<div align="center"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><strong>The Ultimate Warrior</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><strong>(1975)</strong></span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Set in a future decimated by a plague, the Spartan populace of New York City is dispersed into pockets of survivalist groups. The civilised, the lawless and the scavengers each battle to survive in a world where food and water supplies are sparse. The cultivation of new crops is nigh on futile due to ecological devastation. There is hope, however, in the guise of Cal, a horticulturalist who has rediscovered successful seed growth in soil. He resides with the Baron (Max Von Sydow) in a fortified sanctuary within the city. Under the leadership of the Baron the people of this community have security and hope, but across the street resides Carrot (William Smith), a physically dominant figure of leadership to his anarchic followers. Carrot wants what the Baron has, and will do anything to acquire it !.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Fate plays its hand when a lone stranger appears one day. A warrior for hire, prominently standing for all to see in the centre of the dilapidated city. The Baron steps out from his protective haven with a small band of protective men, his intention to offer the stranger food and shelter in exchange for his services. Initially giving no response or indication of acceptance to the proposition made, the Baron makes his way back to his stronghold, but he and his men are set upon by the street scavengers. To their aid comes the stranger, bare chest displaying his strong physique, and a knife wielded in his hand clearly showing his intent. This man for hire is clearly all that the Baron believed him to be, a warrior !. </span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Yul Brynner is The Ultimate Warrior, and in great shape for such a physical role here at the age of fifty five, clearly setting a great example to the future senior Action stars of today who too have maintained their health and fitness regimes, enabling them to still be doing the physically demanding roles with believability, such as Sylvester Stallone. Brynner’s character introduces himself to the Baron as Carson. The Baron sees in him a man of honour and the perfect person he has been waiting for to entrust with a mission to benefit the future of mankind.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhV6d1unkSPToAEe_DQogTb1Vh_LbBe-s2y1yhJ8PqDAwLMufZdHh1h5DxJ7tX2-Qggr6aQgagiDjnX9yYJ6lyKM9thJAuMY56v146RhrrrKxlOWcsOA694Iwa0khi9SThxxO-wSxiNKM/s1600/ultimate+warrior+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhV6d1unkSPToAEe_DQogTb1Vh_LbBe-s2y1yhJ8PqDAwLMufZdHh1h5DxJ7tX2-Qggr6aQgagiDjnX9yYJ6lyKM9thJAuMY56v146RhrrrKxlOWcsOA694Iwa0khi9SThxxO-wSxiNKM/s400/ultimate+warrior+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">With Carrot and his mob gaining greater strength, and becoming more of a threat to him and his peoples good intentions, the Baron entrusts Carson with the sustainable plant seeds and the protection of his child bearing daughter. Carson tells the Baron that there is an island off the coast where decent people have settled, and are together striving to rebuild a new world together. He gives his word that he will get the seeds to them to continue Cal’s work, along with the Baron’s daughter and child to be.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first part of the movie sets the scene of the plague decimated world environment, and dresses the screen stage of opposing factions fighting to survive in the dilapidated landscape of New York City. The second act plays out like condensed chapters of good and evil torn from the very bible itself !. A bleak yet intelligent story interwoven with a parable of hope, with the seed of life growing in the womb of a mother, and life giving seeds carried by a strong and good man to a new beginning !. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL7nsegHg52eqckW5KTQU6GKb6z3loUU33YqhbfXxrISRgkw14L-fKCN-ANfTWgu645UshbLQp4dvhHkVuc9U95AqvawmMPmVsLoqHz4H5UUhyphenhyphen-ZNIMRWuUJWoehtmcW0LLWXhscREAE/s1600/ultimate+warrior+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL7nsegHg52eqckW5KTQU6GKb6z3loUU33YqhbfXxrISRgkw14L-fKCN-ANfTWgu645UshbLQp4dvhHkVuc9U95AqvawmMPmVsLoqHz4H5UUhyphenhyphen-ZNIMRWuUJWoehtmcW0LLWXhscREAE/s400/ultimate+warrior+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">Yul Brynner puts in a solid performance, and Max Von Sydow delivers a consummate characterisation, in a decently developed production, well delivered under the experienced direction of Robert Clouse (Enter The Dragon 1973). William Smith plays the archetypal villain of the piece once again with screen stealing menace, soon leading him to one of the most memorable villainous roles ever as Falconetti in the epic television Best Sellers series Rich Man, Poor Man (1976).</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_nEYx_JZMIuwtOetFaB66cOxbIgRAMaHgH1AxWy1nyqzp8QH2mey2o10CP6KWoF6Rc4zll0IiscdMj3TskoUgQiDixCspcVL6mlyHA-Bv7NOcs2wzUUZbUvWGlmLD4y-vT6VD9pw4ANk/s1600/ultimate+warrior+9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_nEYx_JZMIuwtOetFaB66cOxbIgRAMaHgH1AxWy1nyqzp8QH2mey2o10CP6KWoF6Rc4zll0IiscdMj3TskoUgQiDixCspcVL6mlyHA-Bv7NOcs2wzUUZbUvWGlmLD4y-vT6VD9pw4ANk/s400/ultimate+warrior+9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">Carson takes the seeds, and the Baron’s pregnant daughter surreptitiously away from the flailing colony, exiting underneath the compound, down into the long since dormant underground tube way system. Their departure does not however go unnoticed, and word soon reaches Carrot, who deploys his best trackers to stop their escape.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The underground setting is very well structured and dressed, convincingly portraying the look of a future ravaged period set almost forty years on from the films production back in 1975. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With a heavily pregnant young woman under his guardianship, and a band of thugs hunting him down, Carson has his hands full. Things get even tougher as the mother to be goes into early labour, and having to stop, in order to facilitate the birth, Carson must truly prove himself to be The Ultimate Warrior as Carrot himself catches up to them !.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9BNsJo94zMbR2nHa62g6CopHarokDLj4BnIOzxbLM2ep8qm0Y4ZW8RR0srnDEfmnZj1jPPfvr_nA54SrKfSC2-h2eWcJGJHSDxmhRdDJPlRsb8nE1Eb62747qd4ESwsmAo9NKn-RujM/s1600/ultimate+warrior+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9BNsJo94zMbR2nHa62g6CopHarokDLj4BnIOzxbLM2ep8qm0Y4ZW8RR0srnDEfmnZj1jPPfvr_nA54SrKfSC2-h2eWcJGJHSDxmhRdDJPlRsb8nE1Eb62747qd4ESwsmAo9NKn-RujM/s400/ultimate+warrior+6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">Terrific stuff, and a movie that still holds up extremely well today. The role of Carson was as perfectly sculpted for the role of Yul Brynner as you could ever imagine, and it stands tall as an enduring representation to the quality of its genre and time. The visual introduction of Yul Brynner standing resplendent and proud, at the beginning of the movie, is a memorable tribulation to the screen presence of this movie great, and the gruelling conclusion to his fight with William Smith, as Carrot, is what good old fashioned, gutsy Action film making, is all about.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">A stock and schlock British chiller, thriller from the sixties. Schlock horror from maverick Canadian Director Lindsay Shonteff, with stock wildlife footage integrated into an African backdrop setting. A slow paced excursion that delves into the world beyond the tangible, and into that of tribal voodooists. Only the bold and the brave dare dismiss … The Curse Of The Voodoo !.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Mike Stacey (Bryant Haliday) is a big game hunter out in Africa with a party of people, headed up by experienced resident hunter and tracker friend Major Lomas (Dennis Price), who has to hunt down and finish the kill of a lion, shot by an inexperienced guy out for the thrill of the kill. Stacey treks off into the bush land with one of his native trackers, crossing over into the lands of the Simbaza tribe. The Simbaza being practitioners of voodoo, and worshipers of the mighty lion, a beast that is sacred to their beliefs.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">The wounded lion is shot and killed by Mike Stacey deep into Simbaza territory, but not before Stacey is injured himself during the hunt, and the Simbaza very quickly become aware of the act. Stacey and his hunting party are paid a visit by the natives that very evening at their camp. Squaring up to Stacey the Simbaza witch doctor visually sizes him up. The imposing warriors then turn away from the camp and disappear back into the jungle whence they came. Back at the Simbaza camp the witch doctor begins to formulate a curse to place upon Stacey. A curse of voodoo !. </span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Concerned for his friends wellbeing Major Lomas warns Mike Stacey of the Simbaza tribes reverence of the mighty lion and of their practices in voodoo. Typically staunch, stiff upper lipped Brit Stacey dismisses such talk as nonsense. Stacey returns home to England to rest and recover from his shoulder wound which has become infected. Upon his return Stacey learns that his wife has moved out of their home, and taken their son with her. Mike Stacey pays a visit to his mother in law to seek his wife and son out, and discovers that they are indeed staying with her. Stacey’s wife has had enough with him disappearing off for long periods on safari’s and big game hunts around the world, leaving her and their son alone.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Stacey starts to experience unease and hallucinations. Visions of Simbaza warriors chasing him, and the audible presence of a lion baying for flesh. With the infection in his wound sapping his strength, and bringing a fever to his brow, Stacey’s wife comes to his aid and calls upon a home visit doctor for assistance. The doctor does all that he can, but becomes perplexed at why the wound fails to heal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">During this time, of Mike Stacey slipping into a state of failing health, back in Africa Stacey’s tracker, who was with him for the killing of the lion, is bound and tortured by the Simbaza tribesman who placed the curse upon the white hunter. The petrified native tracker being used as a living mirror representation of Stacey, for the practices of a human voodoo doll !.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">This is a slow building British chiller with a tinge of horror running through its celluloid veins. It’s black and white film stock perfectly weathering the look and feel of the movie into this modern day. It’s tale is a simple one yet harkens back to the earlier still style of a Val Lewton production. Inference is the key to the movies air of unease, rather than cheaply delivered shocks. A low budget rarely shown picture that would have been the perfect second tier movie on a double bill feature. </span><br />

