Sleep 2020 Written by Thomas Friedrich and Michael Venus, directed by Micheal Venus. A German film with the title of Schlaf.

Marlene is haunted by her dreams, she's filled dozens of journals with the same drawing of a hotel. She takes a trip to the small town of Stainbach and checks into the very hotel featured in her dreams. Marlene has a psychotic break and goes into a coma. Marlene's daughter Mona travels to Stainbach and stays at the same hotel.
Unbeknownst to Mona her mother has a connection to the hotel owner. He's a bad man and a Nazi clinging to their past glory. The hotel has been the home of three suicides and Mona can see glimpses of these past events. She mostly has a bad time on her visit and nearly dies. Luckily, Mona gets some help from her dead grandmother.
It's a arty ghost story that was a bit pokey at times. There's a fair bit of people staring off into the distance and static shots of the hotel and it's surroundings. There's also a bit of action, some romance, murder and the humorous drugging of the Nazis. We were all hoping they'd burn the hotel down with the Nazis in it but I guess the budget didn't allow. I liked it for the most part but didn't think I'd bother picking up a copy for myself.

Doctor Death: Seeker Of Souls 1973 Written by Sal Ponti and directed by Eddie Saeta. This is the only film Sal Ponti wrote, he was also producer. From 1959 to 1978 he appeared in 28 TV episodes and 4 feature films. His script for DD:SOS isn't very original.
The movie screams TV movie but I can't see any mention of it being one. I'm thinking with Eddie Saeta's film making background and the low budget it's what Eddie knows. Eddie only directed one film, this one, and it was the last credit on his IMDb page. In the 60s he directed an episode of The Man From Uncle and an episode of Hondo. His career started in 1937 as an assistant director at Columbia Pictures, in the 30s and 40s it was mostly Westerns.
In the 50s Eddie was AD on a couple of films I knew, Creature With The Atomic Brain and 20 Million Miles To Earth. In the 50s he was AD on a lot of TV. In the 60s he worked on 18 episodes of The Man From UNCLE and one of The Girl From UNCLE. He also was AD on Three Stooges In Orbit and The Three Stooges Go Around The World In A Daze. He gave Moe Howard his last role, he played a member of the audience at Doctor Death's magical soul transfer event. He had a speaking part and a bit of a joke.

John Considine plays Doctor Death and Barry Coe plays Fred. After the death of his wife Fred becomes obsessed with his wife returning from the dead. Doctor Death claims to have the power to transfer souls and that's why Fred goes to see him. Doctor Death puts on a soul transfer event to lure more customers for his services. A badly damaged woman is dying and that's what she needs to do to get her soul transferred into the freshly dead body of Sivi Aberg. DD is a showman and he jazzes up the transfer with a stage magician's sawing a woman in half trick.
This time there's no trick, he really saws a woman in half, blood dripping off the table top, then we see her soul transfer into Sivi. The badly damaged lady now has a nice new body to play around in. Somehow the transfer magically makes the dead woman whole and healthy again. It's all enough to lure Fred in, he pays DD's $50,00 charge, no prob. DD has a problem, he can't transfer the wife's soul into another woman, he can kill a woman and transfer her soul into the wife's dead body. It won't be the most important part of his wife but Fred will have her body back. It's a pretty stupid idea, especially when DD pick's Fred secretary as the new victim. Now Fred's got to man up and fight the monster.
Glad I saw it, I did enjoy the laughs, but I'll not be buying this one either. You can decide if you like it by clicking the title above and taking a gander at it on YouTube.
