Phantom Stranger

"Tower Of London" (1962)
                            -Vincent Price

Plot: IMDB

On the death of his brother King Edward IV, Richard of Gloucester conspires to get the thrown for himself. The late King had two young sons, his heir, Edward V and the younger Prince Richard, but they are not of age and so names his other brother, Clarence as Lord Protector of the Realm. Gloucester soon kills his younger brother but is haunted by his ghost and what he has done. As he continues to kill those around him, Gloucester is haunted by those he has betrayed hearing voices and slowly descending into madness. He spreads rumors that the late King's two sons are illegitimate and therefore not eligible to ascend to the throne. He assassinates the young princes and is crowned King Richard III. The ghosts from his past have the final say however.

Phantom's Review: MURDER! MADNESS! GHOSTS! LUST FOR POWER! All this and one hell of a great performance from Vincent Price.
Lavish by Roger Corman standards, this is an effective, atmospheric thriller. All the cast does a fine job, but Price just knocks it out of the park. A highly entertaining film.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Phantom Stranger

"Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" (2011)
                              -James Franco

Plot: IMDB

An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.

Phantom's Review: Sci-Fi fans rejoice! "Planet Of The Apes" is back and it's kicking ass! Terrific, well made origin film. Great FX. well written (and sorta plausible) story, fine acting (Andy Serkis as Cesar is amazing) and some damn good action scenes Far, far Superior to that God awful "re-imaging" of the original film made 10 years ago. This is an "Apes" worthy of the franchise. Can't wait for the next one.

Yongary - Monster from the Deep (1967) - cool giant monster movie
Eaten Alive (1977) - really good underrated Tobe Hooper film
Creature with the Blue Hand (1967) - this was alright, decent not the best
Maniac Cop III - Badge of Silence (1993) - wasn't bad but I prefer the first and second

- This list is from about a week ago, haven't watched much movies lately, I will get back in to watching and post more often. I haven't posted in awhile

Phantom Stranger

"Curse Of  The Crimson Altar" *(1968) AKA "The Crimson Cult"
        -Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee

Plot: IMDB
When his brother disappears, Robert Manning pays a visit to the remote country house he was last heard from. While his host is outwardly welcoming - and his niece more demonstrably so - Manning detects a feeling of menace in the air with the legend of Lavinia Morley, Black Witch of Greymarsh, hanging over everything.

Phantom's Review: Despite the great talents of Karloff, Lee and Micheal Gough and Barbara Steele (as a green faced witch), this film.... well. sucks. The actors all do a fine job, but the story just plods along and not a whole lot happens. A film far beneath the talents of those involved.

- The Return of Count Yorga

Love the Count Yorga series, the first one is my favorite. Great 70's vampire flavor.

MUTANTS (2009)
Its a french film with english subtitles, based on a zombie style outbreak only the people mutate into a succubus type creature. It was actually pretty good.
