More Atmosphere Than Modern Horror

Advantages: Really challenging psychologically
Disadvantages: No special features

...the pleasure park…… Carnival Of Souls is 45 years old (at the time of writing) it’s shot in black and white, but unlike many other movies of the time it looks older than it actually is. The acting is edgy at best, and on initial gut instinct you cannot help but ask why the hell your watching this awful film. Watching Carnival Of Souls I can only imagine to be like I night on acid; it messes with your perception and your senses. While Mary is going ...
...psychological journey with Mary. What Carnival Of Souls lacks in special effects, and general viewing delight it doubles up in psychological terror. I can quite honestly say this is the only older horror movie that affects me in any way. Its effect time, after time, after time does not diminish; it just grows in intensity. The most alarming part of the movie is the ending! It has a very modern final end that comes at you like a bolt from the blue. ...

It's You That's Been Stealing Those Limbs!

Advantages: Quite creepy in a sleazy way, and tries its best to be bang up-to-date.
Disadvantages: It's a film about an angry head on a table, and that's it.

...managed to produce one of the more compelling, spine-chilling and scientifically cautionary masterworks of the decade. No, only joking. This is obviously just another fairly tedious and unspectacular R-rated sci-fi horror putting a contemporary spin on the Frankingstein plot, this time benefitting from the breakthroughs in plastic surgery, organ transplants and test tube babies that were hot topics in 1959. It's just a shame the film was delayed ...
...one real niche. The Frankingstein in this case is ambitious, smooth-talking young scientist Dr. Bill Cortner, played rather woodenly by Jason Evers, whose highly experimental and unorthodox treatments are gaining him some notoriety at the hospital where he works with his traditionalist father and devoted fiancée Jan (Virginia Leith). Bill finally decides to show Jan his nefarious experiments at his laboratory up at the isolated country house, but ...
