I haven't seen either film and have no idea whether the price will be honoured but, for that price, it's worth a punt. |

I found this review of the blu: "A few words about...™ Mr. Sardonicus -- in Blu-ray William Castle's 1961 Mr. Sardonicus is typical Castle horror, and that's an okay thing. Definitely low-budget, and black & white, it gives the requisite shocks, and is well... okay. I would presume that the target audience was originally young to mid-teens. I've seen it in varying incarnations over the years, but finally for fans of the film, we have something special. Special for fans. As a Columbia picture, just typical. Which means an absolutely perfect presentation. A perfect gray scale, with admirable blacks. Tight grain structure and resolution that's sharp as a tack. So where are we. An okay production, a fun little gothic-ish horror film, but nothing extraordinary, in the form of a Blu-ray that can knock the socks off most every film of the era on the format. Again, for fans, it's under $10, which is a great price. And you get The Brotherhood of Satan with it. Free." (Robert Harris) Many people want it for The Brotherhood of Satan btw. ;) I hope it's region free,if anyone can confirm? |

A seller called passionflix UK are selling CUJO on BD (the first release, not the Olive rerelease with better artwork) for a mere £5.73 all in on amazon.co.uk. It ships from Canada so you may have to wait a while but the seller has got very good ratings. The Olive re-release (below right) is going for twice this price, though as said I do much prefer that artwork.... http://images3.static-bluray.com/mov...6865_large.jpghttp://images4.static-bluray.com/mov...8863_large.jpg |
Who doesn't already has this should definetly get the Lionsgate release, as the much more expensive Olive disc lacks the extensive making of. |
Mr. Sardonicus is an entertaining little gothic horror film. You've got to love the schlocky 'punishment poll', too ;) One of Castle's finest films. |
