Spooky Spooks (1920)
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Two goofs go to the beach with a girl and her friends. One is short and heavy set, the other taller and grossly obese. Both of the men are in love with the girl.
After some shenanigans in a plot of cactus plants, each man pops the question to the girl. She tells them if they can find her pearls hidden somewhere in a supposedly haunted old "mansion", she will marry the one who does. After the men run off to the mansion, she gathers her girlfriends around to plot the gag they will pull on them.
This short subject is less then 11-minutes in length. However, it seems like hours pass before it ends. Unfunny and only for completists. Watch Laurel and Hardy or Harold Lloyd instead.
El hombre bestia (1934)
Lost pilot is turned into a caveman by a mad scientist.
This review may contain SPOILERS. So have you seen EL HOMBRE BESTIA Las Aventuras Del Captain Richard 1934? What a film. A pilot crash lands in the jungle after losing in a dogfight. (Looks like stock footage from WINGS & ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT). He becomes a poor man's Tarzan but totally insane. His loin cloth leaves his right ass cheek exposed for the entire movie. So another pilot lands in the jungle and the nutty first pilot strangles him, steals the plane, and flies back to civilization. He lands, climbs out and collapses at the front gate of a house. Not just any house. It belongs to Dr Marchesi, the local mad scientist! So the doctor takes him inside and gives him an injection. But not in the arm. He gives it to him in the left breast! Then he gives him another in the right breast! The doctor leaves and the pilot comes to, goes outside and begins attacking every woman in sight! And he has these lascivious looks on his face the whole time. Very funny. Later in the movie he is licking his lips in anticipation as he carries a victim away. Lol The mad doctor goes looking for the pilot and promptly falls down an embankment and hurts his arm. Then the pilot jumps him and beats the crap out of him. This other dude hires these three tough guys to capture the pilot but they get theirs. Hilarious. Meanwhile, the mad scientist inexplicably strangles a woman on a park bench. And towards the end, actual surgery footage is used. Recommend to all bad movie lovers.
The Craving (1918)
Man with drinking problem
This film stars Francis Ford as an alcoholic. I got the impression he was trying to discover a cure for alcoholism but I couldn't be sure. The print has Dutch inter-titles. Ford is a full blown alcoholic in the film. (I now know he had the formula for a powerful explosive. But the alcohol cure is funnier).
This film was long thought to be lost but a print has recently been found in the Netherlands. It can be viewed on the internet. Though it is listed as a horror film, it really isn't one. Ford has hallucinations due to the DTs. And there appear to be ghosts or out of body apparitions but I couldn't be sure due to the language barrier.
