Blu-ray Review: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

Dr. Miles J. Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) returns to his bucolic town after attending a medical convention to find the citizenry changed in subtle ways, such as a lack of genuine emotion and the fact that some folks claim their relatives are not whom they appear to be. Soon Miles gets caught up in the craziness after he is called on to investigate a body…a body with a face that remains unfinished and possesses no fingerprints. Things then go completely off the rails, as our hero discovers that plant-born changelings are taking he place of the townsfolk and he’s in for the fight of his life to stop their other-worldly machinations! Full of fantastic performances (with McCarthy being a spirited and game lead that goes from jovial to completely panic-stricken with equal aplomb, as well as notable appearances from Carolyn Jones, Dana Wynter, Larry Gates, and King Donovan…not to mention a cameo by Sam Peckinpah), a palpable sense of dread and

‘Await Further Instructions’ Now In Theaters And On VOD

Combine the techno-paranoia of Black Mirror, add the body horror of John Carpenter’s The Thing, turn them into a VHS board game, and wrap it all up in a bitingly satirical Christmas-movie package, and what do you get? Await Further Instructions from British director Johnny Kevorkian. In Await Further Instructions (review), set on Christmas day, “the Milgram family wake to find a mysterious black substance surrounding their house. Something monumental is clearly happening right outside their door, but what exactly – an industrial accident, a terrorist attack, nuclear war? Descending into terrified arguments, they turn on the television, desperate for any information. On screen, a message glows ominously: ‘Stay Indoors and Await Further Instructions’. As the television exerts an ever more sinister grip, their paranoia escalates into bloody carnage.” Starring David Bradley of Game Of Thrones, Doctor Who, and Harry Potter, the film is now in theaters and on VOD from Dark Sky Films. Sam Gittins, Neerja Naik, and Grant

In the film, “A disgraced children’s puppeteer must confront his sinister stepfather and a hideous puppet he keeps hidden in a brown leather bag in order to escape the dark horrors of his past.” James Harris, Mark Lane, Wayne Marc Godfrey, and Robert Jones produced. “a supernatural horror combining the dark psycho-drama of George Romero’s Martin with the uncanny terror of Dead of Night,” Holness enthusiastically described the movie to ScreenDaily when originally announced. “The film draws on the dark nightmares of silent expressionist horror, British classics such as The Innocents and Don’t Look Now, as well as the claustrophobic suburban gothic of Pete Walker’s Frightmare. Possum will terrify in the best tradition of classic horror cinema, evoking an atmosphere of supernatural dread and creeping horror.” Possum arrives in VOD November 2, 2018,

Holy hell creeps; here comes the monstrous mother-load…thirty classic Universal released fright flicks all in one handy-dandy Blu-ray collection! Let’s take a very, very deep dive into the Universal Classic Monsters: Complete 30-Film Collection as we feast our eerie eyeballs on every film and the eerie extras these devilish discs contain! (Fair warning: this is going to be one hell of an insanely long-ass review!!!) Kicking things of we have the Frankenstein Complete Legacy Collection Frankenstein (1931): Ol’ Doc Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) and his deformed assistant Fritz (Dwight Frye) are up to the totally reasonable and completely sane task of digging up graves and disassembling corpses with the intent of putting the best bits together like a human jigsaw puzzle. Well, thanks to janky science and lightning they succeed, but the end result isn’t the human perfection for which they strove; rather he is a misshapen monstrosity (played to putrid perfection by Boris Karloff) possessed of great strength,a child
