The Big Sleazy Jack Weis Double Feature: Crypt of Dark Secrets / Death Brings Roses

Dodging a Kentucky manslaughter rap, Chuck (Alfonso Landa) was happy doing muscle work for a New Orleans white slaver. Unfortunately, he's the man in charge once the boss is rubbed out--and he'll find out how heavy is the head that wears the crown. Jack Weis' sleazy actioner "Death Brings Roses" also stars Scott Brady, Broderick Crawford, Hermione Gingold, and Henny Youngman. Next, a troubled Vietnam vet is robbed and killed by thieves in the Louisiana bayou, but comes back to "life" with the help of Dambella, a voodoo priestess who performs her craft in the nude, in Weis' "Crypt of Dark Secrets." Ronald Tanet and Maureen Ridley star. 166 min. total. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; featurette; theatrical trailer.
