Scum Like It Hot!
On one DVD, Something Weird Video has paired the classic films "The Defilers" and "Scum Of The Earth." "The Defilers" warns that everything they touch is stained. This flick answers the question, what do two hedonistic punks do to get the ultimate kicks? They’’re getting drugs from a shady lady who also happens to be the landlady of some crummy apartments. While they’’re hanging out there, they meet an innocent girl who has just moved into town and decides to rent a room. They figure this girl would be the perfect victim, since she has no family and they’’re the only ones who know she’’s in town. They kidnap her and keep her locked up in a squalid cellar. They don’’t want ransom money, they want to use her as their sex slave. It’’s more fun than it sounds, and one of the punks gets what he deserves in the end. "Scum Of The Earth" follows the travails of a beautiful good girl (and bad actress) who starts out as a fashion model earning extra money to get into college, but is soon talked into posing topless. If that’’s not bad enough, the sleazy cons running this racket threaten to show her dear old Dad those topless pictures unless she agrees to model nude! The scene where she appeals to the head man to get out of the deal is priceless. He chews her out with one of the greatest speeches in movie history. "Deep down inside, you’’re dirty. Do you hear me? Dirty! You’’re no better than the girl who sells herself to a man. You’’re worse, because you’’re a hypocrite...You’’re damaged merchandise, and this is a fire sale!" The camera keeps zooming in on him. In several extreme close-ups, all you can see is his mouth talking! He gets more and more animated as his speech goes on. By the time he’’s finished, he’’s worked up such a sweat that he has to mop his brow with a handkerchief! This DVD also includes theatrical trailers for similar movies, short subjects, and audio commentary by producer David Friedman. It’’s a must-have for all fans of exploitation movies.
