DITA responds; 'By watching her 'E! TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY'.
'Derek responds; Oh! Well I am just going to have to get Streaming services installed in my coffin!!!
DITA; You do that babe, while I start my Review of 'NOT OF THIS EARTH'!
This, fun, culty little sci-fi horror romp is definitely falls into my 'guilty-pleasure' category. The film starts out with a 'Space-Vampire' landing in the earth's atmosphere from outer space, badly in need of human-blood! After landing in 'Lover's Lane' he happens upon a horny couple copulating in the backseat of their car, with much boob-age on display! What??? It's a Roger Corman Film, that's to be expected, silly!
First the 'Space-Vampire' grabs the guys neck while in, I'll just say, 'the-act', and tears his throat out. Which of course leaves the top-less girl screaming 'bloody-murder'. He then removes his dark glasses to reveal his white-gleaming eyes that suck the life, literally right out of you. He then applies a clamp to her neck and removes the blood he so desperately needs to survive. Not enough hemoglobin on his home-planet, perhaps? He then goes for a quickie-transfusion at a Dr.'s office where Traci Lords character 'Nadine' works as a sexy nurse! Is their any other kind in horror/sci-fi genre???
He decides to hire Traci/Nadine as his personal nurse to give in-home transfusions for 2.00 dollars a week. Nice!!! While there, she eventually becomes suspicious of him. The Vampire also has the 'power-of-hypnotic suggestion/mind control' to get people to do his bidding. Nadine starts to investigate a little closer along with his horny, shifty, lecherous Chauffer (played well by Lenny Juliano.) DITA thinks he's sexy, the chauffer, that is. Especially in a scene where he takes of his shirt to reveal a big chest in a tight-tank top!!! Oh, my, another new DITA-Crush, indeed! 'As Jayne Mansfield stated in her 'cult-flick' 'DOG EAT DOG', 'CRACKERS, he's cute!!!
In the mean-time, our
'Space-Vamp' has taken various victims for their blood, which includes 3
fun acting, big breasted Hookers off Sunset, DITA's old corner, mind
you, and a 'Strip-O-Gram' Girl, who makes the deadly mistake of coming
to his house to deliver the afore mentioned 'Strip-O-Grams', to the
wrong address and 'wrong;' customer! She is also big-breasted! Are you
sensing a theme here, my 'little spider-bites'??? To make a long story
short, Nadine's former Boss, the Dr. discovers a link from the Vampire's
Blood Sample and the rash of recent Vampire-style murders around town
and eventually solve the case of the mysterious 'Space-Vamp' and stop
the bad guy by..............................???
