1.To The Devil A Daughter [1976] starring: Richard Widmark, Christopher Lee, Nastassja Kinski, Honor Blackman, Denholm Elliott directed by: Peter Sykes January 01, 2007

Occult novelist John Verney(Richard Widmark) is asked by his friend Harry Beddowes(Denholm Elliot) to look after his daughter Catherine whilst she's in London. What Verney does not know is that a group of Satanists lead by the excommunicated priest Father Michael(Christopher Lee) are desperate to get their hands on Catherine as she is required for a hideous ritual to bring the demon Azaroth back into the world. Soon Verney and his friends are fighting for their lives. This film, Hammer's last feature length horror, is an excellent adaptation of Dennis Wheatley's novel. It is very tense and quite frightening in places, especially as the forces of evil do have the upper hand for most of the film. Richard Widmark as Verney is terrific, maybe ... Read More:

2.Steptoe And Son / Steptoe And Son Ride Again [1973] starring: Wilfrid Brambell, Harry H. Corbett, Carolyn Seymour, Arthur Howard, Victor Maddern directed by: Cliff Owen, Peter Sykes August 04, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £10.00
The 1st film is the weaker, Harold's romance takes centre stage, and the comedy loses out a bit, but it still isn't too bad. The 2nd is great, a feature length version that gets the balance just right, probably the best film version of any British sitcom of that era.

This is a pretty unknown Hammer film, and I searched for it for a long time before it was released on DVD (the video was deleted years ago!). So when it was finally released I was rather excited having heard good things about the film. The feel of the film is classic old Hammer stuff and the performances, paricularly from the young actors playing Emil and Elizabeth, are pretty good. Its quite a bleak little film though, without a happy ending but I think the dark story should satisfy horror fans, although I don't think the film would appeal to a particularly wide audience these days. My only complaint would be that the plot is sometimes confusing, but other than that I highly recommend Demons of the Mind ... Read More:

5.The House In Nightmare Park [1973] starring: Frankie Howerd, Ray Milland, Hugh Burden, Kenneth Griffith, John Bennett directed by: Peter Sykes September 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
I don't have a clue how film industry executives select their material for dvd production and release, I would like to know, but the way I see it, on quality of enjoyment from a film, this one deserves to be available to that large and knowledgable section of British film lovers to enjoy once again. I fancy there are a few Frankie Howerd fans out there too, myself included, who regard this as perhaps his finest film. His music hall style is perfect for this role, as he plays a ham actor and he clearly enjoys the task. The plot is a fabulously hammy one centering around a psychopathic killer whose snobbishness and sense of class stature is perhaps as psychotic as his desire to murder those who actually have a better blood line than himself (Howerd). Howerd is ... Read More:

6.Jesus [1979] starring: Brian Deacon, Rivka Neuman, Joseph Shiloach, Niko Nitai, Mosko Alkalai directed by: John Krish, Peter Sykes November 14, 2000

I tried to watch this with an open mind, but found myself in stitches! From the opening when a rather underwhelmed Mary, on discovering that she is going to give birth to the Son of God, drones "My soul doth magnify the Lord!" in a way that suggests she has at least a hundred more interesting things to do that day, right through the gorgeously coiffured (seriously, would he really have had a team of hairdressers with him all the time?)Jesus, the performances are so understated that I found it impossible to relate to it at all. The actor playing Jesus looks as though he was stoned and had to read his script off-camera! The production is beautifully filmed, but several of the actors seemed not to be acting, but just reciting the script. ... Read More:

this film is a waste of time in ordering. It is copied and does not work at all on any DVD players. I advise people NOT to buy this!

9.To the Devil... A Daughter [1976] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Richard Widmark, Christopher Lee, Honor Blackman, Denholm Elliott, Michael Goodliffe directed by: Peter Sykes October 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.98
To the Devil a Daughter was Hammer's last horror film, but it makes for a less than grand slice of guignol and pales in comparison to their earlier Dennis Wheatley adaptation, The Devil Rides Out. Richard Widmark is the imported American star battling Christopher Lee's Satanist while trying to protect Nastassja Kinski from becoming host to a demon, but despite a few good scenes the film never really makes much of its premise and the ending is one of the biggest anticlimaxes in the history of horror. The best part of it is the excellent documentary on Anchor Bay's Region 1 NTSC DVD, which is surprisingly frank about the film's shortcomings - including that non-ending - and Richard Widmark's tantrums on the set. Anchor Bay's transfer is also surprisingly good: ... Read More:
