ONE OF THE BETTER PUBLIC DOMAIN DOUBLE FEATURES
|
WHAT IT IS:
Usually, one expects less than nothing from these cheap, public-domain double features. This is an example of a pleasant surprise.
SAVE THE BOX BECAUSE:
Save the box, because that is the only case that comes with this DVD!
HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL:
This is certainly a classic of the genre starring Vincent Price. This version is B/W and Fullscreen, 75 minutes. A 3-star horror classic without gore.
ABOUT THE TRANSFER:
The transfer for the "House On Haunted Hill" was not nearly as good as the "Warner Brothers", Widescreen, BW release that I last saw this movie on. However, it played in "Fullframe" about the way a VHS transfer would, with acceptable sound and video, though a little dark at times. There was no bouncing or flutter or excessive artifacts on the film. One would assume that he/she was watching the movie on cable by the quality of the transfer.
BLUEBEARD:
This very creepy John Carradine horror vehicle is a real sleeper. Basically, it is a "Boston Strangler"-in-Paris film made 60 years ago. It is a worthwhile film to see, definitely a 3-star film, and again, without the gore or profanity that one finds in more recent offerings from this genre.
ABOUT THE TRANSFER:
Not as good as the first, but the bouncing stopped after the opening credits and some artifacts and fading persisted throughout this 60-year-old film. Still, it was quite watchable.
MECHANICAL MONSTERS:
This original "Superman Cartoon" played even better than either of the feature presentations. This is a very good transfer of a nearly 60-year-old cartoon.
BOTTOM LINE:
At around $5.00, it is very well worth the price. |
