1.Re-Animator [1985] starring: Bruce Abbott, David Gale, Robert Sampson, Barbara Crampton, Jeffrey Combs directed by: Stuart Gordon April 23, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.97 You Save: £11.02 (65%) Prices subject to change.
Newsflash this film bears very little resemblance to the H.P Lovecraft short story. This does not mean that the film is no good. On the contrary this is one of my favourite horror films and the lead Jeffrey Combs is one of my favourite horror actors. Herbert West is a student who has developed a serum that can bring dead tissues to life. Abandoning any moral code West begins to test out his serum in America (in the intro we see him testing it in europe supposedly fingers crossed they will soon release a prequel). It has disastrous results notably with a roommate's cat. Soon West and his roommate who is initailly black mailed by West(he is sleeping with the deans attractive daughter) and then decides to willingly help him in his quest. ... Read More:

Another reviewer rates this as 'two' because Alien is much better than all of these films. Quite right, Alien is much better, but competing with Alien is not what they set out to do! To judge it on this basis would be like saying that a Mini is no good as a car because it couldn't beat Lewis Hamilton's F1 vehicle in a race. Instead, judge it against what it is: a TV series boxed set, and realise that what you're getting here are seven films by, gasp, 'masters of horror' for the price of one. Their combined budgets were probably less than that of Alien (or at least what Alien would cost today) and one of the commentaries mentions having just a handful of days to do all the shooting. All are worth watching ... Read More:

3.Masters Of Horror Series 1 Volume 1 [2005] starring: Norman Reeduss, Udo Kier, Lucie Laurier, Henry Thomas, Ethan Embry directed by: Joe Dante, Mick Garris, Johnny Carpenter, Lucky McKee, Stuart Gordon October 23, 2006

Cigarette Burns: Just plain boring, rubbish plot and unsatisfactory ending. Dreams in the Witch-House: Not seen this one yet so cannot judge. Incident On and Off A Mountain Road: Really, really good! Just...great! I loved this one and the ending was just 'wow'. Chocolate: Kinda 'meh', doesn't do much but the flashback narrative is well done. Sick Girl: Accurately portrays how awkward homosexual relationships are sometimes! Plus there's not too much 'bug-i-ness' for those who are arachnophobic. The actress who played Ida was spot on and was the one woman in the series who didn't get her breasts out, which makes her all the better! There was a point where I just wanted to see what would happen with them ... Read More:

4.From Beyond [1986] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Ken Foree, Ted Sorel, Carolyn Purdy-Gordon directed by: Stuart Gordon September 11, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £9.82
Starring Jeffrey Combs (of Re-Animator fame). A tale of scientists trying to create a machine to see creatures that live in our atmosphere, that are usually invisible to the human eye. And then it all goes amazingly wrong for the two scientists. Blood and guts (or brains) aplenty here. All i can say is watch out for Combs staring into the camera and uttering the words "and it bit off his head like....like a ginger bread man".

5.Fortress [1994] starring: Christopher Lambert, Loryn Locklin, Kurtwood Smith, Clifton Collins Jr., Lincoln Kilpatrick directed by: Stuart Gordon March 08, 2004

Being a big fan of the Highlander films (excluding 4-5, including search for vengeance)and Christopher lambert I bought fortress years ago on vhs expecting pretty much the same sort of fair as Highlander and I was nicely surprised. What surprised me the most was how watchable fortress is, I must have watched my old vhs dozens of times and to be honest im still not tired of it now. The plot is very easy to get into, if a little clicé but that doesnt matter you dont need to think with fortress because it is good old straight forward action fair that any sci-fi fan can enjoy especially on a rainy day. Production value wise Fortress is almost B-movie but not quite, meaning that sometimes ... Read More:

6.Stuck [2007] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Mena Suvari, Bunthivy Nou, Wayne Robson, Carolyn Purdy-Gordon, Stephen Rea directed by: Stuart Gordon October 14, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £23.44
life were like this... A decent enough film.. but if you google for the real story, you realise real life is infinitely sadder and real people are sickeningly more hideous than fictitious films pretend.

7.Pit And The Pendulum [1990] starring: Lance Henriksen, Stephen Lee, William J. Norris, Mark Margolis, Carolyn Purdy-Gordon directed by: Stuart Gordon September 01, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.97 You Save: £1.02 (13%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.64
The Pit and the Pendulum tells the story of a woman and her husband that are "forced" to watch an Inquisition execution. Trapped in the middle of the mob, they can't turn back. The problem starts when Maria is unable to watch more and decides to defend the accused. She is immediately considered 'a witch'. This is not a horror movie, although it has some scenes that may get on your nerves. I consider the story behind it very interesting, although the acting is not as good as the story. Brother Torquemada is played by Lance Henriksen (Bishop, from Aliens).

8.Edmond [2006] starring: William H. Macy, Dylan Walsh, Denise Richards, Russell Hornsby, Debi Mazar directed by: Stuart Gordon January 28, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £19.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.87
Despite its promising beginning, this was an unsatisfying film which even William H Macy's brooding, minimalist acting failed to redeem. I thought that the direction was too stylised and the characters seemed two-dimensional, making it hard to feel engaged with the narrative. 'Edmond' had some amusing moments and some fairly shocking ones too, but unlike Pulp Fiction they didn't work together and the result was an uneven film that couldn't seem to decide whether it was drama or comedy. I won't be watching it again.

9.Dolls [1987] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Ian Patrick Williams, Carolyn Purdy-Gordon, Carrie Lorraine, Guy Rolfe, Hilary Mason directed by: Stuart Gordon September 20, 2005

Joined by hitchhikers Isabel Prange, (Bunty Bailey) and Enid, (Cassie Stuart) and real estate agent Ralph Morris, (Stephen Lee) the three groups settle in for the night. As they start to disappear during the night one-by-one, Judy says the dolls are responsible, but no one believes her.
