Eugenie 4K Ultra HD Review
Eugenie arrives on 4K Ultra HD from Blue Underground on February 21. This drama was directed by Jess Franco and features include a new audio commentary, interviews and more.
Middle-Earth: Ultimate Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
The Middle-Earth: Ultimate Collector’s Edition set is a nice looking collection and a unique packaging that looks good on a bookshelf. The new features are fine and all and glad all of the commentaries are there, but disappointing that none of the extensive supplements were ported over.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the date and released artwork for the Middle Earth: Ultimate Collector’s Edition on 4K Ultra HD which includes both the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies.
The Curse of Frankenstein: Two-Disc Special Edition: Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray Review
The Curse of Frankenstein isn’t one of the great monster horror movies, even amongst the ones by Hammer Films, but I do appreciate taking a different turn of the classic story with Peter Cushing giving it his all to portraying a more unique version.
The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Ultra HD Review
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is still an incredible feet all these years later and even though I have watched it more than few times, it holds up exceptionally well (side for a couple CGI moments that look off) with a wonderful ensemble cast.

The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Ultra HD Review
I wasn’t totally enamored with The Hobbit Trilogy in my initial viewings and the extended versions didn’t really change my mind, so the same issues remain although I can still appreciate some of the technical aspects at least.

Horror Express Blu-ray Review
Horror Express for me was a fine film though my interest was mostly for its two leads in Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, sharing the screen again after many roles as Dracula and Van Helsing respectively.
Horror of Dracula Blu-ray Review
Horror of Dracula is another solid entry of the numerous Dracula films that came out dating back to the 1930s through today, and Christopher Lee yet again plays the Count with some great intensity.
The Satanic Rites of Dracula Blu-ray Review
The Satanic Rites of Dracula is a fun little horror-thriller that places two amazing veteran actors together in Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, the latter once again portraying one of the best cinematic villains in Dracula.

The House That Dripped Blood Blu-ray + Screen Caps
The House That Dripped Blood is a fun enough anthology movie that is mostly entertaining seeing this cast which includes Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Denholm Elliott and Jon Pertwee, even if they’re not all in the same scenes together.

Review: Death Line Blu-ray Review
Death Line was a bit of a disappointment for me with a story that somehow felt incomplete and characters, outside of Pleasence, not really making an impact. Still, there are some entertaining aspects and Donald Pleasence did seem like he was having a good old time.
Hannie Cauldert Blu-ray Review
Hannie Caulder is that rare female-led Western with the added rape-revenge angle which would come to more prominence in the 1970s with the likes of I Spit on Your Grave. However, while the “scene” is troubling, the performance from Raquel Welch was fantastic with honorable mention going to Robert Culp.
Review: Mill Creek Multi-Pack June 2016 Releases
I give a brief breakdown on Mill Creek’s June 7th multi-movie pack releases, specifically Streets of Fear and Midnight Movie Madness. None of these movies are of high-quality and are mainly remembered for the stars sometimes in smaller roles. At basement bargain prices, these might be worthy for collector’s of these cheap sets.

Review: The Hound of the Baskervilles BD + Screen Caps
Not sure how this version compares to the others, even the 1939 one which I saw several years ago, but Hammer Films’ 1959 The Hound of the Baskervilles is still an entertaining Sherlock Holmes mystery featuring a solid performance from Peter Cushing as the great detective.
