REVIEW OF TAG MOVIE SERIAL

Highlighted by a few oddball scenes of random exploitation and a truly well-mad scene involving a trip wire and explosive in a river, the movie is set to a fantastic, pulsing synth-heavy soundtrack and features some impressive stunt and pyrotechnic work as well as some really impressive location work and set design. High on tension and atmosphere but light on character development, Dog Tags is much more competently made than your average Italian Namsploitation epic from the eighties. Understandably, they snatch it up, but as they fight their way out of the jungle and hope to get to safety, alliances form and shift and greed becomes a factor that threatens their very chances of survival.

When they get to the actual helicopter, however, they find that it actually contains a stash of gold. Without much of a choice in the matter, they oblige and, of course, have to fight their way through plenty of enemy soldiers and dangerous situations. See, an American military helicopter was shot down not too far from where they’re located, and there’s some classified information in there that Newport needs this rag-tag crew to retrieve.

Our heroes are successful and manage to get their men out without nearly as much trouble as you’d expect them to run into, but once that part of their mission is over, they get word from a higher up named Captain Newport (Mike Monty, who seemed to show up in every Italian war movie made in the eighties) that there’s more for them to do deep inside enemy territory. Written and directed by Romano Scavolini and highly influenced by his own experiences in Vietnam as a journalist, 1987’s Dog Tags tells the story of a few commandos led by Cecil (Clive Wood) and Jack (Peter Elich) who are sent deep into the thick of Vietnam in the middle of the way in hopes that they’ll be able to safely retrieve a handful of their fellow American soldiers that are being held there as prisoners of war. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.Cast: Clive Wood, Baird Stafford, Robert Haufrecht, Peter Elich, Mike Monty, Jim Gaines, Robert Marius The Motion Picture Association rating is R - restricted. The OSV News classification is O – morally offensive. The film contains pervasive gory violence, cannibalism, abuse of dead bodies, a vengeance theme and relentless rough and crude language. The whole enterprise amounts to a coarse exercise in devaluing human life. The idea is to cheer each killing as though it were a gymnastics stunt. There are subplots designed to keep the audience guessing the killer’s identity, but speculation is not the intended activity. The flick’s defining moment comes when a pop-up turkey timer is jammed into the neck of a woman who has been roasted alive. Patrick Dempsey is Sheriff Newlon, who proves utterly ineffectual as the corpses stack ever higher. Jessica (Nell Verlaque), the daughter of the store owner, is the nimblest and most imaginative of the intended victims, and so can hold her own as bodies sometimes explode around her. Along with his costume, the predator is equipped with an ax, some power tools and other deadly gear.

This has something to do with a deadly tragedy at a big-box store when Black Friday customers were trampled to death in an ugly stampede as the doors were opened.įlash forward a year and a group of feckless, foul-mouthed teens in Plymouth, Massachusetts – along with some other locals – are being pursued by a serial killer disguised, complete with pilgrim hat, as Mayflower passenger John Carver, the area’s onetime colonial governor. The slicing and dicing comes as the result of a drive for revenge. The movie is based on the mock trailer by director Eli Roth that was included in the 2007 film “Grindhouse.” It was accompanied by the tag line, “White meat. So there’s abundant blood, many different ways to kill, maim and disembowel victims, gory sight gags and the occasional self-referential quip. NEW YORK (OSV News) – The soul-deadening platter of splatter “Thanksgiving” (Sony) is intended as a comedic homage to exploitation horror films of the past.
