Keyword View: gothic PR Jacob on Blu-ray & DVD Apr 16  Jacob Kell (Dylan Horne) is a lonely and quiet kid, mute since his father (Michael Biehn) suffered from a violent mental breakdown. Prone to violence himself, only Jacob's sister Sissy (Grace Powell) can soothe the savage beast inside him. But once his drunken stepfather Otis (played by writer/director Larry Wade Carrell) slaps his mother around once too many... Read More... PR The Bible: The Epic Miniseries on Blu-ray & DVD Apr 2  From Genesis to Revelation, the series illuminates the Bible, re-telling the stories as they unfold and revealing new insights into these iconic characters in context of the Bible. The series will feature some of the most famous stories ever written from Noah's Ark and the Exodus to Daniel in the Lion's Den to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Read More... DVD Review BARON BLOOD (BLU-RAY)  It's finally time to retire my old laserdisc copy of Mario Bava's return to gothic form, as this promises to be a wonderful Blu-ray edition from Kino Classics. Read More... PR Mario Bava's Baron Blood on Blu-ray & DVD Dec 11  After spending several years exploring more contemporary genres, director Mario Bava (Black Sunday) returned with Baron Blood to the gothic as a setting for a gruesome thriller. Working with producer Alfredo Leone, Bava crafted a film that is loyal to the bylaws of traditional horror, but is infused with a more modern visual style. Read More... DVD Review SUNSET BOULEVARD  An indelible piece of pop culture. The greatest movie ever made about movies. Maybe even the greatest movie ever made, full stop. On a sweet new Blu-ray. Read More... DVD Review ROSEMARY'S BABY (BLU-RAY)  Perhaps not the ideal film for expectant mothers to watch, Rosemary's Baby remains a masterful bit of horror that still has the ability to disturb and terrify. And it's even better on Blu-Ray.
Read More... PR Rags & Riches Collection: The Films of Mary Pickford on Blu-ray and DVD Nov 6  Mary Pickford is known today as the first film actress to achieve international super stardom. Funny, feisty and diminutive, she was also the first actor to have complete artistic control of her films. And because Pickford chose to work with the best directors, writers, craftsmen and editors, what incredible films they are. These three titles, newly mastered with full orchestral scores, demonstrate the star's commitment to excellence and the brilliant range of her acting. Featuring Sparrows, The Poor Little Rich Girl and The Hoodlum. Read More...  Three films by the master of Italian giallo film, Mario Bava: Hatchet For The Honeymoon (1970), Black Sunday (1960), and Lisa and The Devil (1973).

PR Dark Shadows on DVD, Blu-ray Combo and Digital Oct 2  Director Tim Burton brings the cult classic series to the big screen in a film featuring an all-star cast, led by Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter. Read More... PR Derek Jarman's Sebatiane & The Tempest on DVD & Blu-ray Aug 7  Derek Jarman's debut film Sebastiane is a historical drama which lays bare the latent homoeroticism that has always lurked beneath the glossy surface of Hollywood biblical epics. In Jarman's hands, The Tempest becomes an original and dazzling spectacle mixing Hollywood pastiche, high camp, and gothic horror Read More...

DVD Review THE ROOKIES: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON  The Rookies was a memorable series from the middle Seventies that both well-written and well-acted. Its second season include many intriguing plot lines and guest stars like Don Johnson, Nick Nolte, Strother Martin, John Travolta and Jim Nabors. Read More... DVD Review TWINS OF EVIL (BLU-RAY/DVD COMBO)  Any horror fan worth their salt should go a little nutty for a Hammer film with Peter Cushing and twin Playboy centerfolds in the lead roles. This may not be the celebrated Hammer's finest work, but Cushing chews it up beautifully, the Collinson girls are eye-pealing and the new Synapse 1080p transfer is quite nice. Read More... PR The Complete Hammer House Of Horror on DVD Sep 11  In 1980 Hammer took over the old Hampden Manor House in the heartland of England and produced a series of thirteen horror stories to air on British television. With a host of Hammer regulars, including Peter Cushing and Denholm Elliott, classic thespians including Brian Cox, Patricia Quinn, Georgina Hale, Diana Dors and Kathryn Leigh Scott, along with early appearances by actors like Pierce Brosnan, each episode provides a completely new and individual tale of terror and suspense. Read More... PR Breathless on Blu-ray Combo Aug 14  Lorna is a strong-willed Texas woman who's had enough of her untrustworthy husband Dale's (Val Kilmer) criminal acts and lack of husbandry. Fed up, she enlists the help of her old friend, Tiny (Kelli Giddish), to help her figure out what to do with Dale after his latest double-cross involving the theft of $100,000 from a bank. Read More... PR The Lina Wertmuller Collection on DVD Jun 19  The Lina Wertmuller Collection: The Seduction of Mimi (1972), Love & Anarchy (1973) and All Screwed Up (1974). Acclaimed as one of the leading filmmakers of the 1970s, Wertmueller demonstrates her equal skills at both rollicking comedy and rich drama with this trio of classics made during the height of her career. Read More... DVD Review DARK SHADOWS: THE BEST OF BARNABAS  If you're looking for something to clear your palate after having been exposed to the Depp/Burton reimagining of the classic series Dark Shadows as a brainless sex comedy, you can hardly do better than this collection of nine of the episodes of that original series featuring the late great Jonathan Frid. Barnabas Collins, as portrayed by Frid, was the original tormented vampire, making possible the empires of Anne Rice and Twilight, and this selection points up some of what made him so irresistible all those years ago. Read More... DVD Review DARK SHADOWS: THE GREATEST EPISODES COLLECTION - FAN FAVORITES  Some entertainment franchises go on and on. A new movie version and a new Complete Series Collection helps keep Dark Shadows on top of the heap. Barnabas and friends chilled us as children and now reaches a whole new generation of fans in a whole new form. This sampler of nine episode drawn from the entire run of the show provides a taste of the shows recipe of mixing soap opera, Gothic horror and supernatural horror. From the angst of cursed vampire Barnabas Collins to the iron-willed witchcraft of Angelique Bouchard to the wide-eyed horror of the haunted and hunted Maggie Evans to the glib tortured soul Quentin Collins, the shows characters and themes created a rich tapestry of occult television that resonates to this day.
