Darkness Tolls

[dvd#29]

[Note: This is a 3 movie collection of Christopher Lee films. Basically another opportunity to whore out Lee's cult name, even advertising 'Lord of the Rings and Star Wars star.' The cover picture is a hologram, one as you see above, the other Lee snarling. Very scary. The movies are The Satanic Rites of Dracula, Horror Express and Horror Hotel.]

[Above: Here is a PAL format release of Horror Express]

[Below: Also released by Vintage Home Entertainment, is this three movie compilation of Bela Lugosi, with a hologram cover as well. The movies are 'The White Zombie,' 'The Corpse Vanishes' and 'One Body Too Many.'

[Note: Someone did a horrible remake of this film in recent years (see below). This original version however is good old 80's horror and gore. There is a scene in the film where a demon comes out of a mortuary incinerator, some years later the demon's face appeared on the 'Root of Evil' Slayer shirt. No idea how that came about.]

[Below: The 2010 remake... the special effects look like comedy.]

[Note: The first movie I thought was pretty cool, but they seemed to get worse and worse after that. The third one is even watered down to a dismal PG-13, no doubt to expand their audience, like so many other movies these days! There is also an extremely crappy American version of the Eye as well. Just see the first one and forget all the others.]

[Note: Directed by horror great Umberto Lenzi. Originally released heavily edited in America as 'City of the Walking Dead.']

[Note: This is a super weird movie. Very unique and quite cool.]
