Title: Unknown early British Horrors - Blood of the Vampire & Daughter of Darkness Post by: R-T-C Tim on January 13, 2007, 04:35:06 PM (http://mondo-esoterica.net/title_img/Blood%20of%20the%20Vampire/title.jpg)
Daughter of Darkness (1948) - http://mondo-esoterica.net/Daughter%20of%2...20Darkness.html (http://mondo-esoterica.net/Daughter%20of%20Darkness.html) An early British psycho-horror, or at least it tries to be, but the psychology is notably absent in what amounts to little more than a slasher film, without any of the excitement of that particular genre. A decent print on this release, and more than watchable. (To be released on 15th Jan) Blood of the Vampire (1958) - http://mondo-esoterica.net/Blood%20of%20th...%20Vampire.html (http://mondo-esoterica.net/Blood%20of%20the%20Vampire.html) An interesting Hammer style gothic horror film written by Hammer’s own Jimmy Sangster. Rather more Frankenstein than Vampire, it is a rather good and enjoyable film - unfortunately DDHE’s DVD is rather poor, blurry and cropped it is noticeably worse than the recent US release from Dark Sky films, plus no audio commentary track either: (http://mondo-esoterica.net/dvdcomp/blood_vamp.jpg) Title: Re: Unknown early British Horrors - Blood of the Vampire & Daughter of Darkness Post by: Andrew on January 13, 2007, 06:06:38 PM That is a big difference between the two releases. I have seen that before too, like the old DVD release of "The Brainiac" compared to the the amazingly clear new DVD by Casanegra.
