1 Attachment(s) 30 Days Of Unseen Horror Day 20 Attachment 242769 After a traumatic experience as a child a woman has written up a list of demands that must be met when she dies to avoid her getting buried alive. She wants to be checked by five doctors the coffin is to be left open she is not to be inbalmed and a telephone must be left beside her coffin within her crypt with a direct line to the house where her blind son and his wife live just incase she wakes up. After years of nothing after her death one night the phone finally rings and all is on the other end is the wailing and moaning of an old lady almost sending the son into a breakdown. A paranormal investigator is brought in to find out if this is in fact the mother or a hoax to drive the son insane and part with his fortune. What a brilliant film with a very creepy atmosphere even when just normal conversations are happening with nothing else out of the ordinary you can feel all is not right. The camera work and the score make you look in every corner thinking you can see something moving and with such sinister music your always expecting to worst to happen and where the music fades there is a constant howling of wind no matter where the scene is. The acting is superb with everyone looking like they are on the edge about to lose there minds apart from the paranormal investigators house keeper who always gave me a laugh with so much madeness going on around she is casual and relaxed cause she doesn't believe in such things :skull:. The back story is also excellent showing that karma has a horrible way of falling back on you and you should put serious thought into your actions especially if they impact negatively on someone else. A wonderfully creepy and haunting film with brilliant and tragic ending. Recommended 100% |
Justin's Catch-up Hour! Been a busy work week so I have been too tired to engage my brain, this is what I've watched since Sunday, quite a few re-watched 'classics' and a pair of yellow budgie smugglers :lol: https://i.ibb.co/1zKLZgn/Screenshot-...-21-153823.jpg I've also been watching some horror themed TV, Mike Flannigan's The Haunting of Hill House which is bloody brilliant so far (4 eps in) and some fun episodes of Buffy. :casper: |
October 20th 1 Attachment(s) The Witches (1966) Joan Fontaine gives an excellent performance as a teacher haunted by the ghosts of witch doctors from her time in Africa, in what would prove to be her final film role. Hammer's Occult thriller is quite low key, lacking much in the way of exploitation and luridness which both adds to and takes away from the film. Having said this towards the end of the film a line is used more than once, a very witchcraft like line of dialogue or chant that i find decidedly creepy "Give me a skin for dancing in". The story unsettles the longer it progresses and is beautifully performance driven as witchcraft appears rife in a sleepy English village in what is an early example of British Folk horror. |
Is that one in the Studio Canal/Optimum DVD box set do you know? |

I have the Studio Canal dual format release. It has a lengthy doc on Hammer Glamour with Val Leon, Caroline Munro, Maddy Smith and Martine Beswick sat on a sofa together discussing their roles. |
