Countess Dracula Blu-ray Review -1971 Horror – Not One Of Hammer’s Best

I’m somewhat of a fan of certain types of horror films, none more so than Hammer. I love their style, music and actors so when any such film makes its way on to Blu-ray I simply must take a look.

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage Blu-ray Review (1970)

You’ve probably noticed I rather like Dario Argento films having reviewed pretty much all the available Blu-ray’s. Well one I hadn’t seen was Argento’s very first film but luckily for me Arrow Video has recently released it sporting a new 4K restoration on Blu-ray. So without further ado here’s my The Bird with the Crystal Plumage Blu-ray Review. When Sam, an American writer living Italy stubbles across a women being attacked in…

The Howling Blu-ray Review – So So 1981 Werewolf Offering

My October horror season begins here as I count down to Halloween. It’s time to take a look at some of the horror films that are now available on Blu-ray. The film I’m looking at here is Joe Dante’s The Howling from 1981 and has a bit of a cult following. I can’t really remember it that well but with Studiocanal having released a brand new restored version on Blu-ray just last week I’m more than keen to take a look.

The Howling releases on Blu-ray in the UK

Only one of this week’s Blu-ray releases really stands out for me and that happens to be the horror film The Howling (1981). Directed by Joe Dante it stars Dee Wallace and Patrick Macnee. The Blu-ray release claims to be a “Brand New Restoration” so fingers crossed that it really does have excellent picture quality, I haven’t checked this version out yet but will be doing so soon. Anyway it’s released by Studiocanal, I’ll put a review out soon so keep an eye out for it.