His wife visits an expert in African beliefs and practices in voodoo, to be informed that the only way for her husband to end the Curse Of The Voodoo is for her husband to kill the Simbaza who has placed the curse upon him.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Summoning up the last remnants of energy within his ailing body Mike Stacey returns to Africa in order to seek out the Simbaza, and one way or another bring an end to the suffering. The movie ends in a dark and violent tone.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Blaxploitation meets Grind House in this bizarre ‘B’ movie exploitation flick. Ray Milland stars as Maxwell Kirshner, an eminent surgeon working in the field of body part transplantation. He has found a way to attach a second living head to an ape, whilst the original one still functions, only then to remove that and leave the newly grafted head in its place. Successful in the operation he seeks to do the same with a human subject, that subject being … himself !. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTaW2PUZu-EPSm723xOA1Sb2T408WlFl0Bwvt74c6VH5YQTrM8KlX3nzLXSx4T171xBb5-c_Kz7w86CgRl21f9wiB4D63hvqQpJKTa5jkuDvVU1lUDSOUhmRe6DsyPYrgJaj0ebqT6GTY/s1600/thing+with+two+heads.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTaW2PUZu-EPSm723xOA1Sb2T408WlFl0Bwvt74c6VH5YQTrM8KlX3nzLXSx4T171xBb5-c_Kz7w86CgRl21f9wiB4D63hvqQpJKTa5jkuDvVU1lUDSOUhmRe6DsyPYrgJaj0ebqT6GTY/s400/thing+with+two+heads.jpg" width="262" /></a></div><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Kirshner has been working flat out on his pioneering transplant technique due to having incurable cancer, and his efforts are self motivated, as he wants to live on with another body harbouring his head. When he divulges to his long time professional colleague, personal physician and friend, that he only has a few weeks to live they have to act immediately to acquire a suitable host.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The theme of the movie is not just one of fantastical science fiction but also that of race, and the colour of a mans skin. Maxwell Kirshner isn’t just a brilliant surgeon, he is also a blatant racist !. When a black doctor, Fred Williams, played by the instantly recognisable Don Marshall (TV’s Land Of The Giants), a welcome regular of popular television shows during the Sixties and Seventies, joins Kirshner’s staff it is made clear that his contract was compiled without the usual cross referencing, and Dr. Williams ‘kind’ is not welcomed !. Dr. Williams properly stands up to Kirshner, holding him to his contract and fulfilling his position in order to further his want to improve himself under such a revered physician in the field of transplantation.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTOYGJy77XvzMd5-U-2xpmweGsGMWh8GpueTrp97oTGzsgJsPycbKxccjzq2VOjrcUge08KTgQhFIz4Ldb2vZ8yLBQAlicPqBRqow1-fwOUR9FTcB_pV55PTD40secNIoq98s7HMo69Pk/s1600/thing+with+two+heads+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTOYGJy77XvzMd5-U-2xpmweGsGMWh8GpueTrp97oTGzsgJsPycbKxccjzq2VOjrcUge08KTgQhFIz4Ldb2vZ8yLBQAlicPqBRqow1-fwOUR9FTcB_pV55PTD40secNIoq98s7HMo69Pk/s400/thing+with+two+heads+2.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A truly wry quirk of fate plays its hand when Kirshner’s time to undertake the transplantation comes around. With his body giving itself up to the cancer his friend and aid has no alternative but to turn to an inmate on death row. Someone prepared to turn their body over to science in order to avoid the death sentence. That someone is Roosevelt Grier (Rosey Grier aka Jack Moss), a man sentenced to death for murder. A crime that he still pleads he is innocent of, and any further time extension affords his friends and family time to prove his position. The ironic twist is of course that Roosevelt Grier is a black man !.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivDCfowes7i9UzTjDr_10wn_XoS5PbE9mDYAjzJcI835dCB149M_RcpvncL4_7xyu2-7Vgm3MsWO7Tz2hFZdlV0OYHbdEhd8m2vrjIHa2WUpItywfnepL1MJlzuXfzyCIDLR6hej4gVqQ/s1600/thing+with+two+heads+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivDCfowes7i9UzTjDr_10wn_XoS5PbE9mDYAjzJcI835dCB149M_RcpvncL4_7xyu2-7Vgm3MsWO7Tz2hFZdlV0OYHbdEhd8m2vrjIHa2WUpItywfnepL1MJlzuXfzyCIDLR6hej4gVqQ/s400/thing+with+two+heads+4.jpg" width="259" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The reactions of both actors upon the realisation, after the operation, that they have been surgically conjoined at the neck, as a two headed being, is priceless !. Great credit must be given to the creators of Ray Milland’s false head and features as the attention to detail, when not reliant upon the real star in close up shots, is exceptional. It truly is a believable prosthetic and is freakily functional. During the operation, when Milland’s fake head is manoeuvred across to be attached to its sedated host body, seeing the eyes open and move is, for a film at this time, perhaps as audience reactive as that of witnessing the classic scuttling head sequence in John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Two heads are better for fun should have been the slogan blurb for the movie, as splicing Ray Milland’s characters head upon the black neck and shoulders of Rosey Grier’s character Jack Moss works with entertainingly unexpected results. Props to both actors for keeping straight faces and dealing with the obvious cultural clash and race issues from a truly bizarre view point.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmhCvdWUcUx37HIeglPbr3eV17mnOqLQ3YrJwRjNYR22RGpWBlOLnwIPRQ7SPOCFDS11fAevkRuDBl1o4VgMZUPYanxCyA8NIMxdt05hsvmGXyiJRUXgTwH0718E7BrWj63yGhNpFKK_o/s1600/thing+with+two+heads+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmhCvdWUcUx37HIeglPbr3eV17mnOqLQ3YrJwRjNYR22RGpWBlOLnwIPRQ7SPOCFDS11fAevkRuDBl1o4VgMZUPYanxCyA8NIMxdt05hsvmGXyiJRUXgTwH0718E7BrWj63yGhNpFKK_o/s400/thing+with+two+heads+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jack Moss manages to overcome the effects of his induced drugged state and escapes from the shackles of Dr. Kirshner’s home medical facility. He goes on the run, taking Dr. Fred Williams as hostage, in order to reunite with his girlfriend and to pursue proving his innocence. A task more difficult than ever when you are sporting an extra head !.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-0QGzI2G8GLv4V7eQiCIXuYMN6dofbJuOq1gnsprWFNnsyAen7GQXODkncT_UNtZ0KsKcl81NwFbae3VOdskIicXoelaHX292-nIIXcNJ0mIMe2IubMECTxdi9fC004WBo6f4ww7vS2k/s1600/thing+with+two+heads+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-0QGzI2G8GLv4V7eQiCIXuYMN6dofbJuOq1gnsprWFNnsyAen7GQXODkncT_UNtZ0KsKcl81NwFbae3VOdskIicXoelaHX292-nIIXcNJ0mIMe2IubMECTxdi9fC004WBo6f4ww7vS2k/s400/thing+with+two+heads+8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Unbelievably the movie never actually plunges to the depths of complete farce, despite how preposterous the premise, retaining a typically seventies grind house stature that keeps things gritty and salacious in a good way. All three main actors draw the best out of their characters to keep a doubtlessly original audience open mouthed and aghast at what they were witnessing.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">One of the stand out moments, of this strictly ‘B’ movie, comes just after the midway point when Moss and Kirshner, along with Dr. Williams, jump aboard an off road motorcycle, to be pursued across the off road mud track by the police in their standard cop cars. This quite long scene delivers car carnage akin to The Blues Brothers (1980), which of course actually came after The Thing With Two Heads. Car upon car crash and smash all over the place, left in the wake of their intended pursuit.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2FCpZL-UBpw9_UfZaR67GuMhRbV3VDQu_rrwv3JF2rg2mKCewFsCWVQwEl1TjIFSX5SxpBhvR0umadJ_HCsoBsWydwFCNlo9yJElbnj6WZV2kYdDhwcFNqWNYhyUTobhns2m6k1AV_xk/s1600/thing+with+two+heads+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2FCpZL-UBpw9_UfZaR67GuMhRbV3VDQu_rrwv3JF2rg2mKCewFsCWVQwEl1TjIFSX5SxpBhvR0umadJ_HCsoBsWydwFCNlo9yJElbnj6WZV2kYdDhwcFNqWNYhyUTobhns2m6k1AV_xk/s400/thing+with+two+heads+6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The longer that Dr. Kirshner is attached to Jack Moss the stronger his bond with the body becomes, and as Moss concentrates on eluding recapture and clearing his name, Kirshner focus’s his will upon taking control of the host bodies functionality. A battle to take control plays out, and Dr. Williams has to decide which of the two men his ethical loyalties should side with.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">A wild oddity for sure, but one that deals with the issues of bigotry, and science playing God, with a transient proprietary that for its time was as bold as its precociousness. Dealing with issues that are not so far removed from the realms of reality of a spoon fed society today !. Seek it out, but be sure to leave your dismissive mind behind, and engage your thinking head to fully appreciate the underlying cautionary poignancy within the films generic veneer. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When U.S. scientists play God, in creating their own synthetic being in female form, which also just so happens to be a global threat deterrent, all hell lets loose when her circuitry gets frazzled. Modelled upon her creator Dr. Eve Simmons (Renée Soutendijk), this robotic chick is just one automated click away from going nuclear. Once her internal twenty four hour clock kicks in, and when the countdown concludes, anything, and anyone, within a ten to twelve block radius gets obliterated !.</span></div><div align="left"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbbadfwNXXuEJusmdwEEMvpJQBx7X_sOE3i4HMohUdk3ii4j3toKExaSXNlR6d54KX3fCPqkFsUF6qewt22xWuQGRf7V92fHEsii4I8PYNseQt5MWanjStrAdtv2ArGQxUbzHDTM_cVY/s1600/eve+of+destruction.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbbadfwNXXuEJusmdwEEMvpJQBx7X_sOE3i4HMohUdk3ii4j3toKExaSXNlR6d54KX3fCPqkFsUF6qewt22xWuQGRf7V92fHEsii4I8PYNseQt5MWanjStrAdtv2ArGQxUbzHDTM_cVY/s400/eve+of+destruction.jpg" width="268" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: large;">Robotic humanoid Eve VIII is being monitored out on a field test in the real world environment. She is in a bank when a robbery takes place, and the instigators of the act start shooting. Eve is shot and the result triggers a defence mechanism within her that sends her off out into the wide world environment. Her purpose is to act upon memories inherited from her blueprint creator Dr. Eve Simmons. It later transpires that Dr. Simmons experienced a traumatic youth that involved an alcoholic father, one who would beat his wife, and Eve’s mother. Tragedy would also befall as Eve’s mother gets killed in a car collision, brought about by being pushed into the oncoming vehicle in a drunken rage by the husband.</span></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: large;">The military call upon their top problem solver Colonel Jim McQuade (Gregory Hines) to reel Eve back in. Brought up to speed with the humanoids capabilities, and week points, by Dr. Simmons, Colonel McQuade is not told the complete picture, and is unaware of Eve’s true purpose of being. When the military receive notification of Eve’s destruction mode becoming live they have to tell McQuade the whole truth, and implore him to render Eve defunct within twenty four hours. The robots area of vulnerability lays in her eye sockets. McQuade must use his precision targeting hand weapon to deploy the bullet direct to the eye of Eve in order to close her down, or her destructive device will explode as per her initiated directive.</span></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: large;">A race against time unfolds as Colonel McQuade and the military track the Eve VIII model down. Intermittent action plays out as Eve adapts to her new found surroundings and situations, but another trigger, recessed in her human counterparts shared memory, brings out a violent side in her nature. Whenever anyone calls her a bitch to her face it unleashes her wrath, and this bionic babe is one striking lady you do not want to offend !.</span></div><div align="left"><br />

</div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: large;">Another very nice quality high definition enhanced showing for the MGM HD Channel. It is good to see that MGM is proudly showing off their back catalogue of movies, be they blockbusters or reasonable enough mid range fare. This film as a whole has a well intentioned made for television movie feel to it. Its identity is somewhat clouded also. There is the evident comparison to The Terminator (1984) and Terminator II (1991) films, but Eve Of Destruction seems to try and avoid sending its humanoid creation directly down the robot out of control route, and rather go for a more creative and emotive one. Ironically it is a more obscure Indonesian film called Lady Terminator (1989), which does not hide its rather obvious intent to ‘borrow’ heavily from The Terminator theme, with a rampaging female robot out of control on the city streets, that gives the rather promiscuous appearance and makeup of Eve VIII her look. Red leather jacket and tight fit, knee length skirt, totting a machine gun, is exactly the image torn from Lady Terminator (1989), made just two years earlier.</span></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: large;">Neither main stars help raise proceedings, as Gregory Hines is just not believable in the Schwarzenegger, Willis or similar hard action guy role. The film would have been far better suited to someone like Dolph Lundgren. Renée Soutendijk does not convince either, coming across too cold and unapproachable in her role as Dr. Simmons, which curiously enough still does not greatly bear fruit when aptly applied to her robotic counterpart Eve VIII.</span></div><div align="left"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The film elevates itself in the action and excitement department enough to conclude things satisfactorily. Eve VIII clicks into the memory mode of Dr. Simmons as a mother, and in so doing goes in search of her young son. The race to stop her in time comes to New York City, and Colonel McQuade gets his chance to come eye to eye with the object of his pursuit in the New York subway. This is where it definitely turns Terminator, and both Sci-Fi and action fans get a pay off pick me up to end upon. </span></div><div align="center"><br />

Several years have gone by, and the war is at an end, but Tyler’s notes have been retrieved from the ocean, and they tell tale of an incredible lost world. One where caveman fights to survive in a prehistoric land, dominated by dinosaurs !. </span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">It’s all silly family fun that plays out entertainingly enough right through to the volcanic explosive finale. Doug McClure makes his guest star appearance midway through proceedings as the captive Bowen Tyler, and Patrick Wayne gets to play the hero well enough. Both men were popular matinee fantasy film stars during this period. Patrick Wayne played Sinbad in Sinbad And The Eye Of The Tiger (1977), and also starred in the action fantasy Beyond Atlantis (1973). Doug McClure starred in a whole host of fantasy adventure flicks during the seventies such as, The Land That Time Forgot (1975), At The Earth’s Core (1976) and Warlords Of Atlantis (1978), before moving into more mature variations on the theme with the equally enjoyable likes of, Humanoids From The Deep (1980) and The House Where Evil Dwells (1982).</span><br />

Some of the creatures up close show up their artisan engineered shortcomings, and a couple of digitised scenery effects are woeful, <span lang="EN">but the miniature work is well realised, and</span> over all it is in keeping with the entertainment value of what is effectively a reasonably budgeted ‘B’ movie. More dinosaurs would have been welcomed, but overall its good old fashioned general audience entertainment value for money. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet another cleaned up print of a twenty five plus year old movie, given the high definition treatment, and shown on the MGM HD Channel. Enjoyable hi-jinks monster action fare to colourfully dazzle your HD home cinema system as never before.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">American International Pictures smartly bring together some of the greatest talent in horror cinema ever, for a comical spin on the genre. Director Jacques Tourneur (Cat People 1942 & Night Of The Demon 1957. But two of his masterworks) gets to forge together the classical talents of Vincent Price, Basil Rathbone, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff. A positive cornucopia of horror cinemas greats. Bring them together, and invite them to over indulge in their sense of dark humour, and you get the infectious comical horror curio, The Comedy Of Terrors.</span><br />

