Night of the Living Dead, 1968 - A true classic that launched a whole sub-genre of horror that continues to this day.


Just watched the Criterion edition.  Man! what an improvement over how I've seen this film before.  The opening scene in the graveyard just sparkles with clarity.  Like it was filmed yesterday.  Makes even the dull gray Pennsylvania skies look good.  If you haven't seen this Blu-Ray release, you really must - really.

I'm sold! Love this film and would like to own a quality print. Thanks, Adam.

Ghost and Mrs. Muir, The, 1947 - A haunting of the most romantic kind.

Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison and George Sanders.


OK, so it's not a horror.  It's still one of my favorite ghost tales.  One that can be watched by people who hate scary movies and children of any age. 

GAMM uses black and white as only the cinematographers of old could.  Absolutely gorgeous imagery.


It always leaves me with a warm feeling.

Mine too! I don't think anyone would disagree that Herrmann's score is one of his best!

The Clairvoyant (1935)

This film really feels like a forgotten classic to me. Claude Rains in his prime. My eternal favorite Fay Wray, charming and gorgeous as always.

If you haven't seen this one, check it out.

The Clairvoyant (1935)

Saw it, once, a long time ago. It doesn't seem to get mentioned that often. Is it on a studio released DVD?

The Criterion bluray is definitely awesome.

Kiss of the Vampire
Curse of the Werewolf

Both of these are included in the 8 film Hammer Horror Series dvd(s) from 2014 from Universal.  I had recently seen a few posts about this same set being issued on Bluray, also from Universal released in 2016 as Hammer Horror 8-Film Collection so I wanted to compare some screen caps.  The screen caps of the Blurays that I've seen look great but there are some complaints of altered aspect ratios on some of the films (though it doesn't look like it removes that much of the [lower] frame) and I gotta say the DVDs look great too.  There may be a slight enhancement of clarity in the Bluray as well as a slightly brighter picture.  For anyone just getting into Hammer I'd say it's a toss up, buy whichever one you can find or should I say whichever one you can find cheaper.

I have both sets. I watch the BD for the ones in the correct AR and the DVDs for the rest.

I purchased the DVD from Amazon. Says it is from Synergy Entertainment. It looks like a burned disc and after watching it I remembered thinking it was longer when I had seen it before. Sure enough, the last time I had watched it was on TCM, which aired a restored version. The version that is on the DVD is a chopped up version. Not sure how to get the full 80 minute version.

I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for that one!

The Vampire, 1957 - Local physician discovers dying medical researcher whose last words are "the pills."  The dr. puts the pills in his pocket and forgets they are there - big mistake.

John Beal, Colleen Gray, Kenneth Tobey, Dabbs Greer and James Griffith.

Shlocky makeup and plot holes are made up for by solid cast and wonderful 50's locations.  Always makes me nostalgic for the way things looked back then.

The Blu-Ray looks great - but zero extras.
