It looks really nice. Thank you.

Reminds me a bit of Ralph McQuarrie's classic work.

If i like the film it may be one to invest in.

I'm currently reading Jonathan Sothcott's (Yes that Jonathan Sothcott - Brit trash producer auteur and bud of Sir Daniel of Dyer) - The Cult Films of Christopher Lee.

In comparison to the last film book i finished last weekend, Jonathan Rigby's Euro Gothic, Sothcott's prose feels like reading a Mister Men book.

It's certainly an easy read and rather enjoyable, in fact my only complaint is that the numerous colour plates are not captioned. That's fair enough as i am familiar with all the films discussed in the book but others without my years of reading and watching may not be so enlightened. However that's my only grumble so far, that and perhaps the design and layout which smacks of indie publishers.

There are one or two things i have learned such as Terence Fisher disliked The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll as much as i did, although Sothcott seemed to enjoy it a hell of a lot more than myself and the director.

Eagle eyed folk may notice Roger Moore was but a CBE when this book was published in 2000.

That isn't my shadow on the Horror Express still by the way. It's part of the photo.

Jonathan’s a top bloke. May have to seek that book out and give it a read sometime.

He suggests Hammer's Dracula might well be 'the greatest horror film ever made'.

I agree with him there.

I like that he puts his own thoughts into the films which some similar authors don't always do.

I'm enjoying it, not sure why it's taken me 18 years to get round to reading it.

Of course it's part of the photo. Everyone here knows you don't cast a shadow

Jonathan Sothcott has hit a new low in his book on Christopher Lee.

He says of The Devil Rides Out.
Quote:

The Devil Rides Out is today regarded by the public as one of Hammer's best films, which it most certainly is not.

There are two basic problems with this film - first and foremost, the script, second, the cast.
It's not a joke either. He then goes on to dissect the film and finally claims Wheatley's novel is one of the "Very best horror stories ever written"

Rik 13th February 2018 06:59 PM

Seriously? I couldn’t finish the novel last time I tried reading it, bored the crap out of me! And, the film is definitely one of Hammers best non Dracula/Frankenstein films, he clearly knows bugger all :lol:

profondo rosso 13th February 2018 07:03 PM

I have to seek out this book Dem. Must say I agree the novel is fantastic although disagree the film is one of the weakest, its one if their best in my eyes.
