Discussion

 During the late 60’s and mid early 70’s it was the norm for teenagers to sneak in and watch sexploitation in a theater room.  Hundreds of these films were released during this era. Most of them, like this one, had little to no plot. The plot was never an important factor; it was primarily the nudity that people wanted to see on the screen. Most of these movies are considered “soft-core” by today’s standards. In today’s modern era, it may seem quite silly to watch a sexploitation flick. Thanks to the advent of internet, people can easily view these types of films in the comfort of their own home.

The Brick Dollhouse is a low budget sexploitation flick that delivers very little plot to the audience, and that is fine due to the type of film it’s supposed to be.  The problem with this movie is that even with the nudity it is tremendously boring and quite repetitive.  The movie is filled with nudity and soft-core scenes, retro babes getting it on, drugs, you name it…but again, comparing this to a modern porn movie...You would feel as if this is just a rip off.  So if you are expecting "Hardcore Porn" this is not it, that's for sure.

Something Weird



The plot of the movie (which there really isn’t) is about some 6-7 girls, all hot, all party animals that are living in the same house. Two of the girls in the house find one of their girlfriends dead in bed. The girls decide to call the cops and notify of the brutal incident.  As soon as the cops arrive they begin asking questions about the murder. Asking what they saw, how they believe it happened, who could have done it, etc.  But as the cops interview each one of these quarter brain bimbos, all they get is flashbacks to days when the girls were high, and having sex parties. Literally scene by scene, all we see is some retro babes getting nude for no reason as they uncover the murder of their friend. The worst part is that they add a twist…not really.

The only redeeming value of this flick is seeing how the old free love days were. Personally, there isn’t much to surprise the audience; the whole sex and drug thing has always been a thing. Its funny how people may see these movies and think people back then didn’t do drugs or have wild sex. Like a professor of mine said “Every generation thinks they invented sex” I even think people had even more crazier parties back then. These people did crazy shit like LSD…I don’t know, just saying that hardcore drugs were available back then. I wouldn’t purchase this flick honestly. I have seen some better films from these genres, which have a little more plot. I can name few- Sometime Sweet Susan, Deadly Weapons, Kidnap Coed, and Hitchhike to Hell.  But if you really want to get this movie I will sugest you get the copy from Something Weird.I will add a video from “Something Weird” the company that has re-released these movies on DVD.
