The Schlocky Horror Show: ‘Cannibal Terror’
❉ “There is such a staggering amount of ineptitude on display here that it eventually becomes fascinating in its own right.”
BLU-RAY REVIEW
Blu-Ray: ‘Prince Of Darkness’ (1987)
❉ The middle chapter of Carpenter’s Apocalypse trilogy contains some of his most ambitious ideas as a writer.
Blu-Ray: ‘The Changeling’ (1980)
❉ Peter Medak’s ghost story arrives on a nicely presented Blu-ray with a generous amount of extras. Does it still hold up over three decades later?
‘They Live’ (1988) 30 Years On
❉ John Carpenter’s most nakedly political film is is not just about politics but about the cynical nature of humanity itself, writes Iain Macleod.
Blu-Ray: ‘Night Of The Demon’ (1957)
❉ It’s in the trees! Andy Murray pores over Powerhouse’s exhaustive Blu Ray edition of the cult classic, here with a generous section of extras.
‘The Fog’ (1980) 4K Restoration reviewed
❉ 1980 John Carpenter classic returns to cinema screens and home entertainment newly restored and looking better than ever.
Return of the mac: ‘Columbo: Season 1’ on Blu-Ray
❉ 12 hours of one of the greatest detective shows ever to grace our screens and Columbo’s raincoat, cigars and battered Peugeot have never looked better.
‘D.O.A.: A Right of Passage’ on Blu-Ray
❉ DOA has existed in a pirate-video limbo for several decades now, and to finally see it cleaned up on Blu-Ray is a wonderful thing, writes Daniel Marner.
‘Who Killed Teddy Bear’ (1965)
❉ 1965 cult classic, originally rejected by British censors, makes its worldwide Blu-ray and VOD debut. Russ J Graham inspects the wares.
‘Ciao! Manhattan’ on Blu-Ray
❉ Emerging onto Blu Ray for the very first time David Weisman and John Palmer’s Ciao! Manhattan is an odd, fragmentary, fitfully impressive patchwork quilt of a movie.
