TOWER OF EVIL aka HORROR ON SNAPE ISLAND Jim O'Connolly 1972 7 Attachment(s) Another little British gem which is criminally neglected when it comes to DVD releases. And a right brutal bastard this relatively obscure shocker is! Atmosphere,violence,nudity and a glut of British character actors make this one a winner. Veterans of many a UK production such as Jack Watson,Jill Haworth and Robin Askwith grace the screen in this one,which for a low budget film,pretty much ticks all the required boxes. Anyone agree? Think this is one for a BD upgrade? |
Yep,nice one! :nod: What's the best dvd Reaps? I own the US Elite one. |
Same one I own B! Don't know what the UK disc is like. I think there also may have been an Aussie disc.:confused: Where did you first see the movie mate? |
On vhs...think it was a UK sell-through tape. |

Like this one a lot - a really underrated gem of a film that's crying out for a decent DVD release. If this were to be released on Blu I'd snap it up in an instant, although the prints I've seen haven't looked too fantastic, which could be a problem when constructing a decent HD master. The script is pretty silly, but TOE delivers some chills, plus some good gory set-pieces. It's also got a surprising amount of nudity for a Brit film of its time. Here's the trailer to inspire the uniniatiated to check out this 1972 British classic: |
I've only seen this once, years ago on TV and remember it being much better than the reviews I'd read of it. If I remember correctly the print shown on telly was really dark and quite distracting at times. |
The Elite dvd is a big improvement MTDS. Anyone own the UK disc? |
I love this film, even with Robin Askwith's American accent! If it ever gets a decent release I'll ave it! Arrow........? Tony. |
Another one I've not seen but definitely looks like my cup of tea. Gonna add it to my ever increasing list of wants. :nod: |
