Blu-ray Reviews of Night of the Werewolf / Vengeance of the Zombies [Blu-ray]Blu-ray Review: clean prints on these films make them better than dvd Summary: 4 Stars
These are two spanish made horror films of the seventies, they used mono sound on most movies back then so the review about bad sound shouldn't phase you. BCI unfortunately went out of business so we won't be seeing anymore blu rays from them , they managed to put out a few low budget gems though like this one and 'sister street fighter' and wisely they gave us two movies for the price of one. Something the major studios should do on older titles. The films have clean prints which is great , I can't stand watching dirty prints and scratches all over the place when you can clean them up digitally these days. It's a moot point because BCI is gone and Paul Naschy followed them to the grave last year sadly. He loved making wolfman movies and they are a varied lot with 15 of them or so made by Naschy over his career. I enjoyed them all and have tried to get them on dvd; so I was glad to see this blu ray edition. It's a standard gothic wolfman tale here unlike a few of the others in like the werewolf meets dr jeckyl or werewolf meets the vampire women, it's more like 'mark of the wolfman' ok , so if you don't like low budget horror movies you don't even need to get these, these are movies from the seventies though and they have nudity etc in them so it's not low budget for preteens either imo. I would love to see tons of low budget horror and such come out on blu ray , even a straight dvd to blu ray type transfer looks better than the standard dvd,although few movies from the past will ever look like a newer one on blu ray ,restoration can make them look great. these had really good prints so that really helps on this release. the zombies movie is really cool imo , it features the old style zombies ,created from witchcraft and those were fading out in 72 to be replaced by flesh eaters! However; this like most low budget horror is not going to be on the top lists of most people, however low budget horror is a love of mine so on a low budget horror movie scale I give these flicks a four star rating. sure they are awkward occasionally but the naschy werewolf movies are alot of pure fun! Sadly there's not alot of old horror on blu ray yet. It will always look better on blu ray even if it's not restored color wise, these prints were good ones though! Remember these are spanish horror movies which have bit different flavor from ours perhaps but you do get english soundtrack dubs too. People who can't enjoy old horror with a bit of camp perhaps should avoid these but for those of us who dig these , I would love to see more blu rays of old foreign horror movies. And these are better than many other foreign flicks of the day due to naschys presence.

Description of Night of the Werewolf / Vengeance of the Zombies [Blu-ray]Night of the Werewolf (Spanish title: El Retorno Del Hombre Lobo U.S. title: The Craving)Filmed in the real castles of Spain The Night of the Werewolf is one of Naschy s most impressive films a sumptuous Gothic feast that pits Naschy s werewolf Waldemar Daninsky against the Blood Countess herself Elizabeth Bathory. Filled with werewolf transformations seductive vampire women bloody stakes and piercing silver daggers the film has garnered praise for its fantastical inventiveness and use of macabre imagery.Vengeance of the Zombies (Spanish title: La Rebelion de las Muertas)Vengeance of the Zombies offers a triple threat performance by Naschy as a Hindu mystic his evil brother and the Devil himself. Zombies satanic voodoo rituals and gruesome killings combine to make Vengeance of the Zombies a bizarre ride in the best horror tradition a film that defines the term euro-cult as few other films can. Reportedly practitioners of the black arts have found hidden meanings in the film that transcend the picture s story-telling plotting making the impact of Vengeance of the Zombies that much more intense--and frightful.System Requirements:Running Time: 183 Mins.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: HORROR Rating: NR UPC: 787364798490 Manufacturer No: CARTON QTY 35
