Sorry for those who had the misfortune of seeing the wrong upload. Force: Five will be here next week. Uploading our intended video ran fowl of repeated copyright issues. So we need some time to fix that. (Of course Patreon members can enjoy Force:Five and now the too hot for RUclips cut of this film.)
...Ted Watkins himself, Ronald Tanet, shared his thoughts on the film. “Look, they paid me six grand to make an ass of myself in public and I usually do that for free." Quoted from Bleeding Skull Moral-even a naked woman can't salvage, let alone save a bad movie.
Mr. Boggy Britches looks like the life model for one of the 12inch GI Joes an older cousin liked to play with so much. ...which may explain a few things.
Caught this one several years ago. So much strange: the short shorts on our hero just about breaks it. Then there's the INTERMINABLE canoe time. The dance. This one goes so far beyond bad.
Notable film resurrection? That's when the Tree Monster/Tabonga rises from the pit it's been smoked in, in that cult cinematic masterpiece, From Hell It Came. And, boy, did it ever!
7:25 Haven't seen a fireplace messed up that bad since Manos. Was originally going to ask how that guy way out in the backwater had a metal box of ice for his beer...but I guess when your girlfriend's a magical snake....
Please, daisy duke shorts must be outlawed east of Pueblo, CO all the way to the Kansas border. I shutter to think of the whales squeezing their flab into those with pulsating tattoos popping out.
Best resurrection scene: The Mummy's Ghost (the old Universal film), when the woman slowly crawls out of the mud. It's really a great moment of someone clawing their way to freedom after an age trapped underground.
I like how the corpses/zombies come back to life in the graveyard under acid rain scene in Return of the living dead, especially that skeleton opening its eyes. Very remeniscent of my childhood trauma, aka Michael Jackson's Thriller
"...if that doesn't bring him back from the dead, nothing will!" Ladies and gentlemen, the best laugh I've had all day! Gives whole new meaning to the term "making a dead man rise."
In the list of "logical, yet so very dumb" things to say... "We've heard as many fake confessions as we've got unsolved murders" is right up there with "I lost my mood ring and I don't know how I feel about that".
I know people who worked on this and Weis' other film Mardi Gras Massacre. I so badly wanted to do a documentary on him but none of them were interested. They figured it would be just ranting about how awful and inept he was but that would be the point.
I'm glad you covered this one. I first saw this last year on Tubi and thought I had discovered another Ed Wood in director Jack Weiss--absurd storytelling, loopy dialogue, iffy camerawork, etc. So I immediately checked out his other two movies Death Brings Roses (1975) and Mardi Gras Massacre (1978). Alas, they were just ordinary bad movies that did not reach the heights of lunacy seen here.
I'm seeing a lot of Ed Wood's influence in the lack of logic in the plot and the weak script, not to mention the budget-saving measure of using the same furniture for different sets. At least the leading lady is articulate, which is more than can be said for some of her co-stars.
1:30 _Whoa!_ Those are some short shorts! Would you call those David Dukes? 3:12 Ha! Nice transition back to the movie! Better resurrections? Well.. let's see... there's Conner Macleod from the first *Highlander...* Eric Draven from *The Crow...* maybe Murphy from *Robocop?...* hmm, oh yeah. Jesus Christ. That's a good one.
This movie should be remade with the current crop of popular stand up comedians. I'm seeing Ari, Tom, Shane, Bert, Sam, Mark, et al.They can all play a part!
From the Ed Wood School of film making 😵💫😵💫😵 I also noticed that the Sheriff and his Deputy not only not believe Snake Women , they don't believe holsters either. Just wondering which one was going to blows hid balls off first.
I've seen a lot of "bad movies", but this looks to be the least thought-out film of all time. Where did that guy get $20,000 in cash from? He looks too young to have saved it up from working, and you don't get inheritance in the form of cash. And why did he need to put it in the bank all of a sudden? Why did the two guys need to kill him? They could have just waited for him to leave (he has to buy food at some point) & stolen the money then. What was the point of having the murder victim resurrected if he wasn't going to do anything to the guys who killed him? Seems to me that the only point of this film being made was to have that girl dance around naked.
