Mail day!

Straight from Arrow Video: Don’t Torture a Duckling, fresh out of the oven in glorious 4K!

At the start of the year, I told myself I’d cut back on BD-to-UHD upgrades and focus on buying movies I don’t already own. But hey, there are always exceptions – for example, Fulci and other Italian gore masters need to be in the best possible format. If nothing else, just to show some support.

That said, I think most 4K releases don’t actually look that much better than Blu-ray, so it’s not always worth throwing money at UHD upgrades, especially when you could be picking up new flicks instead. Otherwise, you risk getting stuck in an endless upgrade cycle.

I still remember when the Blu-ray format hit the market. The jump from DVD (let alone VHS) to full HD was a massive leap, and movies genuinely looked so much better. Now, the difference between 1080p and 2160p in 4K is noticeably smaller… especially when it’s a half-assed cash grab.

That said, hats off to Second Sight, Severin, Arrow, and the rest who actually put time and effort into proper restorations.

Finally cracked open Cauldron Films’ The Houses of Doom box set and treated myself to a Fulci double feature: The Sweet House of Horrors (1989) and The House of Clocks (1989), both from Fulci’s later work in 1989, originally made as Italian TV movies.

Sure, these don’t exactly rank among Fulci’s finest, but I gotta admit – they were super entertaining and fun watches.

The Sweet House of Horrors felt like an eerie fairy tale for adults, where a wealthy couple gets brutally murdered (in classic Fulci fashion, meaning no shortage of gore) but then returns from beyond the grave to be with their kids. The House of Clocks follows three young burglars who pick the wrong house to rob, where time itself starts playing all kinds of twisted tricks…

In The Black Cat (1981) Lucio Fulci takes Poe's story as a starting point and then builds a new story. Two young lovers have vanished. A crazy professor (played by Patrick Magee!) talks to the dead. He has a psychic link to his cat. Great movie.

Monster of the Opera (1964) seems like a typical "young lady in semi-transparent nightie running in terror" gothic horror film but turns out to be much odder. It's a vampire in a haunted theatre film. Or maybe it isn't. Bizarre but fascinating.

Riccardo Freda's The Horrible Dr Hichcock (1962) is overcooked overdone overblown outrageous. A mad scientist with a thing for dead girls. Madness and very unhealthy sexual obsessions. Barbara Steele is excellent. Shades of Hitchcock's Rebecca.

Castle of the Creeping Flesh (1968) is an enjoyable German eurohorror film falling into the gothic horror in a contemporary setting sub-genre, with added decadence and lots of weirdness. It's also sleazy and includes a guy-in-a-bear-suit.

Filippo Walter Ratti’s Crazy Desires of a Murderer (1977) teases you as to whether it's going to be gothic horror or giallo. It has family secrets, a gothic castle, some creepiness, a dash of gore and a nice atmosphere of decadence. Enjoyable.