He is married to the business owner, and elder statesman’s daughter, Amaryllis (Joyce Jameson). Boris Karloff is Amos Hinchley, the proprietor, a retired old man reliant on the care of his daughter and the business acumen of Waldo Trumbull. Business is far from thriving, however, and in order to generate income Trumbull, and his introverted underling assistant Felix Gillie (Peter Lorre) turn to less than honest means to make money.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The scurrilous undertaker Trumbull constantly recycles his one and only resplendent coffin, turning the bodies of the deceased out into an open grave once those grieving have left the ceremony. Swiftly covering up the body with soil no one is the wiser when they skulk away with the coffin to use again for the next faux service !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Felix Gillie is kept under Trumbull’s thumb as he is an escaped convict, hiding away under his new identity under the employ of Trumbull. His abilities at breaking and entering locked premises are put to frequent use by the devious undertaker, as another of his irreverent scams is to break into properties and suffocate the elderly and frail in their sleep. The following day he returns to the scene and offers his services to bury the deceased, taken as naturally slipping away in their sleep during the night.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Things become darker and quirkier as Trumbull has to deal with his landlord John F. Black, a terrific turn by Basil Rathbone. Black seeks immediate payment of one years back rent, imposing threat of legal action to turf Trumbull out of the premises. Trumbull has to act quickly and decides to add Black to his list of night time visitations. The evening turns into a farce as the bumbling presence of Gillie alerts Black to the duos intrusion. The outcome, however, ironically delivers the same desired result for the desperate Trumbull, as Black appears to have a heart attack, brought on by the shock appearance of Gillie in his house. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As vibrant in its comic shenanigans as it is in its colourful hues The Comedy Of Terrors is an entertaining testament to the genius’s of the genre. From a time where a low budget still delivered a high quality production, and secured the very best talent to apply their trade in the cause of satisfaction over self gratification.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The final third of the movie is priceless entertainment from its stars. Boris Karloff as the doddery old undertaker, perked up by the elixir of afforded alcohol, is delirious to behold giving a church soliloquy, constantly forgetting the name of the deceased and adlibbing psalms. Basil Rathbone gives a strong performance as a typically pompous aristocrat, duly calling for a pantomime villain like rapport with the audience. Peter Lorre, certainly past his prime performances from earlier in his career, still draws sympathy toward his character as a down beaten underling, stoic in his role and an important and engaging necessity in bringing out the best in those around him. Vincent Price, of course, revels in the lead with a nonchalance that is artful in delivering a likeable villain to put a smile upon viewers faces, aware that he himself behind his on screen countenance is wryly smiling right back.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">For Trumball and Gillie to keep Black in a coffin after pronouncement of death is the comical crux of the matter, as this Shakespearian quoting dandy suffers from the rare condition of catalepsy. When all natural signs of life equate to the person being dead, but in fact they are in a deep state of suspended animation. Just goes to show that you can’t keep a good man down, even when he has the obnoxious pomposity of Basil Rathbone’s character.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">A fun caper wonderfully played out, and doubtlessly enjoyed by all the participants both in front of and behind the camera. The Comedy Of Terrors will tickle rather than terrorise, but is no less entertaining and once again looks incredible in High Definition, showing on the MGM HD Channel.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The title of the movie is equal parts misleading, and completely apt.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Return Of Dr. X has absolutely nothing to do with the 1932 made horror classic Dr. X, starring Lionel Atwill as the titular doctor, but the significance of this movies premise most definitely lies in its titling. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">An eminent doctor of haematology, Dr. Francis Flegg, has developed a synthetic blood that can bring back recently inanimate life forms, and his greatest achievement is that of bringing back to life a man !. That man is a brilliant doctor in his own right, Dr. Xavier. The ethical issue at hand is that of Dr. Xavier being released into the custody of Dr. Flegg after his death … at the hands of his executioner, following his sentence to death after committing the murder of a child !.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When a newspaper reporter calls upon a famous actress, to get a coup for his paper, he discovers her dead body in her hotel apartment. Stabbed just beneath her heart, and her body drained of its blood. When reporter Walter ‘Wichita’ Garrett (Wayne Morris) prints his story for the morning press he is soon ridiculed by his colleagues when the actress turns up at the press chiefs office to hit them with a libel action. There is something not quite right about this picture though as the starlets flesh tone is a deathly pale pallor !.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQw9tYHJY8ln1Op0yRLd3tGYnBjMOv9DHiXMSBFsniWJpkYNg1F4O6Xdq3FF8ajPj7Oz7L1Z5f_GEdc3a7q-6oULCwRj_pYOKrpxUrSeSMKix1faFCYAeVYrBsklZQiEjDslfgy1ZryM/s1600/return+of+dr.+x+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="289" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQw9tYHJY8ln1Op0yRLd3tGYnBjMOv9DHiXMSBFsniWJpkYNg1F4O6Xdq3FF8ajPj7Oz7L1Z5f_GEdc3a7q-6oULCwRj_pYOKrpxUrSeSMKix1faFCYAeVYrBsklZQiEjDslfgy1ZryM/s400/return+of+dr.+x+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Walter Garrett turns to his friend Dr. Mike Rhodes, who is himself called upon by the police to attend the crime scene of a murder which fits the same pattern that Garrett is describing. The victim is a male, called upon by the hospital as a blood donor, due to his rare type one group. Dr. Rhodes soon learns that the actress too has a type one blood group. When she later turns up dead, again !, for real, suspicions turn to Dr. Rhodes contemporary senior, Dr. Francis Flegg. Greater suspicion falls upon his mysterious assistant Marshall Quesne, another with a deathly pale pallor, not to mention a striking white streak of hair upon his head, and a freakish predilection for stroking bunny rabbits !. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdL2MMUa5GUeQx4ov5tAY2xI_03Ll4PESyrb-PqJOYLlGVenGvZAXI8QNwuZoaGyFm81q6pd9fH3QP6xPuCBzdHDAuK7e3MBu7Ef_x7fso1MWx9esrKvAhhxtHwSXV-kerhnpRs2JKWH4/s1600/return+of+dr.+x+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdL2MMUa5GUeQx4ov5tAY2xI_03Ll4PESyrb-PqJOYLlGVenGvZAXI8QNwuZoaGyFm81q6pd9fH3QP6xPuCBzdHDAuK7e3MBu7Ef_x7fso1MWx9esrKvAhhxtHwSXV-kerhnpRs2JKWH4/s400/return+of+dr.+x+5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Both Dr. Rhodes and Walter Garrett further investigate matters, and between them uncover a ghastly connection between the executed Dr. Xavier and Marshall Quesne. Humphrey Bogart’s portrayal of a ghoulish genius, caught up in the well intentioned yet flawed scientific machinations of fellow genius Dr. Flegg, is as unrecognisable in its interpretation to any other role he would ever play. A true curio from the annals of cinematic history. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9scDK80z4jXNXO7PTLhXB2D_4ZPWHZ7TRNL4wUFzdmCmsfDSE2kcKDGZsurQfOMo13zvpnx7YRhuU-iRw7TMuhSdKFmEi02OAYnvM6a_SobhckltT4ilZvF-vdAYujIQJh99m8Mij7hQ/s1600/return+of+dr.+x+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9scDK80z4jXNXO7PTLhXB2D_4ZPWHZ7TRNL4wUFzdmCmsfDSE2kcKDGZsurQfOMo13zvpnx7YRhuU-iRw7TMuhSdKFmEi02OAYnvM6a_SobhckltT4ilZvF-vdAYujIQJh99m8Mij7hQ/s400/return+of+dr.+x+6.jpg" width="311" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps Bogart’s better known association with his interpretations of gangsters may be attributable to his characters conclusive stand at the films finale, as he is cornered by the police like a villain on the run with nothing left to do but shoot it out. More poignantly here may be to describe as a bunny rabbit caught in the headlights of an oncoming car !. Whichever way you wish to evaluate this truly is a curious role decision. It is almost as if Bogart’s agent, or even the film studio he was signed to, had an agreement that they were obligated to fulfil. Whatever the reason Bogart himself shows no sign of resentment or awkwardness in his performance, as he hams it up for all its worth.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Director Roger Corman once again brings together some of the icons of classic horror for this Edgar Allan Poe compendium of stories, Tales Of Terror. Vincent Price is the ubiquitous link throughout the three segments of the film, starring alongside fellow genre luminaries Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Corman’s infamous prolific output turnaround on these American International releases completely belies the high quota of production values. The sets are well constructed, and the use of costume and colour is luscious. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYDPf0H0JzcxogTcPugTSEoqkNdrMC0KBq7zCXqlQefA41C54kK81nbDrqpuMw3j7msh1AvqUe1EIlgs8bg34rPozeU2J6o-Cbg0h7FCcRDXPzHWRSrBUMl7yMwPoPd1JyW6LRI0QhzQ/s1600/tales+of+terror+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYDPf0H0JzcxogTcPugTSEoqkNdrMC0KBq7zCXqlQefA41C54kK81nbDrqpuMw3j7msh1AvqUe1EIlgs8bg34rPozeU2J6o-Cbg0h7FCcRDXPzHWRSrBUMl7yMwPoPd1JyW6LRI0QhzQ/s400/tales+of+terror+3.jpg" width="279" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">The charming and pretty young Maggie Pierce co-stars alongside Vincent Price in the opening segment. Morella is the tale of a daughter estranged from her father, who blames her for the untimely death of his wife. Living alone in his remote castle like estate house, atop a cliff, overlooking the ocean, Vincent Price’s character of Locke now lives his life through drink, drowning his sorrows as each day wastes away. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Locke’s daughter Lenora returns to the household in order to make peace with her father. Once home she discovers her fathers state of health and mind is not all that it should be. Holding on to the memory of his dear wife is far more tangible than Lenora realised, for cocooned in a myriad of webs and dust up in one of the bedrooms lays the decayed body of Morella, her mother and wife of Locke !.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A beyond the grave tale of retribution, playing out with delicious aplomb under the direction of Roger Corman and the mercurial talents of Vincent Price.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The middle segment of the terror trio, The Black Cat, has Peter Lorre as the central character of Montresor, a somewhat washed up man well past his mid life and looking at his future through the bottom of a constantly emptying glass of booze. Every coin he can get his hands upon is spent at the local brewery. His younger pretty wife distraught at his changed persona.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Meandering in the streets in a half drunken state as usual on one particular day he chances upon a wine tasting gathering. He is beside himself at the opportunity to down free alcohol and does just that when he challenges wine connoisseur Fortunato Luchresi (Vincent Price) to a tasting session, bragging that he knows more about wine than this dandy gent. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiByuloJMJ9CMqBlKAKfEoJvMCp9Or7GkCPum88fZBiLRQHROzWFueXENcqUZq6AG2Mr2tboggQDwEoxya2PJGuiLT8mSq1grObVvf_yd2vgaxEkQ76gejGPTZIujvMt8UBFHv6CoKG1OM/s1600/tales+of+terror+2.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiByuloJMJ9CMqBlKAKfEoJvMCp9Or7GkCPum88fZBiLRQHROzWFueXENcqUZq6AG2Mr2tboggQDwEoxya2PJGuiLT8mSq1grObVvf_yd2vgaxEkQ76gejGPTZIujvMt8UBFHv6CoKG1OM/s400/tales+of+terror+2.bmp" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The chance meeting of the two leads to Fortunato Luchresi meeting Montresor’s wife and it is not long at all before the two have an affair behind his back. Montresor discovers their indiscretion and plots their downfall in a devilish demise. He chains them both up in his cellar and then proceeds to incarcerate them behind a brick wall that he himself puts up.