This bizarre horror satire involves a rabies-like virus which is spread by a philandering fellow to several harried housewives in the same suburban community, turning them into savage cannibals. That's it for the setup -- what remains is a series of outrageously gory scenes in which the maniacal mommies begin hacking up, cooking, and eating everyone in sight, including local police, stray cats, their loutish husbands, and even their own children. It's up to a few surviving kids to unite against the neighborhood menace and join forces with a doctor to come up with a cure for their mothers' lethal affliction. Fans of "splatstick" gore-fests in the vein of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive and Bad Taste should find this one entertaining, poor acting and numerous technical flaws notwithstanding. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

In this often violent, undistinguished western, Yellow Hair (Laurene Landon) and her cohort the Pecos Kid (Ken Roberson) are out to wrest some gold from the hands of the Tulipan nation but have to battle a Mexican general and several others, as well as the Tulipan themselves before they can even think of getting their hands on the treasure. Knowledge is on their side since they were raised by an Apache woman, and although Yellow Hair is more than just an average warrior-women, she is in just an average film, at best. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

In this routine, violent, and often trite female version of Conan, Hundra (Laurene Landon) is an Amazon whose tribe is slaughtered one day while she is away hunting, now it is up to her to find a suitable mate and begin to create a new tribe of little Hundras. Hundra's search takes her to a walled city, but before she finds the ideal male (he is a doctor), she has a lot of head-bashing and sword brandishing to do. Energetic but not exactly fast-paced, this may be an interesting film for feminists, or it may not. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Producer, writer, director, and lead actor Max Boulois gives credit to William Shakespeare in the credits to this film, but Will's last name is misspelled. This is one of several oversights which tend to leave Othello's story a little disjointed in parts. In Boulois' incarnation, Othello is a black U.S. mercenary in Africa who falls in love with the daughter of a Senator from Boston. The commando group that includes Othello and the erstwhile Desdemona then gets transferred over to a Central American country where the rest of the plot unfolds to the detriment of the lead characters, killing off all chances for a sequel. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

This drama concerns the passage to womanhood of an adolescent girl. Even though the story includes some antediluvian jokes, it marks the first time Spanish authorities allowed such a topic to make it past the censors. The girl has a crush on her high-school teacher and has her first menstrual period. Her classmates' general ignorance about sexual matters is set forth for all to see, and this ignorance causes the heroine a lot of distress until it is dispelled. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

That's Ray Milland all right, making the best of a seedy situation in the Spanish-lensed Student Connection. He plays the headmaster of an exclusive boys' school, who is conducting an affair with a married woman. Driven by passion, Milland kills his paramour's husband. He then discovers that one of his students saw him commit the crime...and thus begins a chain of homicides which ends only moments before the film does. The Student Connection doesn't appear on Ray Milland's "official" resume, and we can't say that we blame him. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
