Price once again a class camp act

Advantages: The Price Is Right
Disadvantages: To some a bit dated

Every now and then in the early 70`s someone would employ Vincent Price and place him in picture that fitted him like a pair of comfortable slippers this along with Theatre Of Blood and to a less extent Dr Phibes Rises Again is such a film Price plays Dr Phibes a concert musician turned mad with grief due to a group of surgeons messing up at his beloved wifes surgery leaving her for dead Phibes turns to the good book for ideas and begins to despatch ...
...The support class includes Joesph Cotton, Hugh Griffith and Terry-Thomas and all enter into the spirit of the movie well One critism I would have of the DVD is that extra wise this is a non starter with only a theatrical trailer on show apart from the scene selection and language options. My advise to you if you are a fan of this movie is maybe wait and see if a special edition pops up at some point. But if you are viewing for the first time this ...

Another jewel in Hammer´s crown

Advantages: Vampires, sets, photography, costumes, music
Disadvantages: Some hokey preaching

...to be an enjoyable villainess. The photography, sets and scenery make the film look wonderful , and although Tudor Gates´otherwise excellent script introduces some stink-air don´t-trust-anyone-over-30s crap (middle-aged men burn Playboy models in the stake, not lonely old women), Twins of evil is another jewel in Hammer´s 1970s output. ...

The Original Slasher

Advantages: Good clean bloodthirsty fun
Disadvantages: Poor care for the film stock

...nearly 40 years old but Bay Of Blood has a lasting impact on cinema; this Italian horror movie by director and some would say artist Mario Bava is said to be the movie that launched the term slasher in respect of horror. It is also said to be the inspiration for the Friday The 13th movies. Bay Of Blood is still very much swinging 60's while having a very 80's feel about it, and its a movie that menace floods into every scene. As Bay Of Blood opens ...
...her money. The mystery of Bay Of Blood however revolves around who is going to get the money. Initially its recipient seems and may actually be obvious, but at the movie progresses it shows exactly how money grabbing people can be when a small fortune lies in their way. The story to Bay Of Blood is incredibly simplistic; the delivery from the original Master Of Horror Mario Bava is far from simplistic. In a sort of soap opera style Bava introduces ...

Chasing tails

Advantages: Surprisingly good thriller
Disadvantages: Not all that memorable, strange ending

...'cat' in this film - cat o' nine tails refers to the leads that our heroes have to follow). I've seen a number of Italian giallos now, and although giallo refers to crime and mystery, I have come to expect aspects of horror and much sexual behaviour. This film, therefore, came as a bit of a surprise, because it is a straight work of crime fiction with nothing out of the ordinary. Nevertheless, I was impressed by what is actually a gripping detective ...
...the actors was the appearance of Karl Malden as Franco Arno. Karl Malden is best known for his superb role in A Streetcar Named Desire alongside Marlon Brando and I didn't really expect to see him in an Italian giallo. However, he is very good. He plays a blind man very convincingly and, although he sometimes seems to jump to conclusions far too easily, he is generally very realistic. He has a small niece who seems to look after him, and certainly ...
