Bought this dvd because I'd seen it at the cinema, and it's actually better on dvd. Some scary moments, but the best things are the fantastic house set and the catalogue of the 13 ghosts. The house is made of glass and lined with spells engraved into the glass walls, which shift and change making it a freaky labyrinth. The ghosts all have a long back-story (detailed on the special features), which explains why they all called 'The Jackal' 'The Pilgrim' 'The Withered Lover' etc and are all ghosts are shot 'in camera' with no cheap blue/green screen or digitally enhanced ghoulies. Personally, in this age of 'lets bang in some CGI monsters here and there' its nice to see it done 'old style'. Its not Oscar winning material, but if you like a good horror yarn, with some originality then give this a go.Read full review
Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes
I BROUGHT THIS DVD AS I COLLECT HORROR MOVIES AND I WAS BEGINNING TO FIND MOST OF THE NEW ONES CHEESEY AND SLOW WITH NOT ENOUGH HORROR FOR MY TASTE AND WOW IT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE IT WAS A GREAT FILM AS WAS OVER ALL TOO SOON, I HAD TO CHECK THE RUNNING TIME AS IT FELT VERY FAST. ACTION FROM THE START INSTEAD OF THE LONG HOUR OF BUILD UP THAT YOU GET IN MOST MOVIES NOWADAYS AND THE HORROR HAD PRETTY GOOD EFFECTS, SINCE BUYING THIS DVD ON EBAY I HAVE WATCHED IT OVER FIFTY TIMES AND WILL SOON NEED A NEW COPY AS IT WILL BE WORN OUT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD.