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Montresor discovers his wife’s hidden coinage and sets out that evening to spend his findings on drink, sharing in his good fortune with those in the tavern with him. The drink flows freely, but in his drunken stupor so does Montresors tongue. The following morning the police show up at his home asking after the whereabouts of his wife !. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What unravels is the clever twist of fate that delivers Montresor his own twist of sobriety, courtesy of the titular Black Cat !.</span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">The final episode is The Case Of M. Valdemar. The startling tale of M. Vladimir (Vincent Price), a decent man who is dying. His devoted wife at his side, and a loyal friend and doctor at his bedside to aid in Valdemar’s last remaining days. At the forefront, however, is the cold character of Carmichael, a practitioner in hypnotism and a man who has managed to gain Valdemar’s trust. He has persuaded Valdemar to assist him in his research into what transpires beyond the veil of death. Valdemar has agreed to allow Carmichael to hypnotise him at his moment of death, to then use his spirit caught in a state of limbo to question about what does indeed lay beyond this mortal life.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fvgMlDmNERpay_EDQcUPIjlymmY4yXVJ_Jvh25n2OTWZ6uizjZJbVU8_R_EGb3R19-9QqZGzQ6D3wPxz0mcBnvsFG3W5LXRuPxRu_J2cSI4MwkFrI_aELyUqR5ifgIWax5uk11cYv-Q/s1600/tales+of+terror+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fvgMlDmNERpay_EDQcUPIjlymmY4yXVJ_Jvh25n2OTWZ6uizjZJbVU8_R_EGb3R19-9QqZGzQ6D3wPxz0mcBnvsFG3W5LXRuPxRu_J2cSI4MwkFrI_aELyUqR5ifgIWax5uk11cYv-Q/s400/tales+of+terror+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">Carmichael is an unpleasant personification of selfish advancement to the detriment and anguish of others. The role is masterfully realised by the splendid Basil Rathbone, synonymous with the role of Sherlock Holmes, here against type but acting with a recognised infusion of arrogance that he portrayed on screen so very well. As well as using the affable Valdemar to further his own end he also lusts after the poor mans beautiful wife, played by the very attractive Debra Paget. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At the point of death the hypnotic deed is done but of course Carmichael leaves poor Valdemar in a state of limbo for far longer than ever agreed to. Valdemar’s wife and the good doctor must act in order to make things right, and allow Valdemar to pass on over into the afterlife. Carmichael refuses to release Valdemar from the hypnotic state, and in turn forces himself upon his wife, insistent that she become his wife or Valdemar will never be set free !.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbsMgGtgzIDduXSiJyw2Pzsm4WiJMOD5tHWQO9NHTQV4X-C6tgnZMyuxoFfImFmqd8dCH2jKlHp4EAAqeIQXWwghEZyeniyP9ThNU3M8AP9fk9VqzOX2nkZC_2dXQgvPQvNiO-9YHdRY/s1600/tales+of+terror+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbsMgGtgzIDduXSiJyw2Pzsm4WiJMOD5tHWQO9NHTQV4X-C6tgnZMyuxoFfImFmqd8dCH2jKlHp4EAAqeIQXWwghEZyeniyP9ThNU3M8AP9fk9VqzOX2nkZC_2dXQgvPQvNiO-9YHdRY/s400/tales+of+terror+7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The overwhelming love and devotion to his wife triggers a deep set reaction within Valdemar, and in keeping with the films theme of revenge Carmichael gets to experience first hand what lays beyond death !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A splendid horror anthology, colourful and classy, with a splendid cast of horror greats, all under the direction of a man in the prime of his profession. Tales Of Terror never looked so good as it does here, in yet another wonderfully presented High Definition print showing on the MGM HD Channel.</span> <br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">One of the true horror / thriller greats from the golden age of cinema. Doctor X exudes thrills and chills from each frame, deliriously intoxicating its audience like a fine wine. Each drop as sweet as the next. Lionel Atwill stars as the titular character, along with an equally magnificent cast of intriguing players. An amalgam of thrills, chills and deliciously deft humour abound in one of the cleverest movies of its time, and indeed of all time !.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There is a serial killer on the loose, murdering innocent people during the cycle of the full moon. Dubbed as the Moon Killer this reported monster appears hideously disfigured, and kills his victims with the precision of a surgeon. This miscreant of the night also has a taste for human flesh, and leaves each victim defiled with an act of cannibalism !.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After six fatal and heinous killings the police are convinced that they are the act of a surgical specialist. Doctor Xavier is the prominent head of the city medical institute, where he and acclaimed specialists are dedicated to their research. Any one of them could be the killer. Doctor Xavier pleads with the police to give him forty eight hours to undertake his own intricate methods to uncover the truth.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Xavier and his colleagues come together at Doctor Xavier’s coastal mansion, atop a cliff face, looking out over the sea. Here Xavier conducts his scientific investigation to out the killer, but things of course do not go exactly to plan. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There are plenty of red herrings, excellent sets, superb use of light and shadows, and a terrific cast of creepy characters. Every one of them has something about them that links them as a possible suspect, along with a ghoulish butler could Otto who could give Doctor Frankenstein’s hunchback assistant Igor a run for his money.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Light hearted tomfoolery is provided by a luckless and bumbling newspaper reporter named Lee Taylor (Lee Tracy), who manages to gatecrash proceedings at the mansion and get himself embroiled in the frightfully unusual events that play out. Fay Wray provides an attractive and bright addition to proceedings, playing Doctor Xavier’s daughter Joanne.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This really is an ingenious gem of a movie. Its use of early two tone Technicolor really adds to the piece, creating a film with depth to it that is almost 3D in quality. The hues of an old faded photograph resonate throughout the films macabre fibre. Comparing the film alongside its black and white trailer there is no comparison between which is the better version, and that is the Technicolor one without question here. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Preston Foster particularly stands out with his performance as Dr. Wells. His research is into that of cannibalism. Having lost his left hand he has dedicated his life to his field of expertise, its affect upon him evident in his appearance as a somewhat dishevelled individual, focused on his work. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Each of the professional men working under the same roof as Dr. Xavier at the Academy Of Surgical Research is as driven and committed to their medical studies, but what is the one defining factor that sets the killer apart, and for what purpose are they driven to kill !?.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Director Michael Curtiz has a superb cast of actors, along with a wonderfully intricate story to engage the best from them, enabling him to deliver to an engrossed audience such a delirious roller coaster ride of emotions, the most satisfying of all being surprise !.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">A group of friends out at sea run into trouble when their yacht hit’s a coral reef, tearing into the hull of the boat. The shipwrecked companions are washed ashore upon the beach of an uncharted island. Within the inland jungle something far more inhospitable than the wake of the ocean awaits them. A wave of tribal terror follows !.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftDykuv9daXQUrqRu4SiIEMvVg9LO_NJ6qtSIo-CzpOqxvQ_-xGXbfzpHS3lMXb952thFh6Fl1LfXyLbTpKHUgS6op7oEym-R1mHy4oLKU02h__Xa883f4vBXcRLqokwOYf3cHSqq8ts/s1600/the+lost+tribe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftDykuv9daXQUrqRu4SiIEMvVg9LO_NJ6qtSIo-CzpOqxvQ_-xGXbfzpHS3lMXb952thFh6Fl1LfXyLbTpKHUgS6op7oEym-R1mHy4oLKU02h__Xa883f4vBXcRLqokwOYf3cHSqq8ts/s400/the+lost+tribe.jpg" width="283" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The mysterious island and its even more mysterious inhabitants seem not to be a mystery to the U.S government forces. A scientific research team had set up base camp there, but having all fallen prey to the native primate creatures a clean up military team, headed up by Lance Henriksen’s character, is sent in to cover the incident up and to leave no witnesses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is actually a pretty well done, low budget, tried and tested horror formula, that runs at a good pace throughout. The threat of the movie indeed comes in the form of the island primates. Their basic instincts of survival within a tribal regime, with an alpha male leader, is realistic. When the creatures attack their victims it is primarily unexpected and well done, swooping down from above, out of the trees, and carrying off their targets to immediately feast upon them.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTAn-wTC_eJ4K3W71p_FkFDA_xcCRaJ7yyN-IbArDqOLCx-S51dwSG1tsJ-POn9KMu1o2svbs0A2iRFcmdBGAYcKK3dNPkqnqa01GHEjnV9qYiCXwfcrHeLFT5xEcAJaDMXmfBfjlD6_w/s1600/the+lost+tribe+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTAn-wTC_eJ4K3W71p_FkFDA_xcCRaJ7yyN-IbArDqOLCx-S51dwSG1tsJ-POn9KMu1o2svbs0A2iRFcmdBGAYcKK3dNPkqnqa01GHEjnV9qYiCXwfcrHeLFT5xEcAJaDMXmfBfjlD6_w/s400/the+lost+tribe+1.jpg" width="269" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lance Henriksen’s character is pretty much a cameo, but his presence always adds credence to proceedings in these low budget outings. He believes that the stranded companions are a part of the island scientific team, and so continues to follow his brief in killing all human life, as pre-ordered. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX1wRMq2YjUmHbxZ6DWIEj6e19qlsbZPclEnFL-wHeF7d-uTdHXA1YjDSBHxt4VrfU9pxSXDXPoqB_EHSvzOBchLv3XP3YGRDz4wwsQrGvQfWdVW6i4GkhKa6pOk9-JTnB3730JXAWmIE/s1600/the+lost+tribe+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX1wRMq2YjUmHbxZ6DWIEj6e19qlsbZPclEnFL-wHeF7d-uTdHXA1YjDSBHxt4VrfU9pxSXDXPoqB_EHSvzOBchLv3XP3YGRDz4wwsQrGvQfWdVW6i4GkhKa6pOk9-JTnB3730JXAWmIE/s400/the+lost+tribe+5.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the cast are there for creature fodder, and fulfil their intended roles dutifully enough. Throat severing and creature chow downs come in equal measure, with a modicum of blood to raise the rating to an ‘R’.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPLZpVNXwvx5tvgiRr1uz56D19R30x1a4D8huI1eGu0SAIvtaTSswjxSBLuQpcyutOthCrfUjyzESA26wKyiKhvgWUeu-9OB0pxddpynbvuvXYMajC1BlbhvQyhNqnyYdlGubP4DJ64bw/s1600/the+lost+tribe+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPLZpVNXwvx5tvgiRr1uz56D19R30x1a4D8huI1eGu0SAIvtaTSswjxSBLuQpcyutOthCrfUjyzESA26wKyiKhvgWUeu-9OB0pxddpynbvuvXYMajC1BlbhvQyhNqnyYdlGubP4DJ64bw/s400/the+lost+tribe+6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What keeps the movie going is the lead character, a strong female with a presence about her that plays a little off the Ripley character type from Alien (1979). Apply a Predator (1987) scenario to the primate creatures upon the island and you have a familiar mix. The introduction of our heroin discovering a gooey grape like plant extract that upon bodily application gives a masking effect, that the short sighted creatures senses are thrown by, and it all adds up to a faux coming together of the two big budget Hollywood action movies.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOzbjT8qKvnHhhtmi5C2SNPYhBAYWDNXsbNCwKCJ5Lu3818gfdAwU3PcdFiLlyJfPTApB1mmP9HzI7yMyL9H5LAZqznMMBB-g9d9bR8PTwdKviRqdkVb3xbG5ZjEFkz53xZJiAEh0X_tk/s1600/the+lost+tribe+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOzbjT8qKvnHhhtmi5C2SNPYhBAYWDNXsbNCwKCJ5Lu3818gfdAwU3PcdFiLlyJfPTApB1mmP9HzI7yMyL9H5LAZqznMMBB-g9d9bR8PTwdKviRqdkVb3xbG5ZjEFkz53xZJiAEh0X_tk/s400/the+lost+tribe+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fun enough though for a throw away view. Undemanding entertainment with enough action and creature attacks, along with the welcome Lance Henriksen cameo, to keep it interesting till the inevitable showdown ending.</span><br />

