Growing up in the 70's in a small.. VERY small town. One movie theater...one screen, generally playing B movies or year-old A movies. Three television channels. At least a decade before the first VCR. This reality made for very limited choices for the teen-aged horror fan. But the one movie theater did sometimes run a special midnight horror movie on Friday and Saturday nights. I remember seeing "Count Yorga - Vampire!", "Blood and Lace", and "The House That Screamed" One I never did catch was "The Deathmaster". I saw the TV spots but it never turned up. Over the years I'd see references to it. I did finally catch it sliced to pieces (or so I thought) on a late-night TV venue. I was not that impressed. (I should have payed heed to that first impression.) But as more and more semi-rare B movies turn up on DVD, it makes the true fan anxious to see the movie the way it was supposed to be seen... widescreen and uncut. So I sought this out, bought it and watched it. It was ok, and that's being kind. Not even very scary. Both "Count Yorga" moves are far superior.Read full review
Truly a classic horror film and a must-have for any collector, the DeathMaster shines with ground-breaking and outright radical devices and moments. The movie was directed by the legendary Ray Danton whose credited films include the Creature From the Black Lagoon, the Psychic Killer and others. I was introduced to the DeathMaster as it was televised in the mid-Seventies. In it, Robert Quarry (Count Yorga, Vampire 1970 & The Return of Count Yorga, 1971) plays a long-haired hippy-type vampire leader who takes control of a group of hippies. The hero is one of the hippies by the name of Pico( Bill Ewing ); whose discipline in the Martial Arts helps him resist the efforts of the Count who gradually uses mind control to bring the others under control; except for Pico's girlfriend, Rhona. One of the most attractive things about the DeathMaster is that the hero, Pico actually uses Kung-Fu against the menacing vampires. This was a concept never used before & never used since; that I'm aware of! This deluxe DVD version is a wide-screen edition and is jam-packed with extras: Such as advertizing trailors, radio sound bites, four still galleries, a Commentary track by star Robert Quarry in which he gives interesting and often funny details backstage of the set. Thanks to Ebay I'm able to own a copy of this great work. I recommend the DeathMaster to all horror buffs.Read full review
