This looks like a bit of an oddity! 'Cooking Price-Wise' (1971) - Blu-ray pre-order available from the BFI Shop direct - UK$16:99 Release date: November 25 "The never-before released 6-part cookery show from 1971, presented by the incomparable actor and chef Vincent Price. Recipes include Moroccan tajine, the American Ice Box Cake and Fish Fillets Noord Zee! You don't need to be a master chef to join cinema's master of terror Vincent Price in the kitchen for this brilliantly bizarre crash-course in very-1970s cookery! Early in that delicious decade, while he was on a sojourn in England, the legendary screen-star and fine-dining aficionado took an unlikely break from the macabre movies to rustle up this long-sought-after labour-of-love six part television series, encouraging bored British housewives to serve up something different. From melon monsters to crocodile cucumbers, not forgetting the perfect souffle, the marvellous Mr Price is your genial and garrulous host amid the paisley-patterned saucepans, as he demonstrates favourites recipes from around the world - in this fantastic full-fat celebrity cookery show unlike any other! BFI Flipside is dedicated to rediscovering the margins of British and Irish film, reclaiming a space for forgotten movies and filmmakers who would otherwise be in danger of disappearing from our screens forever. It is a home for cinematic oddities, offering everything from exploitation documentaries to B-movies, countercultural curios and obscure classics. If it's weird, and forgotten, then it's Flipside."

Other than Cooking with Vinnie these two are also coming out. A folk horror starring Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark and an actual Vincent Price horror classic. Starve Acre Daniel Kokotajlo?s impressive follow-up to his award-winning Apostasy is a brilliant adaptation of Andrew Michael Hurley?s acclaimed novel. In 1970s Yorkshire, Richard and Juliette relocate to Richard?s childhood home, hoping the idyllic country surroundings will benefit their young son. However, a sudden tragic event drives a wedge through the family, which triggers Richard, an academic archaeologist, to bury himself in obsessively exploring a local folkloric myth. Kokotajlo?s mysterious slow-burn folk horror feels tangibly of the moist Yorkshire earth, while evoking the spellbinding nature of great supernatural and occult horror films from the 70s. It is a wildly eerie piece, tightly stitched together with genuine chills and two bold, unflinching performances from Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark. Extras: Presented in High Definition and Standard Definition Newly recorded audio commentary by director Daniel Kokotajlo, production designer Francesca Massariol and sound designer Ben Baird Newly recorded interview with composer Matthew Herbert (2024) Newly recorded interview with author Andrew Michael Hurley (2024, 20 mins) Interviews with stars Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark (2023, 10 mins) Interview with the ?Hare Team?

In shadow-shrouded Victorian England, Sir Julian Markham (Price) is a landowner hiding a terrible family secret, while Dr Neuhartt (Lee) is a surgeon carrying out dreadful experiments upon stolen cadavers. When their disparate destinies entwine ? and a mysterious murderer in a red mask begins a mission of vengeance ? a series of brazen, bloody atrocities ensue. Actors and crew that worked on the horror classic Witchfinder General were brought together again for this stylishly shot, fast paced slice of Grand Guignol ? featuring customarily powerful performances from its charismatic cast.

I would love all three of those releases but with everything else coming out this October i don't think i can afford them all this year. Probably go for Starve Acre as it's new to me and i've seen The Oblong Box a million times. |

Although I'm reluctant to buy the cookery show, Starve Acre and The Oblong Box are much more appealing because I haven't see the former and the latter is well-made and very watchable.
