Advantages: A Bucket of Blood and House on Haunted Hill
Disadvantages: The Ghoul

A Bucket of Blood is one of my favourite classics. An enjoyable 'Wax Museum' genre that takes a slightly different approach. This time, the artist is actually very slow witted and has no talent, as you will see. He works at a coffee shop full of poets and art buffs and wants so desperately to join their world. So, one thing leads to another, and, if your familiar with the genre, you know how it goes. House on Haunted Hill is one of the great classics ...
...horror or is it murder-mystery. To answer that question, i would have to spoil it. So, watch and find out for yourself, you won't be dissappointed. Unfortunately, The Ghoul is probably one of Karloff's worst. Karloff is one of my favourites, but he doesn't really act in this one. The story is very slow, and doesn't build up to anything all that shocking. Just some ancient Egyptian Mummy curse, some rich guy trying to be immortal. Nothing I haven't ... Read review

Advantages: I got for 99p (wait you want advantages)
Disadvantages: I wasted over an hour of my life. Well i laughed

...guy who has taken on the body and mind of teh duke. In my mind that pretty much makes him the duke. What else is left. There's nothing horrifying about despite the name. Ha God it's crap. I bought it for 99p and it's not worth any more than that. It's just so unbelievably stupid. This mightn't be the most articulate review ever but if you see this film you'll understand. It's also full of historical inaccuracies to name a few 1) Jack plays a napoleonic ...
...and he ends up beside the sea. 2) This Napolenic soldier dspite being really bad at orientation does eem to be quite clever as he has invented the revolver and given it to the onset of the 19th century 3) The Baron/duke who is apparently austrian but could be Italian if the geography worked out abit better prefers to adorn his castle in French and English standards rather than those of his own nation. But the greatest shock is Francis Ford Coppolla ... Read review

Advantages: story
Disadvantages: no known actors/actresses

...was happening and it was all talk and no action. The trailer for this film looked really good and it was that trailer that made me want to buy this film!! I am really really glad that I did buy it! Another great film with a really good story and I simply love the twist at the end. It was not something that I was expecting. I would definately watch this film again and would recommend it to any horror film fanatics out there. This is another film that ... Read review

Advantages: the trailer
Disadvantages: the whole film!!

...:-( Should have looked on the back of the DVD as he trailer gave me no indication that it was foreign! The best part of this film was the trailer! It made the film look so much better than it was. It is a shame really because the story was good but for some reason the film was a real let down. I would not recommend this film to anybody else but then I guess it will depend on what type of film you like to watch.Personally it was not quite my cup of ... Read review
