HAVE YOU MISSED THIS? It's still LIVE but time is ticking 😮
Here is director Joe Dante short review of the film 'The Flesh and the
Fiends' which gives a little idea of really, how great this movie is!
The trailer played in this clip is the US trailer, where the film was
christened with the 'subtle' title of, 'The Fiendish Ghouls'. Hmm nice.
It arrived on it's first outing as 'Mania', following the trend of
'one-word-titles' craze since the success of Hitchcock's 'Psycho'! As
Dante says 'The film is greater than it's title, it's a pretty good
movie and deserves better. One of the virtues of British horror movies
at this time is, they are played as if they were Shakespeare. There's no
winking or nodding or campy quality. The actors in this picture take
everything seriously....' CLICK HERE! and enter! Good luck
everyone 😁 Take care and look after one another 😉- Marcus
NEWS:
KINO has released artwork design for their much awaited first time blu
ray release of a great Peter Cushing1960 film, 'Flesh and the Fiends'!
What do you think? This film comes with some extras, but for me, just
the chance to see this often forgotten little gem, on blu ray is a plus
enough! Produced in what promises to be quite an experience in black and
white, it carries a fabulous cast of
actors, Cushing, Donald Pleasence, Billy Whitelaw and George Rose all at
the top of their game and all giving their best supported by brilliant
John Gilling's screenplay and direction. It's OUT on July 7th 2020 and
like most KINO CLASSICS releases will be a 'Region A' blu ray. Taking pre-orders
now, this one will sell like hot-cakes!
THIS UNDER-VALUEDcorker, has been
struggling around in a very depressing state of ratty, scratched and
dusty prints for far too long, so the news of this well timed blu ray
release is quite wonderful. . . and here gem of a clip to show you why!
Cushing was a master at such scenes as this one. If you like his turn
in the 'Tongue slapping of the crusty and opinionated aged residents' in
Hammer films, 1969 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed'... you'll LIKE this clip which can be found at the =FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE TODAY!

#WATCHWITHCUSHING! 'The Blood Beast Terror' (1968) NOW LIVE at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FANPAGE WATCH PARTY! This is a film that for a long time had the sad reputation of being known as '#PeterCushing's
least favourite film'! A rep that was probably misunderstood, as time
has gone on to inform us, it was Cushing's 'on set' experience that
scored the 'no brownie points'. Like with a lot of tight budget movies
from this time, today we watch them with an 'understanding' maybe. Yup
the effects could be better, but I've seen much worse in
films that were produced with monster budgets, and no excuse! No one
looks good in a costume that is supposed to represent a 'real creature'
that is actually an inch to two inches in size, and every director
should have a note to themselves that reminds them, 'save some money for
the big finish' 😉Director, Vernon Sewell sadly did not.
BUT HE DID invest in a good cast, Robert Flemyng, replacing an ill #BasilRathbone
gives a great turn, Wanda Ventham is quite convincing and committed,
but I bet you she drew the line about wearing that costume, and Peter
Cushing as ever, gives good value with a cracking performance, relaxed,
charming and with some nice 'business' as Inspector Quennell. There's a
nod to #Frankenstein and body-snatches '#BukeandHare'
and the late Roy Hudd gets to make his first movie, with some well
timed black humour as the morgue attendant showing a knack that even
both #DonaldPleasence's Dr Seward in 'Dracula' and Cushing's Catflangue, in Legend of the Werewolf, would have been proud of!
