Being the film that catapulted Vincent Price into the horror hall of
fame, House of Wax was one film that needed to see the light of
day on DVD. The wait was worth it! As a bonus, WB threw in the
original Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) with Lionel Atwill (Son
of Frankenstein) and Fay Wray (King Kong) directed by none other
than Michael Curtiz (Casablanca). A very early 2-color film that
holds up well today, MOTWM is definitely a must see for fans of
House of Wax. A second bonus feature, while only two minutes
long, is an unbelievable film shot at its premiere. Among other
noteworthy guests caught on film, Bela Lugosi is captured walking
up the red carpet in his Dracula cape sporting a man chained in a
gorilla suit! The picture quality of House of Wax is dynamite! Rich textures and
colors have been brought out by the transfer that make it appear
as if it were shot yesterday. The crystal clear transfer sets the bar
for other horror classics yet to see a DVD release. This disc is
most certainly a must for any Vincent Price fan!

Perhaps the strangest film to come out of Hammer Studios, The Lost Continent is literally like watching two movies in one. Similar in format to Tarantino's From Dusk 'til Dawn, the film shifts from a taut "mutiny on the bounty" type nautical drama play (with a little funky late sixties weirdness thrown in) to a whacked out sci-fi freak show complete with corny monsters, strange & hostile plants, an unnaturally large breasted woman, a child King, an oddball religious cult, and balloon-type thingies to keep the characters afloat on the marshy alien wetlands! Whew! Talk about your shift in gears! A must see for fans of oddball cinema. And to think it came out of Great Britain . . .
I have to admit, I was a bit worried when I picked this baby up, but it shocked me for sure when I watched it. The awesome box cover pulled me in, but the movie is actually really good. Despite not having either Cushing or Lee, this film holds up because of the cast's seriousness and a very cool monster. Much like all mummy films, the curse to those that disturbed the mummy's tomb carries the plot of this sucker. That along with some drama about a "rich heartless father vs. handsome moral son" relationship and the girl mixed up in it and blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah . . .Who cares? We just wanna see mummies killin', right? And kill he does. Watch the close up of the centuries-old dust falling from his opening eyelids. Classic Hammer!