<div align="center"><strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Dracula Versus Frankenstein</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">(1970)</span></strong></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Earth’s iconic monsters of horror, brought together by an alien threat, to wreak terror upon the world. Resurrected from their tombs to terrorise, and manipulated at will by beings from a dying planet, hell bent on subjugating this planet in order to claim it as their own.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The story is from Spanish horror star Paul Naschy, who also appears in the film as Waldemar Daninsky, the wolf man, and apparently also made up as the Frankenstein monster. As Waldemar Daninsky Naschy more than holds his own in the better attention grabbing moments of the film, which with its erratic premise and choppy editing are few !. As Frankenstein’s monster we have a curious creation that looks like a badly made up stand in for Peter Sellers !.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Credence is given to the movie with the star role of Michael Rennie, no stranger to playing visiting alien beings to Earth. This, sadly, would turn out to be his last screen performance before his death in 1971. Here, along with beautiful Euro starlet Karin Dor, he takes the host form of a scientist. His character is Dr. Odo Warnoff, and Karin Dor plays the role of Maleva Kerstein, a fellow scientist.

<span style="font-size: large;">The wolf man is brought back from a lifeless stasis when Dr. Warnoff undertakes open heart surgery upon him to remove a silver bullet. Once revived he is then controlled to do the aliens bidding. His brawn and strength proving useful in unearthing the mummy and Frankenstein’s monster. The vampire prince of darkness is kept as safe distance, his blood harnessed to be used as a virus upon the people of Earth.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The dastardly deeds of Dr. Warnoff are not altogether complied with by his assistant Maleva Kerstein, combined with the stubbornness of an unshackled wolf man, things don’t ten quite see their way through to ultimate fruition. With the moon full Waldemar Daninsky makes his bid for freedom, squaring off against the creatures, affording Dr. Warnoff’s dissenters the opportunity to turn against him.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It’s all rather hammy and showing today it really does look like a movie dusted down out of a moth ball ridden cinema closet. It really is like watching a discarded test reel for one of the classic forties made Universal Horror productions, only this was made in ninety seventy !. A miss mash of good intent that really is relevant only for the cameo of Paul Naschy’s Waldimar Daninsky character, and the final farewell by Michael Rennie. Karin Dor is underused, and a sad shadow of her former horror highs in the previous decade.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A hard film to come by today, and perhaps for good reason. This, however, like so many other movies of its type and time are neglectfully left to deteriorate in cine cans stored away and forgotten about. Given love, care and attention with the proper restorative process and even this Dracula Versus Frankenstein could still attain its place amongst the horror kitsch classics.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

</div><span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">Director Dario Argento strives once again to serve up an imaginative movie to place him back on the map of recognition. His legion of loyal fans yearning for a return to former glories. Sadly, as has been the case for far too long now, the master of suspense and stylistic slasher thrillers fails to re-ignite the genre, or his flailing career. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Adrien Brody stars as </span><span lang="EN-GB"> <span style="font-size: large;">Inspector Enzo Avolfi, an American cop with an Italian heritage, investigating the most heinous of murder crimes in Italy. He is a loner and resides in the basement of the cities main police precinct, churning through his case load. His latest case is that of the on going murders of beautiful women, all visitors to Milan, so far more difficult to attain information on with no local ties or obvious connections. </span></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;"></span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The killer picks up his victims in a taxi cab, sedates them, and takes them back to his disused habitat away from residential population. There he carves and cuts them with all manner of dulled, cold blades, and hand tools. Some brief shots of his victims being cut, and particular use of a hammer, deliver unpleasant viewing. Taking sado sexual pleasure with his brutality the killer photographs his work, storing the pictures upon a laptop to view back at his leisure. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Beautiful fashion model Celine (Elsa Pataky) becomes his latest victim. Finishing late at a fashion show, and seeking to get home, and in out of the rain, as quickly as possible to meet up with her visiting sister Linda, she is unfortunate enough to get into the cab of the killer. When she fails to return home to greet her sister, Linda (Emmanuelle Seigner) goes to the police to report her as missing. They point her in the direction of Enzo Avolfi and suddenly she steps into his world of miscreants and murderers. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5WQXQuzrLitMrKTzIM1pzgn6QCd7tcm6Yuc5GSymQ2HxrhfdTWWM7KM0Q5ZTzJciTHlRVeAwrA4UchkZElDlO2UGZSDGOp27h90-KEP9as8D5eh_5zWxOQacBErejelckIY1XuCTCsSQ/s1600/giallo+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5WQXQuzrLitMrKTzIM1pzgn6QCd7tcm6Yuc5GSymQ2HxrhfdTWWM7KM0Q5ZTzJciTHlRVeAwrA4UchkZElDlO2UGZSDGOp27h90-KEP9as8D5eh_5zWxOQacBErejelckIY1XuCTCsSQ/s400/giallo+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Enzo Avolfi’s insular character instinctively tries to push Linda to the sidelines, but her strong willed character rises above his gruff rebuttal, and together they piece together information that places Avolfi closer to catching this killer than he has ever been in months. With another body turning up, wrapped in plastic sheeting, and dumped in a public place, time is of the essence in finding the killer before Celine becomes his next victim !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Brody looks awkward and almost disinterested in his role, but still manages to be one of the films saving graces despite this. Clearly he had issues with the production and has since taken legal action to stop the film getting an official release. Another set back for the once superlative Dario Argento, and a crying shame it is indeed, as anyone familiar with his earlier great work longs for at least one last hurrah from the movie maestro.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The movie as a whole never really builds up any great tension, nor escalates to an exciting climax. It just goes about its story telling in a fairly pedestrian manner. Most unforgiving of all is perhaps the fairly evident tag on at the end of the movie that pretty much says lets give the audience an explanation, rather than leaving the film on closure that to most will be evident at the relevant time. Make up your own minds, but the open ended cessation seems evident as to what Argento would have wanted, and although perhaps flat, leaves matters open for conjecture and discussion, good or bad. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No wonder Adrien Brody went on to play a bad ass alien butt kicker after this in Predators (2010). All of his pent up frustrations following his experience on Giallo would be beaten and battered to a bloody ‘deep red’. Far better representation of the old Argento, than this yellowed out pallor masquerading as a Giallo. </span><br />

<div align="center"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Outcasts</strong></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">(2011 / BBC TV Series)</span></strong></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Intelligent and engrossing eight episode Sci-Fi series from BBC UK. A quality high definition channel show set in the not so distant future of 2040. Set upon a human life supporting alien world, where a new colony of Earth’s evacuees seek to begin a new life, as Planet Earth becomes inhabitable !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first colony of people escaping from Earth build a settlement, and in time create a city from their one journey space crafts, and every useful part upon them. Resourcefulness of the planets own ecology is also prevelant for this new world named Carpathia. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidrdEZm5ZsRl4Yf4aD04F9d3LsP18LVlpckbqzDx5StkCnCIuzwKYSzo9Ej-1s5bYsCyED1_Yw6GTgXb6m6Yq7IhGZbuMFtEsAXb48TO9rmnHCZrBf7S6KSlenzXiTmcJcph4LKEEoxZw/s1600/outcasts+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidrdEZm5ZsRl4Yf4aD04F9d3LsP18LVlpckbqzDx5StkCnCIuzwKYSzo9Ej-1s5bYsCyED1_Yw6GTgXb6m6Yq7IhGZbuMFtEsAXb48TO9rmnHCZrBf7S6KSlenzXiTmcJcph4LKEEoxZw/s400/outcasts+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Order and structure is put into place and a fair minded leader is put in place as president of Carpathia, Richard Tate (Liam Cunningham). His right hand confidant, friend, and chief medical head is Stella Isen (Hermione Norris), together they bring the colony together in this brave new world. Amongst the other strong leads are chief security enforcers Fleur Morgan (Amy Manson), smart, sexy and sassy, and the likeably hot headed Cass Cromwell (Daniel Mays). </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyYR6cI280F3vAft16VAHmTp_DWtK1QOctPkOU9UNwub7w6k5WFjeGZvGpk-iPXdPinZLFL4cPpvvruLl4bsO_WFHUjAWb6z5kO_yx7Z4wbpolKM7p2aw7hpP-O6Lfya6N4QBYhz4ez0/s1600/outcasts+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyYR6cI280F3vAft16VAHmTp_DWtK1QOctPkOU9UNwub7w6k5WFjeGZvGpk-iPXdPinZLFL4cPpvvruLl4bsO_WFHUjAWb6z5kO_yx7Z4wbpolKM7p2aw7hpP-O6Lfya6N4QBYhz4ez0/s400/outcasts+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dealing with the alien environment and all its new challenges is just half the battle on Carpathia, as dealing with each other proves to be just as demanding. Things are done in the name of science, and believed in the benefit of the ultimate survival of those settling on Carpathia. Decisions made by President Tate way heavy on his mind, particularly when with hindsight those decisions may well prove to have been hasty !. Giving the order to extinguish the lives of a manufactured group of human clones, used in testing resilience to the climate, haunts him and indeed comes back to physically haunt him !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many unanswered questions and occurrences, abundant throughout this environment in which these alien settlers have claimed as their new home. As the episodes play out something insidious stirs out of sight in the background, something permeating the very fabric and fibre of Carpathia and those that inhabit it. An eerie underplay that is as interesting as the well structured characters, and more than tantalising in its threatening tone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fuelled by an insurrection of the cloned human life forms, hiding away in the mostly uncharted zone outside of Carpathia city, and forboding visitations by seemingly all too real apparitions !?, the residents of Carpathia constantly strive to make their lives sustainable.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The arrival of a new ship from Earth with more people seeking a new life, brings another unstable character into the fold, in the shape of Julius Berger (Eric Mabius). His position attained upon the Earth escaping craft is questionable, but his position quickly attained upon Carpathia is even more so as each episode unravels. Mabius makes the role of Julius Berger, a strong willed preacher, his own in an often chilling display of controlled psychotic manipulation.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWecLRDFVWI73roMsEGP37oSLxwczPx0ZVe6DSwMF4-dDb5gRUzz0O1FGcJsCb83u02rtqKhyMxix9P8_1NYuWQ0ynIzVLdtBuEjcTHMmgOIuD-CfOiLvrVn29iCq_dT1uacv8xLrwT78/s1600/outcasts+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWecLRDFVWI73roMsEGP37oSLxwczPx0ZVe6DSwMF4-dDb5gRUzz0O1FGcJsCb83u02rtqKhyMxix9P8_1NYuWQ0ynIzVLdtBuEjcTHMmgOIuD-CfOiLvrVn29iCq_dT1uacv8xLrwT78/s400/outcasts+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As Carpathia, and its disowned human cloned creations outside, battle for supremacy to survive the greatest threat of all is still awaiting to befall. Julius Berger is in secret contact with an approaching armada from space, their purpose seems evident, but who are they !?.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">An engaging drama, decently acted out and non reliant on any evident and unwelcome CGI effects. A simple tale of human nature, and survival at all costs in an alien environment. Most definitely worth investing viewing time in, and the conclusion is close to unravelling its intensions to those that have stuck with it since inception.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Lon Chaney Jr’s character, trapped in purgatory until he can find a crime committed that is far more heinous than his own, hosts another episode in the short lived series 13 Demon Street. Opening once again with the highly effective, and applicably spooky black and white sweeping camera intro shot, we are introduced to … The Black Hand.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A car races along a winding road upon the winter snow draped coastal region of Bavaria. Another car speeds along towards it in the oncoming direction. The two car crash head on. From the wreckage of the first seen car steps a dazed woman, she turns back to the car to assist the male driver. His arm is trapped, wedged tightly between the steering wheel and the dashboard of the car interior. With a fire breaking out the man has to act quickly in order to escape.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The man is a surgeon, and the woman with him is his nurse, and love interest. She retrieves a medical kit from the boot of the car, and from its contents the man selects a scalpel. He has no other choice but to surgically sever his own hand in order to free himself from the shackles of the compacted vehicle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Together the two companions check the other smashed car. Its passenger dead at the wheel. The surgeon acts quickly with his own self preservation and continued professional success in mind. He separates the deceased man from his own hand, in order to use it to replace his own which is crushed beyond any further practical usage. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the course of the next few days things get back to normal for the two medical people. The surgical performance upon the lost hand, in replacing with the one taken from the dead man at the scene of the accident, is a highly successful one. No one suspects that the hand is anything other than a reattachment due to the story imparted by the surgeon that his hand was cleanly severed off in the crash. The body of the other man so badly crushed and burnt it could never be identified as anything untoward. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">During the course of standard procedure post accident interviewing by the authorities, the police inform the surgeon that the man involved in the crash was in fact a most wanted psychopathic killer, who had murdered five people. A woman hater who took great pleasure in carving up female victims. His loss to society welcomed rather than mourned. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When the surgeon returns to his professional position and resumes surgical procedures he begins to notice that his replaced hand seems to be taking on a life all of its own !. For the first time in his established career the man loses a patient in surgery. Four further loses of life in the operating room directly follow. All of those being operated upon are women !.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSoRKlWe3_hroB0MomnR3hYdYz3hoGtCv096vsOkF2RSHI1okEL8rdlXh8nScD0xXlJvbr3ixQPOlN8oHVlwSreRw3rQNEsEoN9MxJsSsX3mMaSoW3HEeD8_LYiAv_K3PcKa7HhSMdS0/s1600/Black+Hand+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSoRKlWe3_hroB0MomnR3hYdYz3hoGtCv096vsOkF2RSHI1okEL8rdlXh8nScD0xXlJvbr3ixQPOlN8oHVlwSreRw3rQNEsEoN9MxJsSsX3mMaSoW3HEeD8_LYiAv_K3PcKa7HhSMdS0/s400/Black+Hand+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fighting with his own sanity, and trying to control a foreign attachment to his own physiology, the surgeon seeks solace in drink, but a trip out alone to a dingy bar spirals out of his control. He is approached by a lady seeking his company, but his reaction to her advances are for his hand to reach out uncontrollably, assaulting her. He flees in panic, back to his own residence.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The same evening, whilst contemplating his state of mind, he turns to the nurse who best understands what he has gone through, but in seeking solace and understanding the hand strikes out once more. It attempts to strangle her, but the surgeon struggles it free. He fumbles about with his free hand, grasping hold of a knife from the kitchen, intending to use it to sever the attached hand once more.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The final outcome is an ironic twist, as the ill fated surgeon has a hand in his own end !.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Doctor Erasmus Craven (Vincent Price) receives a visitation from a talking raven, to soon discover that it is the magically entrapped embodiment of fellow magician Dr. Adolphus Bedlo (Peter Lorre). He relays a tale of dastardly displacement at the hands of Dr. Scarabus (Boris Karloff), the self proclaimed master magician.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Erasmus Craven lives a somewhat reclusive lifestyle away from the strife of the sorcerers ordainment. His father before passing away was the master magician, and in the natural order his son Erasmus was to have succeeded him. Instead the gentle man chose a life outside of the magical order, spending time to pursue his own trivial pursuits, and live with his daughter away from the rivalries of his fellow peers. He also still grieves the loss of his wife, and yearns for her companionship. All, however, is not quite what it seems, and the appearance of the raven sets the cat amongst the birds !.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Bedlo is transformed back into human form with the assistance of Dr. Craven. He explains to him the reasoning behind his plight at the hands of Dr. Scarabus. He also tells Craven that he has seen his wife Lenore at the castle of Dr. Scarabus. Craven is troubled that his fathers great opponent Scarabus has captured and enslaved the soul and being of his deceased wife. He chooses to act upon the information, and along with his daughter Estelle, Dr. Bedlow, and Bedlo’s son Rexford ( A very young Jack Nicholson, in an early role), travels at night by horse and carriage to Dr. Scarabus’ coastal castle. </span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">The movie entertains from light hearted start to playful finale, all with a suitably tongue in cheek aplomb, and never forgetting its horror hybrid identity. All the major stars are revelling in their roles, playfully parodying more villainous parts in their salubrious cinematic careers. Hazel Court, as Erasmus Craven’s manipulative wife Lenore, positively blooms in her salubrious deception.</span><br />

