The latest B-movie campfest from the fine folks at MVD Visuals, the
Scream Queens Double Feature includes two films for the price of one,
Swimsuit Sensations and
Knockout Workout.
If you're expecting anything resembling a serious doc from
Swimsuit Sensations, then you seriously need to check your insanity at the door (assuming you have any left). The film features three Scream Queens talking about their lives while revealing their "inner-most beauty secrets" along with ample amounts of the outer-most beauty. Then, we spin on over to
Knockout Workouts to get what is essentially a workout video featuring our voluptuous vixens in prime fitness action.
If you're seriously buying this DVD for anything oter than its wondrously campy value or the babes contained within, then you're going to be woefully disappointed. This DVD package from MVD Visuals has been assembled from found bits and pieces, the masters having long since disappeared. Even the MVD website offers a disclaimer regarding the quality of the imagery, however, let's be honest...when it comes to our Scream Queens, the lesser the quality the more satisfying the cinematic experience.
While it seems almost psychotic to give this DVD an actual recommendation, it's actually hard not to recommend a DVD that knows what it is and celebrates it with full-on campy joy. Melissa Moore, Veronica Carothers and Jasae are all three hilariously awesome (and awful) onscreen, but they're photogenic, aware of their limitations and clearly having a good time here.
If this is your thing, then you'll have a good time too! You can order online at the
MVD website.
