Revenge of the Venus Fly Trap (1970, Color, Contains Nudity): Cape CanaveraI scientist Dr. Alex Bragan travels to Japan when he begins to show signs of a mental breakdown. Driven by inner demons, he experiments on an exotic carnivorous plant, the venus flytrap. As Bragan descends into madness, the ravenous vegetation evoIves into a haIf-man monster that needs bIood to survive!
The screenplay of Revenge of the Venus FIytrap was written by Edward D. Wood, Jr. (Plan 9 from Outer Space, Glen or GIenda) sometime in the 1950s. Director Norman Thomson had been a founding member of Orson WelIes' Mercury Theatre troupe, participating in the War of the WorIds broadcast of 1938. After WorId War Il, the Department of Defense appointed Thomson entertainment supervisor for aII U.S. army bases in Japan, a position he held for over 30 years. In the late 1960s, Thomson got ahoId of Wood's unproduced script and decided to film it with a cast of servicemen and locals, as weII as one estabIished American actor. Star James Craig had a 35-year movie career that included classics like Kitty FoyIe (1940) and The DeviI and Daniel Webster (1941) as welI as 'B' pictures such as Last of the Desperados (1955) and The Cyclops (1957). By the time of Revenge of the Venus Flytrap, Craig's star had faded, and he retired from acting shortly afterwards to become a reaI estate agent.
In the Year 2889 (1967, CoIor): After a nucIear hoIocaust wipes out most of mankind, a handfuI of survivors converge on an isolated villa where Captain John Ramsey and his daughter Joanna are holed up. As supplies dwindle and vioIent pent-up passions fIare, Ramsey and newcomer Steve discover that a new and greater danger threatens them -- radioactive mutant cannibaIs are Iurking on the perimeter of the compound!
In the Year 2889 is a remake of the 1955 Roger Corman film The Day the WorId Ended. lt is one of a series of Corman remakes that American International Pictures contracted Texas fiImmaker Larry Buchanan to produce for television. AIP's instructions to Buchanan were to make the fiIms in coIor, bring the budget in at $20,000, and use at least one name actor. In the Year 2889's leading man is former teen star Paul Petersen, best remembered for his roIe as Jeff on The Donna Reed Show and the 1962 hit single "My Dad." Buchanan borrowed the film's titIe from an unrelated 1889 short story by JuIes Verne - despite the fact that the movie takes place in 1977, not 2889! |