A beautiful original ratio full wide screen presentation. The sets are colourfully gothic under Roger Corman’s direction, and eye for frugal flair. Only the exterior shots of castle Scarabus look out of place as the cheap matte effect highlights all of its shortcomings in this near pristine print. An easily forgivable nit pick for such an enjoyable movie, given the love and attention it deserves.</span><br />

Vincent Price revels in the role, his confident demeanour radiating forth from his intuitive countenance. Sat facing each other in the castles great hall the two do battle. Gesticulating japes and magical prowess play out, with the best man prevailing, so quotes The Raven, never more !.</span><br />

The townspeople hide away and the only law in town is the unscrupulous, money loving gambler known as Pat Poker (Daniel Prévost). <span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">He holds all the aces, that is until Daisy Town’s favourite son returns to shuffle up the pack. Hold onto your hats, Lucky Luke is back in town !.</span></span></span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Industry and commerce are flourishing in the Wild West, and the best way to bring in more trade is to open up the United States Of America to customers far and wide. The president of the United States Of America himself heads the push to build more railways throughout the land. One problematic point on the map is Daisy Town. Its reputation for lawlessness is well known, and a stumbling block for progress. The president calls upon one of America’s favourite sons to bring law and order back to Daisy Town, Lucky John Luke (Jean Dujardin). </span><br />

He’s the fastest gun in the west, but he has never killed anyone. There’s never been a need to as his gun hand is so swift, his aim so sure, that no man stands a chance against him in a fight. Since his parents were both shot down dead, before his very eyes as a young boy, Luke has sworn never to take a life. With the skill and confidence he possesses, along with a very healthy slice of luck, he has never needed to. The day that he meets Pat Poker though is the day that his luck changes !.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This French film is a near perfect modern interpretation on the Lucky Luke comic book, colourful, comedic and thoroughly entertaining. Light hearted entertainment to please the masses. It’s like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon with Acme like gadgetry aplenty, all magnificently built to order rather than reliant on CGI, and all the better for it. The end showdown in the Arizona desert with a stupendous multi faceted casino, structured upon a one armed bandit, is quite brilliant. A poignant representation of the birthright of Las Vegas for sure.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jean Dujardin makes for an amicable enough Lucky Luke, and his cowboy strut and cocksure stature is in keeping with the character. His talking horse adds to the fun, along with quirky appearances from western legends Jesse James, Calamity Jane and Billy The Kid. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sixties studio Toho terror as a group of associates aboard a private yacht run into stormy seas. Battered and beaten by the elements the disabled boat is washed up near an uncharted island. The shaken up passengers and crew take to the beach, and go in search of fresh water and food. They soon discover that they are not the first to have strayed off course and been drawn to this place. They later pray that unlike their predecessors they actually get to leave its eerie embrace !.</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This small band of people all have their own hang ups and all frailties, unpleasantness and selfish attributes soon come to the fore. Survival proves to be the most difficult thing of all, as trusting each other is essential, but the order of sensible command is tenuous at best. The men become insular and the women flirt to acquire position of importance in order to attain privilege. The baseness of man shows its true countenance.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">A long derelict ship becomes their base, but aboard its deck and throughout its hold is a mysterious carpet of mould. This mould, however, is unlike anything regularly seen. Its density is irregular and the hue is different !?. The ship is identified as an oceanography craft, and those aboard were clearly experimenting with this growth, and also an unknown species of mushroom. An oversized mushroom contained within a wooden crate, marked Matango, is in situ within the scientific lab. The botanists had discovered this new species clearly indigenous to the island.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two women in the party are the first to discover that curiously the ship has no mirrors. Where once they hung there is just an outlay marking of what once was. The remnants of the shattered mirrors are later discovered smashed up in the surrounding jungle. Tins of food and fresh water are uncovered, along with the ships log which deters the new arrivals from even considering using the mushrooms as a food supply. There is something about the mushrooms that holds the answer to what has happened to the former crew members, as no sign of their existence remains.</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">With an estimate of only one weeks supply of tinned food available the group must pull together and search for longer term supplies. They argue amongst themselves and the inherent human intolerances spill forth, causing discontent and worse within their ranks. Desperate acts leads to desperate measures, and soon some of the survivors turn to the mushrooms as sustenance. It is then that the truth behind what has gone before comes to be, and the presence of island inhabitation reveals itself.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">A typically vibrant colourful horror / sci-fi social commentary strain of paranoia and class plays out in this Toho production. The islands kaleidoscopic hue is wondrously shown off in all its cinemascope splendour. The human hybrid creature costumes are so superior to the obvious CGI applications of today. There really is nothing to top a well made costumed monster, and the mushroom people are a great example of this. A very well made fantastical horror entry, replete with interesting, if flawed, characters and a creepy environment in the island itself.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the Matango Mushroom monstrosities outnumber their human counterparts it pretty much falls upon one last credibly decent person to take flight, and finally attempt to escape from the clutches of the island. It’s an incredulous undertaking, but this lone survivor has had all the Shitake they can take !. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">A brilliant surgeon, Doctor Gogol (Peter Lorre), is infatuated with a talented theatre actress, Yvonne Orlac (Frances Drake), to the point of doing anything to make her his. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Night after night Gogol watches her from his enclosed private box at the theatre, until the night she announces she is leaving to be with her husband as he pursues his career as a classical pianist. Fate, however, plays its cruel hand !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stephen Orlac (Colin Clive) is returning by train to Paris to meet with his wife on the eve of their new adventure together. Also on board the train is a murderer in the custodianship of two policemen. The killer is a famous circus knife thrower, known as Rollo the knife thrower, who’s skills were applied in murdering his wife. Tragedy strikes when the train derails. Amongst the wreckage lies Stephen Orlac, alive but both of his hands shattered in the accident. His future as a pianist in jeopardy !.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsG6doSWV6DgRquY683a0Z4DqTf1h8O28FVOwanG263b5BusiTcchctr7xJlIflzP60Aig2AfDpwlvAXL9f2w35w6zQgQYJHYLANIcs-yPVv90v8eagIMoo6q_Frl6s8iAPQHXnQrpq2Q/s1600/mad+love+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsG6doSWV6DgRquY683a0Z4DqTf1h8O28FVOwanG263b5BusiTcchctr7xJlIflzP60Aig2AfDpwlvAXL9f2w35w6zQgQYJHYLANIcs-yPVv90v8eagIMoo6q_Frl6s8iAPQHXnQrpq2Q/s400/mad+love+4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Having scorned Doctor Gogol’s advances Yvonne Orlac is forced to turn to him in order to try and save her husbands hands. The surgeon is only too happy to offer his skills, seizing the opportunity to ingratiate himself into the affections of the object of his desire. Instinctively he knows that he cannot repair the damage done to Stephen Orlac’s own hands, but within his genius mind he has a fantastical notion.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gogol is the doctor c</span><span style="font-size: large;">alled upon to bear witness as site physician to the execution of the convicted murderer Rollo. Put to the guillotine Rollo’s body and severed head are then dispatched to Doctor Gogol’s surgery to complete the necessary medical conformities pronouncing official death. Gogol’s insanely ingenious intent is to actually use the precision hands of the knife thrower to attach to the limbs of the great pianist Stephen Orlac. He amputates Orlac’s hands, and with great surgical skill attached those of Rollo to his patient. His act is kept secret from both his patient and Yvonne Orlac.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBT57InCEbWx1HjncvJFZBWcqnjyFAaiJHFj90mFuyLMwFHSafLqBKtiUfY4BsdnX-x2I7lOad1Tp1nLrhwQT9JpW3qnhgkPhZy7eCreY2nFTdeqitqRh5ljhuNVT_sas7QHZt0J6w2gE/s1600/mad+love+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBT57InCEbWx1HjncvJFZBWcqnjyFAaiJHFj90mFuyLMwFHSafLqBKtiUfY4BsdnX-x2I7lOad1Tp1nLrhwQT9JpW3qnhgkPhZy7eCreY2nFTdeqitqRh5ljhuNVT_sas7QHZt0J6w2gE/s400/mad+love+6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The operation is a great success but the process of rehabilitation is long and expensive. Yvonne Orlac is forced to sell personal possessions in order to pay rent and put food upon the table for both her husband and herself. Stephen Orlac feels detached from his hands and is convinced they are not his own !. As time passes, and his frustrations at not being able to properly play the piano grow, his hands seem to take on a mind of their own. He himself turns to his step father for financial assistance, but when spurned the step father later is discovered murdered, by a knife !. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">All the whilst that the Orlac’s are trying to piece their lives back together, Doctor Gogol is slipping into a madness all of his own. His obsession for the unrequited love of Yvonne Orlac pushes him deeper and deeper into a regressive state of self imposed anguish. He cannot fathom how with such brilliance he cannot acquire his desire. Such is his state of mind that in order to simulate his desires he purchases a life like wax statuette of Yvonne from the theatre, after her last performance as the character. He places it in his home, for personal show in the private of his own domicile.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The defining moment of the film is one of startling context, ahead of its time and doubtlessly terrifying for audiences at the time. Stephen Orlac is surreptitiously pushed to the edge of his own sanity by the manipulative Doctor Gogol. Himself pushed to the brink of insanity, Gogol meets with a frantic Orlac in the movies most abstract scene. Gogol posses as the resurrected murderer Rollo, to inform Orlac that the hands he now has were once his. Sat facing each other across a small table, in the dingy depths of a Paris cellar, Rollo reveals his shining surgical steel limb attachments, and harnessed neck brace keeping his reattached head in place !. A truly incredible revelation and visual shocker, amplified by the chilling utterances from Peter Lorre’s character as he strains out a whispered pitch that sends shivers down the spine. Reminiscent of later day Italian Director Dario Argento’s murderous antagonists from his Giallo pictures, quite likely inspired by this very pivotal moment in screen horror history. An incredible scene, eerie in its inception and truly startling in its delivery. A genuine moment of originality, forever unforgettable once witnessed. A truly exceptional movie that has maintained its original awe to this day, and is still as fresh and rewarding a first time viewing experience as it surely was back upon its first release. Peter Lorre is perfectly cast as the iconoclastic genius Gogol.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoTxrjUmxZ4v0U4qdTzeNNwBm3pHzsskDCRs3q91bS3_EEm1fmmH9VoBOUfLpyZXPaXSjI_uKzA9Lw8sJQ17H47UhQHJ92M3ZhiYVrySz27CFzMP-UmJD9WTYvyGOhQNTft4vWC_IDVdo/s1600/mad+love.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoTxrjUmxZ4v0U4qdTzeNNwBm3pHzsskDCRs3q91bS3_EEm1fmmH9VoBOUfLpyZXPaXSjI_uKzA9Lw8sJQ17H47UhQHJ92M3ZhiYVrySz27CFzMP-UmJD9WTYvyGOhQNTft4vWC_IDVdo/s400/mad+love.jpg" width="306" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The movie spirals to its cataclysmic conclusion, neatly unravelling the very fabric of sanity from both Stephen Orlac and Doctor Gogol. Two men on the literal knife edge of sanity and insanity. The price for genius is ever costly, and none more so than is witnessed within the madness of this, Mad Love.</span><br />

