Product Description

A LOVE STRANGER THAN KING KONG!

From writer/director John Landis, the mind behind The Blues Brothers and An American Werewolf in London, comes a love story that transcends the boundaries of nature and good taste – the one and only Schlock!

Carnage! Terror! Banana skins! The mighty prehistoric ape Schlocktropus has emerged from hiding to embark on a full-scale rampage across a quiet Southern Californian suburb. The police are baffled. The army is powerless. The body count is rising. But when Schlocktropus encounters a kindly blind woman (Eliza Garrett, National Lampoon's Animal House) who sees beyond his grotesque visage, the homicidal simian is presented with a chance at redemption.

Shot over twelve days on a micro-budget, Schlock launched the careers of both Landis and legendary effects makeup artist Rick Baker (Videodrome). An uproarious pastiche of monster movies, packed to the gills with irreverent humor and biting satire, Schlock serves as the outrageous missing link between the creature features of yesteryear and its creators' subsequent varied and celebrated careers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Schlock!

    This movie was made in 1973. One of the first movies made by John Landis! This film is so much fun! He borrowed money from his family and friends to film this horror comedy. Rick Baker, who would later work with John again on the movie "An American Werewolf In London" created the Schlock suit for this movie. I would highly recommend it! I watched it on Tubi TV. Minutes after it finished, I ordered it on here. The Blu-ray picture and sound are both just beautiful. Give it a chance if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed!

    I had been looking for this one for years and finally found it here. It is an off the wall humor kind of movie. Doesnt look like it cost them too much to produce it, but that is also part of the charm. If you are looking for some great laughs, check this movie out

    The DVD arrived in good order in good time. I had seen the movie years ago and loved it. The story is obviously based on one of William Shakespeare's famous plays. Only the names, places, times and story line have been changed to fit the main character and his suit. Schlock's playful and caring nature make him the outstanding personality of this magnificent movie. Five and a half stars.

    2.0 out of 5 stars John Landis' First Movie!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023

    Well, we all have to start somewhere, don't we?

    A silly no-budget comedy, filled with sight gags and puns, with little-to-no plot and edited with a chainsaw: this is John Landis' "Schlock."

    However, even amid all the badly-filmed wackiness, there are still some good things here, such as seeing inside jokes that would become Landis trademarks ("See You Next Wednesday") and insert reaction shots; and the real star of the show, the Schlockthropus himself, played by Landis in a gorilla suit made by another young up-and-comer named Rick Baker (who later won an Oscar for Landis' "An American Werewolf in London").

    Overall, not bad for a first effort. Sophomoric and juvenile, as you might expect from a bunch of kids, but with flourishes of their later works. Worth a nostalgic look.

    A classic! Director John Landis'
    First film. And makeup is done by Rick Baker. They later did American Werewolf in London.
    The budget in Shlock was so low, that Landis played the monster himself. Interviews w/ Landis & Baker are great!
    This DVD is considered Highly Collectable!

    I remember seeing this on a double-bill with “Son of Blob” at my local drive-in. I thought “Schlock!” was funny as anything. I ordered the Blu-Ray with some trepidation, thinking it might not age well. It still plays!

    They should put a * to warn us when we're looking at the price that it may not play on U.S. DVD players.

    Meine - etwas jüngere Frau - dachte, daß es sich hier um einen neuen Film der resproktektiv gefertigt wurde handelt. Aber das Ding ist mehr als 50 Jahre alt. Und - leider - für die heutigen Jüngelchen nur wenig verständlich. Egal - wir haben das genossen. Einfach nur schön…

    4.0 out of 5 stars Le "Chaînon Marquant" de John Landis.
    Reviewed in France on December 28, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Cet exercice satirique sentant bon l'amateurisme reste amusant à regarder, si on ne s'attend à rien.
    Le réalisateur John Landis ne s'en cache pas. Son premier long métrage, est, au pire un navet, au mieux un apprentissage du cinéma, qui lui ouvrera les portes de la reconnaissance.
    L'intérêt de cette édition restent les interviews des principaux artisans de Schlock. Avec le chef opérateur et acteur Bob Collins d'abord, mais surtout l'entrevue d'une quarantaine de minutes avec John Landis. Ce dernier nous abreuve d'une multitude d'anecdotes, avec un enthousiasme communicatif. De son engagement comme cascadeur sur des westerns italiens à cette chance incroyable d'être invité sur les plateaux d'une grande émission télé, et promouvoir ainsi son premier film...dont aucun distributeur ne voulait au départ. Et sa rencontre avec le gamin Rick Baker qui débutait dans le maquillage, dont Landis dira que ce sera le seul point fort de son film.
    Dans les faits, cet entrevue en bonus du blu-ray était beaucoup plus longue, mais fut coupée à certains moments où Landis s'égarait dans une suite de digressions, et s'éloignait trop du sujet principal. Il aurait été amusant de découvrir ces coupures dans un autre supplément à part.
    Pour la participation du maquilleur Rick Baker, on le retrouvera dans les commentaires audio avec le réalisateur.

    Donc, un achat recommandable pour ma part, puisque ça me permet de connaître cet étrange film bricolé, ancêtre de la filmographie du réalisateur, qui a fait ses preuves depuis, et de façon convaincante.
    Quant au blu-ray, il n'était pas lisible sur mon vieux Sony (A), mais passait très bien (avec tous les bonus stf) sur ma platine Panasonic 3D, beaucoup plus récente. Un lecteur multizone serait préférable pour visionner ce blu-ray Carlotta.
