Dreadfully Boring

Boring

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

'The Undead' is weird and sometimes confusing horror thriller that mixes reincarnation with time travel. Prostitute Diana Love (Pamela Duncan) is put into hypnotic trance by psychic Quintus Ratcliff (Val Dufor) and sent back into her previous life as Helen who is about to beheaded as witch in the dark ages at the night of Witch Sabbath. The premise is exciting enough and the ridiculous dialogue is well acted like usually in Corman's movies. The sets built out of plywood and Styrofoam are seemingly fake. Even the winged creatures that real witch Livia (Allisson Hayes) and her evil Imp are changing themselves are reused from Corman's earlier film 'It Conquered the World'. That is how cheep he made his movies.While watching Roger Corman's movies, I occasionally think about the ideas used in his movies and what if he didn't need to rush his productions, but could allow to develop the screenplays and had a bigger budgets to use? Of course they might not be such an outrageous pieces of entertainment anymore as one immediately understands that all his inventiveness was direct result of small budgets. Oh well, one can dream sometimes.'The Undead' is undeservedly overlooked and even forgotten horror film that again is rather interesting compared to other such productions from that era.Again, I have to admit the world(cinema) would be much poorer without Roger Corman and his company of writers/actors.

Roger Corman directed this strange mix of science and the supernatural, a thriller about two scientists studying psychic phenomenon who enlist the help of a woman(played by Pamela Duncan) to regress her into a past life. They succeed, and she finds herself in medieval times where she is a condemned witch. She changes her fate, which alters the future, so one of the hypnotists regresses himself back there as well,using her as a host(or something like that.) Meanwhile, a witch(played by Allison Hayes) tries to kill her as well. Can she avoid being beheaded, and save the future? Hopelessly muddled and absurd film is a cult favorite with some, but much too bizarre, confusing, and unappealing. Not on DVD yet, but was seen on YouTube at one time.

Brilliant.Nothing less suffice. I guess I have seen about 70 MST3K films over the years, and this has to be the best. Stuff like "Future War" and "Outlaw of Gor" came close, but the quality of the jokes - and the sheer volume of them - makes this an almost non-stop laugh. Also worth mentioning is that Mike and the bots laugh and snicker a lot more of their own gags along the way so you really get the impression that they enjoyed doing this more than others. This cannot help but make you laugh a bit more as well. Also the gags are quick to comment on the stuff that you, as a b-movie fan, spot yourself. Those are the best gags in my opinion.The movie itself is suffering from mediocre acting, lack of extras and limited sets/locations - but knowing how the movie was filmed and that the budget was so limited (see trivia about the movie) then nonetheless a good effort - but not the director's best. So on my scale with about 1400 films in the bag that would be a 4, since it at least progresses somewhat coherent and you get the overall idea. Also, only a handful of bad cuts. For the MST3K version it would be far up the other end of the scale. Go see it!

As a teen I saw a number of Roger Corman films, I rank The Undead as the best. It moved me and scared me in ways that I remember to this day.but in a good nature.It was a great film .I only wish had a copy now to share with my Kids.Simple Horror films are all we were shown when I was a teen and the plots were much the same, the monsters were killed in the end and we knew that we were safe, but now things are different and there will always be "Part 2" and that the monster,whoever it might be will be back and continue his rampage thru whatever person or town that he started in.I,also think the movies that were in Black and White presented the most shock effect, Something seemed to be lost when the Horror films were shot in color.