Harrigan, "I don't believe you murdered the Captain Cut-offs; however, trying to pull an April Fool's joke not on April Fool's Day is a crime around these parts. The sentence is death."
This is definitely a WTF movie! I feel I'll have to get really sauced to watch this. I'm still trying to drum up interest for a Robin Bailes Funko Pop! Anyone else?!

Any of your uploads are not the wrong ones
nae worries big man!!!😁👍
Definitely wouldn't call it a misfortune.
I was just going to ask if the eclipse made the video late.
All is good, we love listening to you anyway.
"We've heard as many fake confessions as we've got unsolved murders." 🤣🤣🤣
Classic Robin! 😄👍
MST3K, RiffTrax, Cinematic Titanic, etc. would be proud of that one!🤣
I dunno why, but with each clip of this flick shown, I kept expecting Angela Lansbury to turn up and solve everything
If only because Scooby Doo and the gang were busy...
Mary Magdalene being a mystical snake woman with resurrection powers is a massive plot twist from the Director's Cut of The Bible.
"...Uh, you may have missed the defining characteristic of meteorites".
Absolutely cracked me up! I actually had to pause the video.
"Primitive sexy dance" seems to be a real trope of old b-movies.
"I'm a snake-woman agnostic." 😅
I'm also a snake-woman agnostic. But I hold out hope that a Ray Harryhausen Medusa exists in real life.
...Ted Watkins himself, Ronald Tanet, shared his thoughts on the film. “Look, they paid me six grand to make an ass of myself in public and I usually do that for free." Quoted from Bleeding Skull
Moral-even a naked woman can't salvage, let alone save a bad movie.
LOL 👍
You had me at boggy creek cut offs. Came for the review, stayed for the cut offs.
"I'm a snake woman agnostic." Finally! I've been searching all my life for the others!
Honorable mention for Tor Johnson's rising from a cardboard lined grave in PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE.
My absolute favorite. YHWH bless Tor and Ed.
"Time for go to bed"
Mr. Boggy Britches looks like the life model for one of the 12inch GI Joes an older cousin liked to play with so much. ...which may explain a few things.
Very true.
That mystical rock (or boulder) looks to me like the world's biggest russet potato. (I love potatoes.)
Caught this one several years ago. So much strange: the short shorts on our hero just about breaks it. Then there's the INTERMINABLE canoe time. The dance. This one goes so far beyond bad.
"I got you some cold beer" - I half expected a Cervesa Crystal meme there
Notable film resurrection? That's when the Tree Monster/Tabonga rises from the pit it's been smoked in, in that cult cinematic masterpiece, From Hell It Came. And, boy, did it ever!
Oh man, I haven't seen that one in a long time! But the tree monster and quicksand scene still haunt me!
Cinemassacres Monster Madness introduced me too the Tree horror film. Haven't recovered in a decade
Freddy Krueger coming back to life at the beginning of A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4 might be my favorite resurrection scene of all time.
7:25 Haven't seen a fireplace messed up that bad since Manos.
Was originally going to ask how that guy way out in the backwater had a metal box of ice for his beer...but I guess when your girlfriend's a magical snake....
They even messed up the "restoration" of Manos.
Well, it's no "Night of the Cobra Woman."
If only you had an in-house snake woman expert!
Better call Dad.
the "assistant" might be a better option in this case.
Boggy Creek cut-offs? Well, we can't all wear Daisy Duke shorts.
Please, daisy duke shorts must be outlawed east of Pueblo, CO all the way to the Kansas border. I shutter to think of the whales squeezing their flab into those with pulsating tattoos popping out.
Best resurrection scene: The Mummy's Ghost (the old Universal film), when the woman slowly crawls out of the mud. It's really a great moment of someone clawing their way to freedom after an age trapped underground.
That's very good(and a bit unexpected) for it's time.
