Graveyard Shift box is nice and glossy with a piece of Scotch tape holding the top endflap together. Cassette is nice and clean and duplicated in the superior SP mode. Beware of other labels that are not. Pre-viewed for quality and picture seemed a little grainy at first. Tweaked tracking and my audio mode for sound. Has some bad lines at 54 1/2 minutes and the picture goes blue screen for a few seconds. Just before the end credits there is a couple of light lines. Very watchable despite the hiccups. Understudy: graveyard shift II box has a little shelf wear around the edges and a liner lift scrunge near the top edge by his head and a crack in the paper near the top left corner on the edge. Back side bottom right corner has a couple of light creases, this box is also nice and glossy with good color too. Cassette is nice and clean with a store branded security label on the right endcap assuring you of first generation quality. Played great on my Panasonic vcr. Both are Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and are no longer being manufactured. GRAVEYARD SHIFT aka Central Park Drifter: The lead actor looks a bit like Chris Sarandon in this stylish, clever vampire movie. Silvio Oliviero is an immortal bloodsucker who relaxes nude in a coffin as if it were a bath and has a fanged harem of former victims spread out across the city. He makes a living as a taxi driver, cruising the night for victims, and only gets into trouble when he decides that he wants to forsake the vampire girls for his true love, a suicidal film director (Helen Papas) who specializes in mock-gothic rock videos. The film does well by its fetishist images (a trickle of blood running down a fishnet stocking and stiletto heel) and its self-aware development of the classical trappings of a vampire movie in a modern context. Oliviero's not-quite-sympathetic vampire is an interesting figure who makes victims only of the terminally ill, the suicidal or vicious muggers, and seems convincingly detached from the neon-lit nightmare city that director Gerard Ciccoritti naturally films in the style of Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver.' The movie was a big enough hit to inspire a sequel, the UNDERSTUDY: Graveyard Shift 2 which continues the thread of sado-eroticism. Shadowy Baiser (Oliviero again) invades the production of 'Blood Lover', a film about a vampire pool hustler, taking over the lead actor role and possessing the actress (Wendy Gazelle) he must play opposite. The result is one of the better horror films about making a horror film. Despite some confusion, it's hard to tell if scenes are from the movie-within-this-movie being shot, dreams, or "reality", Understudy works in both its plots. Indeed, 'Blood Lover' is quite as strange an undertaking as the framing story. Both strands climax with Oliviero impaled on a pool cue by the screenwriter and the regulation kicker in which Gazelle is reborn as the bloodsucking hustler she has been playing.
