Thank you for the informative, well-written review for The Collingswood Story... and thanks for enlightening me on a film I had never heard of before. I love this kind of work and it is great to hear about it, especially in a prominant review on a respected website.
Keep up the great work!
I'm off to order me a DVD, now.

Never heard of this film before but I might check it out.
On a sidenote: Kudos to rhett for making his reviews so much more fun to read with stuff like:
Take out the rosary and let’s find out.
If you don’t buy this DVD then you might just be a demon.
:D

Thanks for the kind words guys, it means a lot. The director of The Collingswood Story had just sent me an email asking if I could review the DVD, and I had never heard of it before either. But someone who is that passionate about his work definitely deserves the chance to be recognized.
I'm glad you went out of your way to pick it up David. Make sure to let us know what you think of it when you do see it.

Big thumbs up to Rhett (in all seriousness), great reviews.

David, who's ass are you trying to kiss?
Rhett, your review is great. I too have never heard of this movie either. Guess I'll have to check it out now too!!! THanks!!!

Prominant as in linked on the very first page of the site.
Respected as in HorrorDVDs.com is juat that.
Just how was I kissing ass?
Snide, much? What's up with you Jamm?
Sorry dude. No offense intended. It just reads that way (maybe only to me). It's kind of like saying "gee honey, you look really good today, have I told you lately how much I love you?" and then getting to the real point which is ususally that you've done something really bad/stupid, or you want something really big!!!
back to kissing Rhett's ass instead, I'm definitely gonna check out What Have You Done to Solange? now.
OK, I was probably gonna rent it anyway, but it's a done deal now.

Awesome Paff, you should definitely enjoy it! As you can tell it is one of my favorite gialli. Let me know what you think of it, eh? :)

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Great photography and camera work, and a nice plot that exposes more and more sordid details as it unfolds. OK, the generous amounts of nudity don't hurt either.
It's definitely not a cookie-cutter paint-by-numbers black-gloved-killer Giallo.
BUT, in your review Rhett, you keep calling the main guy Henry. Wasn't his name Enrico?? (obviously, the Italian equivalent of Henry, but still...)

Awesome Paff, I am glad you liked it!
Heh, what I did was, I watched the film one morning and didn't get around to doing the review until the next day. So I used the IMDb for some of the characters names, and I just assumed the data there was right. Who ever thought the IMDb would have false information? ;)

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have an extremely hard time remembering characters names on movies. Some of my favorite movies I couldn't tell you the characters names. I could tell you the actors name, but not the character's name for shit.
Since this thread has been resurrected it reminded me that I needa check this movie out.

I'm the same way, I often have a huge problem with remembering character names. When I did reviews I always had to take notes :nervous: .

Don't let any of this get to your head, rhett. I still dislike you, and that's what really matters.

I think that's the fun of this board and a lot of my posts.

Yeah, it definitely looked like an IMDB job. Like I said, Enrico is likely Italian for Henry, so someone probably translated it for the IMDB entry.
My favorite in that vein is the listing for Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. They call one character in that movie Yukihime, which translates to "Princess Yuki". However, on IMDB, the character's name is "Princess Yukihime", or "Princess Princess Yuki"
