My Review 


The final movie review of this Halloween movie reviews from the old days been fun see lots of good movies and some not too good movies but this next one is I am hearing it is best horror classic old movie so figure I will watch it and see what I think of the movie. 


Silent movie are very good as this one is very well done for a 1922 film back then this one I am watching has movie doubt they had music back there and just silent film not sure will have to look it up anyway this soundtrack is pretty amazing. 


The characters are very good in this can of creepy for a old movie that way horror movie should be for a old movie vampire guy is can of creepy as well the guy who played him did a great job playing makeup is Excellent as well they sure made some Characters of Transylvania looks scary that is for sure creepy vampire looking guy is probably the best one of the film the guy Sneaks around the castle at late hours of the night with a creepy look as well so this pretty good film where the characters fit in very well making it good. 



As for story it was written very great as well for this old film was creepy with the guy going to Transylvania castle where a vampire is there waiting for him but later he somehow gets out there and then vampires pretty much follow him around most of time there were some kills but they didn’t show them much back then I bet. 


So did the film ended in huge twist not much he got what he came for and Vanished sad ending but good silent movie or film. 



I have to say I did enjoyed this old classic it was put put together very well back then for a old movie this will continue to be a horror classic from back in old days for 1922 this why I save it for last very because I heard good things about this movie and they were right it was not out of this world scary but again just put together well as well and if your horror fan should it be worth checking out that for sure .



I give Nosferatu (1922) a rating of 7/10

My Review 


Last year I think it was I review my first Dracula movie this year reviewing another one there so many versions of this one is 1970 one so let see if I think this one is better then last year one I see. 


Nice opening with castle of Dracula I think creepy music that a way to open up this movie . The guy later on wants to to Count Dracula castle everybody he talks to know what going to happen they are Freaking out very good acting there first 10 mins night Scenes are shot Beautiful with fog at night this guy is brave but crazy don’t think I like to go there and stay at that creepy castle or house Christopher Lee shows up at door and welcome him acting creepy too when he stands next to guy who open the door next to mirror he was not there that gives you sign he probably Dracula if I was that guy I would probably be running but this guy he did not very brave this guy is later on we see three woman who were Count Dracula Victims show up and try to eat them but Count Dracula says he my after first 20 mins this is a very good version and so far see amazing movie this is the way any Dracula movie should be. 


The guy jumps out window and wakes up in hospital and said he was at Count Dracula home and every time some one says that film goes zim in there eyes like being scared can of creepy but amazing shot there as well. 



There is a guy later who eating a bug they try talking to him but no luck not sure what that about maybe we see later on hopefully Count Dracula does get his first Victim later on a young girl name Lucy figures Dracula likes going after woman he does bite her later on Christopher Lee as Dracula will say fits the role amazing  job in this one probably the best one I see yet for this role. 


The music and soundtrack fits in well with movie as well with Scenes as well making indeed scary some as well every time he shows up you know he coming with music scary and so far he going after Lucy bite her twice my guess later she become his bride or just die.  She does show up now a vampire going after young so only way to stop them is go out and battle vampires so we may get a all out war for final battle with 2 guys going after him but good luck Dracula is tough and very powerful as well. 



When animals Statues make noise it was very scary there in castle good thing they have the cross and holy water going to need much I had a feeling he would go after blonde lady next and I was right he did. 



So down to final 10 mins after all amazing stuff I see in this I was Inside to see how this movie ends and what final moments bring they do go after all woman he turn first then go after Dracula next but again Expected me to be a fight he not going down without one but he did not they just pretty much burn can of odd ending but does spoil the movie too much as it was great. 



Something I would indeed watch again everything about this movie was great from acting to music great tale on Dracula series Christopher Lee as Dracula was great he was creepy as well he fit in well for that role enjoyed that as well this something you should check out if your a fan of series as well I would probably watch this around Halloween time because it fits in well with that holiday so will say in closing this indeed a worth checking out.



I give Count Dracula (1970) a rating of 8/10

Night of the Big Heat (1967) movie Review

 Starring………… Christopher Lee, Patrick Allen, Peter Cushing


Director………….. Terence Fisher



Synopsis


When a freak heat wave sends temperature soaring on an island, a scientist seeks answers, while his sexy ex forces matters toward the boiling point.



Warning spoilers ahead



My review


This is first time watching this movie night of the big heat says it Scfi horror movie so let’s see like last one if it is more of Scfi then horror movie.



First 5 mins no talking with woman driving down who ever she is very Beautiful Looking lady her car breaks down and is help after that a old man trying to start a fire he see something that scares him what not sure as color starts turning blue wonder if this has something to do with heat I found that odd and just cut to another Scene without showing us do hear a small buzz sound as well very odd sound you know something goes down when that sound start.



29 mins and story does heat up as woman driving was a ex of Scientist who married now she here to maybe heat things up again look on his face was priceless when he see his ex that not force to me on story whole interesting there seem to add that as 2nd story to steam things up whole things are heating up.



Something is cause people to burn 🔥 after a odd buzzing noise cause death so Christopher Lee character is trying to figure why it so far just see some effects and noises too me watching this seems can of slow does I do say acting a lot better then story I see going on though with slow writing though people Disappearing with sound of buzz so where do go not sure or maybe they just die it is confusing movie though it is more of Scfi but horror a little bit not much so after watching 1 hour and 11 mins in I was hope with slow building and writing that this would have maybe a huge ending that will be great.



Well last 15 mins we find out it is light that cause everybody to burn 🔥 up after that not good news for them when sun comes back up turn out what cause this was monster thing not sure was ugly though there was many so how did it getting it wet kills them then a few mins later it just ends.



Not best movie but not worst Scfi movie though was a weird one I say did not like ending much pretty much acting was better then writing though could of had a better build off then they killed 2 of best actors can of upset me a little bit but if they had to do it that fine would I watch this again maybe I would as for ending they could of had a better ending then that oh that how you kill the things or monsters the whole time can of silly too is all I got left to say.



I give the night of the big heat (1967) a rating of 5.5/10

The Spell (1977) tv Movie Review

 Starring…………..Lee Grant, Susan Myers and Helen Hunt



Director………… Lee Philips



Synopsis


Rita is fat from ordinary. When her classmates’ cruel teasing cannot be contained any longer, a supernatural power inside of her takes over.



Warning spoilers ahead




My review


Next the Spell starring a young Helen hunt that came out In 1977 movie starts with Bully a girl on her weight mean girls that is mean this sort of has Carrie vibes because that movie started out in same way then we climb rope match up and the girl was swing around and around and fall Flat ouch so did she die they never say because they cut to another Scene did talk about it later that then got me thinking probably has Carrie cash in or try with whole supernatural teen plot some but who knows maybe it turn out good for a TV movie yes this is yet so don’t look for too much gore it maybe have some scare spots after I got 30 mins and learn more about Rita character though she indeed one creepy girl though she seems nice sometimes though later on her a lady comes downstairs and just start to freak out ended with her being on fire and died pretty odd but can of scary some there that for sure:



Last 13 mins we find out someone help her using her powers but lady made her mad but does not kill her at all her mom finds out her Secret and then she goes crazy what a twist it was mom vs daughter sort of power battle but mom win and no one die as they huge there I almost thought it was going to end in death 💀 but it just ends what a weird TV movie I am sure many like me was probably going wtf I will say this was not best horror but good.



Well pretty much a Carrie rip off with knifes throwing thing at the end but I will say this was not bad movie Rita character start off little slow but as movie goes on we see her powers grow as that happens her attitude because bad as well which is pretty good writing for plot and at the end it was witch vs witch battle mom vs daughter but it did not end with no die not a bad way to ended too like a powerful message for the ended I will say and acting was good you had a young Helen hunt who was not bad in this very good acting as Susan was also good so you had some good acting that for there were some scary moments the music made it scary though and creepy though for old movie release in 70’s though In the end I will say I Enjoyed it it was very good horror and worth checking out if your like movies that too scary or gore gore movies would I watch this again probably I would.



That ends this Sunday movie review I will see you next week for another for now bye.




I give the spell (1977) a rating of 7.5/10 for good

Nightmare Castle (1966) movie Review

 Starring…………. Barbara Steel, Paul Muller and Helga Line”,



Director……….. Allan Grunewald



Synopsis


Italian Horror Icon Barbara Steel, of Black Sunday ‘ Fame, stars in this depraved horror classic as murdered adulteress and her insane stepsister.




Warning spoilers ahead



My Review


Next movie on review list for this Sunday feature another horror movie or so callled nightmare castle.


Opening shows a husband and wife and her sister or stepsister old are they witches also later on just as thought she cheating on her husband will say Piano music fits in well for this 1966 movie here first 15 mins are indeed painfully to watch her stepsister turn them in to husband and then after he caught him Torture began from him then we find out he after a Will but later on he kills both of them I think the same Actress play her sister as does a double role in this one as stepsister later on you can tell they are build up return of dark hair sister with small scares can of creepy as well turn out to maybe be a dream first 33 mins so far good her husband is something very evil man as he May plans on killing her as well.



Near the end the dead raise indeed as Muriel returns gets payback on Steven and boy she did let’s say Steven got put up in flame as movie after that comes to a close with a happy ending for Jenny what a great horror movie that was.



Pretty much this was a good one from start to end it was indeed scary some and plot was good with good music as well Barbara steel pretty much stole the movie with acting she was good as Muriel and Jenny I think she look a lot pretty as Jenny with blonde look as well also give credit Paul miller as Steven as his character was crazy what his plans in his head at the end for Steven again let’s say his plans went up in smoke. So would I watch this again good chance I would because it was a great movie for 1966 or 1965 horror and also soundtrack is very great as well any fan of Horror should check this movie out because it was indeed very very good movie with again great acting.




I give the nightmare castle (1966) or (1965) a rating of 7/10 for great.
