NNEWS: #ScreamFactory to release Hammer Films 1962 'Night Creatures' aka 'Captain Clegg' starring #PeterCushing, Patrick Allen, OOliver Reed and Michael Ripper, directed by Peter Graham Scott
Release date: 22nd April 2022. Region A
In the 18th century, a Navy captain (Patrick Allen, When Dinosaurs Ruled
The Earth) and his sailors investigate the rampaging “marsh phantoms”
terrorizing a coastal town, but their search is hindered by Reverend Dr.
Blyss (horror legend Peter Cushing) and a horrifying curse. Directed by
Peter Graham Scott, this chiller also stars Oliver Reed (The Curse Of
The Werewolf), Yvonne Romain (Circus Of Horrors) and Hammer Films
regular Michael Ripper (Quatermass And The Pit).
ABOVE : THERE IS A FULL Review of the film and a great gallery of stills with some pretty rare snaps on set during the making, RIGHT HERE!
Note: Please... don't ask me about the ratio of the print in this
release. I am a fan and I love the film, the ratio matters not one jot
to me and I am guessing that is the case to most fans who look forward
to anything of Hammer's or Cushing's , Lee's Price.. being released..
remastered with extras or otherwise. But ratios? Nope. The UK,
Lionsgate, Canal release of many Hammer films on blu ray for the first
time was car crashed, because many fans read the internet forums or
comments and was confused by the fuss... 'what's wrong with it? Nah, I
won't bother buying this one' and the sales were damaged and the new
releases cancelled. For those out there who own a lovely 'huge super
wide screen plus' housed in an home extention, converted garage or
lounge, good for you. If you 'have your very own cinema' wonderful. But
if you are purchasing these releases, you are cheapening your passion 😏
These are for the Domestic Market. If you want to fill your screen a
'la moi cinema' I suggest you purchase a cinema print or projection
disc, which you will find is FAR more pricey than a domestic dvd or blu
ray. You are sourcing from the wrong market. In the near future, we will
be losing the fun of purchasing our much loved blu ray and dvd's, we'll
be no longer able to slip them onto our collection shelves, with their
impressive and colourful artwork and spines. Streaming is the future. If
like me you look forward to adding another title to your collection,
purchase a title you have been looking out for years, and OWNING... this
is all going to change soon. The Covid crisis has affected businesses
world-wide, in your town and maybe your livelihood too? Blu ray and home
distributor businesses are struggling too, so if you can, support them,
while we have them. Thank you - Marcus
