The Battle of the River Plate

Hammer horror fans are in for a treat, as respective collections of five William Castle films and five Hammer horror movies are coming out on Blu-ray in August, and The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant has been set to come out on Blu-ray. The William Castle and Hammer horror collections will respectively come out on DVD August 18th from Mill Creek. The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant, meanwhile, is slated for release later this year by Kino Lorber. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for further updates. From Mill Creek: "Iconic horror director William Castle created a simple, but winning formula for his films: a little comedy, a lot of scares, a preposterous gimmick, and a clear sense that fright films should be fun. This even meant Castle would, like Alfred Hitchcock, appear in his trailers and even the movies themselves. Though his career spanned 35 years and included everything from westerns to crime thrillers, he'll

Retro Review 1981: Clash of the Titans

Normal 0 false false false En-us Zh-cn Ar-sa MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Clash of the Titans (Original Release Date: 12 June 1981) The original Clash of the Titans has gotten some attention thanks to last year's remake. I guess that's cool, but I don't know how capable it is of making new fans. I can see people new to it liking it for what they feel to be kitsch. Looking at it as an adult, I can also imagine its original audience seeing it as kitsch. Harryhausen's old-school approach to stop-motion looks creaky in comparison to the "go motion" developed by Phil Tippett for Empire Strikes Back, so it might have been a tough sell even then. It looks a little creaky in comparison to the best of earlier Harryhausen, too, so that doesn't help matters. The Rotoscoping is more apparent than it is in The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts. Shading mismatches,

Blu-Ray Review: Original 1981 ‘Clash of the Titans’ Deserves Better Re-Release

Chicago – The Winter Olympics coverage on NBC made it impossible for viewers to ignore the fact that there is indeed a “Clash of the Titans” remake coming out in April. This may seem redundant, since the vast majority of modern fantasy has in some way ripped off Greek mythology. Both “Harry Potter” and “Percy Jackson” include a variation on Medusa, the reptilian villain with snake hair and a stoney stare. Medusa has been giving young moviegoers nightmares for decades, thanks to Ray Harryhausen, whose distinctive stop-motion effects have enhanced cinema since the early 40s. Their herky-jerky movement has a life and immediacy that simply can’t be mimicked by today’s all-too-fluid CGI. 1981’s “Titans” marked the last time Harryhausen served as “special visual effects creator.” It’s a tribute to his mastery that the film still has a timeless grandeur, despite the fact that its effects now seem to
