Customer Reviews

Unwatchable Transfer Looks Like MUD!!
I wonder why any movie with BARBARA STEELE on DVD (with the exception of SYNAPSE'S stunning CASTLE OF BLOOD) has to look like crap? I mean this one takes the cake...of course it is only $, but I found it unwatchable.
And the truly bad pan and scanning treats you over and over to BARBARA STEELE'S amazing talking nose. I guess they did not think in anyway about the framing.
Also the sound is hideous, the print is completely faded to the point of almost black and white at parts. And it looks like swamp mud, what can I say. It really is not worth the bucks...wait until someone puts out a decent copy.
A lot of ALPHA'S releases are fine but this one is just really horrendous. The print quality is much scarier than the witch in the movie.

Horrid transfer!
To this date April 23rd, 2008 my great wish is still that one day someone will release She Beast, The Ghost, Castle of the Living Dead AKA Crypt of Terror, The Sorcerers and The Long Hair of Death in their correct aspect ratios and with a decent crisp transfer with audible sound. This is in reference to the Alpha DVD release. The Movie gets 3 to 4 stars from me personally.

Another awful DVD from Alpha Video (Buy the Dark Sky edition !)
Avoid this awful DVD from Alpha Video (Alpha is always bad), and get this one from Dark Sky Films, with a remarkable picture quality. For the first time this film is presented on a really good widescreen DVD transfer, with good extras (interesting audio commentary with Barbara Steele, Ian Ogilvy and the producer).
The director, Michael Reeves, is often considered as a genius. I wonder why. He made 3 bad films (this one is maybe the best), and died young. I supose this last quality made him "cult". Even Ian Ogilvy and Barbara Stelle have to admit it (on the commentary).
