I have the US dvd from Olive Films. I very much doubt i'll be upgrading it. It's a PG rated movie to start with. No horror, no exploitation and zero scares. |

I was holding off buying Ghost Stories... on DVD as I never quite believed BFI's excuse of adequate 16mm prints not being available. My patience has been rewarded and absolute day one purchase |

Seems a bit naughty that they're splitting it up over two (or maybe three) box sets, but who am I kidding I'll be buying it right away. Especially since this one has Lost Hearts on and that's my favourite one.

Quote: 'The Ballad of Tam Lin' (1971) - Blu-ray pre-order available from BFI direct - £14:99 Release date: October 10 "The 45th release in the BFI Flipside series of rediscovered British cinema, The Ballad of Tam Lin was the first and only film directed by the Hollywood actor Roddy McDowall (best known, perhaps, for The Planet of the Apes). Loosely based on the traditional Scottish folk ballad, this 1971 rarity stars silver screen icon Ava Gardner (The Killers) as a mysterious and wealthy older woman who uses witchcraft to exercise control over a group of younger hippies and thrill-seekers (played by a sensational cast including Ian McShane (Deadwood), Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) and Bruce Robinson (Withnail And I). Features music is by folk-rock legends Pentangle, and spectacular cinematography by Academy Award-winner Billy Williams (Women in Love, Gandhi). Part folk-horror and part Blow-Up style Swinging-60s critique, this unique cult film is being made available for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK. BFI Flipside is dedicated to rediscovering the margins of British film, reclaiming a space for forgotten movies and filmmakers who would otherwise be in danger of disappearing from our screens forever. It is a home for UK cinematic oddities, offering everything from exploitation documentaries to B-movies, countercultural curios and obscure classics, If it's weird, British and forgotten, then it's Flipside" Special features:
Other extras TBC

Gimme it! Just a pity we're not getting both volumes for Xmas. I'll need to hold on to my dvd set just a little longer......

Maybe they've had some extra outlay with new HD masters and the like? Possibly clean up too?

I'm sure there is more reason that 'we can milk another £30 out of everyone' but it's an annoyance to have only 4 episodes this time around, but I've got the DVDs like most here so it's not a huge deal to wait until next year for part 2! I'm wondering if they'll collect all of the Gatiss ones for a part 3.

Watching it again many years later, I still think it’s one of the creepiest they’ve ever done. |
