This was the previous one, sorry. I last watched Viy (Soviet Union - 1967). The ending part was excellent. The night creatures were perfect. 9/10

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA -1925>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My wife and I saw this last week on the Big screen (Flying Monkey in Plymouth NH where We see many shows) with a Live score being played . I've seen POTO a few times, but this print (1929 re-issue) was fantastic...sharp clear picture and some early tinting for the time that worked very well, especially "The Red Death" sequences. The story is pretty creaky and as for most silent films, some of the acting can be described as "Overboard", although it was necessary to get the point across. I found the "romantic" leads quite bland and Christine, in particular, is incredibly shallow as well as fickle. But, let's be honest...the main reason to see POTO is to watch Lon Chaney do his thing. He is incredibly mesmerizing here with that first rate make-up job. Can truly imagine the screams that erupted back then when He is exposed...even though I've seen it before, had a little quickening of the pulse as Mary Philbin began to reach for the mask. Some amazing sets as well and a good job of all the extras during the Masked Ball, but Your eyes will only be on the figure in red. ***1/2 |

Curse of the Fly
This film ends the Vincent Price trilogy of the 1960s. It gives us the tragic conclusion of the story of the Delambres. It starts off rather odd with a woman in underwear escaping somewhere and, rather than by using exposition, the film takes its time to set up the characters and how she and Martin Delambre fit together. Proving how these films are more drama by today's standards, rather than pure horror. The experiment with the transporter has made advances. And it even brings them mundane trouble with passports, but sadly it turns out to be their undoing as well. In combination of the sons not willing to continue the family project. Turns out that the woman escaping from the mental institution is the leadt of their concerns. A worthy conclusion to the trilogy that inspired the great remake by Cronenberg.

Genuine (1920)
Genuine is a 1920 German silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene. It was also released as Genuine: A Tale of a Vampire. Director Wiene created Genuine as a follow-up to his massively successful film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, using the same writer and cinematographer who had worked on the earlier film. |

I love the old zombie films. Night of the Living Dead was so well made. It creeped me out as a child and overall was a good movie.
