Nothing Underneath
Too Beautiful to Die

https://www.nucleusfilms.com/

Watched both of these today. Fantastic releases. Actually crazy to see what was cut from the original UK release of Too Beautiful to Die.

Wonder if we'll ever see a release of the third film from anyone.

You can only hope Stephen

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the discs :)

I contacted the rights owner of the third film, but I have not heard back.

Blood of the Vampire is now in stock and shipping, direct from the Nucleus Films HQ.

That's a shame. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Watched Too Young to Die last night.
Decent wee thriller.

The bbfc cuts feature was good-damn pathetic what they used to snip eh?:rolleyes:

Has anyone got a copy of Blood of the Vampire?

I saw an early post on CHFB that the transfer is close to the Shout release rather than the superior Artus release. That would be disappointing as the Shout is a yellow mess!

However, I'm not sure how much better Artus is than the Shout release? I can't find any screenshot comparisons online.

Is the Artus release the full uncut version though?

According to DVDCompare it is

The same master was used for all three releases.

Ah, okay. Hopefully I'll have a copy on Monday.

Hi Marc, thanks for coming back on this. I only mentioned it because the Artus seems to get praised while the Shout gets dissed and I can't find a comparison.

Good to know they are all the same. I'll be getting yours of course... ;)

I compared every Blu-ray, DVD, VHS and TV version of this whilst working on it. I also spoke to the lab who did the new master restoration. It was compiled from two sources, neither of which were in perfect condition.

Reviews of Nothing Underneath and Too Beautiful to Die

I'm very pleased with BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE which I watched last night.
Great to finally see those cut scenes that I used to see only in pictures back in the movie. :thumb:

Don't forget to watch all those extras!

Yes, great extras. I only watched 'Sangster And The Censor' so far so lots to still watch and two audio commentry tracks.
Great package. Nice one Marc.

Craze (1974)

Jack Palance plays antique dealer Neal Mottram who sacrifices women to the statue of African god Chuku in the belief that it will help his ailing finances.

Freddie Francis' horror thriller was something completely new to me the first time i saw it. I had heard the title but knew nothing about the film or if it was any good. Last night was my third viewing and i utterly love it. It drives along at a near break neck pace from the opening sacrifice during the first few minutes to the final showdown with the police.

Palance often seems an actor who balances on the crazy tightrope and he excels here as the batshit bonkers Mottram laughing and gurgling all the way to the bank. The film whilst not OTT horror is very gory in a couple of places with bloody fx work that wouldn't seem out of place in a Fulci film. As well as Palance the film has a cast to die for, in fact i've no idea how a film that's purely exploitation such as this can bring together the likes of Michael Jayston, Diana Dors, Julie Ege, Trevor Howard, Suzy Kendall, David Warbeck and Martin Potter. So no matter what your thoughts on Craze poor acting cannot be leveled at it as the cast relish the script stuffed with one liners such as Jayston's scathing put down of Dors. “One would have to be pretty desperate to sail into that port”

Craze is one of the unheralded British horrors of the seventies and deserves a lot more attention than it currently gets.

I've had the DVD for years, but I still haven't got around to watching it!

Blu? When?

No, dvd.

Time for a bd release Mr Morris!

You're missing a treat g0!

Marc Morris confirmed on Blurage that Nucleus will be releasing Dark Places with Chris Lee.

One of the few CL's I haven't seen and will save on importing the expensive boxset :woot:

Christopher Lee's 'Dark Places' will be coming to Nucleus Films :) Which I believe was the standout film from the 2nd Severin box set. Marc Morris has confirmed they're working on new extras

We must have been reading the same post and thinking the same thing at pretty much the same time :lol:

Yeah well, he confirmed it here on Cult Labs to me back in July.

Well worth a watch.Joan Collins is her usual charming bitch!:lol:
