Hardly a high point in the careers of stars Richard Basehart and Gloria Grahame (not to mention an up-and-coming Lance Henrickson), this grisly little grindhouse version of Eyes Without a Face still has its disturbing moments. Insane surgeon Basehart transplants the eyeballs of unwilling live donors into the sockets of his maimed daughter and fails every time. Dp Andrew Davis went on to direct studio movies like The Fugitive. Also known as Eyes, The Eyes of Dr. Chaney, Terror of Dr. Chaney and Massacre Mansion.

The post Mansion of the Doomed appeared first on Trailers From Hell.

Mumbai, March 7: Bollywood actress Yami Gautam has shared steps on how to get the perfect picture on her social media platform.

Yami posted a throwback picture from her recent film release "Ginny Weds Sunny". She is seen dressed in a stunning embellished lehenga and smiling at the camera.

"Smile check aaaaand click #ginnywedssunny #happymemories," she wrote as the picture's caption.

The film which released digitally also features Vikrant Massey and is directed by Puneet Khanna.

Yami would next be seen in the spooky adventure comedy "Bhoot Police" which also stars actors Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Kapoor. The horror comedy would be directed by Pawan Kripalani, who has helmed thrillers like "Phobia" and "Ragini Mms" in the past.

Exploitation films were thriving in the ‘70s, and everything was excess. Why have one naked woman when you could have four, or settle for one onscreen flaying when clearly several are in order? Maybe watching Mansion of the Doomed (1976) you’d be content with a single case of eye transplant surgery instead of the six offered? Well, you’d be wrong. This is a film that leans heavy on the nihilism and nastiness of the times, with nary an existential answer yet plenty to talk about.

Doomed seems to be the key word in the title that permeates nearly every frame; other titles include Eyes, Massacre Mansion, and The Terror of Dr. Chaney, with the latter perhaps being the most apropos considering the moral dilemma lies completely on his shoulders. But Mansion of the Doomed works because, well, that mansion is packed with the doomed, protags and antags alike.

The Nesting tells the story of Lauren Cochran (Robin Groves), a mystery writer suffering from agoraphobia. Instead of confronting her condition, she rents an mansion in upstate New York to concentrate on her new novel, pushing her further into isolation.

Once she arrives, things get weird: The old man who owns the house (John Carradine) reacts strangely to her wanting to rent it and there seems to be something in the house, only nobody else notices. Even her boyfriend Mark (Christopher Loomis) seems to think she’s losing it.

Lauren Cochran has to be one of the strangest and most stubborn heroines in any film I’ve seen. Robin Groves imbues her with a bit of what made Christina Rains in The Sentinel work, and this film owes a lot to that movie. Yes, the character needs to exorcise some demons and prove to herself she isn’t crazy, but...

Novelist finds herself mysteriously drawn to an old Victorian mansion that was once an infamous brothel. Upon moving in, the estate is plagued by a series of grisly murders. However, she can't escape her new haunted abode due to the fact that she suffers from agoraphobia.

The Nesting effectively combines slick modern day gore & visuals with the vintage style of older black and white horror films. The old Victorian mansion becomes another character in of itself. The mansion has an eerie, spooky nature to it. The costuming of the dead hookers coupled with haunted house elements gives The Nesting its vintage feel. In her final role, Oscar winner Gloria Grahame turns in a slick, old school performance that perfectly reflects the overall tone of the film. The Nesting's use of...

Kiss Me Deadly (Criterion) Robert Aldrich’s 1955 reinvention of the film noir detective story is one of cinema’s great genre mash-ups: part hardboiled noir; part cold war paranoid thriller; and part science- fiction. Ralph Meeker plays Mickey Spillane’s fascist detective Mike Hammer as a narcissistic simian thug, a sadist who would rather smash a suspect’s fingers than make love to the bevvy of beautiful dames that cross his path. In fact, the only time you see a smile cross Meeker’s sneering mug is when he’s doling out pain, with a vengeance. When a terrified young woman (Cloris Leachman, film debut) literally crossed Hammer’s path one night, and later turns up dead, he vows to get to the bottom of her brutal demise. One of the most influential films ever made, and perhaps the most-cited film by the architects...

The Nesting (1981) An all star cast including Oscar winning screen veteran Gloria Grahame (in her final performance), legendary character actor John Carradine (The Howling) and Robin Groves (Silver Bullet) star in a haunted house horror chiller directed by Armand Weston of The Nesting (a.k.a. Phobia and Massacre Mansion).

After a theatrical run and some limited success upon the film's initial VHS release from Warner Home Video, The Nesting became long obscure. Well that changes now! The Nesting is finally hitting DVD and Blu-Ray shelves on June 28 from Blue Underground.

In The Nesting, a mystery writer finds herself mysteriously drawn to an isolated mansion. She leaves New York to move into the eerie Victorian mansion, once a brothel haunted by the ghost of a madam Florinda Costello (Gloria Grahame) along with an assortment of dead prostitutes. The ex-brothel is the scene of several gory killings, witnessed by the writer.

The Nesting is one of thousands of horror films that has never been released on DVD, that is until now, because Blue Underground is putting it out and you have the nice option of a pristine Blu-ray if you like.

A writer suffering from agoraphobia rents an isolated house so she can concentrate on her writing. She doesn’t know that the house is a former brothel, and is inhabited by the ghosts of dead prostitutes.

“Coming on both formats June 28, The Nesting (a.k.a. Phobia and Massacre Mansion) was directed by Armand Weston and stars Robin Groves as Lauren Cochran, an agoraphobic mystery writer who relocates from the city to an old Victorian house in the country to get over her writer’s block. Unfortunately, Lauren soon receives more inspiration than she’d like as people around her start dying violently, and she starts uncovering the house’s gruesome history.
