  • Picture Quality of Blu Ray
The picture quality is excellent. Good movie with Agnes Moorhead and Vincent Price. Nice extras.

  • Buy The Special Edition Copy
Buy the Special Edition blu-ray copy that was released in 2022. The Film Detective released a Blu-ray copy several years ago, and when I purchased that copy it wouldn’t play on any player I tried. I had to return it for being defective. When The Film Detective released it again in 2022 as a Special Edition version (with better cover art, too), I thought I’d try it again. The Special Edition one works great, and the film is one of my favorite old dark house movies, and it’s likely the first genuine slasher film ever made since it came out before ’Peeping Tom’ and ‘Psycho’ although it flew under the radar and was not well-received back in its day. It’s still a cult classic! Camp value is still value! ... show more

  • The Bat Flies onto Blu-Ray
Film Detective releases on Blu-ray this old dark house, crazed and masked killer on the loose type of mystery from 1959 starring Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead, and Gavin Gordon, looking quite nice in HD, an upgrade over the Film Chest 2013 barebones DVD, now including an audio commentary from film scholar Jason A. Nay, a featurette about the director and screenwriter Crane Wilbur, and also nine radio dramas featuring Vincent Price, primarily from the series "Suspense" and "Escape" that are worth a listen, some considered classics like 'Fugue in C Minor' and 'Three Skeleton Key'. Film itself is no classic but does have a good cast and setting, just don't think about plot logic too much.... ... show more

  • Excellent Quality Print Helps this Release
Most of this rating is for the quality of the Blu-Ray. The Blu-Ray is excellent and much better than the first restored dvd by The Film Detective that I purchased, 'Bucket of Blood'. If you are a fan of the movie and Vincent Price then you will want to spend the extra money and get this version. The movie itself I don't really love. It isn't that there is anything I can really point a finger at. It just doesn't thrill me. I felt the actions of some of the characters, namely the authoress and her assistant, weren't entirely believable. It's a simple 'whodunit?' mystery. The Bat as a villain, isn't much more of a villain than if he had no costume at all. The costume mainly provided a way to put him in the movie while hiding his face. The movie left me a bit confused and there really wasn't much chance to solve the crime as most of the clues were found by people searching the mansion rather than using logic from what they had seen. In any event, 2 stars for the movie, 1 star for Vincent Price and another star for the quality of the DVD. Recommended for old film buffs and Vincent Price fans. ... show more

  • First time riffers are loads of fun!
I picked up this dvd on a whim and I am sure glad I purchased it. This is the first Ralph and Rick resent dvd (burned as ordered) but you cannot tell it. The riffs come lightning fast from this pair who have already seemed to generate great chemistry. The pace of their delivery is pretty spot on, they do occasionally talk over each other and the audio does need to be turned up a bit to hear everything. That may ruin some people's opinion of it, but it never took away from the jokes if I had to rewind a bit to catch it all. I believe this was made in 2010 so the jokes are fairly current and topical, more of the tradition of Rifftrax than say early MST3K. I would have to rate the content at a high PG or low PG-13. No vulgar language but a few references to female anatomy and suggestive comments of sexual orientation, I can't imagine anyone being offended by the good natured ribbing. The production is professional and the extras are quite extensive, you can even watch the movie with the original audio (but why would you?). After all is said and done I highly recommend this dvd for anyone who is a fan of Rifftrax, Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Cinematic Titanic. ... show more

  • You’ll either like it or not
This is the movie I enjoyed it’s not one of my favorites but it’s entertaining and that’s the main part of it is that it is entertaining and I do enjoy the two leads, Agnes Moorehead and Vincent Price, Vincent Price, who has been in so many horror, movies, and Agnes Moorehead, who is known for being in e Endora on bewitched, shows her talent don’t expect a lot, but try not to be disappointed either ... show more
