have the juice to separate itself from the pack. One
Down Two to Go has its moments, but the end result is too uneven to
fully recommend."

THE PAJAMA GAME (reviewed by Bryan Pope, overall score 80/100):
"With all of the lousy management infractions, and with the many
instances of sexual harassment and workplace violence on display, it's a
wonder nobody at the factory has ever blown the whistle on, well,
everyone else. After all, the shenanigans here would be enough to send
even the most-experienced HR director into hysterics."
