Salems lot ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748519.563683.jpg One of the most terrifying horror mini series. Absolutely terrified me when I first saw it as a kid and even watching as a adult as still find that one scene chilling too this day( think most know the one I mean) truly a classic that is a better horror than most big movies. Long time since I have read the book and if I remember it's quite different than the series with more emphasis on the marsden house, think I will pick up a copy of the book and see what difference there are. It's crying out for a blu Ray release with loads of extras 10/10 ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748891.460946.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748899.590915.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748909.206278.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748915.699339.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748924.754834.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748932.449783.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748940.677495.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748952.317408.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748958.130496.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748964.355350.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748972.959669.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748982.518804.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420748990.385147.jpg Last edited by trebor8273; 8th January 2015 at 07:44 PM. |

I'm on an adventure and war movie kick at the moment. Here is a forgotten little number starring Yul Brynner. Often summed up as a British Western, this does have a pretty generic storyline but the Indian colonial feel is well done and there is fair pacing along with a few good shoot-outs. A nice sunday afternoon film. Yul Brynner again plays the 'foreigner', with Andrew Keir once again playing a big bearded native (cf. Lion of the Desert). Harry Andrews and Trevor Howard are the colonial Brits up against them, although Howard is rather too old for the romantic scenes with his much younger female co-star to see anything less than a little odd. I have the nice widescreen Spanish DVD, it looks like there is a UK release from Strawberry Media (who?) but listing on Amazon says it is pan and scan so avoid this like the plague as the film makes good use of its scope ratio. A full review with pretty pictures The Long Duel.

Don't rate his Batman films or Sleepy Hollow that highly myself. I very much appreciate his admiration for Bava, though I have to admit. |

He is often a style over substance director. But i don't mind that, his films are often gorgeous to look at. Although I'm not much for the stop motion stuff, i haven't yet made it through Nightmare Before Christmas or Frankenweenie. And i wasn't keen on Corpse Bride.
