Burglar From Hell

Loved it for the laughs.

Peak Saturn’s Core energy. Burglar From **** has undead burglar mayhem, SOV grime, practical splatter, bad jokes, beach-house weirdness, and enough handmade Queens horror charm to make the rough edges part of the appeal. The bonus Phil Herman material is a great addition too.

This is an extremely hard film to recommend objectively, as it sits deep in the amateur, no‑budget end of the SOV spectrum. That said, as someone with a soft spot for shot‑on‑video horror, this one scratches a very specific itch with its awkward charm and unintentional humor. I can’t honestly give it more than two stars, but fellow SOV fans may find it oddly funny and endearingly fun.

Glad to add this hilarious gem to my growing Saturn’s Core collection! Vinegar Syndrome never fails! Amazing slipcover art as well!

It must have been the time period, but so many SOV movies just seem overlong. I think there was an expectation of a certain run length though most didn't have the plot to support it. This one certainly takes its time, but it offers up enough fun throughout that fans of SOV video can find strong points. You do have the very first movie (and great nude scene) from b-move starlet Debbie D. Funny dialog, but intentional and not. The best is the the diversion into the hood that takes an after school special turn. And the interviews on the disc with the director and Debbie D are both worth a watch. More special features I haven't explored yet. The slipcover art is pretty cool.

So choose freedom of speech, order up a pie of pizza, give your complete belief, and choose to live as one, not as colors. And DON'T mix up your resurrection spell with your rain spell.
