‘Hell is behind that door! You’re going to meet death now… the living dead!’
Director: Dario Argento
Cast: Jessica Harper, Stefania Casini, Flavio Bucci, Joan Bennett
Plot: Suzy’s the new girl at a prestigious European ballet school, however her arrival coincides with the gruesome murder of one of the dancers. Determined to investigate the increasingly horrific events, she starts to believe a coven of witches is responsible…
The first time I saw Suspiria (1977) I was a little hesitant: dodgy dubbing, a slightly cheesy European look and acting that’s definitely on the wrong side of hammy. But by the time the opening sequence had ended in a blood splattered saturnalia of nastiness I realised I was, in fact, watching pure horror genius. Suspiria is the celluloid nasty you just can’t get out of your head. The vivid and garish colour palette of bright reds, blues and greens, »

Stars: Catriona MacColl, Paolo Malco, Ania Pieroni, Giovanni Frezza, Giovanni De Nava | Written by Lucio Fulci, Giorgio Mariuzzo, Dardano Sacchetti | Directed by Lucio Fulci
Lucio Fulci sure had a way with films, especially his “Gates of Hell” trilogy. Arrow Video now complete their Blu-Ray release of the trilogy with The House by the Cemetery (the other two being City of the Living Dead and The Beyond) and what a release. With an excellent picture quality and a disk full of extras this could arguably be the best way to experience the film, other than on the big screen of course.
The House by the Cemetery starts off by throwing blood and gore at you then changes tone with a Shining style warning to a boy from a picture of a little girl at the window of the titular house not to enter it. In a »

David Gordon Green, who knocked one out of the park with “Pineapple Express” before striking out twice in a roll with “Your Highness” and “The Sitter”, and who has been attached to remake Dario Argento’s 1977 Italian supernatural thriller “Suspiria”, is officially a go. Green, who was originally attached the the remake way back in 2009, will direct the film from a script he co-wrote with Chris Gebert. The original followed Suzy, a young, nubile American ballet dancer (originally played by Jessica Harper) who travels to Europe to attend a world renowned dance academy, where a series of brutal murders take place and our heroine discovers that her school may, in fact, just be a front for something much more wicked. Heck, I could say that about all my schools, but I digress. The original also starred Stefania Casini, Flavio Bucci, Miguel Bosé, and genre fave Udo Kier. Argento has said »

It’s time for another update from our friends at Arrow Video, this time previewing their <ay 2012 releases which include the long-awaited Blu-ray release of the House By the Cemetary and the ArrowDrome release of The Exterminator.
The House by the Cemetery (Arrow Video) Limited Edition Blu-ray
You may have just mortgaged your life! Shock gore master Lucio Fulci’s The House by the Cemetery is one of the finest typically single-minded exercises in zombie terror. Its just a shame no-one told the Boyle family who move into a gothic style house (by a cemetery) with a bloody past and a guts spraying future, what is yet to come! You’d think they’d twig given the basement door is nailed shut that they should get the hell out. Instead they stay long enough to discover their zombified non rent-paying lodger, the cellar-dwelling, flesh-hungry Dr Freudstein and boy is he pissed! »