It is a very memorable and creepy scene.
I like how the corpses/zombies come back to life in the graveyard under acid rain scene in Return of the living dead, especially that skeleton opening its eyes. Very remeniscent of my childhood trauma, aka Michael Jackson's Thriller
"...if that doesn't bring him back from the dead, nothing will!"
Ladies and gentlemen, the best laugh I've had all day! Gives whole new meaning to the term "making a dead man rise."
I was thinking of the eunuch test from History of the World.
He used to be a fine, upstanding member of Boggybottom society; now, he's a real stiff.
Now I'm ready for "Crypt of Dark Secrets - The Musical".....Keep up the good work !
Tor Johnson being resurrected in Plan 9 From Outer Space. It took him considerable effort to escape his tomb.
I wonder if Lt Harriman ever used margarine.
“I can’t believe it’s not butter.”
wait, a meteorite made her immortal? is she related to Vandal Savage?
In the list of "logical, yet so very dumb" things to say... "We've heard as many fake confessions as we've got unsolved murders" is right up there with "I lost my mood ring and I don't know how I feel about that".
Best bit of dialogue was snake woman going "ssshhh"😊
This is actually a competently made film when compared to director Jack Weis' followup "The Mardi Gras Massacre."
I know people who worked on this and Weis' other film Mardi Gras Massacre. I so badly wanted to do a documentary on him but none of them were interested. They figured it would be just ranting about how awful and inept he was but that would be the point.

Misspelled the director's name. It's Jack Weis.
I'm seeing a lot of Ed Wood's influence in the lack of logic in the plot and the weak script, not to mention the budget-saving measure of using the same furniture for different sets. At least the leading lady is articulate, which is more than can be said for some of her co-stars.
Ho, boy.
Making movies in the 70s must have been wild.
That chair was a popular model, like the poster of the dogs playing poker. 🙂
best resurrection scene is The Sword and the Sorcerer, the resurrection of Sachi of Delos
Surely you mean Zucha
I think they are trying for French Cajun southern accent. Rare!
I like the touch of the button glowing magically at the appropriate moment! .....and under the video!
Not gonna lie, I was expecting at least one crypt.
3:16 Uh, oh. Does Ray Parker Jr have another lawsuit on his hands?
By him or against him? The former are pretty rare.
A film that goes off the rails in two snakes of a lambs tail.
1:30 _Whoa!_ Those are some short shorts! Would you call those David Dukes?
3:12 Ha! Nice transition back to the movie!
Better resurrections? Well.. let's see... there's Conner Macleod from the first *Highlander...* Eric Draven from *The Crow...* maybe Murphy from *Robocop?...* hmm, oh yeah. Jesus Christ. That's a good one.
Love your commentaries... Man they're funny.
“And I use the word ‘explain’ quite wrongly.” 😂😂
Oh dey dooey Dhamballa, gimme the power I beg of you!
Best resurrection scene: THE CROW
Runner up: Chuck Norris driving out of his make-shift grave in LONE WOLF McQUADE.
I like the biker riding out of the grave in Psychomania; which, I believe, was the inspiration for the album cover for "Bat Out of Hell".
It’s rare to see a movie that Rifftraxs itself 😂
This RUclips channel feels like it belongs on 90s channel 4 yes it's that good
Editing and clip choice is fantastic in this review :)
This movie should be remade with the current crop of popular stand up comedians. I'm seeing Ari, Tom, Shane, Bert, Sam, Mark, et al.They can all play a part!
Dracula's resurrection from Dracula Prince of Darkness.
Agreed. Dracula: Prince of Darkness is a great resurrection in a great film.
From the Ed Wood School of film making 😵💫😵💫😵 I also noticed that the Sheriff and his Deputy not only not believe Snake Women , they don't believe holsters either. Just wondering which one was going to blows hid balls off first.
You think this one's bad, you should see the director's followup The Mardi Gras Massacre.
Another fantastic episode.💯
That resurrection scene would have been even better with "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones.
“If only our department could afford holsters.”