</div></span><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Hammer Film Productions last foray into the deviancies of Doctor Frankenstein. Hiding away under the guise of Dr. Carl Victor (Peter Cushing) in a mental asylum, afforded the position of resident physician by the asylum director, due to having him compromised, Baron Frankenstein helps the inmates, but in turn helps himself at their ultimate expense !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A young surgeon pursues the works of Dr. Frankenstein, inspired by his desire to bring about new life, Dr. Simon Helder (Shane Bryant) engages in similar nefarious ways to go about his active research. Employing a grave robber to exhume the recent dead, one such night of unholy act brings the police to Helder’s small abode. The discovery of body parts and the stolen body are more than enough for the local court to pronounce the young surgeon insane. He is carted off to the mental asylum and is soon taken under the protective wing of Dr. Carl Victor. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_emcRyPAuVpT_4yI3-AwMtReTsWY6PMz29iF5Dl2rsIjfjVSbbkpSZGR49ZTQBpxN5KILHDSEWugnbwe1isfEqfLQ7EpJFPjSr69JVSclHLdGzlsPMqd3YhyYpL2XprMRiuVQWBKk-tQ/s1600/frankenstein+monster+hell.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_emcRyPAuVpT_4yI3-AwMtReTsWY6PMz29iF5Dl2rsIjfjVSbbkpSZGR49ZTQBpxN5KILHDSEWugnbwe1isfEqfLQ7EpJFPjSr69JVSclHLdGzlsPMqd3YhyYpL2XprMRiuVQWBKk-tQ/s400/frankenstein+monster+hell.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Victor is both a calming and feared figure by not only the asylum director and his staff, but also the inmates themselves. One special inmate is afforded preferential position alongside Dr. Victor. An attractive young mute girl named Sarah (Madeline Smith), given the duties of assisting in a nursing capacity. Sarah it is later unveiled is the link that affords Dr. Victor the privilege and position he has within the asylum, and the hold over the asylum director. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The new arrival, Dr. Simon Helder, immediately ingratiates himself with Dr. Victor and becomes very familiar with his surroundings, and the practices of his benefactor. He too is afforded the trust of Dr. Victor and assists him with his medical rounds within the asylum. Helder more than suspects that Dr. Victor is in fact none other than Baron Victor Frankenstein !.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0cSlXxEwFV48a_4HLqzZ7-9ANYcUvn9HUMnRdDYiuPvuGP8BioJ2GzR1ZYxTaE63CS2Ts2QCedjfCNPlooryTexDaP7ooml2QKXy8kGikSnAMU6kHEqWwcw0aqiTCEFMqXfWWuoX2DPo/s1600/frankenstein+monster+hell+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0cSlXxEwFV48a_4HLqzZ7-9ANYcUvn9HUMnRdDYiuPvuGP8BioJ2GzR1ZYxTaE63CS2Ts2QCedjfCNPlooryTexDaP7ooml2QKXy8kGikSnAMU6kHEqWwcw0aqiTCEFMqXfWWuoX2DPo/s400/frankenstein+monster+hell+5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">Helder pushes Dr. Victor to divulge more information and enlighten him to his true purpose for continuing to remain at the asylum, when at any time he could just leave. The introduction to a sub section of dangerous asylum inmates opens up the truth, and when directly asked as to his true identity Dr. Victor does not hide the fact that he is indeed, Baron Frankenstein !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With the gargantuan bulk of a near Neanderthal inmate, interred due to his pathological urge to kill people with broken glass, used as the main frame for his latest experiment, Dr. Victor Frankenstein is very much alive and well !. The hulking killer, along with a mathematical genius and an accomplished hand sculpture, form the basis of a superior being. All meet with suspiciously induced demises at their own implementation. Dr. Simon Helder knows only too well that Baron Frankenstein is responsible, yet the scientist within him craves the same desire to create life from death, and bring about a super being. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOMtzf9YvhpAQaWSN-2dlRwjbROQe2ETUsTgxkLKzGIM64RUeNOF_2qlj7BkFaePCNRaAzoBiUHg52zyZkaJAdNquk0yhSg051577dkt0qYkPAjYvT8V8q_8ylQQBymUpfa4NMfR5Vh7g/s1600/frankenstein+monster+hell+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOMtzf9YvhpAQaWSN-2dlRwjbROQe2ETUsTgxkLKzGIM64RUeNOF_2qlj7BkFaePCNRaAzoBiUHg52zyZkaJAdNquk0yhSg051577dkt0qYkPAjYvT8V8q_8ylQQBymUpfa4NMfR5Vh7g/s400/frankenstein+monster+hell+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Suitably bloody transplants and bodily attachments are made, along with a brain removal and replacement, all undertaken by the bonded doctors in the dingy depths of the asylum. Dr. Frankenstein has a new laboratory but the same old stage to enact his grisly experimentations !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Things inevitably don’t quite work out and the monstrous creature that is brought to life, looking like a deformed reject from The Planet Of The Apes (1968), with a bad face make over by Betty Davis, from Whatever Happened To Baby Jane (1962), soon reverts to type and the mind of the killer comes to the fore. The creature strikes out with shards of broken glass and when face to face with its own human body, laying dead in a shallow grave, out back of the asylum, it triggers a rage within.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXM8csQ9KgtTNz97xAA8_6m5GdZmIm4FZRYXx2Hx9Eqd_XTMwMxcCo9KsEFNT7buxfg4ro0sIDJ-Rqv73TpZZmcCAQ0Pb8webK5O2zNKEECD0MgflLr73_qCivmV8l2wXY7LpIynLUQ_k/s1600/frankenstein+monster+hell+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="279" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXM8csQ9KgtTNz97xAA8_6m5GdZmIm4FZRYXx2Hx9Eqd_XTMwMxcCo9KsEFNT7buxfg4ro0sIDJ-Rqv73TpZZmcCAQ0Pb8webK5O2zNKEECD0MgflLr73_qCivmV8l2wXY7LpIynLUQ_k/s400/frankenstein+monster+hell+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">The monster goes on a rampage through the asylum only to meet with his most unexpected, yet insanely apt, demise at the hands of those who understand his torment above all others. A gory rendering perhaps purposefully drawn upon by the shocking final resolution to the startling evocation of Tod Browning’s 1932 shocker, Freaks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">An above average late entry from the house of Hammer, and although certainly not the best of the Frankenstein movies, one that proves to be a memorable addition to the great name of Hammer Films during their heyday.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Swedish and American production from 1959 saw seasoned horror legend Lon Chaney Jr. appear in, and headline as the host of televisions thirteen episode show, 13 Demon Street.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lon Chaney Jr’s. character has been condemned at the premises of 13 Demon Street by hell itself, for all eternity. A punishment for sin that has been deemed as no greater outrage committed by any other mortal !. His earthly condemnation to find a crime more heinous and his terrible punishment will end.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Each episode starts with a suitably creepy intro, shot in applicable black and white, with a night time setting. A strong wind blows as thunder and lightning make their presence known. The camera pans in on a heavy wooden front door, its number, 13. The door opens and the camera glides in on through to be greeted by the resident of the premises, and host of the show, Lon Chaney Jr.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A short exchange from Lon Chaney Jr. with the viewing audience leads into the episode entitled, The Vine Of Death.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Frank is a mild mannered doctor who does research and works at the Natural History Museum. He and his wife live in a reasonably comfortable apartment block in Copenhagen. Friend and neighbour Wally is a handy man who helps them out with the odd job, but is lecherous towards Frank’s wife behind his back.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Frank has been preparing his internal green house by digging out a small plot to plant more of his samples that he is studying from the plant life world. Research at the Natural History Museum has given him the opportunity to study first hand a very rare, and long since petrified Malayan bulb some three to four thousand years old.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When Frank returns home unexpectedly one day from the museum, eager to plant the rare vine bulb from Malaya, he discovers Wally is sexually harassing his wife. Frank walks in on them as his wife pulls a knife on Wally. Frank tussles with Wally only to be inadvertently stabbed with the blade. Frank is killed by its incision !. Implicated in his death together, Wally and Frank’s wife decide to bury the body in the recently prepared greenhouse soil plot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Frank’s disappearance for a few days is investigated by the police when he fails to turn up at the museum. Upon speaking to Frank’s wife at the apartment his disappearance is explained as him having walked out on her with no forwarding address. That evening the wife packs her belongings in order to get away. Wally is still pestering her and the same evening is in a drunken stupor. His inebriated state proves costly as he stumbles around in the hot house environment of Frank’s apartment and collapses unconscious atop of the site that Frank has been buried. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When Frank’s body was buried beneath the soil upon his person was the bulb of the museum categorised ‘Death Vine’. A plant that is attracted to heat, particularly that of living body heat !. During its period of plantation beneath the warm soil it has also benefited from the residual heath of the inert human body. The proximity of Wally’s body now produces even more body heat for it to draw upon. During the course of the evening the vine takes full advantage of its conductor and entangles its flourishing vines around Wally’s body. Wally is strangled to death !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The following morning Frank’s wife is awoken by the police paying her another visit and together they discover Wally’s dead body. Further investigation unravels the truth behind Frank’s disappearance as his body too is uncovered beneath the soil.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A strange tale of love, lechery, betrayal and death. It just goes to prove that not all in life and love is ‘vine’ !. </span><br />

</div><span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">A grand guignol of Euro horror, circumspect cinema forlorn of the shackles of censorship of the time, resplendent in the kaleidoscopic cornucopia of vibrant colour, giving life to each wondrous frame. Without doubt this is a neglected classic of the horror genre.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Christopher Lee is perfectly cast in the role of a necromancer and murderer. He plays the role of Count Regula, a man of position, title and power over those around him. It is a time where noblemen rule the lands, but the poor are kindly and content. Count Regula usurps his position for self attainment in the belief of a life beyond death. In the dungeon chamber of his castle he murders twelve young virgin women, their blood vital to his insane lust for eternal life. In order to complete his nefarious plan he must however take the lives of thirteen. It is in the act of grooming the noble lady of the land that he comes undone. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWoZhBXxj2WGoIyutY3xHFNedZ17n6-m8EHmAXgsg7o4n2a7sAS0W_jr44fcuamR8byrKSSF19vZjdzUAOCn6jCHrwVCB5xVGJo9HWlmXcleLvEJIrFrOpzihpKYd0f-I6tsMhr4oY8Eg/s1600/dr+sadism+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWoZhBXxj2WGoIyutY3xHFNedZ17n6-m8EHmAXgsg7o4n2a7sAS0W_jr44fcuamR8byrKSSF19vZjdzUAOCn6jCHrwVCB5xVGJo9HWlmXcleLvEJIrFrOpzihpKYd0f-I6tsMhr4oY8Eg/s400/dr+sadism+6.jpg" width="281" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Count Regula is ordered by the chief prosecutor to be drawn and quartered for his despicable acts. His face impaled by a steel spike lined mask of death the Count is marched to his place of execution. Placed in the town centre, with a crowd baying for his blood, he is strung out by all four limbs, tethered to four work horses, and torn apart !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One generation on and the Count seeks vengeance upon the descendants of the two most responsible for his demise. The daughter of the noble lady, Baroness Lilian von Brabant (Karin Dor), and Roger von Marienberg (Lex Barker), the son of the prosecutor who ordered the death of Count Regula, both receive invitations to the castle of Regula. Their parental heritage is unknown to both, kept from them in order to protect from the heinous history that befell their family names. Both seek to unravel the mystery surrounding their pasts so travel the cursed road to Count Regula’s castle.</span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Baroness Lilian von Brabant has her maid Babette as a travelling companion. Roger von Marienberg has the companionship on the journey of a priest, who later turns out to be nothing more than a likeable rogue, garbed in the attire of a man of God in order to blag his way into the castle, believing that rich pickings may be had. The castle is far from giving up its trove however, as all soon come to learn !.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The entire film is lusciously shot, with glorious outdoor settings and applicably gothic interiors. Amongst the refineries of the finely bedecked film are many scenes deliciously reminiscent of an eerie pictorial rendering of Hans Christian Andersen’s. The sequence where both descendants travel in their separate horse and carriage, along the bumpy route to the castle, is the stuff of a nightmarish painting of Salvador Dali come to life. Haunting imagery of twisted trees, enshrouded by mist, their trunks and branches dressed with the lifeless forms of human bodies, their limbs separated and layered as if trinkets upon a Christmas tree. Panicked horse carriage driver whipping his steeds as the nigh time envelopes them, ever carrying them on towards the castle. Truly a stunning visual. Extenuated by shots of bodies being ridden over along the trail, believed to be just bumps in the road by its travellers, and heightened by the appearance of horse riders bedecked in all black robes, with hoods to hide their features, in flight to abduct the baroness. The finest example of Euro cinema in harmony with the very best that the period had to offer cinema goers, from the likes of master Italian movie auteur Mario Bava himself.</span><span lang="EN"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The four travellers all come together, albeit in different manner, at the castle of Count Regula. Greeted by Regula’s henchman and servant into a cornucopia of twisted regalia and malevolent draping. The catacombs of the castle are a hideous haven for rodents, spiders and scorpions, side by side with carcass masticating vultures. All the trappings of a twisted and torturous host under one roof, and its invited guests now entwined within its wicked walls.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTtYd07rQfSj-xAdiy4uH8XkdJWWmrfjmtNSKWG2HLC46umUgzRZdZIyHI2L4YpKYXeVLkS_KP-Zdps-WZOH7lGMI_UJMccoLBia3Zr6jX5gj7zOpJIfacK6-yAqKrHEnh9x7gR78qtDg/s1600/dr+sadism+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTtYd07rQfSj-xAdiy4uH8XkdJWWmrfjmtNSKWG2HLC46umUgzRZdZIyHI2L4YpKYXeVLkS_KP-Zdps-WZOH7lGMI_UJMccoLBia3Zr6jX5gj7zOpJIfacK6-yAqKrHEnh9x7gR78qtDg/s400/dr+sadism+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Count Regula’s henchman has cunningly plotted the coming together of the descendants of his masters authors to his demise. He has followed his masters given orders for thirty five years to resurrect him at this time. Laying dormant within a see through coffin, his head and torso still separated from his limbs, laid out uniformly in readiness to become whole once again. The rising up of Count Regula is very well done, and similarly done in the best traditions of Count Dracula resurrecting, perhaps highly appropriate considering the presence of Christopher Lee in this role also. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVWfhBTIO3nx90XFL5hhhVjsz7ELGGDCTzKwgAwjy2O0RdiY1EoFsBPhnRcdqt5Zt2TLb-7oXxTgOr1kttVBAbvGX4q0bzPRcCZSX9XXHaA5Zn7w3wL6SB22fwJr1K9F8-RqXn3t2f4Y/s1600/dr+sadism+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVWfhBTIO3nx90XFL5hhhVjsz7ELGGDCTzKwgAwjy2O0RdiY1EoFsBPhnRcdqt5Zt2TLb-7oXxTgOr1kttVBAbvGX4q0bzPRcCZSX9XXHaA5Zn7w3wL6SB22fwJr1K9F8-RqXn3t2f4Y/s400/dr+sadism+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With the writing of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Pit And The Pendulum as its pivotal theme of torture, the introduction of a mighty swinging blade, swooping down upon a later shackled Lex Barker, comes as no surprise, but is without doubt perhaps the finest showing of the lethal contraption taken from the descriptive page of the classic author.</span><span style="font-size: large;">Other devilish devices and cruel contraptions are ladled out rapaciously, and the vision of the Count’s near naked victims bodies strewn over his devices of death is grisly indeed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Former Tarzan lead hero Lex Barker must swing into action to stop Count Regula from attaining his goal, and save the beautiful maiden in the process. Superb stuff for certain then from a cast of meaningful characters, visuals to kiss the corneas of all viewing, and a cracking good gothic horror movie all round. Seek out The Torture Chamber Of Dr. Sadism at the earliest possible moment. </span><br />

