BLOOD SUCKERS ( 1971 )
Peter Cushing leads a group of friends searching for a missing Oxford college professor in Greece. They soon realise he?s caught up in a web of superstition, voodoo and strange vampirism.
It?s well known this was quite a troubled production and it certainly seems like there are two or three different films edited together at times. But it does have a good cast ( including Edward Woodward, who appears in it for about two minutes ! ). And, of course, dear Peter Cushing is always worth watching.
Severin?s lovely looking Blu Ray also features the longest cut of the movie, including the previously lost full orgy scene, in all its hippy drippy glory.
BRIGHT HAIR ( 1997 )
Troubled schoolgirl Ann ( played by Emilia Fox ) stumbles upon a gruesome murder near her home, resulting in her dark moods and blackouts getting worse. As more murders ensue and her behaviour becomes more erratic and bizarre, does she know a little more than she is letting on?
Stumbled upon this one on Talking Pictures tv and thoroughly enjoyed it, right up to its gripping finale. Central to this is Emilia Fox in the lead role, who gives a terrific performance of a girl who clearly doesn?t know what is real or not.
Great direction and eerie sound effects help make this a little gem of a movie. Recommended.
