Edward Delacorte (Robert Vaughn) is the director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency who incurs the wrath of the Paradorian dictator General Belmondo (Oliver Reed) when the general's drug-dealing son is arrested. The irate dictator orders a plane carrying students from Loyola Marymount to be hijacked and flown to his South American country. Ten young women including Edward's daughter Lucy (Lisa Rinna) are held prisoner. Belmondo threatens to torture and kill them all unless his son is released within 72 hours. Piranhas feast on human flesh and the femmes create quite a stir themselves when they prove to be adept at handling semi-automatic weapons to fight the forces of the despotic dictator. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

This demented fusion of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with the legend of Jack the Ripper marks one of the final roles for Anthony Perkins, and certainly one of the weirdest performances of his career. Perkins plays Dr. Jekyll as more of a dedicated 19th-century man of medicine than an obsessed eccentric -- whose research into a safe form of anaesthetic leads to the accidental discovery of cocaine! Jekyll's inadvertent freebasing of the vapors from a cocaine/ether mixture triggers his transformation into Hyde - a murderer of prostitutes who dubs himself "Jack," thus allowing the convenient transition into the "Jack the Ripper" phase of the plot. This Hungarian production has fairly high production values, but Perkins' over-the-top antics and some glaring anachronisms (Jack's streetwalker victims sport accessories that look like Madonna's hand-me-downs) make it impossible to take seriously as a horror film. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

In this swashbuckler a despotic colonial governor has made it legal to punish people with the terrifying and excruciatingly painful split-tongue whip, called the Dragonard. Fortunately, a handsome hero appears and stops him. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

In this exploitation drama, an octet of teens survive a plane crash and end up stranded on a lonely island inhabited only by a ruthless gang of drug smugglers. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

As five eager gamers begin playing a medieval-themed board game that pits contestants against one another in the ultimate battle for supernatural supremacy, an unstoppable force of darkness is suddenly unleashed. Now possessed by an evil powerful enough to dictate his every move, one of the gamers - a fantasy-prone costume clerk - suddenly sets out on a blood-soaked killing spree. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This sci-fi spoof stars Frank Stallone (Sly's brother) as Tony Mareda, Jr., a hot-shot private detective. Mareda leaves the funeral of his father, and while on the road and chased by two gunmen, he picks up a winsome hitchhiker and they end up at a drive in movie. While a "Zombie Beach Party 3" film flickers across the screen, a local weatherman and his date start talking about life in outer space, and lo-and-behold, a pink meteorite lands not far from the drive-in. It turns out that this "pink Mamma" transforms innocent, nubile maidens into pink chiquitas whose lust for men is a prelude to enslaving them and taking over the world. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
