Good anthology horror from John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper
This was a pilot episode for a possible series on Showtime. Showtime wanted to spend less money on it, so the idea was aborted and John Carpenter continued to make feature films. All three episodes are packed with guest appearances and cameos by many great actors and horror directors. Performances in all of them are excellent and each episode has a different tone and style. The first is somewhat of a slasher. The second is a bizarre comedy with sci fi elements. Both of those were directed by John Carpenter. The third is the darkest and is directed by Tobe Hooper. Body Bags has a lot of actors that are very talented, but very underrated that normally don’t get to do this type of stuff like Robert Carradine and Mark Hamill. Stacy Keach is always excellent as well and does great here. As far as I am concerned the Tales From The Crypt series on HBO is the best anthology horror there is. Body Bags would have made a good series and could have been able to compete with it if it could maintain this sort of quality. John Carpenter is the host of this show and has the right delivery and the right hair to keep up with The Cryptkeeper.
Scary, Bizarre, Highly Enjoyable Trilogy Of TV Terror
A cheerful coroner introduces three spine-chilling tales to tantalise us; a young woman is terrorised at a lonely gas station by a homicidal maniac, a vain man obsessed with his thinning hair unwisely agrees to a new miracle growth treatment, and a baseball player who receives an eye transplant starts to have disturbing visions of its former owner.This is a way above average TV-movie made for the Showtime cable network by two great horror filmmakers, with a nicely crafted script by Billy Brown and Dan Angel. If it has a flaw, it’s that the stories descend in quality as they go on; The Gas Station is a terrific heart-in-your-mouth suspenser, Hair is a hilariously silly satire of middle-aged male vanity, but Eye is a dogmatic and familiar variant of the old Les Mains D’Orlac tale, albeit with a clever visual/religious twist. Its main appeal is the cult movie fan’s dream cast; they aren’t exactly good (with the exception of Keach, who is outstanding) but boy are they weird ! Carpenter appears in his only real acting role (mercifully perhaps) as the gleeful, cackling Cryptkeeper of a coroner, Warner (with a fabulous rug) and Harry run a kooky clinic, Easton and Twiggy are thankless girlfriends, various iconic film directors appear – Wes Craven (as a creep), Sam Raimi (as a corpse), Roger Corman (as a doctor) – and Carpenter regulars Carradine, Flower and Jason all play ne’er-do-wells. It’s a howl. It also has some cracking scenes, like Flower’s sudden appearance, or the two-minute take of Keach admiring himself in the mirror, and Carpenter – who is made-up, but not much, he really does look that scary – is pretty irresistible, drinking formaldehyde, chatting to his newly-deceased clientele and generally hamming it up. This is a hard-to-find, minor TV classic, but well worth it for horror fans. Purists please note – the DVD print released by Artisan Home Entertainment runs about two minutes shorter than the original, taking out some gore and nudity, Craven’s bit, a scene with Twiggy on the phone, various morgue gags and a great final shot of Carpenter. A neat little weird horror flick.
