Audience Member Bad Dialouge And Most Of The Acting Sucked But I Liked The Storyline Its Worth A Watch If U Have Time Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad Dialouge And Most Of The Acting Sucked But I Liked The Storyline Its Worth A Watch If U Have Time Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Newlyweds Monica (Judith Speidel) and Mike (Herbert Herman) run afoul of an illegal organ ring when Mike is kidnapped by two corrupt paramedics while the two are staying at a shabby honeymoon motel. Monica seeks refuge with Bill (Wolf Roth), an itinerant but sympathetic trucker who agrees to help Monica track down the thieves and restore her husband to her. Though it's set in New Mexico (and, in the final act, in New York), "Spare Parts" presents a terrifying reality that surely confronted denizens of Europe ("Parts" was a German production) as communism reduced what could have been developed nations into Third World countries. A black-market organ trade might seem far-fetched in the U.S., but consider what happens when poverty seizes what once was an auspicious economy: Every class is affected, with even the wealthy willing to pay top-dollar for scarce goods; human body parts would be no different. Given America's struggle with stagflation when "Parts" was made, its vision of the force of struggling capitalism ensnaring even human health makes the film a forceful take on horror not seen in a realm that typically houses Michael Myers. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Fair to poor thriller, uneven with a kind of stupid plot. The acting is so-so.
