Carnival Magic (Blu-ray)

For his penultimate film, exploitation legend Al Adamson (SATANS SADISTS, DRACULA VS. FRANKESTEIN) made perhaps the strangest move of his career with this surreal foray into family entertainment: Severin Kids presents Adamsons first childrens movie, a delightful tale of alcoholism, domestic violence, a talking chimp with a brassiere fetish, vivisection, suicide, The Freak-Out Girl Regina Carrol in her final performance flaunting an array of skintight/low-cut outfits, and not a single role for children. Don Stewart (THE GUIDING LIGHT) and Joe Cirillo (GHOSTBUSTERS) co-star in the infamous 80s oddity that has been hailed as possibly the worst kiddie movie ever made (DVD Drive-In) and the finest family film since E.T. (Joe Franklin), now scanned from the only surviving pre-print 35mm elements with all-new Special Features including his last complete feature, the Sandra Dee starrer LOST that reveal Als bizarre kiddie matinee legacy.
