THE FLESH AND BLOOD SHOW (1972)
Plenty of flesh but not a lot of blood in this tale of a group of amateur actors who are invited to rehearse for a stage play in an old abandoned theatre, in this early Pete Walker effort.
I first saw this many years ago on VHS and found it a bit dull, but I enjoy it a lot more these days as an example of early 70s UK horror, as well as a bit of a warm up for future Walker classics such as FRIGHTMARE.
Bonus points here for being able to watch the climactic scenes in 3d for the first time ever, thanks to a pair of 3d glasses included in 88 Films fantastic boxset.
WHO SAW HER DIE? (1972)
A child killer stalks the streets of Venice in this early 70s Giallo.
Not a top tier Giallo, but it?s an enjoyable one, with another great score from Ennio Morricone ( even though certain parts are maybe a tad overused ).
This Blu Ray from Shameless looks terrific ( they certainly have upped their game in recent times ) - certainly by far the best I?ve ever seen it.