And how does Damballah end up with a incredibly stiff upper class British accent?
I've seen a lot of "bad movies", but this looks to be the least thought-out film of all time. Where did that guy get $20,000 in cash from?

Seems to me that the only point of this film being made was to have that girl dance around naked.
The acting in this thing is abysmal! And I do agree that it's so bad it's also amusing. What a hot mess.
I'm amazed by the Hershel Gordon Lewis style acting.
It had a very HGL feel about it, didn't it?
You crack me up!!! Thankyou.
Somehow Palpatine came back. A snake woman could have been involved.
Another great bad movie review from Dark Corners. 🖖🏼
"and I use the word explains quite wrongly."
As always perfect perfect stuff. I didn't think he'd be able to spell CASH either.
Can't beat a film with interpretive dance
Harrigan, "I don't believe you murdered the Captain Cut-offs; however, trying to pull an April Fool's joke not on April Fool's Day is a crime around these parts. The sentence is death."
If Ted becomes the new Tamballa, let's all give thanks that the movie ends before _he_ does his full front-and-back nude dance!
I'm not sure I'm ready to believe you actually reviewed this film even though I watched your review. I just don't know.
What?! You don't have an idea about making a movie based on a woman who turns into a snake and a creepy guy in cut-off shorts?😂
@@shannondore I guess we'll have to wing it.
the woman who swims in the lake
The one who turns into a snake
Bars 🔥🔥🔥🔥
For a split second, I thought the dark haired girl was Laura Gemser.
American comedian Gallagher's first serious movie acting role, I see.
I think I have this poster folded somewhere
Damballa you say? Must be Charles Lee Rays favorite film😆
This movie has one great scene.
It’s hard to make fun of, but that’s why you’re the best
Yup! That's definitely a lot of beer and some pizza kind of movie. Going to watch this one on a friday night. Cheers!😀👍👍👍👍
I believe!!
This was a great one! 👍👍👍
Robin, next year, Mardi Gras falls on March 4 so if you review Jack Weis' Mardi Gras Massacre, that would be when to upload it
Golly if this is a substitute for "force 5", I can't wait to see how dire is the latter!
We hope to get it out but copyright may prevent.
I suppose poor old Ted there has the problem that Strippers 'r Us is the only clothes shop for hundreds of miles around.
Lt.Harrigan looked different in Predator 2 😊
The resurrection of Frank Cotton in Hellraiser is a better resurrection
I'm not forgetting that i saw Force: Five. I'll give it my view, but i wont forget i got two uploads today
Does Jason Voorhees being struck by lightning count?
If only the opening was true.
That IS Ted's chair! 🤣
Hey... better than the Resurrection Bit in 'Game of Thrones'!
The interpretive dance appears to be on a Playstation controller.
So, the bad guys confessed, their confession is rejected, then are forced to be voodoo to death.
What the hell, man.
This is definitely a WTF movie! I feel I'll have to get really sauced to watch this.
I'm still trying to drum up interest for a Robin Bailes Funko Pop! Anyone else?!
I know what film swept up ALL the Oscar acting nominations that year.
Just watched this and I'm struggling to remember a crypt. The nudity is quite something though.
The same director who made Mardi Gras Massacre which does not feature a massacre.
She's a bit small for Dumballah.
Seein that ending: Uhm, what?
Dambala? The rainbow serpent?
Had one question. Chances you might review films like 1995's Cruel Jaws, 2011's Tied In Blood and/or 2015's Shark Exorcist?
Cruel Jaws is filmed and edited and will be out in a couple of weeks!
@@DarkCornersReviews - Will definitely watch that review. Thanks.
It’s Kind Jaws I was hoping for…
The title 'Shark Exorcist' looks promising!
@@diegoferreiro9478 It's certainly something.
C-A-S-H.... and omg that is one helluva denim out- fit! LOL
Ha, this was fun!
She lives in the lake and turns into a snake ...
Where's the crypt?
The title tells you nothing about the film. I went in expecting something else entirely.
