Jesus that cover for Jacob's Ladder is embarrassing. But, you know, Lion's Gate and all. Attempting to fool the mouthbreathers that it's a brand-new movie.
And I'm surprised to see My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done is already on the verge of release. I thought it was going to do theatres first...at least the arthouse. I'll have to rent that one.
And, of course, I'll have to buy that Dolemite collection somewhere down the line. Exterminators of the Year 3000 also looks terribly incredible. Italian post-apocalyptic...that I haven't even heard of! Sign me up.

Agreed.

 


This was actually a pretty good comedy.  At the very end, the real guys bicker like two queers.  Funny stuff.



Looks a bit... beh.  Horrible expression to be putting on the cover.  Should have stuck with the original stairwell image.

SPIRITS OF THE DEAD (Histoires extraordinaires)


Released: on Blu ray: October 11 2010



Starring: Brigitte Bardot, Alain Delon, Jane Fonda, Terence Stamp
Directed by: Federico Fellini, Louis Malle, Roger Vadim
Rating: 18
Duration: 121 mins

Overview: Federico Fellini, Louis Malle and Roger Vadim adapt works by macabre author Edgar Allan Poe in the anthology film Spirits of the Dead [Histoires extraordinaires]. Dealing with tormented characters experiencing a personal hell, filled with angst and delirium, Spirits of the Dead was a ground-breaking departure for the adaption of Poe in cinema.

Vadim directs Jane Fonda as Countess Metzengerstein, a debauched heiress leading a life Caligula would commend. The Countess becomes tormented by the denial of her incestuous desire for her cousin Baron Berlifitzing (fittingly played by her brother Peter Fonda). Malle directs Alain Delon as William Wilson, an Austrian Solider who is haunted by his doppelgänger, tormenting him at times in his life where he is at his most cruel and sadistic. Fellini’s famed segment sees Terence Stamp as a Toby Dammit, an actor arriving in Rome to meet the producers of his new film, the first Catholic Western. Drugged and drunk, Dammit is disturbed by the haunting image of the devil, which like Mario Bava’s Kill, Baby... Kill! and Bunuel’s Simon of the Desert, is actually a young girl, ominously bouncing a ball.

Spirits of the Dead is presented in a brand new transfer from a new High Definition restoration of the original film negative. Reinstating Terence Stamp’s superb performance with his original English audio as well as alternate English audio options for Metzengerstein and William Wilson.

Special Features:
- Brand new transfer of Spirits of the Dead from a new HD restoration of the original negative

- Alternative English audio for Metzengerstein and William Wilson, multi-lingual English and Italian audio for Toby Dammit as well the French dubbed version

- Brand new English subtitle translation on all versions

- Features rare Vincent Price voice over narration used for the US theatrical version

- 60 page booklet featuring Edgar Allan Poe’s original short stories Metzengerstein, William Wilson and Never Bet the Devil Your Head (Toby Dammit)

- ‘Spirits of the Dead Revisited’ essay by critic and author Tim Lucas

- ‘Literature and Cinema’ essay by scholar and author Peter Bondanella on Toby Dammit


- Re-prints of original lobby cards and posters
