Love that movie. Especially the sequence where the twins are translating what the monsters are saying.

The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)



Wow! One of the best Sci-Fi of 50's that I have seen so far and this one comes with an extraordinarily brilliant screenplay!

>>: A

The Black Cat (1934)



I'm not sure whether this lines have already been in the HDC Horror Quote tournament but I highly recommend the following lines to V...for taking under consideration to take part in the tourney...superb lines!

"A masterpiece of construction built over a masterpiece of destruction."...Dr. Vitus Verdegast (Lugosi) [This one is really hilarious!:D]

"The phone is dead. Do you hear that, Vitus? Even the phone is dead." ...Hjalmar Poelzig (Karloff)

An awesome duel of performances between the 2 great legends!

>>: A-

Fantastic review! It's always been a great pleasure to read your reviews as well as there's always something to know about more about the film, people behind the camera & its story on them. It shows honestly how much you care & love those films.:)

Robinson Crusoe existence of Carey in the basement is really the most fabulous part of the film that still can blew away any first time viewer of the film (like me) even today. It totally amazed me that how intelligently Arnold & his team put everything together so nicely and provide the best treatment to the remarkable script of Richard Matheson which I think was really challenging that time. Any finally, the ending monologue...that totally differentiate the movie from any other sci-fi/horror masterpieces of 50's, 60's or anytime and made it a totally unique & amazing treasure of American film in the history of world cinema!

Thanks for the rec, I'll surely try to looking for it after the FIFA WC ends. But isn't that a 70's film?

Blood and Black Lace (1964). Colorful would be an understatement. This incredible horror entry from master Mario Bava serves a foundation a foundation for horror flicks to come. Among other things, it introduces the concept of the body count. But his use of color is what is most fascinating, for the screen is literally dripping in color. The camera work is also wonderful, playfully drawing the viewer in. The scenes are composed as if each were a work of art, and "the black bag" scene was simply alluring. The acting is at times laughable, but none of this matters as this wonderful movie is drenched in style; acting is a secondary concern. An absolute treat this one was. Ashe.
