The Black Torment. A lord heads home to his country estate with his new wife to discover a double is loose in the countryside raping and killing and the townsfolk are blaming him. To make matters worse, his previous wife who had taken her life has been witnessed pursuing him on horseback crying out "murderer" Black Torment is a suitably creepy, if somewhat tame gothic horror with a great script and a solid plot, it could have used a little more claret but overall is well worth picking up. Odeons Blu-ray looks excellent. Curse of the crimson alter. Loosely (and I do mean loosely) based on H.P Lovecrafts dreams in the witch house, COTCA involves an Antiques dealer heading out to a country estate to find his missing brother only to find himself haunted by dreams of the witch Lavinia. Curse has a fantastic cast, four icons of Horror appear Christopher lee, Boris Karloff, Barbara steele and Michael Gough. It looks astonishing with vivid colours throughout and a suitably trippy dream sequence. However its somewhat marred by a pedestrian script that doesn't really do justice to anyone involved. Still worth watching however and Odeons blu-ray is terrific. Lady stay dead. A perverted gardener decides to rape his latest client, when she objects to this he drowns her in a fish tank. Rather than cheese it once he come back to (relative) sanity he hangs about the place and his victims sister turns up for a visit. Pretty soon the nutty gardener (who reminded me somewhat of Vic reeves bouncer character in the club) is playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with her. In spite of its sleazy premise, lady stay dead is actually something of a minor classic. It uses one location and a limited cast to great effect and really ratchets up the suspense. It's a real shame code reds blu-ray is such a pain in the arse to get as the film is terrific and a real must see. Brotherhood of death. Three Vietnam veterans return home to find their community plagued by Klansmen set on rape and murder. Our heroes try to find a peaceful solution to the problem through voting, then they seek out the sheriff. Finally when all else fails the decide to go to war! Looking at reviews on-line some were unimpressed with this film, however I actually rather enjoyed it. Watching KKK members get their comeuppance is much like the cathartic thrill of seeing Nazis get it. Its hard to feel bad. Its a terrific little actioner that's been on lots of 50 film sets by virtue of the fact its a crown international picture. However, code reds blu-ray is fantastic quality. |

| MV5BMjEyNDM1NjU2MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDM5NDkyMTE@._V1_SX214_AL_.jpg After spending some time in a mental institute Jessica her husband and a close friend head to the country to live a nice quite spot away from the noise of New York. On arriving in their new home they find a young woman called Emily living in the house that she taught was abandoned but instead of asking her to move on they ask her to stay for the night. Jessica still hears voices and sometimes she sees things she is not sure if they are real or not. Jessica tries her best to act normal so husband and friend believe she is cured but how long can see keep her pain and suffering from the people she loves. While swimming in the lake behind the house Jessica sees the body of a young woman floating in the water when she goes for help the body has disappeared is Jessica loosing her mind once again or is something more sinister going on. This is a very slow paced psychological chiller that really has a way of getting under your skin its very hard to explain why but it makes you feel a little uneasy and cautious. Maybe its the great performance of Zohra Lampert who plays Jessica. You really believe her and what she is going through. Jessica is a woman struggling to hold on to reality some times she seems to be winning more often than not she is loosing and loosing badly. Great film with plenty of chilling atmosphere and the constant voices whispering to Jessica really emphasizes the chill factor. Film 8/10

| Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) on the horror channel Was expecting to like this much more than I did. 5/10 Then checked Euraka's Blu-Ray release of Fritz Lang's Spies (1928). Didn't like it nearly as much as Metropolis but still greatly enjoyed it and it contains some standout visual sequences, especially the thrilling train sequence near the end. 8/10 keirarts and trebor8273 like this. |

| Sightseers (Ben Wheatley). I do like this film, a British road trip to hell really.... See No Evil, Hear No Evil (Arthur Hiller, 1989). Poor reteaming of Wilder & Pryor. RP swears a lot, GW does his patented softie act. Screamingly 80s as well (in a bad way). Can see why I passed at the time.... Sweet House Of Horrors (Lucio Fulci, 1989) Charming tale of murder and redemption. "Sausage is dead!!"  Not as captivating as House Of Clocks imo.
