As war tears apart a nation, a romantic rivalry devastates a family in this historical drama. During the height of the Civil War, Union officer Col. Evans (Miles O'Keefe) claims the estate of the Marley family as his troops lay waste to the surrounding territory. Evans and his men take two women who'd been left behind at the house, Angela and Olivia, as prisoners. Angela and Olivia are sisters, and as romantic sparks begin to fly between Evans and both women in the confined quarters of the mansion, an ugly rivalry grows between the two women as they fight over who will win the Colonel's affections. Blood and Honor features Michelle Bauer as the elder of the two sisters and Maria Ortiz as the family's fiery Cajun servant. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Euro-horror cult figure Jesús Franco directed this erotic re-telling of Mary Shelley's classic tale of terror. Moira Frankenstein (Lina Romay), the grand-daughter of noted mad scientist Dr. Frankenstein (Carlos Subterfuge), has become obsessed with the work of her ancestor and she decides to pick up the family business where he left off. Moira stitches together a female creature (Michelle Bauer) and soon discovers that her creation's sexual appetites are just as strong -- and just as wide ranging -- as her own. However, Moira's lustful relationship with the monster is tarnished when she discovers the creature has been slipping out at night for assignations with a variety of men and women. The supporting cast includes Alex Cox and Amber Newman. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

When a finalist for "Centerfold of the Year" downs an experimental beauty-enhancing potion concocted by mad-scientist Dr. Lindholm, the unforseen side effects render her a shaply 60 feet tall. Jealous over all the attention, a rival guzzles the elixir, and soon the gargantuan beauties are battling it out and trashing much of Hollywood Boulvard in the process. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Full Moon Pictures presents this softcore horror film, starring cult-favorite Julie Strain in the role of Illyana the leader of a group of vampires masquerading as models. Michelle Bauer plays an innocent and nubile young woman who thinks she's going to work for a modeling agency, but soon finds herself in the clutches of a sexy band of bloodsucking creatures of the night. Martin Sheen's brother Joe Estevez co-stars. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Shot on inferior video stock (but sporting pretentious "letterbox" screen-masking for some insane reason), this painfully cheap and sleazy affair presents a serial killer on wheels, in the form of wheelchair-bound Eugene (Ron Litman), who seeks revenge against the street punks who killed his mother and rendered him unable to walk. When similar thugs rape and kill his aunt (Mary Woronov), Eugene seems to slip into Taxi Driver mode. When his attempts at preparation are thwarted by his infirmity, he is assisted at first by a like-minded homeless man (G.J. Levinson), but when his accomplice chickens out, Eugene kills him and rises to the challenge on his own, building confidence with each attack. Eventually he hits on the ultimate plan of revenge: by poisoning the water supply with a drug that will destroy the city's wealthy populace, literally turning them into bums! Though he is ostensibly directing his revenge on society as a whole, Eugene seems to favor naked or barely-clad female victims -- which seems more indicative of the director's hang-ups than those of his principal character. A waste of time, despite the presence of the always-interesting Woronov. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

They have just begun to enjoy their domestic arrangements when a mysterious group of people move into a tin shed at the back of their apartment compound and begin making odd banging sounds in the middle of the night. Despite their strenuous efforts to evict the newcomers, or at least get them to do their noisy business during the day time, the increasingly agitated couple are unsuccessful. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

This entry in the horror thriller series shows how the mad French puppeteer Toulon created his supernaturally animated demonic marionettes. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Veteran schlock merchant Fred Olen Ray serves up this silly horror comedy with a hearty helping of gratuitous softcore skin, cheap monster effects, and walk-ons from assorted B-movie names, including David Carradine, Dick Miller, and Arte Johnson. The thin plot involves a group of curvaceous coeds whose restoration of an old mansion awakens a leering, lecherous demon who is just itching to do all manners of unspeakable things to them. Only a few minutes of screen time are devoted to the drooling cartoon monster (designed by horror critic Chas Balun), which looks like one of Robert Williams' Rat Fink creations. Miller's brief appearance is amusing, but Carradine is just hitting his marks; stars Monique Gabrielle and Madison Stone were already well on their way to lucrative careers in soft- and hardcore skin flicks. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi
