Tower of Evil [ Blu-Ray ] (Remastered Edition)



A great piece of 70's schlock/exploitation...
Tower of Evil is no masterpiece, but an interesting predecessor to the modern slasher film. It often comes across as a poorer version of Mario Bava's Twitch of the Death Nerve in terms of exploitation and gore, not in terms of story at all. Fans of Friday the 13th and the like will probably find much to savor here, sex and nudity, brutal murders and a final twist at the end, just for good measure. The disc, by the way, looks wonderful, makes you worship the power of DVD, horror fans should pick this one up.

The early seventies-what a great era
Another terrific early seventies creep-fest. With me it's always about mood and atmosphere. This one also has some good gore and of course great bell-bottoms. There is just something about watching this one late at night with the lights off and a beer in your hand. Somehow it just seems perfect.

Effective horror in a nice 16:9 transfer but without subtitles
This creepy and effective horror film set on a desolate foggy island delivers many haunting moments of atmosphere and gruesome murders. The aspect ratio is 1.78:1 (16:9 enhanced) and not 1,33:1 as listed here in Amazon. The nicely remastered HD transfer is solid but unfortunately there are no English subtitles.
