Vincent Price gives an atypically restrained performance as the sole survivor of a worldwide plague that revives its victims as bloodthirsty vampires. During the day, he canvasses his abandoned hometown, tracking down and stalking his former friends and neighbors, always making sure to return before nightfall, when the dead rise to assault his fortified house. Hope arrives in the form of an apparently normal young woman (Franca Bettoia), but her agenda proves to be even more sinister than that of the vampires.
Based on the 1954 novel by coscripter Matheson (whose displeasure with the final product spurred the use of a pseudonym), this Italian-made production is best known for its influence on George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. The similarities between the two films go... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Sidney Salkow - Ubaldo Ragona DVD Release Date: Released the 20 September 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

As much as I love Boris Karloff, VOODOO ISLAND is a complete dog-log of a movie! Boris plays a TV host who debunks all things supernatural. He's hired by a zillionaire hotel magnate to go to an island and find out what happened to four men who went there. Only one of them returned, and he's zombified! So, Boris and five others set out for VOODOO ISLAND in the south pacific (!). Sounds like a terrific set-up right? Forget it! Our adventurers spend fully half of the movie's running time just trying to get to the island! Along the way, they meet a young Adam "Batman" West as a radio operator. Finally, they arrive on the island, where they spend loads of time talking and wandering around. A few man-eating plants attack, including some aquatic flora that reminded me of the ridiculous monsters...

"The Dunwich Horror" is an improvement over director Daniel Haller's first film adaptation of a H. P. Lovecraft story, "Die, Monster, Die!," but is still only an average horror film at best. The story is of Lavinia Whateley (Joanne Moore Jordan), the crazed daughter of a wizard (San Jaffe), who gives birth to twins. One of the the twins, Wilbur (Dean Stockwell), becomes a wizard who wants to borrow Miskatonic University's copy of the "Necromonicon" to unlock the gates of the other dimension where the Old Ones dwell. The other one is a monstrosity that looks more like its father and is locked down in the family dungeon (let your imagination run wild, it will do much better than the special effects here). Professor Armitage (Ed Begley) refuses to help Wilbur, who charms Nancy Wagner (Sandra...

"Hammer Horror Series" presents some of the studios best films from the early sixties period, though they might not be the most familiar to Hammer fans. A few, in fact, might come with baggage attached, but this collection dispells some of that baggage. In particular, Hammer's "Phantom of the Opera" has suffered more abuse over the years than any other of its films. The hard truth is, it's pretty good. The reason it has such a bum reputation might be because most people first saw it on television, which seriously impaired it. In it's proper aspect ratio, and with the extra scenes filmed for American TV left out, it's really pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty good. The biggest liability with the film are the horrendous opera sequences. "Evil of Frankenstein" has similarly been...
