VINE™ VOICE
Format:VHS Tape
I like this film so much because it's so unusual. A millionaire businessman and big game hunter invites a number of guests to his secluded mansion. He knows one of them is a werewolf,but not which one,they've all got a suspicious past. One by one they start to die. The opening sequence will surprise you ,it did me. Some of the acting isn't up to De Niro standard but I thoroughly recommend it.

Format:DVD
This full length feature from a studio best known for its portmanteau anthologies misfires in some respects, but it's still an enjoyable horror flick. Mixing the country house mystery with a werewolf horror, we have a mismatched selection of characters, and are expected to guess which is the wereworlf. There's even an amazingly cheesy "werewolf break" where a narrator tells us we have 30 seconds to guess! I haven't seen anything like that in a film before or since. The film mixes this with high-tech gadgets, with sophisticated surveillance equipment in the country house. It reminded me of "The Prisoner" in that respect. There werewolf itself is clearly just an alsation, but no matter, if you take this flick for what it is you'll enjoy it.

I love this film! It was`nt really meant to be taken that seriously back in 1974 when it first appeared, almost 30 years on, it can only get better! The parts that are meant to be funny are good, the parts that are NOT are even more hilarious! You can't help but think that everyone on set had a great time making this film and it shows. Highlights include; Peter Cushing's dodgy accent, meant to be German but frequently sounding Indian, Calvin Lockhart's accent and mannerisms, The werewolf who looks more like an Alsation dog, the dodgy (but funny) bad acting in general, groovy 70's tunes plus fab clothing and to cap it all the legendary 'Werewolf break'. You`ll have to watch the film to know what I'm on about. All in all, a great comedy/horror with groovy 70's funk capped with a copious amount of cheese, making for an entertaining and hilarious night in front of the box. Highly recommended.

One of the guests will turn into an Alsatian!!!
After the first 10 minutes I was bored. The opening scene went on for absolute ages and that set the tone for the majority of the movie. Read more

The beast must be hunted
Honestly, I wanted to love "The Beast Must Die." Who wouldn't adore the idea of a country-house murder mystery with an urban fantasy twist? Read more

All the ingredients of a classic - but not quiet properly cooked
This 1974 offering from Amicus has an eclectic cast and a tantalising premise that is entertaining enough but never quite reaches the pinnacle to which it aspires. Read more
