Hell Night (1981)
I can understand if some think Hell Night a bit slow moving. For a slasher film there's very little gore but as a Gothic horror i think it works rather well despite it being a college hazing movie masquerading as a Gothic horror.
There's some delightful creeping round old dark houses scenes especially for lovely Linda Blair in her Victoriana low cut dress.
Whilst there's nothing particularly memorable about the film it's one i've always enjoyed and it's become a cozy 100 minutes of comfort viewing.
Whilst the 101 Films Blu-ray isn't the greatest 4K scan around it is substantially better than the old dvd. Although i didn't watch them there are over three and a half hours of interviews and documentaries on the disc.
Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979)
Lovely to finally see Lucio Fulci's classic zombie film in HD. For me it remains the benchmark in horror movie splatter thanks to Gino De Rossi's superb special effects work and Fabio Frizzo's memorably creepy score.
