EATEN ALIVE
Aka DEATH TRAP, this follow up to Tobe Hooper's TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE doesn't quite reach the heights of that classic, but still has a certain claustrophobic atmosphere of its own, interspersed with some gruesome ( and some quite bizarre ) moments, all held together by a manic performance from Neville Brand.
Having seen this one a couple of times before, Arrow's blu ray is a revelation - the EC style colours ( particularly the reds! ) popping from the screen. Indeed, seeing clips from Dark Sky's previous dvd release, the upgrade in quality is astonishing.
THE PERFUME OF THE LADY IN BLACK
Mimsy Farmer stars as a woman who begins suffering from strange visions and hallucinations, leading to a gruesome finale in this bizarre cross beteeen ROSEMARY'S BABY and the cannibal movies from Italy in the 70s.
Raro's blu rays can be a bit hit and miss, but this is a terrific looking edition, with wonderful colours and detail.
Not your typical Giallo, but well worth viewing.