Bedlam is Will Young’s first introduction to the world of acting. His character is ambiguous in so far as his flat mate Molly has a bit of a crush on him but fellow flat mate Kate suspects that he is gay. Kate instigates her own plan of action by pushing herself upon Ryan after a drinking session, much to the annoyance and disappointment of Molly. During the evening of drink and foreplay strange and evocatively supernatural occurrences play out unnoticed by the trio. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Time to introduce another character, perhaps the strongest and certainly most interesting, Jed. Labelled with a history of mental illness Jed in fact is able to communicate with the other side. He sees ghosts and interacts with them, sometimes as an intermediary between this life and the next. Jed receives messages from beyond that his cousin Kate is in danger. The loner heads with haste to Bedlam Heights to aid his oblivious relative. A vengeful spirit is seeking to lay claim to a trinket that Kate has been given from the former institution, believing that she is linked to previous ills put upon the spirits family.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">A suitably eerie opening episode to this initial six episode programme. Promising stuff with a good cast, and a lead character in Jed that is multi layered. The central focus of Bedlam Heights is applicably creepy, and the closing shot at the end of episode one lets the audience know that Jed is going to need to stick around. Bedlam has a horrifying history, and there are a multitude of wraiths and tortured souls unable to lay the past to rest !.</span><br />

</div><span lang="EN"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Count Karol De Lavud returns, resurrected from his dormant state, to bear fangs once more and to seek out his true vampire bride. The gothic ghoul is back to pursue Marta Gonzalez (Ariadna Welter) and his nemesis Doctor Enrique Saldívar (Abel Salazar), both reprising their roles from El Vampiro (1957). The calm and aristocratic count, with a lust for blood, also returns in the original form of Germán Robles. It lays once again upon the broad shoulders of <span lang="EN">Doctor </span><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: large;">Enrique Saldívar to protect his love interest, Marta Gonzalez, from succumbing to the hypnotic lure of Count Karol De Lavud. For all concerned there is a great deal at ‘stake’ !.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: large;">A cracking start to the movie sees two men breaking into the crypt at the residence of the hacienda from the first movie. The estate is still watched over by Marta’s aunt María Teresa, but she is overcome by the invaders. The men have come in search of the vampire Count Karol De Lavud, and equipped to break into his tomb. Fantastically shot night sequence and suitably eerie mood, with evening wind and creaking wooden joists. Successfully opening up the sealed tomb the grave robbers skulk away into the dark of the night, replete with the vampires casket and contents !.</span></span><span lang="EN"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">A colleague of Doctor Saldívar is responsible for taking it upon himself to seek out the truth about the fantastical story that Enrique Saldívar has confided to him. He intends to scientifically uncover the myth of vampirism. His hired help in this foolhardy enterprise of body snatching is Baraza, a watchman at the local town wax museum. Together they bring the casket back to the town medical facility where Doctor Saldívar is one of the resident physicians. Baraza takes payment but insists upon extra to keep his silence, and upon seeing the contents of the coffin. Therein lays Count Karol De Lavud, a stake embedded into his dormant heart. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The anxious doctor sees Baraza out, but before making his exit the hulking watchman has taken a fancy to the opulent pendant around the neck of the count. He surreptitiously returns to the room, gaining entry via a window, to claim the object of his desire. The retrieval of the resplendent neck piece is hindered by the large wooden stake in the chest of the dormant body. With rash ignorance Baraza pulls out the stake to make easy the capture of his desire. Before the would be thief is able to make haste, and leave via the same way he entered, Count Karol De Lavud has awakened from his dormant state of the un-dead. Reward for Baraza’s self gratification is induced hypnotic control over his very being, and enslavement under the ward ship of his new master, Count Karol De Lavud. The vampire has risen once more from the grave !.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">A very short period of time has elapsed between El Vampiro and this sequel, so Marta Gonzalez is still with the Doctor Enrique Saldívar, staying at the same medical facility until she moves back to her stage troop. All being once again under the same roof it is not long at all before the Count Lavud realises the object of his desire is within his grasp.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">In a more contemporary setting of a town environment the creepy and claustrophobic stature of the first film is lost, but redefined in other equally as satisfying ways. There are several extremely well realised moments where the visuals are exceptional. A scene where the count stalks a woman in the back streets of the town, making full use of heels on stone cobbled underfoot, and giant cast shadows of the preying vampire, are reminiscent of the classic silent feature Nosferatu (1922). The application to its full extent of a lethal Iron Maiden device is suitably macabre, set amongst the dystopia of the dimly lit chamber of horrors within the wax museum.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Count Karol De Lavud’s pursuance of Marta, and his squaring off against Enrique Saldívar, is the real cut and thrust of the story. The vampires enslaved servant Baraza adds muscle to the terror from the tomb, and the spirited María Teresa is as close to a female version of a Professor Van Helsing as they come.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">El ataúd del Vampiro aka The Vampire’s Coffin, is a reasonably accomplished sequel for its time, but perhaps shows up more of its budgetary restraints when viewed today than its forbearer. Viewing the count transform from vampire to vampire bat is quirky, but rather more obviously silly is the all too apparent wire that the flying creature transverses along. Ultimately overlook able of course, as if anything the marvellous job that Casa Negra have done in delivering a crisp, clear print to the digital format is ironically also responsible for such devices to now be seen. Where once there was grain and dimly lit frames, now shines out a resplendent plenitude of vibrant frames to revel in.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Commander Steve McGarrett is hunting down terrorist Victor Hesse (James Marsters). In the mix is the factor that McGarrett has Hesse’s brother in custody, Hesse however has McGarrett’s father held hostage. There is no trade off as both men held are killed. The difference in the two is that McGarrett shoots the brother in self defence, whereas Hesse retaliates in cold blooded murder !.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Returning home to Oahu in Hawaii Steve McGarrett buries his father, and focuses on tracking down Hesse. With news of Hesse running a human trafficking operation in Hawaii, ex navy seal McGarrett is approached by the governor of the island to head up a new task force to fight crime. Offering him the freedom to select his own team, and run the force without any interference from upon high. To do the job his way !.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It’s pretty much an adrenaline rush from the get go with a very cool cast to enhance the electricity between the main characters. Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) first teaming up with Danny Williams (Scott Caan) is superb testosterone overload, with the high spirited individuals not holding back on cutting home truths, and exchanging both verbal and physical blows at each other. The future development of these two characters playing off each other, earning mutual respect and watching each others backs is buddy cop brilliance in the making.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Daniel Dae Kim, most recognisable from his long stint in the massive hit series Lost, plays Chin Ho Kelly. A man trusted by Steve McGarrett’s police detective father, and so a natural inclusion into his new squad. Rounding off the team in all the right places is the stunning Grace Park as the rookie cop Kono KalaKaua, with a fast track potential that qualifies her for McGarrett’s elite task force. This beauty with brains is a surfing babe with a lean and lithe figure, not to mention kick ass moves out of the water.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">With the team in place Steve McGarrett sets about tackling the immediate issue of human trafficking, and a second opportunity to take down Victor Hesse. Its infectious rejuvenation of the tried and tested TV cop show formula is so refreshing, with snappy dialogue, quirky dry humour, and smart character interaction at its driving heart. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A highly entertaining opening show stopper, and a superb sign of things to come from this top quality produced show. Respectful of the original pioneering heritage its appeal to both old school fans, and modern day action loving audiences, on the back of this, should prove highly beneficial to the longevity of, ‘the new kind of cops’. What a rush and tingle down the back of the neck sensation when that classic theme music kicks in, and Steve McGarrett first utters the immortal phrase ‘book him Danno’. Brilliant. Expect great things from this new version of Hawaii Five-O</span>. <span style="font-size: large;">Be sure to... catch the wave.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"></div><span style="font-size: large;">Foul fiend Dr. Fu Manchu seeks to assert his desired dominion over the world populace by attaining the eternal symbol of tyrannical terror, the sword and mask taken to his death tomb by Asia’s mightiest scourge, Genghis Khan. Possession of which Fu Manchu chillingly foretells shall afford him an even greater all conquering dominance than that of Genghis Khan himself, the historically despicable Mongolian self appointed universal king !.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Horror legend Boris Karloff is perfectly cast in the fiendishly furtive role of Dr. Fu Manchu. Notably this being his first actual big screen talking role. The application of facial make up, to attain the dastardly dark pantomime baddy look of evil incarnate, is masterfully achieved. Enhanced to perfection by the acting skills of Karloff himself.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">The British government send a team to unearth the tomb of Genghis Khan and gain possession of the highly vaunted sword and mask, in an attempt to acquire before Fu Manchu does. Sir. Nayland Smith of Scotland Yard is also on the case and proves to be a useful man to have around once Fu Manchu’s minions do indeed appear on the scene.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Expedition leader Sir Lionel Barton is taken captive by Fu Manchu and subjected to the heinous torture of continuous bell ringing. Nothing quite like being tolled off when you don’t do what is asked of you. Sir Lionel is expected to divulge the whereabouts of the Genghis Khan treasures but stubbornly refuses. His daughter Sheila (Karen Morley), and her handsome beau Terrence Granville (Charles Starrett), are desperate to get Sir Lionel back from the clutches of the diabolical Fu Manchu.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Terrence Granville goes to Fu Manchu with the mask and sword of Genghis Khan in exchange for the return of Sir Lionel. Unbeknownst to the young well intentioned philanthropist, the guile of Nayland Smith to outwit his devilish nemesis, puts him in danger as the artefacts are mere crafted copies of the originals. For such insolence Granville is handed over to Fu Manchu’s daughter Fa Lo See (Myrna Loy), to express her predilection for pain upon others. Not content with physical infliction Fu Manchu himself imbues the young would be hero with a cocktail of poisons. Proficiently extracted from lizard, spider and snake, in his typically wonderfully realised mad scientist laboratory, Fu Manchu injects the mind controlling serum into Granville. </span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Not in control of his own faculties Terrence Granville entangles both Sheila Barton and Nayland Smith up in Fu Manchu’s web of wickedness. Shackled to a sand weighted contraption, set above a horde of hungry alligators waiting to be fed below, Nayland Smith is caught up in a fabulous old school serialised cliff hanger situation. There are other maniacal devices of torture on display in the confines of Fu Manchu’s lair, along with a formidable weapon that harnesses the power of electricity, crackling out its bolts of destruction.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">High camp classic horror cinema, reinstated of its deemed racist outbursts and scenes of cruelty, The Mask Of Fu Manchu remains a strong evocation of masterly evil incarnate. A great production, with very well rendered cinematography, fabulously iniquitous sets, and a deliciously diabolical delivery of malevolence as Dr. Fu Manchu from the in his prime Boris Karloff.</span><br />
