Blu-ray Review – The EuroCrypt of Christopher Lee (Severin)
When I was 12 (well over 25 years ago), AMC showed Hammer’s Horror of Dracula one October evening. I had just read the Stoker novel for the first time, and was originally taken back by the divergence from the source material (Yes, I was that much of a nerd), and then Christopher Lee came onto…
Blu-ray Review – Strike Commando 1 and 2 (Severin Films)
Am I allowed to just begin and end this review by saying that this stars Reb Brown and is directed by Bruno Mattei, and it’s restored on Blu-ray, so you should probably just go and buy it? No? I guess not. OK, I’ll soldier on then. So what we have here as 2 of the…

More normal people than myself are constantly decrying the end of physical media, but before Blu-ray happened, I was…

Blu-ray Review – Nosferatu in Venice – Severin Films
Nosferatu in Venice is a Klaus Kinski-starring pseudo sequel to the classic Nosferatu directed by Werner Herzog and starring Kinski. But aside from sharing Nosferatu in the title, the vampire aspect, and Kinsky nothing else relates, And I am totally cool with that. Eurohorror pseudo sequels, are never not interesting to me, and Nosferatu in…
