Rating:  - What a disappointment
I purchased this video because it was listed as widescreen 2.35 aspect ratio. What a disappointment. I played it and found it was 1.85 and the title wouldn't even fit the screen. I even called the manufacturer to complain about it and they advised it must be my equipment. What jerks. I played this on several DVD players and it was 1.85, however the promo on the DVD was in 2.35. Don't order this film unless you don't care about original widescreen. This edited version does not show the main ... Read More
Rating:  - Michael Gough is Alfred??
My parents were always taking me to drive-in movies during the hey day when I was hoppin in the back seat. I remember Michael Gough quite vividly who always played the conservative, yet deranged well dressed man in a suit. For some reason, I completely forgot the name of this horror flick until recently, but will never forget that binocular scene. It rates right there with scenes from another spook thriller, (I remembered the name to this one), Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors. Saw it at the same drive ... Read More
Rating: - I learned ice tongs aren't necessarily just for ice...
Horrors of the Black Museum (1959) is certainly one of the more lurid exploitation films I've seen in awhile. Directed by Arthur Crabtree (his last film, by the way), who also directed the sci-fi classic Fiend Without a Face (1958), and produced by Herman Cohen, a pioneer in schlock exploitation with such releases as Target Earth (1954), I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957), and I was a teenage Frankenstein (1957), Horrors of the Black Museum, set in London, is a wonderfully nasty little tale about horrific ...

Rating: - TIME CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND
When I first saw this 1959 movie in the theaters, I was a rather impressionable lad, so this movie really made a lasting impression in my mind, particularly the opening binocular scene. Now, over 40 years later (ouch, am I that old??), it comes across as a rather mild, sometimes yawning, offering. I think one of the problems the director and/or writer had is that they gave us no suspense in uncovering the killer's identity. Having Michael Gough in the lead of course lets horror fans know he's up to no ... Read More
Rating: - Deliciously devilish movie, nice DVD
Michael Gough suavely chews the scenery in yet another one of his revenge-inspired madman film roles. He does them so well, why hire anyone else? Please, let others be your guide to the quality of the movie. (Suffice to say that I love it, but then again it's exactly the sort of movie I love, so it doesn't have to try very hard!) I'll tell you about the DVD...
The picture quality is a bit soft, more so in the darker scenes, but nothing too unpleasant. It'll look fine on a big television. (I check ... Read More
